"The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honors the legendary performers, producers, songwriters, disc jockeys and others who have made rock and roll the force that it is in our culture." An artist becomes eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame 25 years after their first release. Pat Benatar released her first single, "Heartbreaker" 30 years ago! So, why haven't she and her husband/guitarist/producer, Neil "Spyder" Giraldo been inducted yet Their music can be heard in movie, on TV, and now in video games! They continue to have an influence on pop culture, and remain as relevant as ever - something that not many artists will ever be able to say. Lets help Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo celebrate their careers and their influence, and show them how grateful we are for rocking so hard for so long. Sign this petition to encourage the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to induct Pat Benatar in the category of "Performer" and Neil "Spyder" Giraldo in the category of "Sideman" - an honor reserved for only those studio and touring musicians who have made a significant impact. This is a gift from us, the fans, to Pat & Neil that will last forever! Thank you!

I am a huge fan and want to see them make it in to the Rock and Roll hall of fame.

Tim Stokes

My wife is a huge fan and wants to see them inducted.

So much could be said! They are the very best at what they do;their priorities were the same when they met and still are to this day. they RESPECT each other in ever way and they have always stay grounded,most importantly with their children. They are the VERY BEST in every way. To be all of the above and play music as awesome as they do, I don't understand why they are not in the Hall of Fame.

Wayne Joyce

I would sign this petition a million times over. Pat & Neil should have been inducted long ago. I am a rock and roll fanatic and Pat is my favorite female rock singer of all time, and Neil is a super talented musician. It's a travesty that they are not in the HOF. Let's get them in now!

SILVINA ARNOUIL

so many bad bands, Pat and Neil should be included, there's no explanation why they didn´t. I'm a new fan and I got amazed by such great melodies and lyrics. come on!

Kelley Stenger

It is criminal Pat has not already been indicted. Typing this from the Hall of Fame watching videos on a bunch of dudes I certainly never heard of. Poor Pat!

Cindy Hamel

Many hits and still those songs are strong today on radio as they were when they came out years ago !! Put her in the Rock n Roll hall a game !!!

Kimberly Benjamin

Couldn't believe Pay Benetar is not in the Hall of Fame. She is an amazing talent. I grew up loving her music.

CWhite

Pat Benatar NOT in the Hall of Fame yet? That's like Old Glory missing her stars, it's like Lady Liberty without her torch. Come on Rock & Roll Hall of Fame selection committee GET OFF THE POT !!!

Robert bexar

One of the greatest rock duos of out time and their nit in the hall of fame - travesty. Put them in!!

Brian Callaway

Without Pat, there is simply NO other female rock act during or after the 80's. Period.

Anthony traino

Differently pat benatar!!

Les Fulgham

Induction is long overdue. Besides the success of their songs and performances, the influence on up and coming stars, the fact that Pat and Spyder set the standard for how stars should live their life with their family and children is a huge reason they should be recognized as role models for up and coming stars.

DJ Stokes

She deserves to be in the Rock and roll hall of fame.

They need to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!! She is more of an inspiration to me than Joan Jett was. Pat kicks ass and Neil takes names!!! Get them in!!

Some of the people in the RRHOF do not deserve to be there in my opinion..but Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo should already be there. Hard to believe they're not. Ridiculous actually..

Unbelievable to recently learn that Pat and husband are not already in the R&R Hall of Fame!

Stacey Boyd

Come on really ???? Get her in she deserves it

Kimberly Lindquist

How are they STILL not in the HOF? Insanity….but it can be corrected!

Hank Groff

Are you preventing her from getting him because she still married after all these years? Do you have to be divorced in order to not make the Rock and roll Hall of fame?

Lori Indell

Pat Benatar belongs in the Rock & Roll hall of fame and it is way past time. She paved the way for so many female artists. So what the hell???
