It is an absolute disgrace that they've been snubbed for over a decade. They should have gotten in at least 5 years ago.

Another band that is not easy to induct, but should get in. Black Flag was more than just one of the first hardcore punk bands, they're also one of the pioneers of post-hardcore genre for the experimental style they later played; they even experimented the sludge metal sound on My War, which made them of the building blocks of grunge and stoner rock/metal.

Black Flag also used elements of metal, blues, free jazz, spoken word, blues-rock, math rock, and intrumental music.

They deserve to be in and more widely known but since they did it without big label support they are seen as a threat.
