I would love to see Mercyful Fate inducted but in know the how the Rock Hall is and can be vary Political in it's decision making. The same gos for Venom, Bathery, Celtic Frost and others but, even though they created new rock and metal subgenres like black, death, doom and speed metal, as well as influenced other. The fact is the same for Slayer, there music for some reason was considered too dark for most. It would be a hell mary if Mayhem and Emperor got in for that matter. Even though Ted Nugent is over opinionated, he is still deserving yo be inducted but forget that. Maybe people will do something about it but for right now.

King Diamond and his band Mercyful Fate are very important in metal history and they makes a ton of classic metal albums. Although they do not have chance to be inducted in rock hall, I still cherish their music very much.
