Rolling Stone Readers Pick Who Should Be In the Rock Hall

Welcome to another argument over who should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For a number of years, we've been hearing the cries from fans of Rush, the Moody Blues, the Monkees, Kiss (who may actually make it this year) and many others that their favorite artist belongs in the hallowed Rock Hall. So, Rolling Stone gave their readers a chance to voice their opinions and they chose...

"Weird Al" Yankovic

Now, granted, Rush, the Moody Blues, the Smiths and Alice Cooper rounded out the top five, but how exactly did Weird Al top the poll? We're thinking there may have been a little ballot box stuffing here but, if millions of dollars can't expose similar schemes in Minnesota, Ohio and Florida, then who knows. Maybe the general public thinks Al should be inducted.

Or maybe not.
