Cue the obligatory annual R&R HOF scorn

[dmn23]

Mary J. Blige
Kate Bush
Devo
Foo Fighters
The Go-Go’s
Iron Maiden
JAY-Z
Chaka Khan
Carole King
Fela Kuti
LL Cool J
New York Dolls
Rage Against the Machine
Todd Rundgren
Tina Turner
Dionne Warwick

 

[Gary Blanchard]

I'll start. A totally meaningless institution. There are some good artists in that list but none gain by being included on the list or being named to the HOF.

 

[shoeless]

Nothing says Rock 'n' Roll like Dionne Warwick!

I'm with @Gary Blanchard, it's meaningless. It's really just a means to populate a museum in Cleveland. OTOH, Todd is underappreciated IMO and deserves a spot in that museum.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Foo Fighters dropped a stinker of a record last week.

LL Cool J and Jay-Z are more rock than The Go-Go's.

 

[Devil is Dill]

Put everyone in. Fuck it.

 

[GusChiggins]

I thought Tina was already in

 

[Lerxst]

Have any of them smashed a guitar lately?

 

[Tralfaz]

A couple of good things in that list, and a whole lot of Not Rock 'n' Roll.

Is it okay if I think the Foo Fighters are overrated and kind of bland? I mean, I get that Dave Grohl's a decent guy, and that it's nice that some aspect of Nirvana still perseveres into the 21st Century long after the death of Cobain, but really now.

I do admire the chutzpah of the HOF thinking they're gonna get a live musical performance from Kate Bush.

 

[Bones McHorror]

I think it is kind of hilarious how they answer critiques of rockism by absorbing all of popular music and label it as 'rock'.

But I guess if you do that anyway, then these aren't bad picks.

 

[Flamencology]

I thought Tina was already in

I think she’s already in there as a duo with Ike. At least ringing in my brain somewhere, true or false.

 

[Flamencology]

It’s kinda absurd how a few of these have been neglected for so long.

I mean, Carole King was writing hits before The Beatles and The Stones were. And yet...

 

[Andrew Sak]

I enjoy watching for entertainment purposes. I dont think it validates anything.

I have to admit I got excited when I saw the new chairman of the RRHOF was John Sykes. That thrill did not last long, as it was the wrong guy.

I will definitely tune in when Yngwie gets inducted.

UFO who?

No, you're spot on.

Colour and the Shape is a good album and a few sprinkling of cool tunes here and there. Dave does seems like a good dude though.

 

[Bones McHorror]

I do admire the chutzpah of the HOF thinking they're gonna get a live musical performance from Kate Bush.

They'll probably let Red Hot Chili Peppers cover one of her songs.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

No Priest. No Peace.

 

[Devil is Dill]

They'll probably let Red Hot Chili Peppers cover one of her songs.

She wrote very few songs about how awesome it is to live in California.

 

[DdBob]

They'll probably let Red Hot Chili Peppers cover one of her songs.

RHCP's already covered Stevie Wonder so they have the street cred to do it

 

[Devil is Dill]

"Runnin' up that hill hibby-dibby!!"

 

[DdBob]

No DIO. No Peace.

Vinny Appice, the drummer who enjoyed stints in Dio and Black Sabbath, has blasted the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for excluding Ronnie James Dio.

“I think the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame suck,” he exclaimed while talking to Jeff Gaudiosi of MisplacedStraws.com. “It’s supposed to be rock 'n' roll, and there’s people in there that’s not rock 'n' roll one bit. And just the way they do business — it took ’em that long to put Black Sabbath in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? Black Sabbath started all this heavy stuff.”
