Judas Priest deserves to be included in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, according to Rob Halford.
The English heavy metal band's frontman made his opinion clear in a new interview with NME.
"I think if any metal band deserves to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, it's Priest and beyond that, there needs to be more metal there because there's not enough," Halford said.
He added, "The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame isn't any different from those other institutions they have in America, like the one for football, where you'll always get some people complaining one player deserves to be there over another."
Despite selling over 50 million copies of their albums and frequently being ranked as one of the greatest metal bands of all time, Judas Priest failed to make the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last year.
