Well, I’ll be damned. A non-KISS frea … err … fan has called attention to the fact that those fun-loving, middle-aged Knights in Satan’s Service STILL haven’t been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The fine folks over at Ear Farm have made their Top 20 Candidates For the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, written in a very logical, un-KISS frea … err … fan-biased-diatribe kinda way.

To put it into perspective, an artist is eligible for the Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their debut. KISS was eligible in 1999. Yeah, they didn’t make the 2009 cut, either. Of course, KISS’ exclusion makes perfect sense when you realize who’s chairing the RNRHOF: Jann Wenner, founder of Rolling Stone, the magazine that never gave KISS the time of day even when the band was in their halcyon ’70s prime. The complete HOF list is here. And if the following clip (one of my personal favorites) doesn’t scream rock ‘n’ roll, I don’t know what does.

Jann Wenner needs to retire. And he needs to stop putting Obama on the cover of RS. Seriously, three times within three months (or whatever) is ludicrous.

Yes he does. Obama I could live with, but Britney Spears? Wow. RS is about as relevant as…, well, Britney Spears.
