Lammycat Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 one side of my brain says "why on Earth would you care one little bit about who is in this arbitrary hall of fame thing?" and then the other part of my brain says "go ahead and click on that hall of fame thread." I'm a mystery to me.This is how I feel when I watch 2-3 minutes of those Lt. Joe Kenda shows on ID Discovery and in my mind commit to finishing the show.... I submit that the folks in charge at Rolling Stone don't care much for the Prog Rock genre, amongst others. It's not that bands/artists aren't "worthy," just that the inductees are voted on by a small sample of people. Kind of like how Ted Nugent never makes any Rolling Stone "greatest guitarists" or whatever lists anymore because of the bullshit that comes out of his mouth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Regardless of his politics, Ted ain't no top 100 guitarist. I mean Stranglehold is cool but cmon man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean Stranglehold is cool but cmon man.Yeah, this is more along the line I was thinking, something "Greatest Rock Guitar Opening Riffs" or something. I've never listened to Nugent (save for radio shit) nor liked his stuff, but Rolling Stone stiff-arming him due to his "politics" kind of shows what they can do with HOF inductee process....

John Smith Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I really don't recall Ted being on any top 100 guitarist list on Rolling Stone going back as long as I can remember. I also recall that RS has never been a big fan of his even in the 70's, long before he became the guy he is today. So I don't think his politics are keeping him from anything, he's just never been in RS's radar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Just turned on the XM channel and they are playing a Depeche Mode tune -- don't know if that means anything -- then they went into ELO, looks like they are just going down the list--- think I am going back to the Dead channel. (I am a Depeche Mode fan, though). Don't Let Me Down -- e-gads... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonicshoulder Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 When I think of Rock and Roll Janet Jackson doesn't immediately come to mind. Its usually Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Led Zeppelin...then Janet Jackson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Janet Jackson has some good guitar solo's err..no I get her influence however they need to change the name to the music hall of fame Anyhoo go Depeche Mode!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sonicshoulder Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Surely you don't believe any of these bands deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame over Pearl Jam??? You're just saying personal preference right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 A short list of who shouldn't/won't eventually be in may be more pertinent. I say Limp Bizkit and WHAM! don't "deserve" to be in.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Does Jane's Addiction deserve it? They produced very little noteworthy music and have been coasting for 10+ times longer than they were relevant. Are they getting credit as a band for Lollapalooza? Credit for that should go solely to Perry Ferrell (and whoever his business partners were) and not the band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Richie Valens got in because of one tune....... He actually has a bunch of great tunes, but the real reason he's in the HoF is because he was present for the most famous and tragic event in rock and roll history.

suites Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I don't get when people say this or that is not rock and roll. Rock and Roll is not just 4 white guys (Guitar, Guitar, Bass, and Drums). In fact look at the fathers (James Brown, Chuck, Little Richard, Elvis.....) they would not fit the bill if they came out today. What about Motown? Muddy Waters? It is really an attitude mixed with music. If NWA is not rock and roll what is? Not sure what the cutoff actually is (Barbara or Carpenters) but Hip Hip falls under this umbrella for sure.
