Poll: Which Artist Would You Most Like to See Inducted Into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
The list of 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees includes Guns N' Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Small Faces (and Faces), Donovan, Beastie Boys, Freddie King, Glyn Johns, Tom Dowd -- and a few other lucky artists and producers.
That's awesome for them, of course -- but who else seriously deserves to be inducted into the Hall?
We've complied a list of 10 venerable artists and/or bands who are still on the outside looking in.
Take the poll below and let your voice be heard: Which artist would you most like to see inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
Thanks for voting! The results will be published in a future issue of Guitar World magazine.

Five finger death punch! they manage to borrow and recycle every riff AND chorus while crying about how hard being famous (and on the road and divorced and never enough) is and still being hailed as original tough guy music.
seriously, though, every metal band from bullet for my valentine to in flames has copped Iron Maiden's style and to this day Maiden is still rocking

Both prog and metal are looked upon as red-headed stepchildren by the gatekeepers of the RRHoF. So far the only prog bands inducted are Pink Floyd and Genesis (and Genesis more for their later commercial crap than for songs like "Cinema Show") and the only metal acts are Black Sabbath and Metallica.
All of the acts listed above belong in the RRHoF as far as I'm concerned.

How the hell are the Beastie Boys and Red Hot Chili Peppers being inducted but Boston, Rush, STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN, and Deep Purple haven't??
