Its more of a curiousity than anything for me. Similar to awards shows, in
my mind. I've seldom agreed with the winners, and that goes especially for
any kind of music ceremonies, be it Juno's or Grammy awards. Hell, I don't
typically even agree with who gets nominated ;)
For the curious, the Hall of Fame website has the residents listed
alphabetically here.
