“Still no Grand Funk Railroad!”

Or Steppenwolf, the Easy Rider soundtrack and then some.

[rmccullo]

Foreigner has sold about 50MM albums, too. And have many more actual Rock hits than Sheryl Crow. So...why haven’t they been nominated?

Warren Zevon “The Wind” went gold in 2003.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

List stinks. Only The Spinners (I’ll be Around) and George Michael (in Wham - Wake Up Before You Go, Careless Whispers, and Last Christmas) are enduring. Cindy Lauper is a good third. The rest,largely forgettable except Cheryl Crow and Kid Rock duet in I Put Your Picture Away, and by herself, “All I Want to Do” is dance.

Zevon
Maiden
Joy
Soundgarden

Joy in particular
Monumental band and as homage to the poor lead singer Ian Curtis fitful short life
Basically epilepsy fits all day every day
He ended it himself terrified over the upcoming first USA tour the night before the plane ride

Make no mistake they made New Order and Love and Rockets and the Cure and Depeche Mode Radiohead even U2 et al happen

In my opinion anyhow
You had to be there I guess

I love it band can you tell lol

Rage?
I like the sound but de la Rosa is insufferable and Morello overrated for distortion tricks

[Red Badger]

We need a FReeper Hall of Fame!......................

[MarDav]

No King’s X?

[Red Badger]

We must remember the R&R HOF is now a political arm of the DNC................

[MarDav]

I know, I know. But, man, Kings X…

[Red Badger]

If they have ever uttered a single conservative word or phrase, they will not get into the HOF, ever.

Notice who else is ‘Not There’..................

[Golden Eagle]

So, 2 out of 20:are actually rock bands?

[Red Badger]

Depends on the definition of ‘rock’...............

[Golden Eagle]

NO definition of ‘rock’ should include Cindy Lauper, in my humble opinion. YMMV, lol. ;-D

[spankalib]

Thanks, I didn’t know all that, but I do remember her from childhood & parent’s radio.

[subterfuge]

Wow. I assumed Steppenwolf was in.
