Yes, it WILL be HUGE watching Def Leppard be inducted tonight as well as perform in vivid HD pro shot color! Especially at the end when Ian Hunter and Brian May join them onstage for a rousing performance of “All The Young Dudes”!

On that Glam Rock note (Def Leppard are huge Mott The Hoople fans), Mott is touring the states for the first time in 45 years! It also seems inevitable they will also be inducted soon. Let’s hope Hunter being on stage with them helps Mott’s prospects as he and the rest of the band (including original guitarist, Mick Ralphs) are not getting any younger.

It would be a crime not to induct them right away as we would hate to see yet another repeat of a posthumous induction when it doesn’t have to be!

Brian Mays induction speech was pure class. Appreciate DL even more and are happy for all they’ve achieved

[Kixchix]

The ovation for Rick Allen was beyond touching. Almost had a tear. DL’s performance was incendiary!!!! Ian Hunter and the “jam” was awesome considering those un-fun tools from Radiohead, The Cure and the rest of the other boring inductees.

[Metalboy!]

Like Kixchix said, pure class all the way!

From Brian Mays’ induction of Def Leppard to Joe Elliot’s incredible acceptance speech (not a dry eye in the house for Rick Allen and Steve Clark to their incredible performance including bringing out one of their Glam Rock heroes to shine a light on why Mott The Hoople needs to be inducted post haste, it was an incredible night!

But I’m not going to diss the other acts. I think they’re all deserving, particularly The Zombies. However, Radiohead and The Cure should not have been inducted ahead of the long list of others who have been overlooked who are far more worthy.

And, sorry, but Janet Jackson should have NEVER been nominated. Her stuff doesn’t even merit a second listen.

Also, this thing of recognizing someone twice, once as part of a band and the second for their solo career, like Stevie Nicks, as great as she may be, is ridiculous and uninspired, again, when you consider there are so many acts that are deserving BEFORE anyone else gets a second nod.

Opinions. Lol. Janet Jackson and The Cure deserved the honor just as much as Def Leppard did. They just need to change the name to "The Music Hall of Fame", and be done with it!

I thought it was great that most bands played ! Of course Lep killed it all the way through from the monlogue to the last notes. Question: where were the "songs" inducted like they did in 2018 ?

[GNR]

Nevermind, found them on Wiki, must of missed it when watching the show

The Chantels "Maybe" (1957)[147]
The Champs "Tequila" (1958)[147]
Barrett Strong "Money (That's What I Want)" (1959)[147]
The Isley Brothers "Twist and Shout" (1962)[147]
The Shangri-Las "Leader of the Pack" (1964)[147]
The Shadows of Knight "Gloria" (1965)[147]

[Metalboy!]

That is laffable, BK, but that’s why we love you. Jackson is a joke. And though The Cure may be deserving, there are lots of bands who deserve to go in before they did.

One gross omission in my comments — ROXY MUSIC! Awesome band who deserve their induction as much as anyone as demonstrated by their killer performance on the show. Talk about hits to spare, they avoided performing “Love Is The Drug” for what I’m gonna guess are PC reasons.

Awesome fact(s) regarding songs that have been inducted, what those songs are and how few there are. Wonder why “Gloria” gets in but not “Maybelline” or “Hound Dog”?

[Bkallday]

Haha. Again, opinions. Sorry but as a fan of the genre, Janet has some pretty kick ass tunes. As for Roxy Music, they're lame AF and most of them looked just as lame(im sorry but it's time to let the perm go when you hit 50 and you're a man), performing their terribly corny songs. Roxy Music??? Lmfao at that nonsense!!!

[Metalboy!]

Janet Jackson over Roxy Music? Man, no wonder HIM quit. You just don’t get Rock & Roll, BK. You’re a troll to beat all trolls!

[Bkallday]

Now you're just showing your ignorance/bias/or whatever else it may be. Roxy Music has sold a total of 30 million records worldwide. Janet has sold an estimated 100 million records worldwide, and is listed as the eleventh best-selling female recording artist in the US. Your comments are always so invalid yet you always wanna call others trolls. Haha, pure comedy bro. Thanks for the belly laugh today! Roxy Music over Janet Jackson??? Lmao, not even on Mars!!! Yet im the troll? Comedy at its finest.
