If you were asked to add one inductee into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame that hasn't been inducted Who would you choose?

KISS I had to look twice and could not believe that Kiss was missing. They define the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal movement and their influence can be heard in tons of modern music. kissonline.com/history.

There's only one band for me: Rush. This interpid Canadian trio are one of the best live bands around and have had an influence on many great bands through the years. What makes them stand out is that they are all superb musicians, with Neil Peart perhaps being the best drummer in the world.

They may not have had the success on the top 100, but all their albums have hit gold. They've had a few hits, with Tom Sawyer perhaps being their most famous. If you listen to all their albums you'll find a diverse sound, ranging from very hard rock, tradional rock, progressive rock and even a little rap and reggae thrown in (Roll the Bones).

The are a very versatile band who produce all their own music (they did one cover album). They've been rocking for nearly 40 years, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them hit 50 years. Looking at the individuals: Neil Peart - not only is he a genius on the drums, and percussion, but he is also an amazing writer (he's written books on his jounrey's on his motorcycle) - his lyrics are often very profound and thought provoking.

Geddy Lee - what can you say about him? A prolific bass guitarist, and a vocalist whose voice is very unique - over time it has changed, lowering in range, but even now it has a unique quality to it. Alex Lifeson - one of the best lead guitars in any rock band - his expertise is highlighted in their early work with some great solos; while the solo isn't as prominant in Rush's latest work, you can hear his skill in the instrumentals that Rush are famous for - the most famous probably being YYZ.

Overall they have a distinctive sound, and with the advent of Rock Band, and the inclusion in many new movies, Rush are becoming very popular with a whole new generation! Rush will be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on June 25, 2010 - and hopefully will win awards for their new documentary Beyond the Lighted Stage that is released today - so let's further honor them by inducting them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

This one is easy.....Pat Benatar. Now I'm not saying this because I myself am female, but when my dad told me she was not a part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I couldn't believe it. This girl can ROCK!

She is not the Joan Jett, who was all hyped up on drugs---Pat Benatar is the woman of Rock and Roll. Here are the statistics to prove that she should be in it. She was the first ever female performer to be featured on MTV.

The thing of it is----she was born in 1953--so 56 years old and still rocking--check the video from 2001 a live performance of Heartbreaker--she's 48 and still bringing it! 2 of the 3 videos are live---and she sounds like her recorded versions---unlike many of the female performers today who need the aid of modern technology and get inducted in. Of the ten Grammy Award ceremonies in the 1980s, Benatar was nominated for Best Female Rock Performance eight times.

She won an unprecedented four consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Female Rock Performance from 1980 to 1983 for her second LP, Crimes of Passion, and the songs "Fire and Ice", "Shadows of the Night", and "Love Is a Battlefield". Benatar was twice named Rolling Stone magazine's Favorite Female Vocalist, and Billboard magazine ranks her as the most successful female rock vocalist of all time based on overall record sales and the number of hit songs and their charted positions. Benatar is one of the top-selling female artists of all time, and one of the 1980s Top Platinum Album Recipients, according to the Recording Industry Association of America with two RIAA-certified Multi-Platinum albums and five RIAA-certified Platinum albums, plus three RIAA-certified Gold albums and 19 Top 40 singles to her credit.

I did a lot of thinking about this. After making sure that Punk was represented, and it is (Sex Pistols, Ramones, Clash, Kinks, etc), my search came down to either KISS or Alice Cooper. The deciding factor between the two is that KISS was nominated this year for the first time, which means they will likely be elected, or at least have a chance.

Alice Cooper has never even been nominated. How crazy is that? He says it's a private club and he must have made somebody angry.

But the best thing he says about it is this "when I do get eleceted, I'm going to have Pete Rose accept the award for me". (see video below). What a funny line!

What do Hank Williams, Nat Kng Cole, Run DMC, Miles Davis, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, ABBA, Grandmaster Flash, The Ink Spots, Brenda Lee, Bill Monroe, Jimmie Rodgers, and James Taylor all have in common? According to the nominating committee and voters, they are all more influential in the history and development of Rock and Roll Music. Oh Please, C'mon, REALLY?

Here is an online petition to add Alice that is closing in on 17,000 signatures: http://www.petitiononline.com/coophall/petition.html Here is a second petition site: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/alice-cooper.html And of course a Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8421236887&v=info Here's some classic Alice, how can you ignore this kind of greatness? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbNEOJMGFAo&feature=related Alice is a cool dude talking with Craig Ferguson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm8_TSf6HqY.

My choice would be Leon Russell. He is, I believe, one of the most under rated musicians and I think he definitely should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

There's a whole damn website devoted to who's eligible when: futurerocklegends.com/future_eligibles.php Except it's wrong. Bono is already in under U2. That being said, I combed the list.

A top-40 on-air personality myself in the early 1990s, here's who I'd pick: I'd put the singers of the song I almost used as my show's theme: Cult of Personality" by Living Colour. podcast.xs4all.nl/upload/werksman-living... MC Hammer belongs there, too. As do Crowded House in there--Lite FM stations still play "Don't Dream It's Over" 25 years later.

Beinda Carlisle..Kylie Minogue.. but I get one. Take Living Colour. I love the song.

So I'm not the biggest fan of the guy I'm about to mention, but Rock N Roll has always thrived on being evil. Its always been the music your parents hated, so who did moms fear most? And who was the one who struck irrational fear in the heart of millions?Mr. Marilyn Manson.

Say what you want about the man, he made many believe he was the anti-Christ himself, and I assure anyone who is still afraid of him he is a mere mortal. This is a HUGE part of rock and roll history because as of now, he is the most successful antagonist that rock n roll has ever seen. Ozzy was made into a blithering idiot by MTV and its his fault for letting them do it.

Alice shoots golf with the mayor, and its not scary at all. Even though Marilyn is out of the public eye, his legacy isn't tainted like the acts that came before. He certainly isn't the most anti-religious recording artist, hes not the weirdest, hes not even the scariest.

I could go on and on about who really has scary music, but somehow marilyn made way more of a bang than any other rock n roller has, no matter how hard they tried. Type in any artist with the word protest after it on youtube and you will never find more videos than Marilyn has.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
