SHO Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I hope Waits doesn't get in. He's too cool to be lumped together with the rest of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzboy Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I'll give my vote to Neil Diamond over any rap artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom_JEM Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Alice cooper all the way! i wouldnt complain if the Beastie Boys won though (im not gonna be liked round here now i know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Still no Rush... I certainly think Alice Cooper, Dr. John, J. Geils Band, Laura Nyro, Chuck Wills, Tom Waits and Donovan are worthy. Not certain about Donna Summer (I mean, is chart success really the sole qualifier for this whole thing?) and I definitely can't justify the Beastie Boys or LL Cool J. I dunno--I stopped believing that the Rock Hall has any credibility or integrity quite a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Surely Rock and Roll is a misnomer today as it has evolved beyond it's original concept and style Maybe some other name/label would be more appropriate...any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Still no Rush... They have a bias against prog rock. I am by no means a fan, but at least Rush, Yes, King Crimson, or ELP should be on the nomination list. And no Slayer? Come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragoro Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Slayer? Really? They havent done anything special or noteworthy really to get in (not that many of the bands that have got in have done so either). And yes Im a fan, seen em during the clash of the titans tour.

They made one of the greatist recrods under 30 mins in histroy? They have the most loyal fanbase in the world? (Yes its a fact, its been proven world wide) Also one of the most infamous bands in the world as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you didnt know, thats not a good thing. Read under 30 mins, thats kinda rare. Actual the dead weren't even in the top 10 if im correct. It also still sells alot to this day. You say infamous isnt a good thing, i think its a great thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Slayer is a band that helped pioneer a sound. The fact that they are still around and relevant says a lot. They deserve to be at least considered and I would argue more than some of those flash in the pan disco acts that got all the way in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman5293 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 The only one that I would vote for is Alice Cooper. The choices are pathetic. A rapper in the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame would be a super fail. I vote for Disturbed to be nominated next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I dunno--I stopped believing that the Rock Hall has any credibility or integrity quite a while ago. Hah! I'm old enough to remember when they started the whole damned thing. It NEVER had any credibility or integrity!!! Bunch of industry folks paying marketing companies to do research. Broad-brush bullsh!t - artistic merit or fan preference be damned. Chic ?!? . . . WTF?!?!?. . . Nile Rogers produced that - and a lot of other stuff - if I recall. For a black artist working in the dance/disco/soul world he's a pretty good guitar player. Smart man. Knows the business. He's an insider, so at least THAT choice sorta makes sense...

WahKeen Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 LL Cool J?? It's the end as we know it. I listened to Donna Summer growing up, and she was amazing. One of the sexiest voices ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 It's just simply an ego trip for Jann Wenner. It's to the point now were they might as well just put in everyone thats still pluggin away after 10 years in the business. And change the name to music HOF if you're gonna put in Abba, Madonna and the like. Frankly if Wenner does't care for the act chances of them getting in are slim. He hates Kiss and they will never get in even though they influenced thousands of kids to pick up guitars. Why Sabbath but no Deep Purple. Why Bowie but no Alice. Why Earth Wind & Fire but no Chicago. Lynyrd Skynyrd but no Doobie Brothers. The RNRHOF practices the exact prejudices they feel music should avoid.
