When everybody gets in it ends up meaning nothing to anybody, and that’s what’s happening to the RRHOF.
How many get chosen?
Barry Manilow ain’t in.
I think it is five to seven based on the ballets.
Where’s Bad Bunny? (Asking for a friend).
The only one on that list of nominees I think is truly a Hall of Famer is Phil. The rest still have some chops to earn.
He’s in a separate wing, the sodomite wing.
Come on, man. Joy Division. They are dark and brooding.
He has plenty of company.
Still no Grand Funk Railroad. THE RRHOF is a sad joke.
👍
Styx and REO Speedwagon.
Pathetic.
Better get Phil in this year, because he may not be around much longer.
No J. Geils Band or Dr. Hook either.
“The only one on that list of nominees I think is truly a Hall of Famer is Phil. The rest still have some chops to earn.”
Jeff Buckley might have earned his spot if he had survived.
My two omissions are Johnny Rivers and Jethro Tull.
25 years after your first commercial recording. But I think he is a shoe-in. Fabulous!
I think the committee is down on the flute.
