Glitter will be inducted the day hell freezes over.

The only glam rock acts that need to be inducted are:

T. Rex
New York Dolls
Roxy Music
Sparks
Slade
Mott the Hoople

Aside from the sordid details of his personal life, Gary Glitter is just not necessary for the Hall to accurately represent glam rock. He was a British pop sensation for a few years and then fell completely off the radar, with little lasting influence to speak of. He doesn't get inducted for the same reason the Bay City Rollers or Mud don't get inducted.

Rock And Roll part 2 should be an essential song.

He was snubbed as a member of Van Halen. He sang on Can Halen III.

The man is a sex offender. arrested jailed and convicted

So you can not use the Jackson propaganda that not guilty mean innocent

When was ever a member of Van Halen?

Nope, not gonna happen. Less pedophiles in the Rock Hall is a good thing.

lets be honest, yes he is a nonce you cannot deny that. he did fiddle kids just as much as he fiddled his guitar but personally i do not think that these moral constraints should deny him of his value to be entered into the hall of fame. lennons in here and he used to beat his wife whilst george wept in the corner with his leccy guitar. glitter pleasured us with his music as he did himself with the kids on his laptop yet we should acknowledge that he gave us the music he created and put him into the hall of fame

I can't see him getting in because he has had a major Influence on many artists... but not while he is alive. The hall (like many) are going to be spiteful because of his crimes and not let him be awarded for his music and Influence until he is laying 6ft underground.

It's highly unlikely for Glitter to ever be inducted into the HOF and do you seriously believe that the nomination committee would induct a convicted paedophile who happened to be a glam rock star back in the 1970s?
I doubt that he is left out of the Hall of Fame out of personal dislike of his music, but it's likely because a) he was pretty much a one-hit wonder in the USA and b) he is a convicted sex offender.
Again, there is a debate of separating the music from its creator if they happen to be a convicted murderer or sex offender - e.g. is it okay to still listen to Gary Glitter, regardless of his crimes, or Phil Spector's music, despite that he murdered Lana Clarkson?

Putting aside the fact that he's a convicted kid-p*rk3r, it shouldn't be OK to listen to Gary Sh!tter's 'music' because it SUCKS!*


*Same goes for Nickelback, BTW
