Today, the 2014 inductees to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame were announced. Among those being inducted were KISS, Hall & Oates, Nirvana, Peter Gabriel, and Linda Ronstadt.
However, one inductee just ruined the whole thing for me: Cat Stevens, or...as he prefers to be known now...Yusef Islam.
How could the RRHOF make such a grievous error? Do they not know that the evil cult that he supports who have them all executed for the very thing that they personify?
Another muzzie.
This year's induction is in Brooklyn, NY. That's right....the Rock Hall doesn't even get to have the induction in Cleveland every year.
I put them in "joke" status when their Women in Rock display included a Carrie Underwood concert outfit.
Kiss-the very definition of parody.
Soul isn’t rock.
There’s a lot of acts in the RRHOF that belong in the Soul or R&B halls of fame.
Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss?
This from the guy who supported the death fatwa against Salman Rushdie. Well, everybody changes, and not always for the better. Nowadays it's Suicide Bombers For Peace...
All of what he said: Shaqiyya.
Never, EVER trust a muslim.
As long as Grand Funk Railroad is not in the RRHOF, it is a big fat joke.
YUCKO!
RRHOF has the significance of the ol’ album collection stored in the attic.
After Lennon/McCartney, they are the most sold writing duo.
Yea...roch has no relation to blues either I suppose?
Kiss is indeed parody...done right. Wearing lumberjack shirts and mumbling isn’t doing it right. It’s looking like a dweeb even though there was money in it.
Kiss entertained. Nirvana did...not sure what.
What?! Now hold on just a minute! Linda Ronstadt is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!??!?!!!!
I agree.. nice tunes. I think he was overwhelmed by success and just went the opposite to a shut in, up tight, hateful disciplined religion that is the antithesis of the 60’s .
I recall when he turned moslem people piled up his records and ran them over with bulldozers
I thought induction into the RRHOF was for a lifetime contribution to rock - or a game changer.
Cat was all that for an album or two but he hasn’t been heard from as a recording artist since about 1972.
Pandering to his Muslim-ness, IMHO. If that is the basis, add in Obama for his audio of his bio.
Indeed.
The music from pre-Islam insanity is remarkable. But I do get your point (about Stevens).
Journey. One of the best bands ever. I wonder the same thing.
