    You didn’t think we were done with the Germans did you? We return to the “Fatherland” where we have a band (unlike our number one choice, Kraftwerk) that had true international success and is considered one of the top acts to come out of Continental Europe.

    if being the best German rock and roll band in the world is like being the world's tallest midget, then these guys stood tall.

    I like the Scorps a ton. Not sure theyd be the first choice. Others have waited longer, with a deeper track record. Still a strong German candidate.

    How can one of the most world wide popular bands on this earth, be so underrated. Most people do not know the history of this band. Fact is, they were very influential in the Heavy Metal/Hard Rock scene. This is just another one of those injustices so very frequently found in that joke of an institution called the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

    Never have been overly impressed with their work. There are several bands in the U.S. and Europe that are more deserving of induction to the HOF than these guys.

    Anybody who doesn't think Scorpions belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame clearly knows nothing about rock and roll or Scorpions. Look at some of the other bands that have made it. Blondie, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Are you kidding me? Scorpions are INTERNATIONAL superstars. To this day they play in sold out arenas all over the world. Go to SE Asia and people have never heard of Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones, but if you mention Scorpions .... EVERYBODY knows them. Very few bands have had the world wide following that Scorpions have. ZZ Top is in the Hall of Fame and Scorpions arent?? Incredible !!! I would like to hear one legitimate argument of why ZZ Top should be in and not Scorpions. If it wasn't for their beards and MTV, nobody would've even cared about ZZ Top.

    I saw them in concert in the 1980's.  Scorpions are one of my top three favorite bands.  With songs like "The Zoo" and "Animal Magnetism" they put on such a great show!By the way, have you listened to any of their music from the 1970's?  A different style from when they put out in the 1980's.   I prefer their 80's style though.

    Simply one of the Best Rock bands of all TIME. Their new release Humanity-Hour 1 is their best album in a long time. HH1 is AMAZING from beginning to end. Every song on it is KILLER ! If you don't own it yet go get it. You will not be disappointed.

    Revelation 9:3 ... unto them was given power, as the Scorpions of the Earth have Power. The distinctive Scorpions style came from the combination of two electric guitars, a fusion of fabulously forceful power riffs with dazzlingly exuberant guitar solos. Added to which was the instantly recognizable voice of singer and front man Klaus Meine with his highly expressive and polished delivery. Hits such as Rock You Like a Hurricane, Bad Boys Running Wild, Big City Nights, The Zoo, No One Like You and their masterpiece Still Loving You; of which the critics struggled for Superlatives. Backed with an International Reputation ( World Wide ) boasting over 60 million Album Sales, 30 Platinum Albums and 78 Gold Records is proof of the Teutonic Trio's Supremacy! It's hard to argue with Succe$$.
