Will the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominations ever cease to disappoint fans?

From Nine Inch Nails to A Tribe Called Quest and everything in between, the range of talent being ignored in the nominees list for the 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is disappointing
PUBLISHED OCT 9, 2018

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has revealed the nominees for its class of 2019 and if you listen very closely, you can almost hear the rock world collectively sigh and shrug.

This year's nominees include Radiohead, Rage Against The Machine, Janet Jackson, Roxy Music, Stevie Nicks, The Cure, and Def Leppard. Other finalists include Todd Rundgren, Rufus and Chaka Khan, LL Cool J, The Zombies, Devo, John Prine, MC5, and Kraftwerk.

It might seem like a pretty good list but, with a little context, you'll soon empathize with the ever disappointed fans of rock from around the world, for whom it's almost become a tradition now to diss the Hall of Fame nominations.
