This is a band I don't see how the Hall couldn't induct them, their mixture of post-punk and heavy metal helped lead the ways to industrial rock and metal as well as alternative metal with a killer debut record and other great songs on their albums. It's hard to imagine how these guys weren't an influence on hard-rocking alternative bands like Soundgarden, Faith no More, Nine Inch Nails, Helmet and Tool.

So when it comes to living legends you don't get more essential than Killing Joke. They are the embodiment of modern rock. If you really wanna know how great they are check out their full set from Bloodstock 2022. Holy crap!!! Follow that. When most of their peers were calling it a day and fading into dust they were just getting started. They have been prophets of the bullcrap that is currently going on from day 1. They wear their politics on their sleeve and musically they are more abrasive now and downright frightening heavy and evil then they were in 1979. They don't water down they just get heavier.

RIP Geordie Walker

With the passing of Geordie, the gathering is getting small. There is no meaningful hall of fame without KJ. They are-were the warriors that blazed trails for the rest, some of whom are already in or will be. Bands like KJ need their own hallowed halls, not to be diminished by those who simply pretend. Long live KJ.
