i guess they will be in there the next 4-5 years. when the time comes i hope they will reject it, its an honour but in the end of the day its politics and a group of people who pull the strings...bj arent the most innovative or pioneeer band for sure, but they are the only band who isnt inducted yet that makes popular rock music for 3 decades, keeps getting stronger, hasnt become a nostalgia-reunion etc band and is trully popular in a woldwide base...the public interest and the people who show up in their tours year after year are far more important than some critics who think that by bushing bj their professional intergity will rise...
