No Bay City Rollers?

They got edged out by they Starlight Vocal Band.

Star rockets in flight ....

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

LOL. Rap really isn't my thing, but Eminem completely changed the game. He's the best-selling rap artist of all time.

You may not like him but the guy can fricking rap. Just an outstanding talent from someone who grew up in a broken home and was beaten up by blacks in his neighborhood.

Not only does he deserve to be in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, he belongs in the top 50 music artist list of all time.

The Beatles
Linda Rhondstadt
Credence Clearwater Revival
Bruce Springsteen

There’s so many…there’s just a few. It’s a cesspool of communist sympathizers.

Just saw a list of Bands that never made it into the R&R Hall of Fame. How in the hell is Jethro Tull not in the Hall?

1970 LP Benefit USA chart No. 11
1971 Aqualung USA chart No. 7
1972 Thick as a Brick, USA Chart No. 1
1973 A Passion Play USA Chart No. 1
1974 War Child USA Chart No. 2
1975 Minstral in the Gallery USA Chart No. 7
1976 Too Old to Rock and Roll... USA No. 14
1977 Songs from the Woods USA No. 8

Plus Jethro Tull wrote the song the Eagles ripped off for Hotel California.

[nickcarraway]

HMMMM - None of those are from the “last 25 years.” Those are all from the 60s to the 80s.

[shadowlands1960]

I see what you did there...

[voicereason]

Clearly the definition of “rock and roll” has either widened, deteriorated, or both.

Yes!

[shadowlands1960]

I agree... Benatar earned it... plus she’s actually rock-n-roll.

[shadowlands1960]

I love everyone of those albums, especially ‘Aqualung’ and ‘Songs from the Woods.’ I consider ‘Locomotive Breath’ to be one of the best rock songs ever, so no idea why they haven’t made it in....

[dforest]

Dolly Parton is not a rock singer and never was.

[dfwgator]

You could say that about a lot of folks already in the RRHOF.

[Texas resident]

It’s about time that Pat Benatar made it in....

Big time. I go back and watch “Promises in the dark” on youtube. Damn good song.

[sushiman]

B-52s still haven’t gotten in ! Dolly Parton ???????

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Here's Kate Bush, This Woman's Work. Song about a guy waiting to see if his wife survives a difficult childbirth. It's basically him wishing he'd done a lot of stuff differently. Like all her stuff, she wrote and produced it.

[dforest]

Sorry, but Dolly is a silent leftist. Those are who she hangs out with. You won’t hear her dispute this.

[BradyLS]

He should wear it like a badge.

When my heroes were abducted into the R&RHoF without resistance, they lost a lot of their lustre. Hang ‘em on a wall. They’re done.
