Peter Frampton's induction is about 23 years late.
They all have one thing in common. They all suck.
The rock and roll hall of fame has become a joke. It’s funny that the hip hop and r&b crowd would be inducted. It’s actually quite telling. If I was them I would decline, but as we all know they have no shame, only self-promotion.
Dionne Warwick, is great, but she is MOR or light jazz/pop, not Rock and Roll. She sang Burt Bacharach tunes! I believe neither Connie Francis nor Neil Sedaka are in. Both should be.
they have no shame, only self-promotion.
But at least no one was a shooting participant, so far.
Dr Hook isn’t in.
J, Geils Band isn’t in.
Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson are ??
(I like Dolly and Willie, but neither are rock singers !!)
Went to the Hall of Fame years ago...about 15 years ago. Didn’t see much because I was in desperate need of a new hip. But I did get to see Janis Joplin’s psychedelic Porsche.
who knew the key role of the hip joint in visual acuity lol
Went there 5 years ago, was not that impressed, basically a big Hard Rock Cafe. Drove down 40 miles to Canton to the NFL hall of fame, much better experience.
Grand Funk still isn’t in.
“Peter Frampton’s induction is about 23 years late.”
You feel like I do.
Mariah Carey is not rock and roll.
Foreigner is only in after Sir Paul McCartney made a stink about it.
Why not Styx?
“Dionne Warwick”
Great singer but definitely not rock and roll.
“A Tribe Called Quest”
In no way are they deserving.
Couldn’t walk...I was all but chair bound and in agony for 12+ months. Went with my nephew and he saw a lot.
“They all have one thing in common. They all suck.”
Al of them put together can’t suck as bad as Dave Matthews.
