Green Day, Lou Reed, Joan Jett, Ringo Starr Lead 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

[Hugin]

I can’t believe that Greenday has been around for 25 years now. Makes me feel soooo old.

[EQAndyBuzz]

I also cannot believe it.

[ADemocratNoMore]

I live 15 minutes away, grew up on Rock, Prog - never went to the HOF, doubt I ever will.

[PLMerite]

Joan Jett, good.

[dfwgator]

Only reason anyone heard of Mott the Hoople was because they covered a David Bowie song.

[dfwgator]

She basically knocked off Suzi Quatro’s look.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

I’ll second the notion on Roxy Music. Bryan Ferry is a musical genius. My favorite album is Flesh and Blood, by far.

More of a Stranded or Siren guy, myself.

“Rolling Stone always hated Prog.”

Back in 1998 Rolling Stone finally got around to doing an actual article on the band RUSH.

A couple of editorials the following month:

Six pages of Rush in RS? The apocalypse cometh.
- J. Sukitch Woodland Hills, Ca

Finally, a story on Rush. Thank you. And f*** you.
- Jeff Nilsen, Boston

[PLMerite]

“She basically knocked off Suzi Quatro’s look.”

Yeah, but she looked real good in tight leather pants.

[SamAdams76]

Joan Jett?

Other than covering other people's songs, what has she ever done for rock and roll?

[dennisw]

“Yeah, but she looked real good in tight leather pants.”

You know she is lesbian — Joan Jett. She has visited the troops in Iraq and or Afghanistan

[crusty old prospector]

Hey, you forgot that rock anthem of the 80’s “Do You Want to Touch Me There.” When she divulged that she was a pervert, that song took on a whole new meaning. For me, the greatest rock band of the 80’s is Journey. Until they are in, the whole stinks worse than the BCS selection process this year.

[crusty old prospector]

I always got her confused with Pinky Tuscadero on “Happy Days.”

[PLMerite]

“You know she is lesbian — Joan Jett.”

Yeah, like I would have a shot even if she was a hetero nympho. Still good looking though.

[nascarnation]

LOL at last an honest FReeper.
I salute you!

[dennisw]

You still have a chance with her...if you are female

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Good grief - the R&RHOF is basically like the NBA playoffs - everyone who ever sold a record gets in. Who’s next - The Residents?

[SamAdams76]

Pinky Tuscadero. Girlfriend of "Fonzie" from Happy Days. Before he jumped the shark.

You brought back a memory that had to be lying dormant in my brain for at least 30 years!

Anyway, she - as well as her sister Leather - are more worthy of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame than that sourpuss one-hit-wonder Joan Jett.

[o-n-money]

Hunter was one of the most prolific writers of the 70s. He has a massive body of work. Please check his discography. If you only listen to top 40, then you only kkow “All the Young Dudes”

[crusty old prospector]

Oh yeah, I forgot about Leather. What about Lenny and the Squigtones? I wasn’t much of a Laverne and Shirley fan.
