| About Dave Edmunds, Bruce Walther wrote: | |
| Nobody seems to remember The Saber Dance (instrumental) recorded when Dave Edmunds was the front man lead guitarist for Love Sculpture. The band only made 2 albums in the late 1960's but it could be the best guitar work of Edmunds' career. | |

| About Dream Theater, Justice Jaymes Atchley wrote: | |
| Oh yeah let me say one other thing. Clear objectively great songwriting and talent should be apart of the discussion as well when it comes to If Dream Theater should get in. Ladies and Gentlemen Dream Theater are nothing short of being all of those things I mentioned, they are a good live band, they are good songwriters, they are insanely talented. I just wanted to say that because I think the Rock Hall does not pay attention to that enough. ROCK HALL, STOP HATING ON METAL BANDS! | |

| About Dream Theater, Justice Jaymes Atchley wrote: | |
| Okay so here is the thing when it comes to Dream Theater and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. First of all they have sold 12 millions records as of now when I write this, that is pretty good. They have probably sold millions of tickets, I would probably say around 2-3 million personally, but that is a guess at best. Listen I think that when it comes to the conversation of If someone should get into the Rock Hall, let's discuss some of that criteria. Did you make a positive impact in their genre? Does almost every generation(alive today), every culture and every time zone in some form love your music? is your fan base that diverse? I think when you ask these questions alone, Dream Theater are Hall of Famers, look they are arguably the best Prog Metal band ever. I mean maybe Queensryche will top them, but other than that Dream Theater is probably the top Prog Metal band I mean almost 80 million listens on their top song "Pull Me Under" with songs like "Panic Attack" and "Another Day" not too far behind with a good amount of listens as well. So for me Dream Theater should get in, they are one of the greatest Heavy Metal bands of all time and to me If you get a title like that you deserve to be Rock and Roll Hall of Famers not to mention the stats and points I made earlier, yes they should go in but they probably will never sniff the Rock Hall and that is a tragedy, the Rock Hall has to get their stuff together. All of these bands should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and they aren't, obviously including Dream Theater: Iron Maiden Dio Megadeth Anthrax Slayer Helloween UFO Bad Company Twisted Sister Poison Soundgarden REO Speedwagon Phil Collins Toto Tool Thin Lizzy Survivor Styx Stone Temple Pilots Sting Steppenwolf Billy Squier The Smashing Pumpkins Scorpions Rainbow Pantera Oasis Ted Nugent Motorhead Motley Crue The Monkees Meat Loaf Huey Lewis and the News Cyndi Lauper Korn Linkin Park King Crimson Kansas Jethro Tull Billy Idol Don Henley Sammy Hagar Emerson, Lake and Palmer Rick Derringer Boston Blue Oyster Cult Alice in Chains Bryan Adams Dream Theater Dragonforce | |

His record sales are unique over 360 million sales worldwide. He has had a amazing effect on most pepole with his music throughout the world and his craftmanship and calibre professionalism should in no despute award him with induction to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. | |

| About INXS, Jeremy Howard wrote: | |
| INXS - is a global band with fans around the world, their songs and albums are truly timeless, they are as relevant from 1980 to 2024. They have sold 50+ million albums, sold out arenas and had a front man that ranks in the top 5 for appeal. This and they were really talented Andrew''s song writing, Hutch's lyrics, the Farris bros keeping time and Pengilly's sax made for amazing songs that sounded as good on vinyl, CD and even better live. Put these guys in the Hall in 2025. | |

| About Primal Fear, Justice wrote: | |
| Look here is the thing, Primal Fear is a GREAT Metal band! they are and If you don't believe me, give them a listen. Especially If you are an old school melodic metal person. Look I understand there are no good arguments for why they should be hall of famers. All I can say is this, If more people knew who they were and gave them a listen, they would be hall of famers. I say that because there are a lot of bands who are great song writers, great performers and so almost everything right, but they just are never heard of. Outside of Theocracy or Grim Reaper or Tygers of Pan Tang, Primal Fear is probably the greatest Heavy Metal band that hardly anybody knows. Like I said though, listen to their songs, these guys are EXCELLENT musicians who have written so many great songs it isn't funny. They are such a great band and yet nobody knows them hardly, like I said If people actually knew them and listened to them, then they would be Hall of Famers as far as I'm concerned. Hey at least they have almost 30 songs with 1 million listens or more and their touring to support their legacy, whatever legacy means for a band hardly anyone knows about. So yeah I love Primal Fear I think they are easily one of the greatest Metal bands of all time but again no one knows them. Like I said If you guys don't believe me, I'm telling you, Primal Fear is a MUST LISTEN. I would start with their newer stuff just because that stuff is a little catchier, If you want their straight angry, raw, heavy stuff, listen to their first 5 albums particularly Jaws of Death, Nuclear Fire, and Black Sun. | |

He definitely needs to be in the hall of fame, what a smooth guy. | |
