Gentleman. The criteria is ours alone. And by our measurement alone should bands be judged. No prerequisite is too good, or bad for judging these acts.
If you're against allowing a band in because you don't like what they stood for, then so be it. This Hall of Fame (i assume this was PMO's intention) belong to MusicBanter, and by that marker, we ought to do what MB, namely us, thinks should go.
I'm more than satisfied in voting against Pink Floyd but for Big Black. I would be greatly disappointed if we ended up drafting off the lead of the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.
