Rock and Roll HOF

[cmd24]

It's that time again...the nominees this year are:
Bon Jovi
Kate Bush
The Cars
Depeche Mode
Dire Straits
Eurythmics
J. Geils Band
Judas Priest
LL Cool J
MC5
The Meters
Moody Blues
Radiohead
Rage Against the Machine
Rufus featuring Chaka Khan
Nina Simone
Sister Rosetta Tharpe
Link Wray
The Zombies

Who do you think gets it? Any snubs that you see? I see they are still crapping on Def Leppard and Iron Maiden. I believe Stone Temple Pilots and 311 were both eligible this year. I suspect that Bon Jovi, The Cars, LL Cool J (don't like the idea, but hard to keep him out when you've put in PE, Tupac, etc.), and then hopefully Rage. I'd like to see Judas Priest make it, but I just don't know what to expect out of the hall. They've typically stayed away from metal bands, up until the last few years. You could probably make a case for Depeche Mode, The Eurythmics, the Moody Blues, and Radiohead. Maybe even MC5, given their influence on so many bands. Seems to be the deepest group in a few years, I believe.

The RnRHOF has been a joke for years and years. It's not about who deserves it, but more about who's records can we bump this year and which record companies will rake in the bucks.

[Verle]

NT speaks da truf.

[flexbuffchest]

Radiohead... Rage.... Damn I feel old...

Abe's 1000th post. :abe:

Do I win something? Dammit, this is just like KFAN's site isn't it...

This is all I got


Sorry

[Donovan McNabb]

Radiohead went from very good tunes to full blown suck.

A $5 gift certificate to Froob The Restaurant.

I think I can throw in a pair of Rick Berg's used underwear. I won a pair at Abe's old site.

If Judas Priest doesn't make it they should just shut the whole damn thing down.

[Beef Supreme]

If Judas Priest doesn't make it they should just shut the whole damn thing down.

As a metal fan, I'm torn whether I want them to make it because I feel they deserve it or if I like metal's "outsider" appeal and don't want them in.

Beefy, how can you be torn about the first band to go all metal all the time? if Metallica is already in before them, that is a crime.

I'm not torn about their greatness. I'm torn about whether I even want validation from the mainstream about it.

[Qman65]

You'll never get their validation because every rock station other KNAC never played them on the airwaves. They deserve to be there based on what they did without mainstream radio airplay.

The Rock and Roll HoF sucks. If it's the rock and roll hall of fame, make it for rock artists. They put Tupac and NWA in there the last couple years. Say what?

Some of the earliest ones were shaky as well. Bo Diddley or Big Joe Turner certainly made sense in either being a fantastic artist that used rock elements like Diddley, or Big Joe Turner who was a jump blues singer that was one of the most immediate influences on rock and roll.

Marvin Gaye and Aretha Franklin though...no. And it has only gotten worse. It's lame.

Burn it to the ground and make a music hall of fame!

Make the Music HOF have different wings with 3 nominees in each wing every year.

I agree. It's kinda silly to have a hall of fame for an art form. You can't really judge art in that way. If anything, this is a record industry hall of fame.

That being said, I do enjoy watching the induction ceremony every year. It's fun. And if I ever go to Cleveland I plan to visit the hall of fame.

You're just mad that The Cult will never get a sniff. You should worry about making your ex spousal payments. Oh, your future sucks!

Huh?

[Tommy_Hawk]

IMO, none of those bands deserve nomination into the Hall.

It should be like Baseball, if they dont get enough votes they dont get in. Nobody should get in by default.

I've never really thought much about what they consider "rock and roll." Most of the groups going in are trash.

[cmd24]

Dire Straits
The Moody Blues
The Cars
Bon Jovi
Nina Simone
Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Once again, Priest gets snubbed. Was a little surprised that Rage didn't make it, but it's probably not a huge deal, as they likely make it in the next few years anyway.

Why Sister Rosetta Tharpe Belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
The guitar-playing, gospel-singing sensation paved the way for Elvis, and influenced everyone from Miranda Lambert to Bob Dylan

Gripe all you like about deserving acts overlooked by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but no artist has been more overdue for recognition than Sister Rosetta Tharpe, whose induction into the Hall's "Influences" category was announced this morning. A queer black woman from Arkansas who shredded on electric guitar, belted praises both to God and secular pleasures, and broke the color line touring with white singers, she was gospel's first superstar, and she most assuredly rocked.

glad the rock and roll HOF finally did the right thing and put sister rosetta in. better late than never.

How many times did you point out she was a Gospel performer?
R & R HoF..

[Qman65]

Bon Jovi was bound to get in at some point anyway, why now?

[Qman65]

So ask Metallica if Judas Priest should be in the HOF before them. I can be 100% sure they would agree.
