Wow Wenner is finally willing to acknowledge prog-rock. Of course then he ruins it by putting Geffen, one of the biggest sleazes in the industry, in the list too.

GENESIS? Rock n’ roll? Are you kidding me? Or, like my friends from the Royal Navy once said of Phil Collins: “Eees a *@@()$# wankah, he is!”

Surprisingly not making the cut were KISS...

KISS, for all their pomp and puffery, ought to be in the HoF. Same for Styx.

I’m surprised it took so long for ABBA to get in. They have been number 2 on the all-time record sales list for a long, long time. By comparison, the other nominees are not even close.

Not sure about Genesis.

Abba sold tons of records and helped to create the so-called "europop" sound. I'd take them over Madonna anytime. Stooges? Yes.

The Hollies were long overdue for this honor - a great band who I saw in Dayton, OH on their "Bus Stop" tour. Played in basement of a large shopping center with a 12" high stage.

Trivia...their song "I Can't let Go" was written by Chip Taylor, the brother of Jon Voight (and not the one with the Chrysler)

Nice little gem from their "I Can't let Go album - "Fifi the Flea" (Graham Nash on lead vocal)

2004:

NYT reports today that Congress's new omnibus spending bill has made major cuts in the National Science Foundation (you know the folks that helped bring us browsers, Google and some other things less important like bioinformatics, mathematical research, etc.). The budget is down $105 million from last year and $272 million less than even President (Creation) Science requested.

Barry Mann and Ellie Greenwich (and possibly other non-performers) were performers, dude!
