Seems kind of odd to me to think of the new wave groups lumped in with the usual Hall of fame suspects. At this point they would probably appreciate the recognition.... but back then? Doubtful they'd want to be enshrined next to the "gods of rock". Better to make the cover of Smash Hits magazine!

I'm happy if the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame completely ignores new wave.

Why would anyone be interested in such things? It's a completely corporate invention of a worst showbiz kind, no merit whatsoever and no real meaning behind it. By the way it only underlines the fact that rock'n'roll is a museum piece now (and has been since HOF's creation). Would we want New Wave to be a museum piece too? Hope not.
