ScarletMacaw Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 We can vote on nominees: http://rockhall.com/voting/2015-rock-hall-nominees-fan-vote/ I'm incredulous that NWA is nominated. How are they a rock band? Several other dubious entries also. Quote

Charles J. White Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Bands that have been around for 30 or 40 or 50 years who have sold millions of albums must laugh when they are ignored and NWA and Green Day is given the pass via Rolling Stone Magazine and Jan/Yan/Gan whatever his name is, what a joke. To actually ignore internationally known and recognized bands make this the hall of shame. What a farce. Quote
Sathington Willoughby Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Hey I like NWA! and I know it's uncool to like Green Day but obviously millions are buying their records. Quote
Charles J. White Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Hey I like NWA! and I know it's uncool to like Green Day but obviously millions are buying their records. I like Green Day as well, but what's not cool is they are being tapped to get in before bands that have been around much longer, who have sold more albums, and played more shows and in some cases bigger shows. The whole rock n roll hall of fame is a farce. Quote

Sathington Willoughby Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Probably April Wine.... um... who? (Goes to Google April Wine) oh, I see, they're from Charles neck of the woods... lol Quote
chillumpuffer Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Probably April Wine.... Oh you are a wag Walt? Crash Test Dummies? Quote
chillumpuffer Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 um... who? (Goes to Google April Wine) oh, I see, they're from Charles neck of the woods... lol I saw them in Manchester in 1980 (i think). They had the required attire and had long hair. In fact I thought they were pretty good live. Though then again I thought REO Speedwagons live album was good Quote
Sathington Willoughby Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Are they worth checking out? Quote
chillumpuffer Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Are they worth checking out? Probably best to YT them or Spotify them. Quote
Sathington Willoughby Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Probably best to YT them or Spotify them. Any recommendations? Quote
chillumpuffer Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Any recommendations? No SW, I never owned an Album by them. They came over here as Heavy Metal had a resurgence in the UK @ 1979 / 1980. Think Def Leppard, Iron Maiden etc. Chalks will recommend stuff by them Quote
Charles J. White Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Has Deep Purple been inducted yet? And I'm not even a fan of the Purple, but the whole things is silly. It's a farce Edited October 9, 2014 by Charles J. White Quote
clw Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I agree, clw. NWA? I have never heard of half the bands...like I have said before,one day all the great bands from the 60's and 70's will be gone.... Quote
clw Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Probably April Wine.... I listened to a lot of April wine back in the days..any of you heard of lake,they only had a couple albums,I really like them,they are from germany and I think they still play in clubs there Quote

lynxwizard Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Has Deep Purple been inducted yet? And I'm not even a fan of the Purple, but the whole things is silly. It's a farce Nope, they should have been in 20 years ago, what a joke Quote
SandraAnn Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Moody Blues also never inducted - their concept albums were considered prog rock. Many of their songs hardly fit into this category - Nights in White Satin, I'm Just a Singer in a Rock N Roll Band, Gemini Dream, Say it With Love and countless others. Like you say, what a farce!

tyler19 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 In general the RnRHOF has done a horrible job of differentiating between bands that deserve mention in the museum for having one seminal album, see NWA and bands that are truly HOF worthy. Say what you will about Green Day but they are one of the few bands with multiple 10+ million selling albums. They've been popular over a long period of time with new music driving much of that popularity. They helped bring so-cal punk to the masses. I may prefer Joan Jett but I am not going to kid myself about who has had the larger impact on music and people. Quote

I remember Time Bomb being a song she played quite often. Quote
