Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 2023 Inductees

[paulinstl 296]

In the performer category the group includes Kate Bush, Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott, George Michael, Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine and The Spinners.

 

About time to rename it to Average Music Hall Of Fame.

[Strike 5,182]

Yeah, that is a pretty underwhelming group of inductees.

They're a very good band, but maybe not HOF. Best of the bunch for sure.

I would put them in the HOF.  They were evolutionary, and have tons of hits.

Another year and The Guess Who has still yet to be even nominated for the RARHOF. A slew of hits and very much part of the soundtrack of the mid-late 60s to early 70s,

And I didn't see guitar great Rory Gallagher on the above list. No, he didn't have a hit record, but his album sales have totaled 30 million worldwide and if talent alone were a qualification, he would have made it in his first year of eligibility.

Rage against the machine. Lol. Rich kid pousers.  More like Rage For The Machine. Straight clowns.

From that list I’d want for numerous reasons 

Badfinger 

Boston

Devo

Eno

Geils

MC5

The Monkees

New York Dolls

Harry Nilsson

Oasis

Iggy———————this is a travesty that he’s not in

Thin Lizzy

Warren Zevon

Although I don't agree with it, I understand the reason for Thin Lizzy's exclusion.

First of all, they are regarded in this country as a "one hit wonder" with The Boys Are Back In Town. They had a half dozen other songs in the UK in the Top 20, but outside of TBABIT, they never cracked the Top 50 on this side of the pond. And their only Top 20 US LP was Jailbreak that only reached #18.

Secondly, they peaked both creatively and commercially with Jailbreak or arguably before that. Their output after Jailbreak had its moments, but quality seemed to steadily diminish after that release.

 Finally, Phil Lynott was pretty much considered by the public as the centerpiece of the band and while some reunions were attempted after his premature demise, it just wasn't the same without, Lynott, nor could it be IMO.

A lot of deserving bands on that list. 

Robert Plant ought to be in there for his solo work. He certainly deserves it more than Stevie Nix, who got in.

[BeenHereBefore 1,452]

Pete Rose snub again.

She had to blow some dude. I don’t think Plant wants to get in that badly

I agree with your assessment but their twin guitar sound is their Trump card for me

St. Louis wishes it was an average crime city. But no, they are the liberal run murder capital of the country. That's some serious domination right there.

I don't think he does much, either. He's had a pretty remarkable, adventurous solo career, much more than Jimmy Page, who hasn't realy done all that much, alghough I'd like to hear whatever he has stuffed away in a vault.

 

[BunnysBastatrds 2,307]

The Cult 

Dio

Iron Maiden

INXS

Billy Idol

Ozzy

Iggy Pop

Scorpions

And many more. No cred. 

 

 

[BunnysBastatrds 2,307]

Styx?

 

 What a fawking joke.

Willie Nelson should def be in a Hall of Fame.

George Michael has sold like 100 million albums that gets him in this thing.

Rage was like a Jamal Charles type I think. They had members go on to do other stuff like Audioslave. They should be in.

 Don’t let it tear us apart.

 They wrote some really good songs, like Huey Lewis, REO Speedwagon, and Billy Sqire did, all not in. Dumb place that I’m sure is full of incredible memorabilia and incredible photos, but they have zero credibility. 

[thegeneral 2,883]

Scorpions seems like a big reach.

 Missy Fat Ass Ugly Ho Elliot is in but… Sade isn’t in?

Missy Elliot is a no for me. Same for Sade.

Scorpions are pretty meh to me but looking it up they sold about 100 mil so that gets them in. Def will scoot right past their interactive in the museum

Hey. It's 100% on you liberal idiots that all the dem run cities are so violent. You are the dopes that keep voting them in.

Liberals are so stupid.

Shut up, sit down, and stop being stoopid you moron. Uncle Ted Nugent should be in for three. Ambit Dukes, solo, and Night Ranger. All good.

 

And let’s not get back into the idiocy of bringing politics into fun threads.

This thread is recycled crap and you know it. It's always the same old whiners complaining about some bands not meeting their "I'm the only one who knows what's good" standards. 

It's one massive subjective pat themselves on the back self love fest that upsets the music retards out there who grew up stoned and ended up brain dead opinionists in their old years.

[thegeneral 2,883]

It’s wild that Iron Maiden aren’t in. Not even anywhere near my top bands but they are def Hall of Fame worthy

We have this thread every year and I don't know why. You'd think the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would be run by people who actually know and like rock and roll.

halls of fame are so dumb.  every one of them eventually will devolve into letting anyone who was above average in.  or average even.
