Not to nitpick though. If TMV doesn't get in I can understand completely.

Mars Volta have taken a traditional 70's Prog rock/ fusion template and made it heavier. No matter how good they are musically they are still a mish mash of many artists. The whole point of a HOF is to have artists that have broken the mould or who were one of the originals in the scene etc. Mars Volta are not that for me. I consider a band such as Kayo dot to be far more deserving but i know that they wouldn't get in so I don't worry about it
