You can't always get what you want

Whenever bands are inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, there's always somebody whining.

The whining begins with naming the other inductees, as if their award was overlooked:

"The ’70s/’80s arena band heads a list of inductees announced yesterday that includes four more-worthy candidates: Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, R.E.M., Patti Smith and the Ronettes - as a whole, one of the stronger lists of inductees."

Then it continues into a list of other bands that deserve entrance but no one cares about:

"... the Stooges, the MC5 and the New York Dolls - are still out in the cold. So are Northwest legends the Sonics, who practically invented garage rock ... Why not such greats as Husker Du, Sonic Youth, the Replacements or Mission of Burma? ... At the very least, Roxy Music, King Crimson and Peter Gabriel-era Genesis should have earned their wings by now."

We at SeriouslyGuys are glad that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame haven't inducted every band a music snob can name: that's what later years are for, when they've run out of legends.
