Okay, I guess I'll reply. You won't get much response to your topic, you are clearly out of touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtazy Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 It's not about the bands one likes, it's about their contribution to rock 'n roll music. I don't think there are too many performers that shouldn't have been added to the list, they all had their part ; But there are probably some bands that deserve a place there but didn't get it.

electricmage Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Should: Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, any others? Shouldnt: Well personally I dont like Pink Floyd or The Beatles but any others? The Beatles and Floyd don't deserve to be in the RRHF because you don't like them? You are a dumb SOB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickZepp Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Madonna doesn't deserve to be in there, I'm not sure if Michael Jackson deserves to be in there either. I don't consider either Rock and Roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickZepp Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Here's who should be in. Jeff Beck The Doobie Brothers Alice Cooper Arthur Lee/Love(Just ask Robert Plant) Yes Moody Blues Judas Priest Chicago Deep Purple Hollies Guess Who Joe Cocker JJ Cale Leon Russell Journey Thin Lizzy Bachman Turner Overdrive Kingsmen I can probably think of about 50 others.

NickZepp Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Forgot a couple more Steppenwolf and Hoyt Axton as an influence at least. Anyone that writes about Jerimiah being a bullfrog gets my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not like them, but the Beatles especially - you can't deny the profound influence they had on music which to me is part of the criteria for being inducted.

It is a large part of why artists are inducted. http://www.rockhall.com/inductees/induction-process Performers Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria include the influence and significance of the artists’ contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reids Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Whether you like them or not.... KISS , Journey, RUSH ... should all be in the RNRHOF... The following shouldn't: Madonna (what a joke.... not even rock) Also, some recent very localized NY New Wave/Punk Bands that were inducted shouldn't be in before those above and many more not listed yet... (only the Ramones and Talking Heads should be in... and Blondie, too) The woman who sang Springsteen's cover of "Because The Night" (Patti Smith shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame (what a joke... she didn't sell many records, only had one single and she didn't even write it, she didn't make international fame and she certainly can't sing)... The Cars should also be in the RNRHOF... R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxwizard Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Deep Purple should of been in a long time ago. Some other great bands worthy IMO, Rainbow, Steppenwolf, Foghat, J Geils and the Guess Who. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her lyrics are really quite something. Selling lots of records doesn't equate to being a good musician as evidenced by people like Britney Spears and I would certainly NOT put her in the HoF when she's eligible.

Jahfin Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Whether you like them or not.... KISS , Journey, RUSH ... should all be in the RNRHOF... I imagine it'll be a cold day in hell before Journey are ever inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame and for good reason, just who did they influence? The following shouldn't: Madonna (what a joke.... not even rock) Also, some recent very localized NY New Wave/Punk Bands that were inducted shouldn't be in before those above and many more not listed yet... I'm curious as to what bands you're referring to. Here is the complete list of inductees so far: http://www.rockhall.com/inductees/inductee-list (only the Ramones and Talking Heads should be in... and Blondie, too) The woman who sang Springsteen's cover of "Because The Night" (Patti Smith shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame (what a joke... she didn't sell many records, only had one single and she didn't even write it, she didn't make international fame and she certainly can't sing)... That's a very strange way of wording that especially since it was a co-write by Springsteen and Patti Smith. As for the amount of records she's sold, that isn't even part of the criteria for induction, it's influence. If record sales mattered then you wouldn't even see bands like the Velvet Underground in there. And, just what does "international fame" have to do with anything? Not to even mention the fact that she is indeed internationally known. I guess you've never heard of the concerts she's performed in Paris and other locales around the world over the years. I'm not even going to touch "singing ability" as that also doesn't have anything to do with the criteria for induction. Hell, I'm not even a big Patti Smith fan myself but her influence on tons of artists is undeniable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Patti Smith shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame Patti Smith's original song, has a lot of heart, soul and passion. It rocks. Song Lyrics: "Because the Night" Recorded by: "Patti Smith" Written by: (Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen) Album: "Easter" Released - March 1978 Take me now baby here as I am Pull me close, try and understand Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe Love is a banquet on which we feed Come on now try and understand The way I feel when I'm in your hands Take my hand come undercover They can't hurt you now, Can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to love Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Have I doubt when I'm alone Love is a ring, the telephone Love is an angel disguised as lust Here in our bed until the morning comes Come on now try and understand The way I feel under your command Take my hand as the sun descends They can't touch you now, Can't touch you now, can't touch you now Because the night belongs to lovers ... With love we sleep With doubt the vicious circle Turn and burns Without you I cannot live Forgive, the yearning burning I believe it's time, too real to feel So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now Because the night belongs to lovers ... Because tonight there are two lovers If we believe in the night we trust Because tonight there are two lovers ...

mos6507 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Madonna takes the cake as far as non-rock acts being in there. However, on her behalf, she CAN actually play guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bong-Man Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 As far as older bands, I think the Hollies have been overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelectro Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 People get hot under the collar because band X isn't there "yet". Key word is yet, they can't induct everyone at once, what would be the point of that. If there should be a complaint it's how they induct people, it's confusing. It has less to do with who deserves it in favor of who will generate the most headlines for the upcoming induction ceremony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I think The Sonics should be in the RARHOF. They have influenced the whole garag rock and punk scene. They are punk rock Gods! They were way ahead of their time. Their version of Louie Louie from '66 makes the Kingsmen's and all the other versions sound like Mel Tormé. Check out the guitar breaks and Gerry's screams, f'n fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanie_72 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Madonna doesn't deserve to be in there, I'm not sure if Michael Jackson deserves to be in there either. I don't consider either Rock and Roll. It's not about whether the artist is considered a "rock and roll" artist that sings "rock" music, but it is their contributions to music in general.

Exactly and though both were firmly rooted in pop, pop is a genre or sub-genre of R&R. Both were very influential and contributed, I say both deserve to be there. Besides if you don't like the Jackson 5, the first few MJ solo albums and the first 2 Madonna LP's there is something wrong with you . I was just jamming Borderline the other day, seriously.

Thanks man! I am still a fan of Michael's, although he has had alot of personal problems, but you cannot deny the man's talent! I also grew up with the Jackson 5 too. I am also a Madonna fan too, I think she's cool. I just love the 80's music!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
