Rock 'n Roll HOF announces nominees

[scotchandcigar]

Jethro Tull,

Having seen them recently, I've done some digging into them; and it appears they (or maybe just Ian) don't like the HoF, and would not accept induction.

Can't believe they're not already in:
Jane’s Addiction

I like the band. But I don't think they've contributed anywhere near enough to the music industry to warrant consideration. Especially when their nomination bumps out others.

Those ass-clowns are doubling down on turning their backs on rock n roll.
Pop and hip hop ticket sales must be up.

I don't think they've contributed anywhere near enough

Fair point. I'll demote them to 'no preference'

 

[sadchild]

Can't believe they're not already in:
Cher
Kool & the Gang
Ozzy Osbourne
Foreigner

Chubby Checker & the Dreamlovers' version of Hank Ballard's The Twist went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1960. A year later, after Checker's Let's Twist Again became a top-ten hit, The Twist was re-released. In January 1962, it went to number one again. Checker has had 23 top-40 hits, eight top tens and two number ones – three number ones, if you count The Twist twice. He is still not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame – and this year is the first time he's appeared on the ballot!

Among the many other deserving artists who are still not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame are Phil Collins, Bryan Adams, Cyndi Lauper, Joe Cocker, Billy Idol, Sting, Kansas, Boston, Devo, Grand Funk, INXS, Iron Maiden, Toto, King Crimson, Mötley Crüe, Jethro Tull, Bad Company, Three Dog Night, Tears For Fears, Smashing Pumpkins, the B-52's, the J. Geils Band and Huey Lewis & the News.

Bad Company - Ha! I just posted about them in the other thread, and saw comments about how they were never inducted.

Phish - Koop is having a real good February!

Mariah Carey

IRBS rant in 3...2...1...

 

[Channel98]

I should write a parody titled All I Want For Christmas Is Induction Into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame – but she isn't worth my time and effort.

I should write a parody titled All I Want For Christmas Is Induction Into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame – but she isn't worth my time and effort.

I think I'm the only one around here who doesn't vehemently dislike her, like Janet, her earlier stuff is better (and in Mariah's case, her unplugged album is actually pretty good!) Fell off a cliff after the first few efforts, but I wouldn't dispute her being in since Janet already is.

 

[Channel98]

Among the many other artists who are not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame – but should be – are Jim Croce, Barry White, Connie Francis, Mary Wells, Weird Al Yankovic, Steppenwolf, Procol Harum, Guess Who, Blue Öyster Cult, Carpenters, Commodores, Monkees, Marvelettes, Shangri-La's, Pointer Sisters, Jan & Dean, Chaka Khan & Rufus, Dion & the Belmonts, Peter Paul & Mary and Emerson Lake & Palmer.

 

[Jon]

Put Weird Al in, and have the artists he parodied do his parody version of their songs.

 

[Listener]

The Cure had several big hits like "Love Song" and "Friday I'm In Love." They should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

They were inducted in 2019.

 

[Listener]

Oh. This tells you that I don't pay much attention to the Hall of Fame.

 

[Listener]

Many of the artists in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame are not rock & roll. They should change the name.

The thing about Mariah is that she was the biggest hit maker of the 90s. An entire decade. She’s a lock for this, if not this year, then soon.
