What have Green Day done to earn them a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? That place is a joke, first they start letting hip-hop artists in, now they just stick any old joke with a stringed instrument in there and pray that they don't look like a bunch of morons who know nothing about rock music.

"Among those nominated but yet to get in are Lou Reed (expect that to change next year, thanks to his October 2013 death), the Cure, Kraftwerk, MC5, Wings, the Wailers, Mary Wells, Steve Winwood, Joe Tex, War, Rufus and Chaka Khan, Gram Parsons, the New York Dolls, Afrika Bambaataa, and Eric B. and Rakim. Among those never nominated? The Smiths, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Dolly Parton, Barry White, Sonic Youth, Joy Division, Roxy Music, Sade, the Pixies, Peter, Paul and Mary, Duran Duran, Meatloaf, Kool and the Gang, Patsy Cline, the Carpenters, Kate Bush, Jethro Tull, Tommy James and the Shondells, Rick James, Janet Jackson, Iron Maiden, INXS, Eurythmics, Dire Straits, Dead Kennedys, Cheap Trick, Black Flag, and many more."
Almost every band snubbed deserve a spot more than Green Day, seriously. No Cheap Trick? No Green Day. No Black Flag? No Green Day. No Dead Kennedys? No Green Day. Not to mention Husker Du and the Replacements, all of whom were watered down to create Green Day's sound. I mean yeah, okay, Green Day, decent band, they can write a good song and they're fun, etc. But essentially... they're inessential to the history of rock music.
