  3. Jackson 5/Michael Jackson
  4. The O'Jays
  5. Earth Wind & Fire
  6. Blondie
  7. Donna Summer

  1. Van Halen
  2. Guns N' Roses
  3. Heart
  4. KISS

Do you really want me to list every single rock act in the hall compared to Disco?

I could do it but it would take me a full day's worth simply because 80% of the RHOF consist of Rock acts.

Just saying since you want to get technical.

They snubbed Donna Summer for over a decade until they finally inducted her when she died. Her induction was bittersweet because they only did it because she died.
