“Get the party started” is considered a “hall of fame” song?
Pffft. Ego centric pop faddle.

I guess it took a while for people to see that Van Morrison was a songwriter of talent -- I'm glad he finally made it in!
Lady Gaga? It took no time at all to elevate her! Oh, they knew right away what an enormous talent she was! [/s]

Van Morrison absolutely. His treatment of the classic St. James infirmary is the best.

"The singer also covered the 4 Non Blondes hit What's Up in tribute to
fellow honoree Linda Perry"
What the bowel movement?!? Linda freaking Perry?
"What's Up?" is one of the worst songs ever written, and Perry can't carry a tune to save her soul.
What's up?
Nice hat, Linda. Geee-yawd!

He didn’t write St. James Infirmary.

Don’t expect to see another Gershwin recognized by the industry in our lifetime.

Sorry, never could stand Van Morisson. Like several others of the time that you were just "supposed" to like, like Steve Miller, Leon Russel, I never could stand them.
Lauper could arrange some nice stuff, but most too pop and her voice too screechy.
To: BBell
Does Cyndi Lauper have brown eyes?
To: doorgunner69
Jet Airliner wasn’t written by Steve Miller.
His band did put out a good “Live at the Fillmore” album with Chuck Berry.

But he did right the lyrics and record the song.

I’ve always felt that way about Bob Seger. I never could understand why so many people were into his stuff. I want to jab pencils into my eardrums every time I hear “Come to Pappa” on the radio.
Each to their own, of course.

Willie Dixon deserves it. And Led Zeppelin owes him some apologies.

Linda Perry is a good performer, for the type of tone she wants to set, but many of her self-written songs are clumsy, clunky and overcluttered with sound effects. Roar is but one example. And the kids eat it right up like a cat lapping milk from a dirty bowl.
