I think that America's 'Hall of Fame' recognitions fulfil a similar cultural role to our Honours system (MBE, OBE etc). There are always some people who don't feel blessed because self-appointed and largely unaccountable people give recognition to them, or their works. I wouldn't expect the Pistols to line up at the Palace if they were given the chance, so I'm not surprised that they choose to refuse a similar 'honour'.
