This is how bands get into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

In order to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, the first record or CD of the respective formation must have been released at least 25 years ago. A few musicians are then selected annually by curators.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has repeatedly been criticized for its decision: some say that famous rock bands, such as Iron Maiden, are still missing from the Hall of Fame.
