Peter Frampton's induction is about 23 years late.
They all have one thing in common. They all suck.
The rock and roll hall of fame has become a joke. It’s funny that the hip hop and r&b crowd would be inducted. It’s actually quite telling. If I was them I would decline, but as we all know they have no shame, only self-promotion.
Dionne Warwick, is great, but she is MOR or light jazz/pop, not Rock and Roll. She sang Burt Bacharach tunes! I believe neither Connie Francis nor Neil Sedaka are in. Both should be.
Went to the Hall of Fame years ago...about 15 years ago. Didn’t see much because I was in desperate need of a new hip. But I did get to see Janis Joplin’s psychedelic Porsche.
“Peter Frampton’s induction is about 23 years late.”
You feel like I do.
Mariah Carey is not rock and roll.
Foreigner is only in after Sir Paul McCartney made a stink about it.
“Dionne Warwick”
Great singer but definitely not rock and roll.
“A Tribe Called Quest”
In no way are they deserving.
Mary J. Bilge?
Where is The group “Love”?
Gerry and the Pacemakers, Seekers, Gordon Lightfoot, Wibury Brothers, Tom Jones, Alvin Lee, Joe Cocker..Fifth Dimension, Monkees, Paul Revere & Raiders, all not in. IIRC...
Didn’t Cher have a melt down on Kelly Clarkson, because she had not been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I believe she said she would not accept it now.
Actually, most of America really doesn’t give a damn
Jimmy Buffett- .....rocker? Yeah- beach and sailboat bubble gum music. What a musical joke. Were it not for the few real songwriters he covered songs on he was and will always be a hitlery loving pothead (oh, and almost forgot at the same time DEA naro informant, the DEA owned all of his planes) marketer of crap. A rocker he is not. This is about money of course.
Cher? Maybe if they had a category for dance club music; but Rock? No.
Rock? What a joke.
With all of the non-rock acts that are in the Hall, why haven’t The Monkees in? They are certainly a better band than some of the ones they are letting in. Maybe they’re waiting for Mickey to die before including them.
