finally, Deep Purple's 2016 induction ...

DP can now stand along side other great Rock&Roll HOF artist, like, ummmm, Donna Summer.

As a big fan, I considered their consistent snub a true R&R honour. I will miss that!!! Eligible 1993, ignored til 2012, then denied, and again 2013 ...

Well, I guess the academy required 44 years to finally appreciate Machine Head.

Congrats!

Well, w/Rush being inducted last year, there's still hope.
FFS, the thing is a freakin' joke.
