I think in the past Joe has said if it were up to him he'd politely refuse as he doesn't give a rats a$$ but that the rest of the fellas did want to inducted. I think there would definitely be a major issue if Viv was excluded given how long he's been with the band and the number of albumns and tours. He's every bit a Leppard. Viv is DL. Steve is dead, but he was part of the band during the peak, foundation years. DL will send his family his statue. I am sure DL won't have any of his family present. BonJovi inducted Hug and Sambora and JohnAlec. Rightly so. RnRH is really not a big deal by bands who they want of their group to be put in. From what I see of RnRH, it is really political, money, favoritism thing like Star on Hollywood. Anybody just about can get one. It was for actors. Now, MaryHart , Mariah Carey.lol.Look for Kim Kardashian to have a Star on HollywoodWofF one day. RnRH is industry bragging rights.DL is touring with CheapTrick later and CT is in and rightly so. DL should be in before some others, but politics kind of thing

Old thread I am posting on, I know. I kind of have a different point about it. Mutt Lange is not in RnRHF either. Producer writer from DL, and he was their 6th member those years of the 1980s, BryanAdams, so many others to , of course, Shania Twain. Rock, pop, country. ML will be in RnRHF . When he is, DL will probably be too.

I know Joe has expressed his disinterest and I see his point of view. But I think they totally deserve it! I am so happy to see the votes so high for them!

I'll punch myself in the face if blink 182 get higher in this poll and or get in the hall before the almighty Leppard.

I know this discussion could go on forever . . . but honestly, their chances look pretty good. I could understand though why they feel indifferent about it. I definitely think Mutt should go too. It's long overdue in my opinion but such is the way with RRHOF.

I don't think Stevie Nicks should be in there for her releases as a solo artist.

Leppard nominated! Todd Rundgren, John Prine and Devo are on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ballot for the first time. Joining those neglected greats are three other worthy first-timers—Roxy Music, Stevie Nicks and Def Leppard—as well as more recent acts Radiohead, The Cure and Rage Against the Machine who have been through this process before. hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=313705&title=TODD,-DEVO,-PRINE-ON-ROCK-HALL-BALLOT

Pete Willis and Vivian Campbell included in the nomination! And Steve too. Don't think there was ever any doubt that Steve would be included. It was Vivian and to a much lesser extent, Pete, who were questionable.

Nice to see this nomination. I know the band had taken an indifferent attitude but I'm sure they would be honored to be recognized for this and we know they're deserving Time for the fan power to rise up here and show the HOF how wrong they've been by not including Leppard in the past.

Just for background, here are excerpts from a 2014 article that came about after Gene and Paul were publicly outraged because the Rock Hall didn't include Eric and Tommy as part of Kiss' induction. Groups get picked for induction for different reasons, says Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation president and CEO Joel Peresman, which means the hall's nominating committee will use different standards when deciding which bandmates to include. "Sometimes, it's the overall body of work; sometimes, it's a specific period in time and the people who comprised the band that put them on the map and gave them that influence and created that legacy," he says. Peresman acknowledges that the Rock Hall's nominating committee, which consists of about 40 music industry executives, musicians and journalists, handles each decision about group membership on a case-by-case basis, in consultation with outside scholars. "It's a little bit of opinion, but you have to go with the opinion of people who know these genres of music and can form a truly educated opinion," he says. The hall plans to change the way it announces group nominations as a result of the uproar over the Kiss exclusions, which led to the group refusing to play at the induction ceremony, and the confusion over Channing's, which Peresman says he learned of from a secondhand text message from Nirvana's management. "Going forward, we'll be more clear-cut from the beginning and more public about who's being inducted," Peresman says. "(The next time) we announce the nominees, we'll make sure to say, 'Here are the people being nominated.' "

I highly doubt it would happen, but I do wonder if they got in... Would Pete be offered the chance to play a song with them?

Let's bump Stevie out of #1! I'm really excited for this and I will be making the trip to Brooklyn for this. IF I can get tickets.

They need headline acts for the show and broadcast ... so based on that alone they'll get in.

Nice to see one of the biggest oversights in music history being vindicated! Also nice to see Joe being appreciative and taking a pragmatic approach with his comments considering what he has publicly said in the past. Will be a day to remember for sure when it finally happens.

Keep in mind the voting is by email address. So if you have multiple accounts for personal, work or whatever, can cast multiple votes each day.

If they get in i bet the touring plans for 2019 change. How can they take a year off touring their biggest market when they just got inducted?
