Now that KISS and a few other deserving bands (I personally like the fact Cat Stevens got in) finally have been admitted to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, I have compiled a list of other bands that should be in. Feel free to add or disagree with my list. I tried to include a few that would be easy to overlook, but are pioneers.

Cheap Trick
Thin Lizzy
Deep Purple
Journey
J. Geils Band
Jethro Tull
Huey Lewis And The News
The Guess Who
Bachman-Turner Overdrive
Grand Funk Railroad
Blue Oyster Cult
Gordon Lightfoot

Golden Earring
Glen Campbell
Gary Moore
Foreigner
Styx
REO Speedwagon
Kansas
Duran Duran
The Doobie Brothers
Ronnie James Dio
Charlie Daniels Band
The Cars
Supertramp
Blue Oyster Cult is a good one and so is Uriah Heep. Ronnie James Dio has always been a source of frustration for me as a fan. That guy was in several great bands and put out a ton of classic albums, yet outside of hard rock circles few people know who he is.
I like Gary Moore a lot and think he is criminally underrated but to me he falls in that borderline status. I like J.Geils a lot too, but I am not quite certain on that one either. I agree on Duran Duran. It is easy to dismiss them as 80's fluff, but they were influential and have a ton of catchy tunes and you are going to have to put some true 80's bands in.
Yep.
The two I immediately thought of have already been mentioned...UFO and Uriah Heep. And Ted Nugent definitely belongs, and has been mentioned. For me personally, Tesla belongs.
Of these, I think it's about time these bands were in:
Jethro Tull
Deep Purple
Cheap Trick
Thin Lizzy
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Do you realize that all of these bands have two word names? I say we switch up the names and see what sounds best:
Deep Maiden
Jethro Priest
Judas Trick
Cheap Lizzy
Megadeth
Anthrax--if Public Enemy is in, why not Anthrax?
I agree 100 percent on Purple, Lizzy, Priest, and Maiden.
BECAUSE I've felt for many, many years, that the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame is not REALLY a real, true RNR HOF, I honestly don't even know what all artists are in. I'm assuming Black Sabbath and Van Halen have been inducted? I would hope so. And oh yes, RJSpacehog's nomination of DIO is right on, too!
