Definitely Heart and Joan Jett. Definitely not Randy Newman. He was a one hit wonder, and it was a stupid song.
I think I will add Heart to my list.
Randy Newman ... one hit wonder, and it was a stupid song.
I’m guessing you’re talking about “Short People.” I didn’t even realize that was him until I looked it up just now. My first thoughts were “I Love LA” (as a Celtics fan, I don’t) and “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” but that still doesn’t seem Hall-worthy. (Apparently he also wrote “Mama Told Me (Not To Come)”)
I'd agree with the 'definitely not,' but let's at least give him credit for writing "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)."
Actually, Randy Newman has written many, many hits for artists around the world, won two Grammys and several other awards, scored countless movies for Disney, Pixar and others, TV shows as well as his own recorded hits. I’m not a fan of him as a recording artist but he is a musical giant. Maybe google it to read up.
