It seems that this Greg is in the wrong business (that is if you can count any of my work towards this Progarchives Hall of Infamy as a business or as work).

So the artists have to pay to get in?

What is $10,000 per ticket?

^ So the members of Rush and Yes finally snapped. What did they do to get indicted? Kill some people? Scheme to blow up their musical rivals? Doesn't sound like something Rush would do.

Are we talking stage clothing and used guitars behind glass? Is there a movie theatre or concert room in it? The RRHoF is quite like the Area 51 of the rock world to me. I know it exists in some form but don’t really know what actually is there, or goes on behind the scenes. Alien autopsies, or just Foreigner AOR-rocksies? Foreigner is not in the RnRHOF.

It’s so shrouded in mystery to me that I can’t say whether that’s a conspiracy theory or not. For all I know, Foreigner is locked in the basement of the Hall of Fame being prodded and probed by groupies, or research is being done using those Foreigners to make music that kills. For all I know, the Hall of Fame is part of Area 51, and the Foreigners are so foreign that they are indeed aliens from another world. My point is that like with Area 51, there are things we just don’t know, or at least I don’t know. A mystery to me shrouded in an enigma.

EDiT: I chose Foreigner because it means alien, and Area 51 has had many conspiracy theories including ones that involve aliens. I could have gone with the band UFO, or others.

If nothing else I'm happy this years nominee list introduced me to Fela Kuti. Will certainly pick up a couple on bandcamp
