I guess their induction has nothing to do with the fact they
jump-started the British punk scene? Whether it's a meta-textual
joke by anyone's (or even their own) definition, the Sex Pistols
have more to do with "rock n' roll" than the Eagles, Pink Floyd
or alot of other inductees. It's a shame they weren't in there
sooner as far as I'm concerned.
