I am certainly not the arbiter of taste, even if I should be. There are a number of acts in the Rock and Roll shall of Fame that probably do not belong there. Some deserving acts are left out.
One act that gets far too much love and respect is the Sex Pistols.
Believe it or not, this is deemed one of their best efforts.
I have nothing against punk music. I just think maybe the musicians should be able to actually play their instruments before we put them into the HOF.
Your opinion may vary.

Mostly I suspect it's about how many albums you sell and how many butts you plant in seats, not how good you actually are. Otherwise there is no quantifiable measurement, like there is in, say, baseball.
I am a product of my generation. Country and Rock & Roll. Beatles left me cold. BRM's Sunday music blog a year or more had a metal singer. I dislike that form of what I hear as screaming. But I will always try to at listen. Dan Vasc blew me away. Opera voice, goes from A to F. Amazing Grace or Rolling in the Deep.
But hard NO to the sex pistols.
