There hasn’t been any R&R since the early 70s. It’s all been just crappy noise, since.

Hometown (Milwaukee) pride! I enjoyed his telling off of the RRHOF, he made his points forcefully and succinctly.

NWA in, Jethro Tull out. Tell me how this makes any sense?

Who the Hell is GFRR? I consider myself very tuned in to rock history and never heard of GFRR.

That was PhiloBedo’s term. I assumed he meant Grand Funk Railroad.

How can Gene complain about the Rock HOF including non-rock acts? You dont consider KISS Rock and Roll?

Yes. They knew when to quit. But they were a kick ass rr group that had a following large enough to sell out Shea stadium , the Cow Palace and others.

I do. I like KISS and Gene. But Gene wants the RRHOF to only accept rock artists. A lot of rock music has its roots in jazz, blues, and gospel. I just think Gene has a case of the sour grapes here.

If it’s Steve Miller Band and Cheap Trick this year, might as well be, .38 Special and Air Supply next year. Pure mediocrity.

So, N.W.A. are in the Hall of Fame and The Moody Blues and ELO are not.
What a complete and utter joke.
To: nickcarraway
Why would a dud like Steve Miller be inducted in the R&R HOF?

Come on! Deep Purple and Judas Priest had plenty of good music in the 80s; it was all gone by the 90s...

A lot of rock music has its roots in jazz, blues, and gospel. I can agree with that and I can also agree that an argument can be made that artist of those musical genres do not belong in a R&R museum. I believe those music genres have their own museums dedicated to their historical greats.
As far as Rap and Hip Hop go I of an opinion that they have no place or relationship to R&R. I dont even consider them music. It better described as poor poetry recited with a rhythm section backup.

I tried a couple times to listen, but just couldn’t. It wasn’t real R&R.

I like Steve Miller music, but I have no idea who or what N.W.A. might be.
