[Eric in the Ozarks]

No Iron Butterfly again this year. Damn !

[ßuddaßudd]

Bloodshot is one of my all-time favorits albums.

[SALChamps03]

Love the J. Geils Band.

"Serves you right to suffer baby. Serves you right. You gonna be alone."

Pusterfuss -- The Trashmen actually had a minor hit with a follow up called "Bird Dance Beat" that was almost indistinguishable from "Surfin' Bird." Ah, glad to know such talent was not unappreciated south of the border. You know another Minneapolis group from the mid-60s were The Castaways, who did "Liar Liar." That one I liked.

[SALChamps03]

I heard he also lives in a small town, and according to the latest news, will probably die in a small town.

[dakine]

Whatever...

Real estate taxes are a direct cause of farm failures. The local governments raise the property taxes based on the lands value to a developer, not a farmer. When the re-zoning gets passed, the taxes go up.
Farm land should be taxed at agricultural rates.

No Iron Butterfly again this year. Damn !

Yeah, the drum solo alone deserves its own special wing in the HOF. Peanut Butter Conspiracy also shut out again.

[Radioactive]

Yep...and no dead Kennedy's

[Petronski]

Rush and Yes: soundtrack of my personal hell

[My Favorite Headache]

If they have such a midwest bias...gotta wonder why Cleveland to host this dump?

[concretebob]

"You gonna live a long time" is the correct line.

[NY Attitude]

The Rivingtons?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Bird is the Word !

[Maigrey]

I saw Duran Duran back in July, and they put on a h@ll of a show (for a band having been around for 25+ years!)

It was a semi-intimate affair (~3000 people) but the show was dynamite, and they played most of their old catalogue, and it was 80's glam/video rock again!

OK, so I've been a fan for 20 years. So? 8-)

I visited the R&R HOF a few years ago with my teenage daughter. To be honest, I not a real R&R fan - I'm more of a country music fan, but I did have some favorites during my youth and I wanted to see how the HOF would recognize them. The first thing that caught my eye was the LARGE disclaimer over the ticket counters that warned you that there would be images and displays not suitable for younger viewers inside. I don't seem to recall a similar disclaimer at the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Glad there is another DC5 fan out there, Moonmad. I could listen to "Can't You See That She's Mine" anytime. How about "Anyway You Want It" and of course "Glad All Over" and "Catch Us If You Can." Just five guys who liked sports and were out for a good time. The Air Hammer Beat rules!!

[concretebob]

Don't remember that band. But I don't remember a lot of stuff.

[lunarbicep]

I’m still waiting on someone too mention the significance of today’s date in RnR history

[Senator Goldwater]

"Jann Wener, fag, has said Rush will never get in"

Don't bend over backwards for them, Jan.

When you are bending over forward.
