2nd that.

What about Starlight Express? Didn't they release Afternoon Delight over 25 years ago?

As a previous poster said maybe just call it The Music Hall. It really seems that they are making it more of a marketing/money making machine (like the Super Bowl) then a tribute to the pioneers of R&R.

That's a good list. Of course that is if I gave a crap about the hall of fame anymore.

well come on guys, of course LL Cool J should be in here. the yuppies and teeny boppers don't really know who The Hollies are, and couldn't give a damn about Genesis because some of that early prog. rock is too difficult for their 2-watt brains to handle.

so as a result, the committee had to find a "popular" artist who everyone relates to so that the event will get more publicity and make a profit.

seriously, who really CARES about music anyway? especially when it doesn't stuff someone's pockets with green?

what's for dinner stray?



haha no really, you know what? i gave up getting upset over this BS. i lost hope in the world society of today. i just focus my energy on maintaining the level of culture in my own soul. if these puppets today don't care about culture, that's their problem. whatever man. i dont really do the TV thing anymore anyway. pop culture today is so stale and bland. its like living in a plastic factory.

Very nice...

Same reason I dont really watch TV or listen to radio anymore.

It is also a crime that these guys are not in there ...

Yes and the Moody Blues

Both of these bands have been around since the '60s with decades of great music provided. What a crime ...

The Dave Clark 5 definitely deserves to be there,they were on the crest of the wave when the British Invasion happened and songs like Glad All Over and Bits and Pieces are definitely pure driving classic rock and roll.I guess that Lady Gag Gag is appalled that she didn't get a look in,the way things are going maybe next year.The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has become a laughable farce,it's time that they packed it in or put in a new screening commitee.BTW how do they decide who gets in?Obviously their criteria must be very vague.

ya know dude, i dont even bother watching the Grammys or the RNR Hall of Fame things anymore, b/c its all commercialized Rolling Stone magazine bull****. Thats all, just commercialized crap, ive heard that its nothing special visiting it, the history of Atlantic Records stops at '79, its now the RNR Hall of Shame, so im glad some really good rock bands arent in there, cuz i dont want Rush to be next to a pic of LL Cool J or Grandmaster Flash. I mean we've got Rolling Stone who rated Angus Young #89 as a guitarist and Cobain at 11, they go by popularity not by influence and impact, thats why I dont pay attention to it anymore, b/c its C-R-A-P, its a shame too, so many influential artists out there that being beaten by crap/rap artists than actual musicians who sit for hours and put together pieces of music than just spit in a microphone, copy somebody else's music and remix it, and then glamorize violence and sex, like i said before, thats why i dont bother with it anymore

I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk...

When they let Madonna in I knew it was all over. They should have closed the doors after the first inductees (only after adding the Beatles,the Stones & Hendrix).

Look kids, LL Cool J is NOT rock, Donna Summer (who is a great singer) is NOT rock. ABBA is NOT rock!

What in the heck is wrong with the world today! ARGGGHH!

Here's how it should be (in no particualr order):
Chuck Berry
Little Richard
Bo Diddley
Louis Jordan
Jerry Lee Lewis
Ray Charles
Elvis Presley
Buddy Holly
Fats Domino
James Brown
Beatles
Rolling Stones
Jimi Hendrix
Booker T & the MG's
*slam*
doors closed!

as much as i would like to agree, there are still some great artists that should be in...wait....you do know that Berry was the first inducted right? I may be misunderstanding you, if i am, my bad...are these people you want in or that are already in, im a little sleepy so im a slow lol

A lot of people have been upset in recent years that some of the recent inductees have been from R&B, Motown, and Hip-Hop...

Well, if you feel that way, than what do you think about Miles Davis, Chet Atkins, James Burton, Curtis Mayfield, Etta James, Johnny Cash, Louis Armstrong, Les Paul, and Carl Perkins (to name a few) who are not "rock n' rollers" being in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame???

What people seem to not realize is that while it is called the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, they often induct non-rock musicians, like those I have listed, who may have had a huge influence on the genre even though they may not be a part of the genre.

Granted LL Cool and Donna Summer may not be as much of an influence over several genres or styles like some of the others I have mentioned, but people act like the Hall of Fame has just recently started adding non-rock acts as inductees, when they have pretty much done that from the very beginning....
