Radiohead is unlike the others. Radiohead reshaped music, none of the others on that list did the same. And spare me Rage, with their punk rap and Wah pedals, feeding into the angsty, closet-homo mid-late 90s generation.

Aside from them:

Devo
Janet
LL
Stevie ******* Nicks
The Cure

Rundgren is interesting, but most of his chops are from studio sessions. Unless Utopia gets in? Then **** it, put every one in. Zombies don't belong.

Def Leppard is nasty. Abbott pitched a no-hitter with one hand. Yay, their drummer!!!!!!!! Hair!!!!!!!

Does anyone take this **** serious, tho?

Some fine careers, but I dont know if they are HOF worthy careers. Then HOF has let in people I didnt agree with either

I love Stevie.......LOVE Stevie. But is her solo career HOF worthy?

If Pumpkins cant get in, neither should Rage IMO

The rock n roll HOF is a sham, broski

******* A right, brother. LOVE the Pumpkins

feeding into the angsty, closet-homo mid-late 90s generation.

There is some seriously good stuff that came out of that.

Ever listen to Placebo? Openly homo and angsty. They had some seriously nasty jams and there music destroys alot of more notable groups of that era

No.

Would love it if you posted some stuff in the Music Thread, Marine. I haven't heard of them, without looking them up. Drop in there and drop some tracks

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Gotta say the list doesn't knock my socks off.

It shouldn't, aside from Radiohead and LL

Give men afew and ill do just that. Some of there stuff really took my head of the first time I heard.

Its very angsty, but in a more honest and true mannee

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I like the Zombies' music. I just don't see how they could be HOF worthy.

There are dozens of bands/groups/singers out there who hung around for a few years... Had a couple top-10 hits (no #1's) and that was that.

Why Zombies?

I don't know.

 

[darthseinfeld]

No.

Her solo stuff is pretty good. But Edge of Seventeen is her only solo song that is truely memorable. Stand Back, Stop Dragging My Heart Around are good songs.....but just good

She will probably get in because she is a big name and they need to put on a show

 

[Trouty]

Agreed. The Zombies are cool. But the R & R HOF is a sham, Mike. I don't know any music listeners ("audiophiles") who give two ***** about this event. With no disrespect to you, sir.

HBO's Reverb, before they cut the plug on it, was far more interesting.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Def Leppard
Janet Jackson
Stevie Nicks (questionable)
Todd Rundgren

This is the group that should get in.

The rest are lucky to have been nominated.

I love her singles... but geez louis she had a few top-10 hits, but no #1's. Why her and not say Bonnie Tyler who at least had a #1 hit. Or Connie Francis who had 14 top-10 hits, including 2 #1's.
