Shouldn't they have enough of a catalog of hits to rate?
And it is meant to be a tourist attraction so they induct the bands and singers they believe will bring the tourists. Ala Cher, she still sells out large venues and her book right now is #1 on the NYTs list without some right wing machine buying them up to bump its rating up.

I think the artists and the audience really enjoy it.

I do wonder why BOSTON still is not inducted though
