just checked with my fellow A&R types at their labels they work at and we're pretty much at a consensus - Duran's put themselves on the backburner in terms of consideration for the Rock Hall.
Ace of Base is more likely to get in now before Duran - thanks to the debacle that is Paper Gods.

Precisely, Duran Duran is, and has always been, a Pop Group. They've never been a Rock band which is why Red Hot Chilli Peppers, U2, Coldplay and countless others get more accolades from critics and Awards shows. Duran know they have worldwide fans and the only thing they would be happy with is the occasional Top 20 radio hit so they can be a musical force that writes new songs and tours every few years, PERIOD! I'm sure they are content, I know I am after all these years. They are a great band as we all can agree on.

There are people in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who are in there for non-performance contributions to the music industry. Duran Duran should get in on their pioneering work in music video alone, even if they never get in on musical merit (which they should).
The people who decide these things are living in the past. That's great for some bands, horrible for others who the rock press didn't appreciate in their heyday. But it seems like they're dead set on keeping out any band that was mainly a 'keyboard' band (or often perceived as so). Duran Duran should be in, so should Kraftwerk, so should Depeche Mode, the Cure and, in my opinion, Eurythmics. Nobody's going to argue that Men Without Hats or Naked Eyes should be in there, but the idea that Duran Duran haven't earned a spot is complete bullshit.

I just checked with my fellow VP types at their labels and they actually think DD solidified their position...one of them was Madonna's VP at her label (ohhhh my Gahhhhh!!!). Guess there's a reason why they are still just A&R guys.

Since when does an A&R guy's opinion have anything to do with the Rock Hall?!?
But, yes, I could care less about the Rock Hall...
