Who's Missing From The R&R Hall of Fame?
« on: November 15, 2008, 03:07:53 PM »
Today, (for no explicable reason) I found myself looking over the list of this year's inductees. Knowing full well that the HOF is a plaything for Jann Wiener - umm, Wenner - I decided to pick, IMHO, the three biggest oversights thus far:
Chicago
Kiss
Free/Bad Company
I'd like to hear everyone else's top 3 disses.

Dexy's Midnight Runners and Men Without Hats  ;)

Seriously, I don't care. We could argue all day over the meaning of Rock and Roll but I know what it's not. No offense at all to BB King, Gladys Knight, P-Funk, the Staples Singers, Mamas & Papas et al -- they all deserve recognition. Yet when 1/3 to 1/2 of the inductees are really blues, doo-wop, Motown, folk or soul artists, it's really a pop music hall of fame.

the hall of fame is pretty much a joke imo. i can't see any logical reason why some get in and some don't. if i could redesign the place i would toss every bit of it and replace it with a single photo of a slave in the fields. that's the wellspring from which all of this emerged.

I still have that first Yesterday and Today lp.  That was more California in the 70s than any VH lp. 

I think the Turtles deserve to be in it.  Especially with people like Miles Davis and Leonard Cohen in it.

Can't argue with those.  Given that T-Rex is still popular with the younger crowd, I think they're deserving of it.
