I’ll go Kraftwerk, Devo and The Cure on this ballot, but I still think @neworder deserves a spot in the Rock Hall, too. https://t.co/ksCv9wpDJd

Besides Kraftwerk, Roxy Music and The Cure. None of these groups deserve to go in before them, or Judas Priest or Iron Maiden who were snubbed again. @rockhall Once again, showing how clueless you nerds are. https://t.co/amhfKvozpj
