rocketman Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Can be found here. Some interesting choices. I actually had to look up The Meters (never heard of them before). So what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I kinda like the list this time around. But, every now and then you see something that slaps you in the face and says "you are getting old". Nirvana being named to the R&R HOF just did that to me.

charlie brown Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Heck, I'm shocked , that some of those folks aren't already IN, the RRHOF! What took them so long??! Shows you, too...how much I (don't) pay attention to such things. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hard to believe that Ronstandt isn't already in it. Kind of illustrates how stupid some of this stuff really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Well they finally got it right last year by letting Rush in, so I really can't complain. I'd love to see Yes get in this year. Maybe the corner is turning for progressive rock bands. You can vote again. See here. Last year Rush was leading the pack by a wide margin. Nothing like that this year yet for anyone.

RaysEpiphone Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I can see why some folks think that some of the act's really aren't Rock or even Rock and Roll or any sort of influence on the music that came from or became Rock or Rock and Roll. But they are famous and doing a lot better then me so I wish them all the fame they worked hard for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Usually the HOF is specific as to which members get in. Like Heart last year was original band members only but the Eagles got all members that played through the years in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Donny the fan voting plays a very small roll in the final decision on who gets in. Politics ya know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaleb Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'm sure those backdoor POS critics will find a way to keep the HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD out, and an undeserving rapper in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaleb Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Im thinking Nirvana will beat out KISS if there is a way In my mind it should only be Gene Paul Ace and Peter in there, they are the real KISS. I think Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick belong too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I actually had to look up The Meters (never heard of them before). So what do you think? Pity that! Let's see what we can do to remedy that situation because you can't get much funkier than the Meters... As for the R&R Hall of Fame, like the Grammy Awards, I quit caring years ago.

rocketman Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Pity that! Let's see what we can do to remedy that situation because you can't get much funkier than the Meters... Yeah I checked them out afterwards. They do sound great. On another note, Rush said that they would love to induct Dave Grohl into the HOF one day (he inducted them). I loved his response: "I hope it takes just as long as it took Rush to get in." Class act all the way. Let's see if he gets in with Nirvana this year.

Twang Gang Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Maybe it should be the "I sold a lot of records Hall of Fame" cause it sure ain't limited to rock. Butterfield Blues Band is one of my favorites, and one of the great blues bands of all time - not Rock N Roll. Love Ronstadt too, but she is a country singer and a great one - not Rock N Roll. LL Kool, NWA, Cat Stevens well I just won't go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hi I know its probably all ready been decided. Its just a big deal for me with KISS. I think them and many other bands sort of hurt their legacies by switching around members a lot. Bands like Aerosmith Zeppelin Beatles just are more Legendary keeping original line ups. Yeah I'm the same way when it comes to Chicago and their original lineup. Loved all the Jazz fusion/Rock/Pop stuff they were doing late 60s up until Terry Kath's tragic death. One hell of a guitar player, 3 great singers and the horn section. They'll never get in though because of the 80s love song incarnation they became after Kath was gone.

ZenKen Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 They'll never get in though because of the 80s love song incarnation they became after Kath was gone. You mean the period when they made all the money Cookie? Pretty sure they wouldn't trade that for some dumb little statue. B) BTW, I agree with you. The only Chicago I like is the Kath variant.
