Green Day gets into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

...but the Smiths and the Pixies still haven't, to my knowledge. Somebody tell me if it's not true.

Story here

Okay, Stevie Ray Vaughan deserves to get in. The other folks inducted, fine.

But if they ever open up a Glaring Omissions Department, I'm going to be first in line at the office. Is all I'm saying.

NOT in R&R HOF:
Moody Blues, Kansas, Doobie Bros., Yes, Jethro Tull (Ian Anderson), King Crimson, Chicago, Emerson, Lake, & Palmer, Mountain (Leslie West), Procol Harum, Robin Trower, Alvin Lee / Ten Years After (just a few off the top of my head).

But the Beastie Boys and Run DMC are... seriously?

Allegedly because they're to blame for "pop metal," but it has more to do judge Dave Marsh being married to a member of fellow New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen's management.
