I don't appreciate you being rude to me. For what it's worth, if Maiden were inducted already and had Priest gone into the main category instead of musical excellence, I would've ranked Maiden #86 and Priest at #94.

  But you also rate Van Halen too low, which is absurd.

Eddie Van Halen greatly influenced many guitarists in that era. He popularized the tapping technique—I know he didn't invent it, but he made it famous. You can see his impact across genres, including heavy metal and hair metal. Without Eddie Van Halen, their sound would be drastically different. He also helped drive the popularity of heavy metal in America.

And you rate him below Peter Frampton? That's almost at the bottom. I don't understand how a band with one of the top ten greatest guitarists in history (often in the top five on many lists), known for their revolutionary impact, can be so undervalued by you.

Are you kidding me?

I would respectfully ask you not to question my taste in music. All of my tastes in music are eclectic. As I said before I like Deep Purple. I just don't think their influence on today's younger generation of metal is as big as Zeppelin, Sabbath, Maiden, Motörhead, Priest, Metallica.

I'm a fan of Ghost, Disturbed, System of a Down, In This Moment, Code Orange, August Burns Red, Spiritbox and they always, always, always cited Zeppelin, Sabbath, Maiden, Metallica as influences. Even Code Orange and Spiritbox cited non-metal acts like Kate Bush and Tori Amos as influences.

  Also, yes, women art pop has more enduring effect on popular music than heavy metal and hard rock.

There are almost no main hard rock/heavy acts in 10s. Whereas now we have a ton of women art pop and indie acts.

Heavy music heavily relies on guitar and now does not have power before where as women art pop indie acts can use electronic sounds to make more modern music

So it is somewhat incomparable.

No, actually, Deep Purple's influence is still huge on modern heavy acts, Slipknot, Dream Theater, Opeth, Children of Bodom, Black Label Society, Symphony X.

And Jack White and Flaming Lips are also influenced by Purple (they are not heavy acts)

It is possibly because you are not huge heavy music fan (I think you hear way more indie music than heavy music), so you do not know heavy music that well.

I guess I wasn't being specific when I said they're not as big of an influence as Zeppelin, Sabbath, Maiden, Motörhead, and Metallica because while Maiden, Motörhead, Metallica cite them as an influence, you rarely hear Deep Purple's name as an influence by modern day, younger generation of hard rock / metal acts.

For example, Laura Nyro influenced the likes of Joni Mitchell, Elton John, Rickie Lee Jones, Todd Rundgren, Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, but also modern day singer/songwriters like Feist, Regina Spektor, Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, Esperanza Spalding.

Yea as much as the internet loves king crimson the larger public and music press doesn't really know them, even in the UK when it comes to non itcotck and red. Like Fripp got more coverage for his antics with his wife doing cover songs than KC did for their recent tour.

Not everyone watches fantano or uses Rym. Even pitchfork doesn't seem to have a hard on for them.

They're respected and seen as influential but they're not a band people seem to go to bat for irl.

They got passed over for Genesis, rush, yes, peter Gabriel, yes, and Kate Bush. I suspect supertramp, ELP, or meat loaf is more likely than them to show up on a ballot

Sure but here's the thing

1 member just got in with Foreigner, in theory two members could get in with ELP (because they had a weird line up situation despite the name), and another could with bad company.

Essentially how big a priority would king crimson be when they're a) no where near as big as other prog acts, b) members are in those bigger bands, and c) destined for a side category

About The Bloodhound Gang, Martin K wrote:
  Bloodhound Gang have been a consistent reminder of the roots of rock and roll. Songs about the joys and heartaches of life, laced with clever word play and sexual innuendo, sometimes downright raunchy and in your face. Both in their music and on stage they have continued the tradition of rock being able to offend, entertain and speak to a new generation of kids. From the hilarious, sexually explicit "Three Point One Four" to the subtle, quietly moving "Socially Awkward Penguin", Bloodhound Gang have remained true to themselves and never fallen prey to the lure of commercialism. Intelligent, but unpretentious. Controversial, but uncompromising, Bloodhound Gang definitely tick all the boxes of what many (should) consider the true spirit of Rock And Roll.

  Agree to disagree,

but I still want to clarify some facts. Within heavy music, Deep Purple holds a "founding" status alongside Led Zeppelin and Sabbath. Deep Purple's influence is not weaker than that of Maiden, Judas Priest, or Motörhead.

Moreover, Sabbath's influence involves more of the dark and evil elements and ideologies affecting metal genres other than doom metal, rather than directly influencing songwriting and arrangement. Power metal, neoclassical metal, and progressive metal were all directly influenced by Deep Purple in terms of composition and arrangement. As for Led Zeppelin, their influence on other genres and overall popular culture is unparalleled, but within heavy music, Purple's influence can be considered comparable to Led Zeppelin.

Deep Purple directly influenced the three metal pioneers: Motörhead, Priest, and Maiden. They also significantly influenced the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal), including bands like Def Leppard and Saxon.

If you question these points, you might want to consider what people in the heavy music circle have said.

Iron Maiden ( https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/bruce-dickinson-on-the-influence-of-deep-purple-and-led-zeppelin/ ):
"Dickinson maintained that he 'was always a bigger Purple fan than Zeppelin.'"

Metallica ( https://www.thehighwaystar.com/news/2009/04/06/metallica-praises-deep-purple/ ):
"I'd say Deep Purple. If you say Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, you also have to say Deep Purple. They come as a threesome."

In a documentary on heavy metal, various individuals were asked who the first metal band was. Lemmy stated it was Deep Purple.

Based on your statement, it seems like you think Deep Purple has a more limited influence on heavy music, and their induction is not because they significantly influenced heavy music but because they were famous with hit songs, similar to Ozzy, which is certainly limiting. In fact, Deep Purple, like Led Zeppelin, Sabbath, Maiden, Judas Priest, and Motörhead, is revered as a pioneer and a major progenitor in heavy music.

You might not listen to heavy music much. You are underestimating Deep Purple. Deep Purple's influence on heavy metal music is on par with Led Zeppelin, and even comparable to Black Sabbath. Bands like Motörhead, Priest, and Maiden were all directly influenced by Deep Purple. Deep Purple had a profound impact on genres like proto-metal and neoclassical among others. While Led Zeppelin had a broader impact on popular music and culture, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath had a greater influence within the realm of heavy music. Deep Purple certainly had a larger influence than Priest, Motörhead, and Maiden because they directly and deeply influenced them, and the bands influenced by these three metal pioneers also largely regard Deep Purple as a major influence.

For what it's worth, I did rank Deep Purple higher than Ozzy's solo work.
