Sgt. Pepper Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) Here is this years hall of shame inductees. The 2024 class of inductees. In the performer category, this year’s inductees are Mary J. Blige, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & The Gang, Ozzy Osbourne and A Tribe Called Quest. Jimmy Buffett, MC5, Dionne Warwick and Norman Whitfield were selected as the recipients for the Musical Excellence Award. I guess all the really big ones are in already, now it’s a few stragglers and who ever else the old of touch selection committee lets in. Edited April 24 by Sgt.

Last year I voted for Warren Zevon. I understand the HOF cannot ONLY be for Old-Time Rockers....it HAS to include music for the next generation...and the generaton after that. I suppose they can manipulate the votes, (If it can be done in a US Presidential Election, it sure as heck can be done by a private museum), but the inductees SHOULD be selected by a vote of the members. I think they do a pretty good job of getting new inductees, and a FABULOUS job of presenting the memorabilia there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does MJB, and ATCQ have to do with rock, just saying’? If they are gonna eventually let everyone in, just call it The We Let Anyone In Who Played Or Sang Music Hall Of Hame. The sports Halls don’t let other sports in. Ken Stabler will never be in the Hockey Hall. Rap is not Rock. Go make Rap Hall for those performers an induct them all day long. When I was there, I got the fan vote on a computer. I voted for UFO and Thin Lizzy because they played rock. Edited April 24 by Sgt.

Yeah, I tend to vote for acts I consider "Rock"....but others might consider Rap a form of Rock Music....just not me.... but I'm of the generation that will soon be gone....and the museum needs to install acts the younger generations consider "Rock".

sparquelito Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) The RRHOF lost me, and my attention, years ago. The Grammys too. Same corporate, clueless kinds of committees. I recall seeing Metallica on stage in 1989 at the awards show, playing their A$$E$ off, and killing a live rock performance. Moments later, they awarded that years "Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Recording" to Jethro Tull. Never paid attention after that. (Well, years later, I watched replay on my computer of the evening when ELO finally got inducted into the Hall. But was miffed when they only included the early lineup of Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne, Bev Bevan, and Richard Tandy. No respect at all for Hugh McDowell, Melvin Gale, Mik Kaminski, or Kelly Groucutt.) 😐 Edited April 24 by sparquelito 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They printed 100,000 stickers that said "Losers" and stuck 'em over the word winners before shipping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moments later, they awarded that years "Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Recording" to Jethro Tull. I remember that vividly. As I recall, the announcement came as I bent to pick a dogend. I grew up listening to Tull, and I have always been a big fan. Ian's flute rocking was as unique as it was awesome. When my daughter Alexis decided to play flute in 5th grade, I excitedly played some Tull for her so she could hear what was possible on a flute, beyond the symphony stuff. At that time, I was ok with Metallica, but I had not listened to much of their music, save for what FM radio overplayed. But what I did know, and what anyone with half a brain should have known, was that Metallica was/is Hard Rock/Heavy Metal and Jethro Tull WAS NOT!!!

Dub-T-123 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I actually love a tribe called quest… not a big fan of rap or hip hop but Q Tip is the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Atcq would be a fair choice imo they’re not rock but that’s become a moot point to an extent. They took hip hop from “my name is _____ and I’ve got to say” to an actual art form. I am not a rap guy. I hate most modern rap music. Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders are absolute classic timeless albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s exactly reason why the name needs to be changed. Take Rock out of there about, cause 50% of the acts in there are no longer rock, or blues where rock came from. Edited April 25 by Sgt.

Rockabilly isn't Rock, but many acts are on the borderline between Rockabilly and Rock. I said C & W isn't Rock before....and it isn't....but there are quite a few crossover acts. I think trying to stay with the strict definition of "Rock & Roll" would be difficult. I do not enjoy Rap....but it's what many of the younger generation prefer...so if you want the HOF to continue, they HAVE to cater to that music also.

Love Miles Davis, he’s in the Hall, but he’s a Jazz musician. His music is great, but it’s Jazz. I guess this concept is just to difficult for some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx-ogre Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Didn’t Dolly Parton try to “bow out” of induction into the RRHOF? But she was inducted anyway. My wife really likes Dolly and I can listen to most of her stuff, but she is, and never has been, a R&R performer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I demand Yes be inducted. Steve Howe played pedal steel on Going For The One. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I’m on the seemingly never ending task of culling out old VHS tapes. I had/have some good stuff taped from Austin City Limits in the 80s but due to poor planning, most were taped on SLP and 40 years later they are grainy mush with muffled whistly audio. Sad. Two of the tapes that got unceremoniously cast into the “free for the taking” pile were the 2001 VH1 awards and the 2003 Grammys. I scanned through both. 20 years later, Gwen Stefani and Nellie Furtado looked and sounded awkward and forced. I don’t remember anyone on either show that I could define as “classic rock”, either in the up-and-coming group or the has-been group. Best to wash that memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never listened to it so I could be wrong, but I feel confident that he didn’t magically become accepted as a “rocker” or “metal head.” Edited April 26 by tx-ogre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Pat Boone just released another album and he’s in his 80s. Pat Boone 45 million records sold. Edited April 27 by Californiaman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
