In light of the very weak calss of 2007, I opted to look up a list of artists who are currently eligible. It makes this year's class even worse. Which ones do you think should be inducted?
See the link below for a list of all eligible artists:
http://www.futurerockhall.com/eligibles.... Pooty - the 2007 inductees are John Mellencamp, Madonna, The Dave Clark Five, The Ventures, and Leonard Cohen Kajagoogoo might as well be a first ballot lock.
ROFL @ 甯備縿鍙や汉銇樸們銇亜浜?br>
Sookie - Rest assured, it was very tongue-in-cheek. :) metallica Dear lord. Between Sting & Wham! I don't know which is worse. In fact, the only one I like from the 2007 list is the Beastie Boys, but I don't consider them "rock."
Now I'm curious to see who wins out! Dokken, Jimmy Page, Metallica, and Robert Plant Joan Jett and the Blackhearts! Dude she sung I love Rock 'N Roll! Who doesen't love that song? I can't believe they actually had the friggin Village People listed!!??!! WTF?? okay i don't even know who half those bands are and they want to put em in the hall of fame? okaaay i listen to a lot of sh*t and if i've never heard of em i'm sure a lot of you haven't either. the ones that i do know on the list...i'm not sure they deserve it except for metallica and a couple others
wow the things ppl will do for 10 points lol. dude you ought to give the chinese girl best answer lmao!
okay i've decided to name the thumbs down people "thumbers" i hate thumbers....
how the hell do you make chinese symbols on computers anyways??? beasty boys, robert plant and jimmy page. the violent femmes, sonic youth and 10,000 maniacs are some of my favourite bands, so i want them to be introduced to the hall of fame! Metallica, especially Cliff Burton - he was one amazing bassist. Jimmy page is the fist one that jumps out at me The Marshall Tucker Band, Heart, Waylon Jennings, Page and Plant, Metallica all deserve recognition!!! But my personal fave to win is Stevie Nicks, that woman can belt out a tune like no other!! Ringo, George, Yes, (& most other 70s prog bands), Rush etc ALL deserve it. I'll go with Beastie Boys (license to ill reminds me of alot of partys in the 80's) , INXS , Styx, and Motley Crue Mike, that is the most depressing link ever. Look at some of the bands that were passed up! This really sucks. Even Night Ranger!
Anyway, my dream list:
Misfits
Descendents
The Adicts (personal Bias)
MC5
Minor Threat
(Year of the Punks!)
Maybe next year:
Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Black Flag, Iron Maiden, Huey Lewis, Ozzy, Metallica, Beastie Boys
***LOL, Maybe he is just too big for that little Hall.
Question Mark: I can't stand Joan Jett. I writhe in pain at the sound of her voice/music (to answer your question). I think the band Talk Talk is deserving.
Talk Talk - "Laughing Stock" is critically acclaimed and considered an all-time classic. "Spirit of Eden" was a great album as well. They were post-rock before there was post-rock. In Alphabetical order:
Beastie Boys
Culture Club
George Clinton
Men at Work
Metallica
Sting
These groups were extremely popular in producing hit after hit in their era - whereas the others in that era listed were mostly 1 hit wonders. Who, from the list, should be in the RR HOF?
The Moody Blues
Golden Earring
Love
Big Brother & The Holding Company
Procol Harum

No, stacked up against that this Year's list isn't weak, it's
------- pathetic
The RR HOF is a joke, think I'll go puke now
Mike
Whoa Whoa Whoaaaaaaaaaaa
"Outrider" definitely does NOT suck Thank You Jimmy Page & Metallica are the only ones that really have what it takes to be inducted. Lets see....
You're right it's pretty weak. The only one I'm really passionate about at all is Sonic Youth. There are other ones that will get in (Henley, and I forgot the other couple ones) and there are others that I like that aren't really Hall of Fame bands (Men at Work for instance). Sonic Youth is the only one that I'm thinking "I really hope they make it."
Bad Brains is a name that I find intriguing.
***************
That's just for the 2007 list. I'll have to dig further down and see who else is eligible. Any of the following would make more sense than freakin MADONNA::
Yes, Steppenwolf, Styx, Rush, & Cheap Trick. From this year's list:
Night Ranger, of course. How can Jack Blades be denied?!? Is the Nuge going to start shooting?
And Shonen Knife because Japanese pop bands from the 90's are cool. Not on that list, and as such very overlooked :~
Mike Oldfield
From the list :~
Stevie Nicks
Dire Straits
Thin Lizzy
Robert Palmer
Joe Cocker
Nick Drake
Jethro Tull
*
There are probably others, but I'm basing my opinion on bands / artists where I know a reasonable amount of their work.
*Edit :~ I missed off Sting!
np: 'In My Own Time' ~ Family The people I think deserve it:
Bad Brains
Dokken
Jimmy Page (even though I don't like him)
Robert Plant " "
Metallica
Sonic Youth
Sting
Don Henley
The ones that confuse me:
Men at Work (Down Under and Who can it Be Now will get you in?)
Kenny G (we did say Rock and Roll right?)
Falco ( For his amazing Rock Me Amedeus song, and making powdered wigs cool??wtf?)
Everything But The Girl
Violent Femmes ( I like the Blister in the Sun as much as the next gal, but seriously?)
Nena (99 red balloons right? no no no..)
Culture Club (once again, ROCK AND ROLL hall of fame)
One hit wonders, (or in some cases 2 hit wonders) should never be in the running in my book.
On a different note... I would give the first gal best answer, you know, just in case... lol. In order of deservingness, IMHO
1. Metallica
2. Yes
3. Albert King
4. Dire Straits
Honorable Mention: Ted Nugent, Rush, Jeff Beck, Albert Collins
Probably some of those punk bands deserve it too (Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, etc), but I don't know them well enough to judge. beastie boys or Jimmy Page Whole heap of deserving ones. Now that the RRHOF is a total, indiscriminate free-for-all, genre-wise, why isn't Ella Fitzgerald in? Hmmmmmmmm. Anyway, pushing personal feelings aside (I don't like all these acts) and making a call on true, lasting artistic impact and/or significance, my "on-merit" list (confined to 2000 onwards) would be:
Sonic Youth
The B-52's
Peter Tosh
Mot枚rhead
XTC
Steve Earle
Swans
H眉sker D眉
Bauhaus
The Cramps
The Cure
Devo
The Fall
Afrika Bambaataa
Iggy Pop
Throbbing Gristle
Wire
Split Enz
Iron Maiden
Michael Bolton
WHAAAAAAAAAT????? I'm kind of shocked at some of the artists who haven't made it in yet... looking at the lists gave me an eye twitch...
My vote (as usual!) goes to Siouxsie and the Banshees, with a nod to Sonic Youth, the B-52s, and 10,000 Maniacs. Joy Division, too.
And ABBA's not in yet? Granted, I would call them more pop than rock, but for sheer popularity and album sales, they were a force to be reckoned with back in the day... I'd pick them before the Village People and KC and the Sunshine Band! 1. Metallica
2.Beastie Boys For sure NOT Metallica!
UMMMM.....most of the people and bands on that list are jokes....
I would say Ted Nugent....Robin Trower....Tesla....you know...people WITH talent! |
