[a fool in paradise]

For your review:

I’m no disco fan, but Chic certainly deserves it more than many acts that are already in. Their influence was huge.

[Revolting cat!]

Elvis facepalm at these choices!

[DemforBush]

I’m pulling most for Deep Purple (why the heck have they waited this long?), Peter Gabriel, and Link Wray. All three should have been in long before now, IMHO.

No strong feelings about Hall and Oates, Yes, Linda Rondstat, or KISS. Like H and O, but don’t feel like they HAVE to be one of the acts who gets in this time around.

Disagree with the nominations of The Replacements, NWA, and LL Cool J.

As Lux Interior says in an interview on Youtube, that’s rock, art or something, that’s not rock and roll!

“Artists become eligible for the Hall 25 years after the release of their first recording.”

It seems strange to consider that Elvis was dead before he would have been eligible. I was a teenager when Elvis died and I thought he was ANCIENT!

Every time I read about this ‘Hall of Fame’ I’m reminded of a sign I once saw driving Highway 17 to Santa Cruz, directing drivers to THE Artichoke Hall of Fame. It’s as importaint.

No ELO is also a travesty.

The fact that this guy is NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, nor was he even mentioned in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of top 100 Guitarist of all time tells me all I need to know about the R&R Hall of Fame and why I haven't visited the museum, nor read the publication, in about 20 years ...


The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should be renamed the R&B/Hip Hop/Funk/RAP/Politically Correct Hall of Fame.

[Windflier]

Any Rock & Roll Hall of Fame that doesn’t include Robin Trower is a fraud.

[rollo tomasi]

The #1 reason why Jan Werner's "museum" is a fraud and facetious based on one riff alone



I mean come on (And they had plenty of other successes too, but that riff itself Jan Lol, what a putz)

[rollo tomasi]

Sorry, meant to say “facetious legacy...”

Rock and Roll is a rip off of negro church music. An obscene looting of a cultural expression."

While the very idea of a Rock and roll Hall of Fame is ridiculous to begin with, there is something called the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, that at the very least will introduce you to some interesting artists who never met the requirements of the corrupt recording industry machine for big stardom and often enough put to shame those who have.

On any given night, any band can be the greatest band in the world. I saw the Replacements do it. Their version of the Marine Corps. Hymn was rockin’. When Westerberg came on stage in a t-shirt and jeans, some going-to-pot former frat boy with a flat-top and a pony tail said “Get a haircut.” Fack off, fratboy!
