Why I think the HoF has become a complete sellout and a joke - Metallica got in, but no Iron Maiden, no anthrax, no megadeth... etc. Let alone no Peter Gabriel.

Those who are going to argue PG's influence, have you played a 16-bit era game and heard the sounds/style of songs such as "I Have the Touch"? Also, keep in mind, that "Melt" was the first album to take on gated drums and showcase them, and that's just the tip of the ice burg. Don't even get me started on why Mr. Gabriel should be inducted, I'll go on for days/weeks/months/etc.

Bowie used the gated drums effect on Low, which came out 3 years before Melt

Peter Gabriel is the only nominee this year who is already an inductee. He gets to vote for himself. Who else do you think Peter Gabriel will vote for? Peter Gabriel's ballot:

01. Peter Gabriel
02. Yes
03. Deep Purple
04. Kiss or the Zombies
05. Cat Stevens or Linda Ronstadt

Peter Gabriel's first album is great, his second is quirky and uneven and not amongst my favorites. Peter Gabriel's third album is an absolute masterpiece, his fourth, "Security" is another magnificent album. "So" is another masterpiece. "Plays Live" is fantastic. "New Blood" is astonishing, his reworking of his greatest songs breathes new life into them. His concerts and videos are works of art. Does he deserve immediate induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame? I vote yes, absolutely!

Peter Gabriel on Rock Hall of Fame Induction: 'This Time I'll Go'
"If I play 'In Your Eyes,' it'll take 10 minutes and that might be all the time I have"

It's probably already been decided, but I think it would be great if Kate Bush inducted Peter Gabriel.

Why did Chris Martin feel the need to make fun of Phil Collins during his Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction speech for Peter Gabriel?

Bowie did not use gated drums first @GFW
