21 comments so far (post your own)I can see inducting Coverdale as a member of Deep Purple, who we can all agree are LONG, LONG overdue. He's a great singer who made his mark. Truth be told, Coverdale/Page in 1993 was a far superior album to anything Whitesnake ever did, and is Coverdale's best case for greatness, but Whitesnake had their moments. 'Still of the Night' is an immortal hard rock song. Never will be inducted, of course, nor should they be. Steve Vai, who played all the guitar parts on their 1989 record, might be considered as a solo artist, but that's a long-shot. Posted by Sunking278 on Wednesday, 04/24/2013 @ 06:18am |

Whilst I listen to their music like it's a drug, no. Posted by Nicky Joe on Wednesday, 11/2/2016 @ 18:35pm |
Also add Rudy Sarzo to the Ozzy Osbourne induction pool in 2029. Posted by Nicky Joe on Sunday, 12/4/2016 @ 13:49pm |
Since Whitesnake had never been impactful and didn’t made enough influences, there is no need to give David Colverdale another induction. Posted by The Dude on Thursday, 07/26/2018 @ 12:44pm |
This band is absolutely terrible. If they ever get in, i lose my hope in the Rock Hall. Posted by Michael on Tuesday, 10/30/2018 @ 16:19pm |
David Colverdale is in the Hall with Deep Purple. He doesn’t need a second induction for his band. Posted by The Dude on Tuesday, 10/30/2018 @ 16:40pm |

Early Whitesnake was incredible. Paice/Powell on drums, Lord on keyboard, Moody and Marsden on guitar and Murray on base. What a lineup! I had the pleasure of seeing Whitesnake at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto with Steve Vai. Fantastic live band and David Coverdale sounded fantastic! Great memories!

Whitesnake only had three hits. Their hits were "Here I Go Again", "Is This Love?", and "Still Of The Night." The videos for all those songs featured Tawny Kitaen. She was married to David Coverdale. Posted by Brian Schonour on Tuesday, 07/5/2022 @ 21:47pm |

Rest in Peace Bernie Marsden, 1951-2023. Posted by Joe S. on Friday, 08/25/2023 @ 15:10pm |
Whitesnake is a great band and much more than their 1987 big hit album. They are still so well known and popular because have a ton of great blues-hard rock songs, from love ballads to heavy rock hitters - which will outlive and gain more recognition with thime than of other 80s bands. Lyrics everyone can identify with and incredible vocals of Coverdale and band's musicianship. They are underrated and certainly deserve one day to be in the hall.

Here's the thing when it comes to me and this debate. I don't look at it the same way as most but hear me out. Were you successful? Whitesnake was, Were you one of the main contributors to the rise of Pop Metal in the 80s? Are you well-known within a popular genre? Whitesnake were both those things, Did they sell over 50 million albums worldwide? Whitesnake definitely did, Have they sold over 3-6 million tickets? probably right? so I think when you look at those things and I think when you look at some of the members of Whitesnake such as David Coverdale for example he's a hall of fame singer because of his career overall right? with Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Jimmy Page, and others he's a hall of famer so Whitesnake has a hall of fame member at least one If not two with one of the guitarists I think but anyways at least they have David Coverdale like I said should be a Hall of Fame singer not to mention Whitesnakes hits such as: Here We Go Again, Is This Love, Still of the Night, Fool For Your Loving, and Deeper the Love so it's not like they were just a one hit wonder and they were almost as big and as popular as Iron Maiden and Def Leppard just not quite but guys If Judas Priest, Anthrax, and Megadeth are Hall of Famers which Anthrax, Megadeth should get in at some point then Whitesnake are without a doubt Hall of Famers because Whitesnake is more popular then all of those bands I just listed yes even more poplar then Judas Priest and Megadeth you'll. I also love Whitesnake so I hope they get but I hope you guys get my argument. They are clearly a first ballad Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band I don't know what these people are talking about wen they say Whitesnake don't belong in the Hall of Fame bro they were literally one of the biggest bands of the entire 1980s like they were a part of that great run of Pop Metal and 80s Metal like what are people talking about and I had the stats to prove them as well. Yeah I don't think it's a debate I think they deserve it If anybody has a counter argument to this, bring it on but you probably lost by the time you read this whole thing. Whitesnake thank you for what you've done for Rock and Heavy Metal music you guys are all-time greats and I hope you get in. Alright I'm out. Posted by Justice on Monday, 01/22/2024 @ 13:33pm |
Whitesnake is definitely one of the greatest bands of all time. Their music just gets better with age. So many hits: Slide it in, Slow n' easy, Love ain't no stranger, Still of the night, Is this love, Crying in the rain, to name a few and of course one of the greatest songs every created called Here I go again. Then came the Slip of the Tongue album, one of my best friends thought it was their best with Fool for your loving, and now you're gone. Thank you for everything to the members of the band new and old and God bless. Rock and glam metal music is what I want to listen to everyday for the rest of my life.
