The Pixies are another band we should probably be questioning why they're not in the HOF yet. They weren't mainstream for the most part, but they still had heavy influence on Grunge and the rock genre in general.
They are, they were inducted in 2023. That was the point of my comment, someone mentioned that Rainbow never had a platinum album so I tried to figure out who the lowest-selling artists were that are in.
The Pixies are not in yet. One of the main guys from the HOF was interviewed in Dec before the latest nominees were announced and he was asked about the Pixies.
"The Pixies.
Yes, the Pixies have been discussed. There’s been a group of nominees who’ve been passionate about the Pixies. The same thing with Warren Zevon, who actually did get on the ballot one year. I’m passionate about Warren, and he’ll get in, too. But the Pixies have had a lot of support."

Well, shoot, I need to be more careful about listening to Google AI in the future. Thanks!
This reminded me that the MC5 are in. That must take the cake for the artist in there that has sold the least records. Ace Frehley solo prolly HAS sold more than them!
They are in for "musical excellence", just like Judas Priest. I wish the interviewer had asked him "What do the musical excellence category mean these days? Is it just a way to induct bands at a lower level?"

This one made me actually laugh out loud!!
"And I’d love to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist, not with Kiss. I’m the most successful solo artist of the four original members and I’d like to be acknowledged as that.”
I also was amused that the article praised "Cherry Medicine" which might be the worst song I've ever heard by him, I laughed at that, but not out loud.
Other gems:
• I just got a beautiful casino date at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, where I'm headlining a 9,000-seat arena.”
• “God has given me so many talents; I almost feel guilty that I don’t use them. I’m looking forward to doing more while I still have time left.”
• “I can still play the solo for Shock Me note for note; I can still play the solo for Deuce note for note.
• The last guy I knocked out was actually a Hell’s Angel – but that was like 20 years ago!”
It ´s also funny/sad he sees himself as a funny guy.
Sure, it’s analogous to you always being the biggest clown on this board.
Ace is obviously a mess musically these days, but back in the ‘70s like Eddie Kramer said, Ace’s guitar was the sound of Kiss.
I post Ace sucks and you come running.
Like clockwork.
KISS's sound was Paul's voice, his songs, and his rhythm guitar parts and tone. Next would be Gene's voice and his songs. Then Ace. A 20 second guitar solo doesn't make the song.
Right-o. Perhaps you should look up the meaning of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. And Dumbass, look that one up too.
I did look both terms up.

"Musical excellence" is simply throwing a band a bone.
Halford was not happy with Priest being inducted in that category.

He hasn’t played the solo to Shock Me or Deuce note for note for years. Certainly not even once on the last few tours.
