You must be voted in by a large panel of people that are in the recording industry themselves. Each year, 8 groups/individuals are nominated and 5 get in. To be eligible to be voted in you must have made an impact on society through your music, and it must be at least 25 years after you released your first piece of recorded music. The comittee is thinking about shortening it to 20 years, so artists will be able to get in faster. This, however, does not apply to some artists that have barely even been nominated. This includes Alice Cooper, Rush, and Kiss, amongst others. There has been a bit of controversy over letting groups of the hip-hop and rap genre into this organization, with acts like RUN-DMC, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, and LL Cool J being let in, and having the above acts being "snubbed" persay.
