There are few things less relevant than the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[HombreSecreto]

No Nickelback? Outrage!

/s

[crusty old prospector]

Joy Division/New Order should have been years ago. Cyndy Lauper?

[Red Badger]

Yes, the Country Music Hall of Fame.............

For Warren, the $hit hit the fan long ago. Loved the Spinners, too. Are they rock and roll? I don’t know, but they put out a lot of great music.

Surprised at Warren’s nomination. His best songs weren’t politically correct: Excitable Boy, Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner, and Lawyers, Guns, and Money, to name a few.

I was hooked on him in 1979, when I went home with a waitress, while TDY in Northern Germany. Thankfully, she wasn’t with the Russians. Our time together was more in tune with Roxy Music’s “Oh Yeah”. She also loved Dire Straits.

Maybe they could just do a spin off “the One Hit Wonders Hall of Fame”.

[Red Badger]

Offut..................

[chuck allen]

I would add J. Geils Band to any HoF list. Those guys rocked and blew away most bands they opened for, including the Dio fronted Black Sabbath show I saw.

I second your nomination of Mott the Hoople, another great band whose records don’t do them justice, live they were killer and Ian Hunter solo is one of my fav artists. An English Dylan.

[Vermont Lt]

I thought Zevon was already in it.

[Vermont Lt]

I saw Anderson a couple years ago. Years of throat issues have taken a toll on his singing…but he still ripped that flute on one leg.

[Red Badger]

Maybe you were thinking of Levon Helm...........
