Cuz this stuff is important!! Tupac, Pearl Jam, Journey, Joan Baez, Yes, ELO, Nile Rodgers. Rumor has it the vote was 13/8 on Yes getting in.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

No such thing as a R&R HOF until Paul Revere & The Raiders get in!

how does this thing still exist ? who actually cares about any of it ?

I was in Cleveland for a wedding and we needed to kill a few hours. I asked about the HOF and several people told me to avoid it. Expensive to get in and its boring as hell.

Yeah, just fuckin' stupid. Dave Grohl is on the Board of Directors. It figures. And jimmypasta has a point about Paul Revere. If you're gonna have this stupid thing, how could they not be in it? If all they ever did was "Kicks" that should be enough.

If you're ever near Newcastle, Indiana, the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame is awesome. Very old school. Artifacts and exhibits rather than a bunch of interactive crap for brain dead Millennials who have to touch everything. leash would probably hate it.

completely different.

Yes sucks

ELO is essentially what the Beatles would have become had they stayed together.

I respect their contributions to music, but, in my opinion, The Beatles suck, too.

_________________

sounds like most of the acts in the HOF...

Pearl Jam wasn't even the best band of their era.

well alrighty then.

They were the worst of their genre and only survived because they managed to not die/stay together.

_________________

I'm not sure that would matter. Many bands/people of the same era can get in.

That would be like The HOF saying, "Sorry Beatles, The Rolling Stones are already in the HOF. Tough luck for you guys that you weren't the best of your era".

BTW, Pearl Jam sucks, but your statement is still not right.

Hmmm you sure?

I love Pearl Jam, but he's right. AiC, Soundgarden were both better.

_________________

agreed on both and on the Soundgarden is better opinion.

Vedder's voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Almost as bad as Dylan.

Speaking of Dylan, did you know that Jakob Dylan is the only current member of The Wallflowers?

Agreed.

Is Connie Francis in yet?

You know me like that.

Come on, now. Yes is certainly one of the greatest prog-rock bands. If you're going to have something as dumb as a hall of fame for rock they definitely deserve to be in there. They're far greater than Journey. Sure we made fun of them in our little punk rock bands, but deep down we all wished we could play like them.

It seems the RRHOF has changed in recent years. They are letting in groups/people now that are not the requisite Rolling Stone darlings only. I re watched the Rush induction speech by Dave Grohl and he even said fuck you Rolling Stone pretty much. Maybe it is a good thing he is on the board.

Yes may not be everyone's bag but they had songs on radio and were highly technically proficient. ELO while catchy was just studio candy blah but Lynne is very connected.

I think some people are troubled by the definitions the RRHOF uses as well. Whether it is because they do not understand the importance of early blues men or why the Supremes or Tupac are in seems to confuse some.
