Yeah, this won’t happen, and not even in a million years. The Hall is way too PC to induct the late GG Allin whose live performances were way more notorious and over-the-top than Manson despite the fact he was a nonconformist like no other figure in music. Lyrically, his music heavily expressed themes of misogyny, pedophilia, blasphemy and racism, which not only polarized some of the people who are part of the mainstream audience, but also the strongly politicized punk community.

Although I know GG’s music was met to be ugly, dangerous, and offensive to everybody. But most of his material were poorly recorded and/or produced, given negative reviews from critics and limited distributions. I’m all for extreme acts getting inducted into the HOF, but I’m not expecting this.

GG Allin is the true rock and roll star. Doesn't care about anything. Poops onstage and starts fights with audience not necessarily in that order. ROHF is afraid of GG Allin even after the many years since he died. Allin's ghost haunts the rock and roll scene even to this day.

GG Allin is the true rock and roll star. Rapes people, is a nazi, makes terrible music. ROHF is afraid of GG Allin even after the many years since he died. Allin's ghost haunts the rock and roll scene in the minds of edgy 12 year olds even to this day.
