Loverboy RRHOF I would say NO. That no knock on Loverboy It's that the bar to reach Hall of Fame is a difficult one. Think about it...Chicago has sold over 100 million units and there not in. Judas Priest leaders of metal aren't in yet. No Duran Duran one of 80's legendary bands. Several others awaiting induction. KING

I hope the irony is not lost on all these so called professional music journalists. Hip-hop artists, most of which sampled the hell out of songs written a decade or more before their time, get in no problem. Unfortunately, the original artists of the "borrowed" songs like Duran Duran get snubbed. Please explain that to me. Anyone.

Okay you guys who bash Loverboy. Guess whose in it? The Go Go's. What do you have to say to that. Over Loverboy are you kidding me?

Had some decent songs, but they were far too generic to be even considered.

Forienger should be in way before Loverboy.

Steve,

I can guarantee you that by next year, they won't even be nominated let alone inducted.

Seems like all my favorite 80's bands are getting passed over by the Rock Hall. So many hit songs including Working for the Weekend, Turn Me Loose, Lovin' Every Minute of It, When it's over, The Kid is hot tonite, Hot girls in love, This could be the night, Lucky ones, Notorious, then two classics on soundtracks, Heaven in your eyes in Top Gun, and Almost Paradise in Footloose.

Loverboy and Foreigner should have been a long time ago. Atleast 10 yrs. Green Day Sucks, Red Hot Chili Peppers were great. I'd Rather Listen to the Two Above! I'm Tired of weak Idiots Telling Mr What's Good!!!
