Of course!
But it's the same case with Siouxsie & The Banshees, Joy Division, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, The Cure...

Peter Cetera is a Bauhaus fan. Peter Cetera wore a Bauhaus shirt in the music video for You're the Inspiration.

Sorry, all. Bauhaus should be in. I wouldn't even consider them Goth, even though unfortunately they have been given that stigmata. :)

Over the yrs. You can here their influence in so many other bands.

They were/are groundbreaking IMO.

I consider them more Glam punk.

Now that The Cure and Roxy Music (I know more proto punk and glam and art rock) got in I think that opens the floodgate for 70s and 80s alternative (especially from the UK).

Bauhaus should be considered for nomination/induction, their influence is pretty big just like Joy Division/New Order, The Cure, Depeche Mode & others!

on one hand, Depeche Mode the cure and NIN inductions recently makes their chances definitely higher, but those are platinum selling bands while bauhaus lie in relative obscurity on the same level as television the New York dolls and MC5. with SATB and ESPECIALLY JDNO still out, bauhaus aren't getting in till they do. I would absolutely love to see them inducted tho

Yes, Bauhaus should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In recent years bands like The Cure, Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails have been inducted, all of which wouldn't be what they are without the genius and groundbreaking sound of Bauhaus.

Crappy band famous for a Bowie cover. Never sold any records. Touted by "look at me, my tastes lie outside the mainstream!" f**ktards and self-fellating journos like the intolerable Simon Reynolds.

Everyone in that whole "post punk" bracket is massively overrated. Same with "Britpop" 15-20 years later.
