30 plus years in the industry, loyal following, great music, had a lot of adversity, achieved a level of success that only few have enjoyed, this is HALL OF FAME MATERIAL. New Edition is the best R and B group ever and one of the original boy bands. Again 6 members of the group who all have been successful individually, classic records through the 80s 90s 2000s that still recieve air play on major radio stations. The day will come soon when people began to ask why and why not. This is America's first and only Supergroup. Find me a group that had six members who were successful before and after the group broke up and regained success when they joined forces again. Bobby Brown , Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill, Bell Biv Devoe. That is a lot of power in one group and together they are New Edition. Do the right thing and put them in, this is a no brainer. You mean to tell me that rap artist are better than New Edition who has been in the industry 30 plus years, i don't understand it. Again the only group in the U. S. to have 6 members have individual success , each selling 1 million plus records while not with group and coming back together to sell millions of records. That has never been done ever. New Edition greatest group ever.

New Edition most definitely should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They are the blueprint for the modern day boy band be it in pop, hip-hop or R&B. They were able to successfully merge R&B, hip-hop and rap by being one of the few R&B acts to be successful following the popularity of hip-hop and rap in the 1990s. They were also able to break off into separate successful acts and then come back together and still be successful as a group. No other boy band, including the Jacksons, can say that all of their solo acts were successful and influential. They are now being introduced to another generation, almost 35 years later and are as successful, relevant and influential as ever. Induct these legends!!!

New edition in my opinion is the best boy band group ever. When new edition started their careers no other boy bands of this type existed. They have so much talent in that one group bobby brown fantastic performer created bad boy image that so many copied rappers, Justin Bieber,Chris brown etc., One of the most dynamic stage performers, Ralph tresvant great falsetto voice and sung most of the leads, johnny gill has such a strong voice and great solo career, bel biv Devo three group members who had separate solo career then Micheal bivens became producer and successful manager for new edition who had been cheated out of money and produced boys to men and other talent. No other group has this talent!!!! Then came new kids on the block who had same choreographer and manager as new edition,back street boys, n sync who all were similar to new edition. New edition should be in rock n roll hall of Fame and Kennedy center honors representing boy bands from this generation. There are other great boy bands from other eras Jackson five, Beach boys, four seasons, temptations, four tops and Beatles were great but new edition paved the way for current generation boy bands and individual singers (ralph, bobby,johnny, bel biv review,).No boy bands groups have so much super talent in one group. As group great and as individuals.

When I was 11 yrs.old my whole world changed when I first heard New Edition. Their music as been in every part of my life. I'm 50 now and to still feel this way is life I'm 11 all over again. I can remember where I was or what I was doing when I heard a New Edition song. Not only that we where blessed to get BBD , Johnny Gill, Bobby Brown, & Ralph Tresvant yaaaaassssss!! All that talent!!

I'm starting to question the integrity of rock n roll hall of fame committee when new edition hasn't even been considered. There's a bias here and because of it i have lost respect for third committee

Simply put, 40 years in the business, each member enjoyed platinum success with and outside the group, consistently selling out tours, a catalog that second to none. They need to be inducted

New Edition should have been inducted! Over 40 years in the industry, still touring, selling out with a timeless catalog of hits that resonates with numerous generations INDUCT THEM!!!!

I've been a fan of New Edition from the first time I heard Candy Girl and in my opinion, they are one of the best R&B groups EVER! They not only sing, but their choreography is ALWAYS on point. They have been in the business for a very long time and because of their longevity alone, they should have BEEN inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They even deserve to be the main performers at the Superbowl, which would probably be the best Superbowl event Ever. Give these beautiful, talented souls their flowers while they're still here. I am most certainly proud of the ones who are no longer here, but are being inducted posthumously but that's just it, they are no longer here..... New Edition is still here, performing top notch. Do the right thing and give them this honor because it is long overdue!

It's a travesty and shame that The first Of the modern day Boy Bands has not been entered into the hall of fame. Makes no sense at all. They are more than deserving and have given so much to the industry. So called "Rock n Roll Hall of Fame" get this corrected! You'll soon be seen at illegitimate if the group is but inducted. Thank you.

Honestly, seriously if they were eligible in 09, they should have been in by 09. They put Run DMC, NWA & 2 Pac in before New Edition. All the best groups out there are less than New Edition and only The Beatles is a safer comparison. Their 88-92 run is legendary. You don't even have 90s RNB with out New Edition. Look at how the 80s started and ended. All those big 90s RNB acts didn't come from the 80s, only New Edition & Michael Jackson did. Rock N Roll fame is late.
