The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame—Stars Who Were Snubbed, and Stars Who Snubbed Back
We weren't surprised when Axl Rose announced he would skip Guns N' Roses' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. It did get us thinking, however. Many artists have snubbed the Hall over the years, including Sir Paul McCartney. But many musical mainstays have been themselves snubbed by the Hall's committee of "rock experts." While not a major issue like world peace, this topic does inspire passionate debate; check out the comments on FutureRockLegends.com. We picked some folks who told the Hall to go jump in the lake, along with artists we feel deserve to be recognized by the esteemed Cleveland museum. By Brett Singer

Boston Rockin’ Out in New York, 1977
Nirvana’s breakthrough hit “Smells Like Teen Spirit” has been compared to Boston’s classic “More Than a Feeling“; Nirvana shows that they agree in this clip. Beyond Boston’s influence on Kurt Cobain’s songwriting, they are a big-time ’70s rock ‘n’ roll band that has remained a radio staple since their self-titled debut album was released in 1976. How popular is that record? Certified 17 times multiplatinum. And they’re not in the Hall of Fame why?
