It's that Jann Werner fucker from Rolling Stone. He and his cronies dictate who gets consideration, and they will always , ALWAYS, skew towards American acts. The Cure have been eligible for a decade. Black Sabbath took FOREVER to get in, and that is a fucking travesty. KISS should have gone in very early. for about a decade, rock n roll was synonymous with KISS, and in a good your-parents-hate-them kind of way, not like U2, who everyone's grandma and feeble grandpa loves.
The Sex Pistols sent in the best letter though, telling them all to fuck off.
