JUDAS PRIEST INDUCTED INTO
THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME.

Judas Priest just announced that they were thrilled and honored to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For the longest time heavy metal bands have been constantly overlooked but in more recent years we've had a handful of hard rock and heavy metal bands inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Judas Priest gets the award for Musical Excellence award, which is something of a backhanded compliment. So despite getting the award I think that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame remains a joke. They are obviously a clueless corporation that don't think that heavy metal is good enough to be in their little elitist club.
