When will "Rush" be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Answer 1

Rush has been inducted into Canada's Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Canada inducts after 20 years, and Rush was inducted in 1994.

Rolling Stone has often been blamed for their inability to enter the US. Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. The Hall's refusal to induct Rush may also be a consequence of the band's insistence on remaining outside the mainstream of rock when it comes to self-promotion, in favour of maintaining a high degree of independence. To this day fans earnestly clamor for the band's inclusion into the Hall by citing noteworthy accomplishments including longevity, proficiency, and influence, as well as commercial sales figures and RIAA certifications.

As far as the Rock n Roll Hall of fame, Rush would have been eligible in 1999. Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria include the influence and significance of the artist’s contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll. No one really knows for sure, it's really up to the historians at the RRHOF to decide when they are nominated.

The Foundation’s nominating committee, composed of rock and roll historians, selects nominees each year in the Performer category. Ballots are then sent to an international voting body of about 1,000 rock experts. Those performers who receive the highest number of votes, and more than 50 percent of the vote, are inducted. The Foundation generally inducts five to seven performers each year.
