19 comments so far (post your own)Randy Newman is getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but Dio continues to be snubbed. Just... wow. Epic troll, R&RHoF guys. Posted by Derp on Tuesday, 04/9/2013 @ 10:33am |
It's never going to happen, and that is a grevious sin. Dio is one of the two greatest heavy metal frontmen ever, along with Halford. Real influence among real people extends far wider than most of the artists in the Hall. Posted by Sunking278 on Wednesday, 04/24/2013 @ 06:57am |

The RRHOF has dragged its feet on Dio's nomination & induction. Now the great Ronnie James Dio has died from his cancer. A real shame. What a powerful vocalist. Loved when he sang We Rock & The Last In Line. Posted by KING on Friday, 02/14/2014 @ 18:43pm |
One day in the year of the fox Dio with be nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Posted by don on Saturday, 10/21/2017 @ 20:42pm |
Let's face it Jann Wenner and the other HoF higherarchy have a hard on against Metal and even hard rock. It only took DEEP PURPLE 30 years to get in, and that after lesser bands like RHCP (no offense meant to Pepper fans). Judus Priest, Motley Crue. Gonna be a long wait for Dio and Ronnie James.

RJD will get in after Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and maybe for the second time, Ozzy Osbourne (You know you want Randy in the HOF). Posted by The Dude on Sunday, 07/15/2018 @ 19:36pm |
I think it mind boggling that this man hasn't been inducted he , he is the founder of the horns, he was the back frame to all the metal we know and grew up on he was driving force in the community and helped sculpt the foundations for an entire genre !!! For christ sake he saved black sabbath and blew up big with rainbow, this man was beyond anything that they are putting in now ! He was a voice for those who where outcasted and mistreated by society and he was parental figure to millions of people the man needs some sort of recognition!!

It's a crime that Ronnie wasn't included with Sabbath. So induct him with Dio and Rainbow, damn it! Posted by JDL on Sunday, 08/8/2021 @ 17:41pm |
I can't believe Ronnie James Dio is not in the Rock and roll Posted by Thomas Noonan on Wednesday, 11/3/2021 @ 05:12am |
I cannot believe Ronnie James Dio is not in the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame what you'll find the names like GG flavor Flav in among other rap stars in the ROCK N ROLL Hall of Fame, It should be called rock 'n' roll hall of shame Posted by Thomas Noonan on Wednesday, 11/3/2021 @ 05:16am |
It's better to die, than to fade away. Posted by Diamond Dave on Thursday, 12/1/2022 @ 21:00pm |
Not having Dio inducted with Sabbath was the current move!! Sabbath is from the industrial town of Birmingham. It's only Ozzy Iommi Ward Butler. Iommi didn't want to continue as sabbath but had to due to record contract. With Dio, finally correctly named Heaven and Hell. Posted by K cheng on Monday, 01/16/2023 @ 18:57pm |
WTF- Dolly Parton/ Willy Nelson and I love these guys and what they have done , but come on Ronnie is the greatest voice in ROCK AND ROLL Posted by Steven Duch on Thursday, 02/2/2023 @ 08:41am |
I'm leaning yes, but RJD should also have been inducted as a member of Black Sabbath. Posted by Jeremy Banana on Sunday, 02/5/2023 @ 22:31pm |
It's tragic and shame full that the legendary singer Ronnie James Dio is not in the Rock and roll hall of fame and some artists who are in and shouldn't be RIP Ronnie James Dio your fans miss your incredible Voice Posted by Jorge pena on Wednesday, 07/5/2023 @ 13:10pm |
Dio is too good for that trash outfit. As was said there inducting new pop shit. Dio is way above the trash out today. And Iron Maiden I'm sure if Ronnie were alive today (RIP) would think a travesty they arnt either. Both have voices no one can or will compare to. Bias just like everything else today. It's no honor to be in that outfit. They need to change their name to Whomever kisses the judges___ or greases the pockets are the winners, clearly not based on merit. Maiden's used to it, no media play at all, no advertising. Still over 40 million sold. The fans know. Posted by Jeniffer Jones on Monday, 10/16/2023 @ 01:38am |
His chance is very slim as of now. Posted by power on Monday, 10/16/2023 @ 02:10am |
Dio should be in, as should Maiden. Likely won't happen with the sham the rarhof is. If they changed the name to the pop music hall of Fame it would be more appropriate, because the artists being honored are not rock musicians. As far as country artists like Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, etc. great musicians, not rock musicians. Someone else should open a real Rock Hall of Fame and exclude rap, hip hop, country, etc. Posted by Doug on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:18pm |
