At Home He's a Tourist is one of the most addictive songs of all time but Entertainment as a whole is a masterpiece and thankfully is backed up by Solid Gold and Songs for the Free thanks to amazing lyricisms, ballsiness in subject matter and simplistic yet effective musicianship. In addition to Red Hot Chili Peppers (inducted in their third year of eligibility), you can also see how other bands that mix funk and punk in to their sound like Fugazi, Rage Against the Machine and R.E.M. (a day one shoehorning in mind you) so Gang of Four needs to be inducted as soon as possible.

RIP

Andy Gill, influential guitarist with Gang of Four, dies aged 64

"Gill's guitar sound inspired Kurt Cobain, Michael Stipe and Red Hot Chili Peppers, whose debut album he produced."
