Bullshit. The Hall is not "rockist." They have repeatedly rejected blues rock, punk rock, arena rock, progressive rock and metal and heavy metal/extreme metal. They have never inducted...
Deep Purple
Nine Inch Nails
Black Flag
Bad Company
Napalm Death
The Cars
Judas Priest
Death
Dead Kennedys
Cheap Trick
KISS
Bad Religion
Pantera
Scorpions
REO Speedwagon
Any 80s thrash band not named Metallica (Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth being GLARING exceptions)
Jethro Tull
Motorhead
Iron Maiden
Thin Lizzy
Dire Straits
MC5
King Crimson
The Fall
The Pixies
Dio
Steve Miller Band
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Bon Jovi
Blue Oyster Cult
Chicago

I could rattle off another 30. Half the bands in the rock and roll hall of fame are not even close to being rock acts.

Wow...emo? Ian Mackay would laugh his arse off if he heard that. I challenge you to name one single song that deals with anything close to Emo...
This is the remnants of Minor Threat and the Teen Idles for shit's sake. Totally disrespectful "In My Eyes" (if you don't get that pun, you dont know what your talking about, and should hold any pseudo-intellectual statements or replies to yourself)
I know people feel the urge to pigeonhole and label all music they hear, but Fugazi was in their own class. They invented a new type of music and left it at that. Just because someone was in a "previous band" does NOT mean that's what they carried over to aanother band (Hootie for example haha!). Just let them be Fugazi, one of the great bands of all time who never had to sell out, be labeled, and who fought the industry (remember Ian buying all their albums in that record shop when they priced them over $7?). Nobody will ever be like them again, so let's show real respect by letting them be what they were....perfect

Anyone who doesn't know punk inside and out can't say that Fugazi didn't have a tremendous influence on the underground punk movement in the 80's is completely ignorant of the genre. Ian Mackye who formed The Teen Idols as well as Fugazi changed the whole scene paving the way for the grunge movement. Without Fugazi there would have been no Sonic Youth, no Circle Jerks, and the biggie No Nirvana. That whole genre rested on the shoulders of the underground punk movement in the 80's that built up and finally exploded and killed the Horror of Hair Bands that dominated so furiously and wreaked havoc on music. I am thankful for Fugazi for leading the way for the music that finally ended the era of the worst music since Disco. Because of Fugazi I no longer had to hear crap like Poison, Warrant, Motley Crue and the rest of the garbage. They were crushed and forgotten. It was a happy and victorious time for people like me who wanted music back. Induct Fugazi. FUGAZI FOREVER! !

Fugazi is brilliant the notions that they used to display their morals and ideals were revoloutionary. 13 Songs is one of the best compilation albums I have ever had the fortunate opportunity to listen to. Ian Mckaye is also quite an intelligent fellow with many assets that put him and his bad well above their contemporaries. Despite that being said they will most likely not be present for not as many casual music fans have heard of them. The rock hall panders too much in my opinion.
