I doubt it, I don't think he should.

Absolutely. As a pioneer of funk/punk, he belongs. There's a long list of individuals and groups that have been overlooked by the HOF.

Metallica inducted before Motorhead? C'mon.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

No. Some of his work was great, but I don't think his entire body of work justifies the RRHOF.

Some people get in for one or two hits songs. Rick had great songs spanning two decades. He deserves RRHOF.

Definitely. He wrote sooo many great songs. Extremely talented and pioneering. I don't think they'll do it for a while though. People just don't give him the props that he deserves.
Change it one more time..

Madonna is in the Hall of Fame!!!? I mean, I agree that she should be there. But if she is there, Rick James should most def be in the HOF

I hear you, but I don't think any of those one- or two-hit wonders should be in the RRHOF.

It's like the baseball Hall of Fame letting in some career .250 hitter that had one good season. They don't do that.
