jff Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I just have to pray now that John Mayer won't be one of the acts supporting the SRV induction.It should be Buddy Guy, but it'll probaly be Johnny Lang. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 It should be Eric Clapton, but it'll probaly be Robert Cray. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Eric Clapton isn't 1/10th the guitar player SRV was, and would probably do a fairly embarrassing job of playing Stevie Ray's stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 sadly, John Mayer could probably do a fine job at literally covering SRV's stuff. But if he opened his mouth and started doing his whisper-stroke singing and/or fracking some unsuspecting 20 year old, it just wouldn't go well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Green Day (or members thereof) inducted both GnR and The Stooges into this HoF. Just saying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 i can't wait until Iggy Azalea inducts NWA next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Iggy Azalea (if that's even his real name) will be inducting Iggy Pop, I'd presume. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I don't get the Joan Jett induction, but that's just me. I have no problem with Green Day being inducted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I don't understand the RnR HOF. Music is so subjective. It is not like sports HOFs were for the most part all you need is numbers to get in the HOF. It would fun to see a ban on anyone who used PEDs from getting into the RnR HOF. Would there be anyone in there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I am ok with Green Day getting in. I am not a fan, but they had a huge record in Dookie, another turned into a Broadway show in American Idiot. I suppose they have influenced a bunch of quasi-punk bands as well. I am with worldrecordplayer on Joan Jett - I don't get it. I love that Stevie Ray Vaughan and DT got in, but I am not sure why they got in. Saw him a few times - he could play like nobody's business.

jff Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 another turned into a Broadway show in American Idiot. That's about as un-Rock and Roll as you can get. That should disqualify them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Wait are Soundgarden in the Hall? They should def be in over Green Day/Joan Jett in my opinon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose they have influenced a bunch of quasi-punk bands as well.that's the funniest thing...there are only three 'punk' bands in the HoF ramones - 2002clash - 2003sex pistols - 2006 and now Green Day is in on the first ballot? what about Black Flag? The Damned? Stiff Little Fingers? Dead Kennedys? Bad Brains? Minor Threat? sure, none of them even came close to the commercial success of Green Day, but they made their mark in much deeper and imo more important ways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 That's about as un-Rock and Roll as you can get. That should disqualify them.Neil Young is way more Punk and/or R&R than Green Day and he staged a play to his music/concept album.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Neil Young is way more Punk and/or R&R than Green Day and he staged a play to his music/concept album....If you're referring to Greendale, that was not a play. That was a NY & CH album and tour in which with the narrative was acted out onstage. I see a world of difference between that and the American Idiot Broadway show. But even if you disagree, surely you would agree that Greendale had nothing to dowith NY getting into the hall. He earned his place in the hall before anyone ever heard of Greendale.

It's the bands that take those influences and turn it into longevity/commercial success that get into the R&RHoF. That's why we get Nirvana (but not the Pixies), Red Hot Chili Peppers (but not the Minutemen), Green Day (but not Buzzcocks/SLF), etc.etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
