The cars, Steve miller and Chicago all have way more hits and radio airplay than deep purple. Deep purple is what Gipper would describe as "the Dan fouts of rock" nothing special. Post something that convinces me otherwise.

Dan Fouts IS a Hall of Famer, ergo, I guess you think Deep Purple must go in. So, it seems you convinced yourself...

I guess I was thinking of another post you made. Still I don't get the love for deep purple. The two hits they do have aren't all that good. The norm snead of rock then.
This shit ain't nothing to me, man. -
Dire straits would be a better choice in my opinion than deep purple by a mile.
This shit ain't nothing to me, man. -

If hit songs were the total measure, then the Grateful Dead and a number of others who are in would not be there. They would just rotely put in the best selling acts.
Is that what you want?
I felt the same way you do about Rush....yet they are in. I would take DP over Rush.

And I like Dire Straits better as well. I might agree with you....slightly.

Ok. What is your criteria for hall of fame. One would be success in which steve miller puts deep purple to shame.
Another would be enduring legacy in which the grateful dead puts deep purple to shame. The point is deep purple had a couple of modest hits no more. They're definitely not drawing people to festivals and spawning an empire of merchandise like the grateful dead is still doing.

My criteria is whatever the hell it is that I personally like. I don't know that you can say there is any criteria. And I think that you are under the misimpression that I am all heavily in favor of DP getting in. I am not. I am only saying that amongst the acts that are finalists, they could deserve as much as any, I suppose. But there are a ton of other acts that I would rather see in....but they are not being considered.

I would induct none of these. This is special exhibit fare.
This shit ain't nothing to me, man. -
I also think Dire Straits is better. They have some really good tunes.
-
Considering the people who are already in I would say almost every member of that list are worthy of induction.
And it's a pretty gray area what is defined as rock and roll.

Well, it is pretty clear that they don't think that certain well selling female singers are to get in: Streisand, Whitney, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Carol King.
But, they put Johnny Cash in but not Frank Sinatra.
There are a few seemingly country guys in....but most are not.
So....as we said....there is no criteria.

No, there are some that I personally think should go in.
But its like: if they let X in, they should let Y in.....because Y is as good as X and maybe even sold more records.
So, no there is no criteria.

Deep Purple? Meh... "Smoke..." was cool for about 10 listenings. "Hush" was earlier and better.
The Cars simply have not endured.
Chicago, I could see getting in. In the beginning they brought a revolutionary return of horns to rock... along with Blood, Sweet and Tears. Plus Chicago headlined the first concert I ever saw... Blues Image opened.
Miller's early, blues-based stuff... while Boz Scaggs was with the band was great. I love their LP "Sailor" which includes my all-time SMB track, Livin' In the USA. Enough to get them in? Maybe... but there was a lot of schlock that followed.
Funny thing is when Steve wanted to turn "more commercial" with "The Joker" type stuff, Boz left only to ultimately go more commercial with "Silk Degrees". But before he did he did he put out a four good to very good, blues-based LPs kicked off by his best, IMO, Boz. It was recorded at Atlantic's, legendary Muscle Shoals studio with many of its session players in attendance. It includes a breathtaking 12-1/2 minute jam of "Loan Me a Dime" that includes Duane Allman.
-
The cars have nor endured? I beg to differ. Listen to any classic rock radio station in the country and you will hear no less than five cars songs a day. That's enduring.

Machine Head & Burn are 2 fantastic albums. Ritchie Blackmore is one of the best lead guitar guys ever. Like a few have mentioned, there doesn't seem to be consistent criteria for induction, but I can't understand why true "rock & roll" bands have to wait, and other acts that aren't "rock & roll" get in, like Joni Mitchell, Madonna for instance.
FWIW-Deep Purple & Golden Earring was the first rock concert at the Richfield Coliseum, I was there, it was awesome.

they play it live like they were in the studio.
