I always get UFO and UB40 mixed up... hee hee!
Dick Dale was a Duane Eddy wannabee.
Yup, but mine's a little slower than yours.
The Disco hall of fame more like it. Puke.
Are the Trashmen in the Hall of Fame yet?
Will Madonna accept her nomination with a British accent or a Michigan slang?
Ventures are a good pick . Everyone knows real surf music has no time wasting lyrics .
His politics will probably keep him out at least until Jann keels over.
Ian Hunter...where are you?
They deserve a hall all of their own.
They’re still playing too.
Exactly...this is bul**hit...Madonna???..rock?? yet Yes or Genesis isnt in...give me a break!
Duane Eddy was a Link Wray wannabe.
UFO
’ Strangers in the Night’
Best live album, ever. The reviews don`t lie :

“Amazing. John Cougar Mellowcrap is nominated and Buddy Holly isn’t in. That’s embarrassing, even for the recording industry.”
Actually, Buddy is in, but they left his Crickets (band) out. Ditto with Springsteen — he’s in, but the E Street Band is out.
“They deserve a hall all of their own. They’re still playing too.”
And they never made a penny off the song “Surfin Bird.” Damn those “O pa pa Ooo mow mow” guys!
Shhhh we aren’t supposed to notice how those statements about the Monkees “they don’t write their own songs”, “they don’t play their own instruments” were also true of Motown and many other hit machines.
None of those artist are real rockers with the exception of the Venturas if it’s the same Ventuas of old ! the Beastie Boys are scrapp [ screaming rapp ]... Mellonhead I like his first album untill he opened his mouth about America and the war now i’ll set it in the Yard sale one day ! lol
