Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 2017: Twitter Fans Not Happy With Inductees Like Tupac Shakur, Complain About Snubs

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2017 inductee announcement has been made and Twitter is not thrilled about it. On Tuesday, several famous and legendary names were listed off as entering the famous museum in Cleveland next year.

The inductees joining the class of 2017 include Tupac Shakur, Electric Light Orchestra, Pearl Jam, Journey, Joan Baez and Yes, Rolling Stone reported. Musicians only become eligible for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after their first single, making it Pearl Jam and Tupac Shakur’s first year for eligibility.

Some fans didn’t agree with all of the artists chosen to be inducted. “Tupac should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame like Mickey Mantle should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,” one Twitter user wrote.

“The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (unfortunately) has nothing to do with rock music. It should be renamed to ‘The Modern Music Museum,’” wrote another Twitter user.

Other fans were disappointed that their favorite artists didn’t make the cut once again. “Can’t believe The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame snubbed Pete Rose again. #RockHall2017,” an upset fan tweeted.

“I see the Carpenters and Patsy Cline snubbed again. Maybe next year?! ‘Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,’” another fan tweeted.

“Feeling so gutted about the news of Janet being rejected AGAIN to be inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame,” one disappointed fan tweeted.

However, there were some who were pleased with the announcements. “2017 is already better because Tupac is headed to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,” a Twitter user wrote.

The induction ceremony is scheduled to be held on April 17, 2017 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Tickets for the big event will go on sale in January and the ceremony will be aired at a later date on HBO. Sirius XM will host a radio broadcast.
