Personally I think that the critics get a sick satisfaction out of putting rappers and R&B artists over actual rock musicians. It just lowers the legitimacy of the Rock Hall, so the joke is on them. Before anyone jumps to judgement, if BET had a Hall of Fame, would they induct Kraftwerk, Aerosmith, King Crimson, Queen, The Turtles, Buffalo Springfield, Lou Reed etc; even though these artists/bands have been sampled by million selling rap albums? Think about it…
MC5, King Crimson, Bad Co., Captain Beefheart, Blue Öyster Cult, Television, Grand Funk, Humble Pie, Mountain, Steppenwolf, Iggy Pop, Johnny Winter and many more would already have been in the rock hall if the nominees were selected on merit. Clearly, that is not the case. So forget about that stupid museum.
Probably because singer Lou is a right wing christian. HOF is a joke with their rappers and country stars included. I never watch it or the grammys or the oscars or the Kardashians, the Voice, AGT, all these pre determined scripted shows.
I’m sure they are not losing any sleep over you not liking them. So with that said why are you on here watching and commenting since you don’t like them? 🤷♂️🙄😂
HOW CAN THEY NOT BE INCLUDED, I ALWAYS LISTENED TO THEM, SINCE I WAS YOUNG !
This current lineup is NOT Foreigner
The original members are nominated for induction, not the current, so whether or not they're original is irrelevant.
Boston should be in.

Funny you mentioned King Crimson, I lost interest in Foreigner after Ian McDonald left

CRITICS, NEED TO OPEN THEYRE EARS *
Only one name! Jann Wenner!
the induction process is a joke
What about Joe Cocker? Not in the Hall...or Jethro TuLL?...and how long did it take The Moody Blues to get in?..look that up..
That was disgraceful
I GRADUATED IN 1978 *
Never cared for them
No one cares for your opinion.
