Seems odd that the BBC hardly mentioned the 2 British inductees.

Why is it sh*t? If Wakeman made some idiotic remarks/jokes that nobody laughed on, he deserved to be ragged on. 
Why not take a more humble approach and discuss the history of their music and be appreciative of the fan base that has kept them alive well beyond their time.

Wakeman cannot believe that the music industry actually likes prog....they never did!

Too bad Steve Perry did not perform with Journey....

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Face it, that "crappy rapper" is more famous and renowned than Yes. Should he be? Eh, probably not. Who knows? Better yet, who cares? I'm sure at least once Yes has been criticized for overshadowing the "true" musical greats. Live and let live. Most importantly, don't expect mainstream journalism to have worthwhile opinions on art. 

How many Tupac songs have any of us actually listened to anyway?

I doubt any reporter/magazine wants to feature a band with guys that just finished filming Dawn of the Dead....

Plus Tupak has a mystery about his life and his pics are easier on the eyes...
LOL

Yes hardly merit a mention, yet a crappy rapper gets a whole paragraph.

A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.
