For a short time in 1983, Quiet Riot were a rock and roll sensation as their album "Metal Health" was the first heavy metal album to top the charts. Despite their quick rise to the top, it came crashing down just as fast when frontman, Kevin DuBrow couldn't keep his mouth shut when it came to attacking the band's peers and he further alienated fans and in the face of falling record sales, he was thrown out of the group in 1985, just two after their best song "Come On, Feel the Nose" hit number one. While DuBrow refromed the group in the 1990s, they would forever be musical outcasts who only had a short time in the spotlight.

If they were to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I would pick Bert Michaels of Poison to induct them.

I'm probably going to get a lot of hate, but had Randy left Ozzy Osbourne, Ronnie James Dio would probably try to beg him to join Dio instead of Vivian Campbell. Even though Randy wanted to do classical music as teacher and solo artist, I would think he'd fit Ronnie's style of metal going back to Dio's days with Blackmore's Rainbow.
But in all seriousness, I don't think Randy has a chance of getting into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame with Quiet Riot (nor will the band, due to lack of influence), but if Ozzy gets in, Randy will be inducted as a side musician (or Lifetime Achievement Award, whatever you call it) since he has a better chance of being so.

Should be best remembered as a Slade cover band. So, no.

They’re more likely to be on the singles category rather than an actual induction.

I don’t think they should be in, but if they were to be inducted they’d have to let Slade in before them, the band that basically made their career.

One more: Rest in Peace Frankie Banali, 1951-2020. I suppose this finally puts Quiet Riot to rest, as it was floundering since the death of Kevin DuBrow.

As the key influencer and the innovator of glam, they deserve to be in, and at least give Randy Rhoads a lasting influence. And also, Daemon, pls just shut, we know you hate glam, but thats no reason they dont deserve in

I listened to a little bit of their music when I was in high school; even know I was not really a big Heavy Metal fan and much to the dismay of my "country music" listening parents, lol. Even know I was not a big Heavy Metal fan; I have to give Quiet Riot their due. They had a few good hits; but their style of music helped pave the way for Rock-N-Roll and they were "extremely instrumental" in the evolution of Rock-N-Roll as we know it, true icons of the 1970's & 1980's. I truly believe that Quiet Riot deserves their place in the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame and wish them all the luck. Thank you; Quiet Riot, for your contributions to Rock-N-Roll and for your music and your dedication to Rock music.

Quiet Riot was a one-hit wonder group. Their one hit was "Come On Feel The Noise." I learned that on a VH-1 show that was 100 songs by one-hit wonders.

Not quite, but not by much. Aside from COFTN (which was a #5 on the Billboard charts), they had one other single that charted--Bang Your Head, which made it to #31.
