I would have voted No for Chuck Berry because I don't like his music much. In a lot of cases, I dislike his music.
But I don't deny his influence. It seems fairly common to think of this Hall Of Fame as a list of 'Best/Most Influential' artists in the general opinion of MB members as a group. Is it? I always vote based on how I personally feel about the artists' music but maybe I'm doing it wrong

I guess I tend to view a hall of fame as something which above all is about achievement and influence, since that's how the term is generally applied with regards to real-world museums. If it's just who is most popular on MB, why not call it "Bands We Love" or something?
