I agree 100%. It is an homage to those who have made cash for record
companies. And even when a group such as the who is included, they choose
to represent that band with the heavy radio play songs; even if these songs
are among the groups weaker material. Would you rathe have "Behind Blue
Eyes", "Pinball Wizard", and My Generation" representing the Who; or
"However Much I Booze", "Sparks", and "A Quick One While He's Away".
Personally, I am sick to death of the first list of songs, and the only
reason that these are "typical who songs" in the first place is due to
heavy-radio-play-to-the-point-of-vomiting. There are much better Who songs
(such as those I mentioned) that more "represent" the Who.
I also get the feeling that the Who's inclusion was more or less gratuitous.
I know this sounds wierd, after all it's the Who: the greatest Rock and Roll
band ever. But that is exactly my point! I just have this feeling that the
induction comitee kind of said. "well it's the Who, they get played on
classic rock stations. Yeah, I remember that song...Pinball Wizard. Isn't
Tommy playing on broadway." Well you get the picture. I know its
pesimistic, but remember: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is Full of Shit.

God, I wish it weren't true.... God, I wish that everyone was sincere, and
of the highest integrity, and that everyone was not full of shit, but
for sure, I couldn't agree with both of you more: THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL
OF FAME, (AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR -- HYPOCRACY IN THE HIGHEST DEGREE) IS *SO*
FULL OF SH*T! (Especially when they had to *posthumously* honor Frank Zappa
...what an insult!) (Knowing how Frank would feel about it makes the whole
thing a real joke, anyway, ha-ha-ha....oh, well, enough about Zappa on the
"who list") ....
