I see that Desmond Child is an inductee this year:

I can't believe Jim hasn't been inducted yet, and 1994 would have been a good year, after the success of Bat 2?
I've no idea how Jim is perceived within the industry, but I would guess as 'expensive' (LOL), and a bit of a 'rebel/renegade', and it may put these organisations off?
Could be wrong, but if Phil Collins can get in....

In regards to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, I think Meat Loaf is well overdue, but I don't think they will ever induct Meat AND Jim as a duo.
Primarily because they never were a 'duo', and Jim has always been perceived as a writer/producer, rather than a 'named act'.
I don't think Meat would appreciate sharing the honour, either?
However, if he ever does get inducted, you would hope he calls Jim up onto the stage.
