Winston Legthigh Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Ouch. Los Lobos has 0.55% of the vote. They're getting Alan Trammelled out of the HOF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Ouch. Los Lobos has 0.55% of the vote. They're getting Alan Trammelled out of the HOF.I love Los Lobos. But, not so sure that they are really a HoF-type band.What that tells me is that how awesome a band is really has nothing, or very little to do with how worthy they are of inclusion. Because, if it did, The Wolves would be a lock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I wonder if Yes will pull a KISS and perform without Jon Anderson. That would be a travesty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 The JB's should be a no-brainer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 The JB's should be a no-brainer.Agreed but it should be a sideman or backup group situation, like they did a few years ago. They should have them, Silver Bullet Bank, Crazy Horse and a few others. They should not be with the "regular performer list". btw: The nomination committee was revamped this year and I think we now have a more "rockist" ballot this year. I think they do have some fault but they are now moving in the right direction. It is tough with only 5-6 that go in each year and many have favorites. Harry Nilson (imo of course) is on the same level as many that are not in, I don't think he is a shoe in but he does have some backers. Too bad John Lennon is not alive, he would get him in. I think this is a good mix this year...I see NWA and Chicago as the only locks. Love to see Cheap Trick and the Cars. The only thing about the Cars for me is that I saw them live and they were very boring. They did have one of the best ever first records though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I see Chicago as a lock, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I'd say it's no Saturday in the park for any band to "get in," as it seems about as random as a Roulette wheel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Usually the voting is really lopsided, like 25 or 6 to 4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dagwave Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 It could be hard for me to say I'm sorry if they don't make the cut. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tinnitus photography Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Someone should start an alternate HoF.The RnR Bedroom of Fame, or something like that. They couldn't quite make it into the hall. But, boy are they sexy!Jack Rabid would be a good curator, methinks.Or the Basement of Fame: too far underground to gain the recognition they deserve.Jack's got some great musical taste and experience, but there'd be no metal bands in his HoF, and that just wouldn't be right.

John Smith Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Jack's got some great musical taste and experience, but there'd be no metal bands in his HoF, and that just wouldn't be right.There's always something objectionable regardless of who makes the decisions Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 true that. even i'd be mad at my own list of inclusions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Jack's got some great musical taste and experience, but there'd be no metal bands in his HoF, and that just wouldn't be right.Yeah. Listening to Maiden's Live After Death right now, and there is no doubt in my mind that they are HoF-worthy.But I'm guessing that they'll never be in. I mean, 4 decades of consistently high-quality music with NO extended low periods. Maybe one or two albums here or there that weren't quite up to par, but no more than that. So awesome.

Analogman Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 There are several bands that influenced Iron Maiden that need to be in there before them - such as Judas Priest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Been listening to Sin after Sin and Sad Wings this morning -- that "Last Rose of Summer" is a good tune. Also, always liked their version of "Diamond and Rust", of course when I was in grade school and listening to these tapes, I never heard of Joan Baez and always thought Judas Priest wrote the tune.
