Op-Ed: Mötley Crüe belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

They have been eligible for induction since 2006, and they have served as a musical inspiration to countless other groups and solo acts that followed. They also took the industry in the ’80s by storm thanks to their unique hairstyles and music.

An iconic group, Mötley Crüe is made up of founding members Nikki Sixx on bass, Tommy Lee on drums, Vince Neil on lead vocals, and Mick Mars on lead guitar.

They are known for such classic albums as Shout at the Devil, Theatre of Pain, Girls, Girls, Girls, and the chart-topper Dr. Feelgood, Generation Swine, as well as their self-titled musical project.

Several of Mötley Crüe’s noteworthy songs include “Looks That Kill,” “Girls, Girls, Girls,” “Wild Side,” “Without You,” “Too Young to Fall in Love,” “Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)” and “Dr. Feelgood.”

From the actual band, Mick Mars is one of the most underrated rock guitarists of all time, and the same holds true for Nikki Sixx on bass; moreover, Vince Neil is a strong and versatile lead singer.

Mötley Crüe is the ultimate paradigm of sex, drugs and rock and roll, and despite what any naysayers say, they deserve their spot in the coveted Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The new docudrama, The Dirt, which was released on Netflix last month, sheds light into the band member’s personal lives and their music career.
