17 comments so far (post your own)Loverboy RRHOF I would say NO. That no knock on Loverboy It's that the bar to reach Hall of Fame is a difficult one. Think about it...Chicago has sold over 100 million units and there not in. Judas Priest leaders of metal aren't in yet. No Duran Duran one of 80's legendary bands. Several others awaiting induction.

I hope the irony is not lost on all these so called professional music journalists. Hip-hop artists, most of which sampled the hell out of songs written a decade or more before their time, get in no problem. Unfortunately, the original artists of the "borrowed" songs like Duran Duran get snubbed. Please explain that to me. Anyone. Posted by LoverboyLover on Wednesday, 12/21/2016 @ 04:00am |
Okay you guys who bash Loverboy. Guess whose in it? The Go Go's. What do you have to say to that. Over Loverboy are you kidding me? Posted by Daytona on Thursday, 09/16/2021 @ 22:19pm |
Had some decent songs, but they were far too generic to be even considered. Posted by Henry on Tuesday, 02/22/2022 @ 17:55pm |
Forienger should be in way before Loverboy. Posted by Shane on Wednesday, 05/25/2022 @ 02:17am |

Seems like all my favorite 80's bands are getting passed over by the Rock Hall. So many hit songs including Working for the Weekend, Turn Me Loose, Lovin' Every Minute of It, When it's over, The Kid is hot tonite, Hot girls in love, This could be the night, Lucky ones, Notorious, then two classics on soundtracks, Heaven in your eyes in Top Gun, and Almost Paradise in Footloose.

Loverboy and Foreigner should have been a long time ago. Atleast 10 yrs. Green Day Sucks, Posted by Kenny on Monday, 12/25/2023 @ 18:39pm |
Loverboy and Foreigner should have been a long time ago. Atleast 10 yrs. Green Day Sucks, Red Hot Chili Peppers were great. I'd Rather Listen to the Two Above! I'm Tired of weak Idiots Telling Mr What's Good!!! Posted by Kenny on Monday, 12/25/2023 @ 18:42pm |
Theyre underrated with a cool mix of AOR and Power Pop. Theyre not getting in tho Posted by will m on Tuesday, 09/24/2024 @ 12:28pm |
Why isn't Thin Lizzy in the Rock n Roll hall of fame? Every damn classic rock stations around the USA plays their biggest hits. There are commercials ads that use their music. One of the first bands that featured twin lead guitars. Great song writing and an extensive discography. What the heck is wrong with the RNR Hall of Fame. Missy Elliot? C'mon! That's not rock. That's rap!!! Shame on you guys. Thin Lizzy is one of my favorite bands and you're doing them a great injustice. Posted by Mackey on Friday, 11/1/2024 @ 01:50am |
Folks say Loverboy and laugh. But look at who has already been let in. Then yes, Loverboy should be in because at least they were rock & roll. Peace out y'all Posted by Wesley Waters on Friday, 09/12/2025 @ 14:34pm |
Very unlikely to get in, but solid first four albums with some underplayed gems. Live Mike Reno still sounds great. Posted by Jim C. on Sunday, 10/26/2025 @ 22:00pm |
Loverboy? Styx? Boston? some of the all time Greatest Arena Rock bands. Not in? i call BS. something else is going on at the Rock Hall of Fame especially when you get Outkast..Salt N pepa? wtf. I will never visit that place. I cant believe it took this long to get BadCo in. geez.. Posted by Bob J. on Saturday, 12/13/2025 @ 18:10pm |
There is zero reason why Loverboy is NOT In the RRHOF I don't get it. There are other great bands still not in Posted by Mae on Friday, 01/2/2026 @ 00:27am |
