Welcome to the Rock Hall subreddit! Here, you can listen and discuss music and music news regarding artists officially inducted in the Hall, or those who have long been snubbed from inclusion. Please keep all discussion civil and within the parameters of Reddit TOS. Thanks for visiting!
UPDATE: I'll be ranking the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees by tiers, for this I'll be giving the artists who were inducted as performers a tier letter based on influence, innovation, impact & originality.
