Which Rock Hall "snubs" actually deserve induction?

How it works: We scored artists from 0-100 using weighted metrics such as musical quality (35%), impact (35%) and career (30%).

• Our methodology is grounded in the Hall's stated emphasis on musical excellence, impact and influence.

In response to your emails, we tabulated scores for the artists you advocated for and these were the highest scores:

• The Smiths (82)
• Smashing Pumpkins (81)
• Emerson, Lake & Palmer (76)
• Alice in Chains (75)
• Phish (72)
• Grand Funk Railroad (69)
• Lenny Kravitz (68)
• Meat Loaf (68)
• Crowded House (62)
• Ted Nugent (62)

The intrigue: Our Mendoza Line for the Rock Hall was a score of 50, meaning any artist scoring above that conceivably has a decent argument for induction.

• Some of your other favorites like Boston, J. Geils Band and Eddie Money also scored above the line, while the likes of Three Dog Night, REO Speedwagon and local hero Michael Stanley Band fell below it.

Yes, but: It all depends on how exclusive you think the Rock Hall should be.

• If your Mendoza Line is around 70, many of these so-called "snubs," as well as several current inductees, would be on the outside of the museum looking in.
