How long has the R&R HOF been around that some of these aren't in already, and how the [censored] is Miles "rock" (Miles rules, but like... wtf?)

All deserved. Its not like they have ballots and waiting lists for this, right?

Will Lydon even show for this?

The R&R HOF has very "loose" criteria in terms of entry. Wait until hip-hop/rap acts start getting in...

I liked Blondie in the late 70's. HOF material? NFW NFW NFW NFW NFW NFW.

I'm not very fluent in the rules for being inducted but I think the rule is that 25 years after the first album, the artist becomes eligible. So it appears some of these guys have been waiting a couple years, at least.

It certainly doesn't sound like it's going to be a great show.

Blondie was pretty influential on the new-wave thing that happened in the late 70's/early 80's, no? Plus, they were on the periphery of the Ramones/New York Dolls scene, so that may have been the reasoning.

The Beatles didn't make it until Year 3. Al Green and Gladys Knight are in. I guess I really don't know what rock music is.
