[Voltaire 4,573]

What I learned long ago is the gatekeepers to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame don't have a focking clue what rock and roll is, so even though it's my favorite genre of music, that place and what they do there, who's in and who's out, is totally dead to me. They can go fock themselves.

DJ Yella

Dr. Dre

Eazy-E

Ice Cube

MC Ren

 

 

 

What a bunch of hacks, right? Just ask someone from Texas.

[MDC 5,933]

Anybody who says Link Wray shouldn't be in doesn't know WTF they are talking about.

You're trying to explain the musical relevancy of a bunch of black guys to one of the most racist people in the country. Do you think you're making any leeway?

Anybody who says Link Wray shouldn't be in doesn't know WTF they are talking about.

 

Who?

[NewbieJr 541]

Anybody who says Link Wray shouldn't be in doesn't know WTF they are talking about.

Is that the guy who killed Steve Irwin?

[MDC 5,933]

 

Who?

Hugely influential rockabilly / surf rock guitarist. There was a thing called music before you were born.

Some acts should be in because of their body of work. Others, simply because of their impact on the world of music. Nirvana qualifies for the latter.

Always a sure sign that RP has been owned.

I'll agree with that, but case in point being RUSH last year who had far greater body of work as well as impact. They were snubbed a very long time, just saying a lesser band like Nirvana could easily wait a few.

 

And speaking of deservedness (sp).....

 

YES & DEEP PURPLE shouldn't have to wait another minute

[edjr 5,618]

nwa is rock & roll?

 

Run DMC is already in, are they rock?

[edjr 5,618]

As much as Kiss are the biggest hacks to come along ever, considering how popular they are.

 

How can you not let them in?

 

 

 

as far as popularity. Kiss is the least talented R&R band of all time.

 

but they still should be in R&R HOF

 

 

Consistency

[Little Rusty 17]

[nzoner 936]

Deep Purple not already being in tells me all I need to know about the so called R&R HOF

[Little Rusty 17]

exactly!

Plenty of non R&R in the Rock and Roll HOF

[Recliner Pilot 61]

Consistency

Agreed.

 

You are a dumbass 24/7.

 

[Drizzay 648]

 

Peter Gabriel- close, but not enough good solo stuff

 

 

Biko, alone, is enough to get him in the hall IMO.

[Little Rusty 17]

sad but true

 

Detroit should start SOUL TRAIN Hall Of Fame as well as other cities and genres of music just to keep it real.

Simply put, The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is CRAP!!!

[Phurfur 70]

The criteria for all of the Hall of Fames (Baseball, Football, Country Music, Etc.) is so lax that they are almost meaningless.

 

When everyone is special, no one is special.

[NewbieJr 541]

 

I'll agree with that, but case in point being RUSH last year who had far greater body of work as well as impact. They were snubbed a very long time, just saying a lesser band like Nirvana could easily wait a few.

 

 

I'm not saying Rush deserved to get in or not, but they weren't impactful at all. Nirvana's Teen Spirit single-handedly destroyed the mall rock hairband crap like Poison and Motely Crue that were dominating the rock scene at the time. They changed the entire landscape of music.

I see what you mean, and what I meant was that RUSH had more impact on musicians, not the public.

 

And 80's hair bands pretty much sucked anyway so society was pretty ripe for a change.

[Herbivore 915]

The Paul Butterfield Blues Band - no

Chic - no

Deep Purple - yes

Peter Gabriel - no

Hall and Oates - no, couple good songs but mostly crap

Kiss - yes

LL Cool J - no

The Meters- no

Nirvana - yes

N.W.A. - no

The Replacements - no

Linda Ronstadt - no

Cat Stevens - yes, not my thing but too much to overlook

Link Wray - yes

YES - yes

The Zombies - No, really love a few of their hits though

Agreed with Rusty...how many kids starting playing instruments because of Rush, I know a few.

Don't you diss hair bands. I am going to see bret michaels this very evening.

So....when Dave Grohl inducted Rush into the HOF and said that without them he never would have become a musician.....ah never mind.

[NewbieJr 541]

They influenced Triumph. So I stand corrected.

[edjr 5,618]

Rush is possibly the best 3 man band of all time.
