Iron Maiden Finally Gets Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Nod
It’s about f’ing time
The @rockhall Foundation have announced Iron Maiden as one of its inductees for 2026.
Quote from Rod Smallwood on behalf of Iron Maiden:

Maiden is really one of the most influential metal bands of all time, and this should have happened long ago. But, the RRHOF does not really like metal bands.
Now, did you watch the vid? Consider, these are the ones voted in
? Phil Collins
? Billy Idol
? Iron Maiden
? Joy Division/New Order
? Oasis
? Sade
? Luther Vandross
? Wu-Tang Clan
Only the first 5 are rock related, and, I’m not sure Joy Division nor Oasis deserve to be in. The last 3 have no business being in, because they are not rock. There should be no rap, country, hip hop, etc. Dolly Parton is great, but, should she be in? The Country Music Hall of Fame wouldn’t allow the Eagles, Lynyrd Skynard, 38 Special, Blackfoot, or any other southern rock band in, right?
Where is Motorhead, Dio, Saxon (many do not remember how influential they were), Testament, Death (really, one of the most influential and early Death metal bands), Eodus, Pantera, Megadeth, Slayer, and so many more. Judas Priest is in under the “Musical Excellence Award” rather than as a main performer, which is absurd. One of the OGs and super influential.
Where’s Huey Lewis and the News? Foreigner? Robert Plant solo? J. Geils Band? Bad Company? Boston? Kansas? Joe Walsh? Styx? Jethro Tull? 38 Special? Mötley Crüe? Peter Frampton? And so many more rock bands. Yet, there are tons of non-rock.
So, what should happen is that after the induction ceremony, the entire thing should be shut down and restarted as the Real Rock Hall of Fame. Most of the artists who are rock will be included, and we’ll put the real snubs in. And then just keep it rock!
Favorite Maiden song? There’s so many. How about the one that got me into Maiden (this is some cool AI added that someone did)
