I know Wolfgang's dad taught him to play guitar and keyboard, but I wonder who taught him to play drums?

The Cars are the only band I like. I totally understand Bon Jovi getting in, but I never understood the appeal of Dire Straights and The Moody Blues.

You don't understand the appeal of The Moody Blues?! They should have been in long ago. Where are the seminal hard rock bands like Mountain, Grand Funk, The James Gang, Ronnie Montrose, Robin Trower and Michael Schenker? The RRHOF has no importance or validity.

This is true. However, Maiden and Priest should have been in already.

This I 100% agree with. I think if a few of those other bands came out later, I don't think people would have gravitated to them like they did.

Early Moody Blues is much different than " Widest Dreams " Moody Blues. Tuesday Afternoon is a great song. I found that when I was 12 or so.

I hated Sultans of Swing for the longest time. It really is a great song about gigging bands.

I cant wait until 21 Pilots and Guster get in...
