KISS joins other 2010 nominees Jimmy Cliff, Genesis, LL Cool J, ABBA, the Chantels and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Yes, because LL, ABBA and the Chantels fucking rock so hard. 

It's about fucking time. 

Among the artists already in?  Legendary rockers like

Grandmaster Flash
Percy Sledge
Brenda Lee
Paul Simon
Bonnie Raitt
Earth Wind and Fire
James Taylor (man, he fucking shreds)
The Bee Gees
The Jackson Five
Parliament
Gladys Knight
Al Green
Ike Turner
Dion
The Temptations
Stevie Wonder
Marvin Gaye
Little Richard
and
Ricky Nelson

The Hall has zero legitimacy until KISS is in.  How the fuck can it call itself a "Rock and Roll" Hall of Fame and blackball one of the biggest bands in US History?  Like them or not, you can't deny the pervasive influence.

Is it an age thing? So many years before you are nominated? That list you posted had some antiques on it.
Kiss belongs no doubt. Is this the first year that they have been nominated?
I smoked a lot of weed listening to their first album when it came out. Saw them a dozen times in the next several years.

With some of those names in your list. They should just call it the   "Music Hall of Fame"

You're eligible for nomination 25 years after your first album comes out.  KISS has been eligible for ten years.  This is the first time they've been nominated. 

Meanwhile, Madonna, Blondie, Miles Davis, Isaac Hayes, the Moonglows and Ruth Brown are in.  Who the fuck is Ruth Brown?

Who the fuck is Ruth Brown?

Reconnize bish.

You dated my ass. Chronologically.
Geno must have run that tongue up one of the Chairman's old lady's slit.

Mine's dated, too.

I could drive myself to KISS concerts toward the end of their first popularity crest.  Before the makeup came off for sure.

kiss should tell the rock and roll hall of fame to "kiss my ass".
