Scorpions 5

Anybody who doesn't think Scorpions belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame clearly knows nothing about rock and roll or Scorpions. Look at some of the other bands that have made it. Blondie, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Are you kidding me? Scorpions are INTERNATIONAL superstars. To this day they play in sold out arenas all over the world. Go to SE Asia and people have never heard of Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones, but if you mention Scorpions .... EVERYBODY knows them. Very few bands have had the world wide following that Scorpions have. ZZ Top is in the Hall of Fame and Scorpions arent?? Incredible !!! I would like to hear one legitimate argument of why ZZ Top should be in and not Scorpions. If it wasn't for their beards and MTV, nobody would've even cared about ZZ Top.

It depends on where you are and what you listen to, I guess. I've honestly never heard of Scorpions. Oh, sure, I've heard "Rock You Like a Hurricane", but I had no idea who sang it until reading the description above. But I've obviously heard of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and while I couldn't name you a song by Blondie or ZZ Top, I've heard of them.
