Sting will be inducted in RRHOF.They are running out of quality acts to induct. He has so much respect from the other musicians in the music industry. I liked his early solo work which will probably propel him over the top.He's still recording & writing in 2014 when others have retired.

Has done collaborations with Rod Stewart,Bryan Adams & greats in the industry.He's like Bono of U2 in that he commands so much respect from the other musicians & music fans.Will be inducted soon. KING

Roy's annual excercise in stereotyping.

Honestly, I was surprised Sting was not inducted. He was one of the biggest names on the ballot and respected musician. Sting's one of those greatest living artists types like Bob Dylan, Bono, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Bono, Jimmy Page who have lived a long life and earned that respect and 1 name recognition. Credit the RRHOF Committee for examining the nominees work and selecting other artists. Sting could be a good bet to return to the ballot in 2015-2016 as some of the singer/songwriters have been inducted. Don't know my FAV Sting solo song. Might be Free Free Set Them Free or Love Is The Seventh Wave. KING

Absolutely should be in as a solo. While very different from The Police, his solo career is just as amazing. Actually wish he would stop reworking old hits and start on new ones, although the Sting / Shaggy album had some moments.

I saw Sting back in late 80s on his 'Blue Turtle' tour. They/he played at Memorial Colosseum in Lexington, KY.

Was a nice show, though everyone there was hoping he would play some Police material. can't remember if he did. I think not, though.

I don't think he should be in solo. Not enough meat there.

Induct based on success, not on quality

I do agree that Sting should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. Following his departure from The Police, he was already established himself as one of most successful solo act from the mid 80s up to now. Many other artists are already inducted twice as a member of the group and as a solo artist. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should open their doors to Sting, even though he is already inducted as a member of The Police in 2003.
This is my closing argument.

Sting is most definitely a Rock n Roll Hall of Famer. Many great hits and 7 albums that are brilliant. He can play many instruments and has the voice that any body can spot as Sting. He can also play rock, jazz, reggae, instrumentals, country, and others…
His work the Police was phenomenal

I think Sting definitely warrants induction as a solo artist. He could have continued to stay with the Police but he chose the more creative path of going solo which is the sign of an independent thinking, creative minded individual. He has several excellent records as a solo artist. He has also collaborated
with many different musicians. His first two solo records, the Blue Turtles and Nothing Like the Sun are two of the best rock albums of the 1980s

It is still a little shocking that Sting lose to Paul Butterfield Blues Band in 2015 nomination.

Maybe the Elevator Music Hall of Fame. Police were the best though.
