i guarantee if Morrissey had a vote these excellent artists would have been in the hall years ago. Songs The Lord Taught us is one of the best records of all time let alone within the punk genre. Definatly worthy of induction althought it likely will never happen.

Yes , The Cramps should be in the Hall , because their Influence was and is still very strong and big ! And besides this Commercial Shit there is and was always around , they really fight and worked very hard for their Band , because they are a real Rock and Roll Band , they create their own world and give this Rock and Roll Music a very special meaning , in their own way !!

As much seeing them in the HOF is a pipe dream. But if they do get in at some point, then I could only see Lux, Poison, Nick, Bryan, Kid, Candy, Slim, Jim, and Harry as the inducted members.

Whaddya think?

The rock n roll hall of fame is a bad joke-- they don't even know what qualifies as rock n roll-- all you got to do is look at the class of 2021 nominees to see that (Mary J. Blige, the GoGo's, LL Cool Jay).... they need to get with the program. The Cramps are better off without them.

Bands with any sort of sense of humor will never get in the hof, The Cramps took rock n roll more seriously than most bands but for some reason are looked upon as a joke band.
