Our next artist may have the longest career on this list but would mot surprise us if she generated the least amount of respect. Of course, it seems like Cher has been fighting for respect her entire career.

Although the Faces derived from the Small Faces and contained similar members, the two were widely different bands and we find it curious they were inducted together (we had them listed separately before they were inducted). Regardless, this an induction that includes some heavyweight musicians who are certainly HOF worthy, and in the case of Rod Stewart and Ron Wood, generated a second induction for them.

In a previous entry we mentioned that Metallica’s entry to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame we questioned whether this could be the catalyst to induct Slayer as the second member of the “Big Four of Thrash Metal”. We still think they have the best shot of the remaining four, but if they look towards innovation than Anthrax may be the one they turn to.
