Greg, while I agree with you that Poison should be in the Hall as they're a great band, we need to be aware that this website has no say in who gets in and who dosen't. It's still down to these rich musical snobs who gets in. Posted by Andrew on Tuesday, 06/4/2013 @ 14:39pm |

Poison won't make the RRHOF but they were better than given credit for. Every Rose Has It's Thorn one of the best power ballads of its day. Always enjoyed Brett Michaels singing voice. Poison realized rock n roll should be fun & their songs were catchy. Posted by KING on Thursday, 02/20/2014 @ 14:28pm |
John Lennon, their lead singer, is already in the hall of fame. Posted by Tommy on Sunday, 01/18/2015 @ 17:04pm |
Poison should be revisited for being inducted into the Rock& Roll Hall of Fame. They are one of the few acts that still tours. And front man Bret Michaels continues to tour as a solo act and with Poison and doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. Posted by Carly on Saturday, 01/24/2015 @ 11:20am |
I would love to see them inducted! Unfortunately the HOF is biased against 80s bands. Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Poison... and yet Madonna, Run-DMC, and Public Enemy are in even when they're obviously not even rock? And why aren't Journey, REO Speedwagon, Styx, Foreigner, Deep Purple, Boston, The Cars, Cheap Trick, and George Thorogood and The Destroyers in yet?

No, never. Poison sucks because they chose to suck. They were just like every other glam/hair metal band from LA during the 80s. Didn't make any impact at all and never influenced anyone--which is what the Rock H0F is all about. Posted by Ken S on Sunday, 07/1/2018 @ 20:07pm |

As a 46 year old rocker that remembers the first rock song i ever heard/as a drummer of 24 years/as a guitar player of 14 years/and most importantly as a rock music fan that has over 1300 albums (not counting) the music I've heard over the past 40 years I can honestly say this and know it's more factual than just my opinion: Posted by Æ N I Ǝ M A on Saturday, 07/4/2020 @ 15:19pm |
Hell no. God awful band. Thank goodness they'll probably never get in. Posted by JDL on Sunday, 08/8/2021 @ 17:31pm |
Poison were known for their big hair than they were for their music. They only had a few hits with their biggest hit being "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." Bret Michaels is more known for a reality show Rock Of Love or whatever it was. So Poison or Bret Michaels as a solo artist might not get nominated or inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

Pearl Jam/Green Day/Nirvana were all mediocre alternative bands. I'd rather listen to Poison, damn Yankees, Slaughter, Skid Row, Great White, Winger, Warrant, Firehouse, Dream Theater, Motley Crue, Whitesnake and any other glam rock. That was the music me and my friends rocked out and partied to and danced to for years. Then Grunge ruined it all, so depressing. . Poison rocked. Look what the cat dragged in and Open up and say ahh are two of my favorite all time albums. Posted by Brian on Saturday, 02/18/2023 @ 15:36pm |
The members of Poison can all play well, and have all contributed great lyrics. The people who have digs at them dont appreciate the fun factor of this band. They wouldnt still be touring if they were as bad as some say. Seriously underestimated musicians who are well overdue RRHOF status. Posted by Clare Marie Grose on Sunday, 10/1/2023 @ 11:01am |
