Reply #9: I remember visiting the RRHOF, and seeing a display about all those nominated

Including a letter from a rep of the Sex Pistols in response to their nomination (spelling and grammar is exactly as they wrote it):

Next to the SEX PISTOLS rock and roll and that hall of fame is a piss stain. Your museum. Urine in wine. Were not coming. Were not your monkey and so what? Fame at $25,000 if we paid for a table, or $15000 to squeak up in the gallery, goes to a non-profit organisation selling us a load of old famous. Congratulations. If you voted for us, hope you noted your reasons. Your anonymous as judges, but your still music industry people. Were not coming. Your not paying attention. Outside the shit-stem is a real SEX PISTOL

(I would have posted the image of the letter, but I believe it's copyrighted.)

After seeing that, I somehow never felt so bad about Rush being excluded.
