Deserves hall of fame by starting and handling new genre.

Look, I understand the fact that bands like Iron Maiden, Motorhead, King Diamond, Whitesnake, Megadeth, Motley Crue, Slayer, Dio, Anthrax, and many others are not in yet and so you might say well bands like that need to be inducted first (other than Kind Diamond I will admit I through him in there hardly anybody else does), but here's my thing when it comes to Helloween and when I make this argument I'm not going to bash Anthrax but I want to use them to make a point. Anthrax top song Madhouse has almost 60 million listens which is solid and have been widely regarded as an all-time great band also being a part of the big 4 they are Hall of Famers I think we agree on that. If that's the case than that means Helloween definitely should get in because not only does Helloween blow Anthrax out of the water in streams but they have sold as many records as Anthrax and I would assume Helloween have sold more tickets as well touring the world I believe more. Helloween also are the fathers of their genre Power Metal, Anthrax at best is the 4th best Thrash Metal band ever and although I like them more than Slayer I don't think the stats can put Anthrax over Slayer so at best Anthrax is the 4th best band with their genre Thrash Metal by the way in which Metallica invented so Helloween invented Power Metal and have been widely regarded as the best of their genre maybe outside of bands like Dragonforce but I do believe Helloween is better than them overall I think their legacy is stronger. Helloween are an incredible band live as well and so there you go guys I think they are underrated they deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. At least they made it to the Heavy Metal Hall of Fame.

Oh I also forgot to mention this. Their Keeper of the Seven Keys Albums Part 1 and 2 are one of the top selling albums in Germany's entire history and If you know anything about Germany and their music history it's pretty prestigious and so for Helloween's Keeper albums to be ranked as one of the best in their history says something about their greatness the Keeper albums are 2 all-time great albums that's the final reason why I think they are Rock and Roll Hall of Famers and Helloween fans would agree, by the way I love Helloween myself I have them ranked pretty high on my all-time list for metal bands.

Justice, if Iron Maiden can't get in, I don't see how in the Hell Helloween is ever going to get in. Maybe in 2198 or so.

They probably won't get in Paul in KY but that's what I'm saying is that they should and I had stats to prove why they should be considered If not outright inducted. Did you see what I had to say about the bands that aren't in yet and should be I addressed that and you're right If they don't get in how can Helloween get in right? I get that but I'm saying The Rock Hall is getting it wrong here and I'm wondering based on the stats and arguments (that I typed up her) that Helloween should get in?
