Rolling Stone updated their list of Top-5 albums of all time

[CouchCoach]

Pssssshhhhhhhaaaaawwwwww, Marvin Gaye's own father didn't like that album.

Lots of reasons.

1. Longevity - They've been around since 1987 and still active.
2. Popularity - Sold 75 million records. 20 Grammy nominations, 5 wins.
3. Legacy - They were one of the pioneers of pop-punk and made it sort of mainstrema.

I think they definitely deserve it. There are some obvious snubs who deserve it, as well.

Long read but this is the criteria for induction into the RRHOF...

"Leaders in the music industry joined together in 1983 to establish the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. One of the Foundation’s many functions is to recognize the contributions of those who have had a significant impact on the evolution, development and perpetuation of rock and roll by inducting them into the Hall of Fame.

Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria include the influence and significance of the artists’ contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll.

Nomination and induction into the Hall of Fame is not about popularity, records sales, which label the group is on, or anything other than the process below. The love for, the evaluation of, and the impact of any artist are subjective questions to be answered by the nominators and the voters. Unlike baseball, football, basketball or hockey, statistics are not relevant. Please read below:

The entire nomination and induction process is coordinated by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation in New York City. Individuals can be inducted in four categories: Performer, Early Influence, Non-Performer and Side-Men. The only formal criteria for the performance category is that an artist has to have had their first record 25 years ago. That said, candidates are reviewed and discussed relative to their impact on this music that we broadly call rock and roll. The innovation and influence of these artists is also critical. Gold records, number one hits, and million sellers are really not appropriate standards for evaluation"

Its pretty obvious they don't follow the above because if they did a ton of acts wouldn't be in {including Green Day}.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Green Day definitely should be in, Offspring next!

No way is Green Day more deserving over Jane's Addiction. I can only remember one Green Day song.

The RRHOF is a joke. More than half the performers in the RRHOF do not belong in a true Hall of Fame which honors the best of the best, the performers who create a genre, or changed the genre. Ricky Nelson was inducted in 1987. Nice singer, but one of the best of all time?

The Kinks, Byrds, Booker T and the MGs, Yardbirds, Animals, Ramones, and so many more were all nice groups, even really good groups, but to me do not belong in a Hall of Fame. The Byrds were around for a few years and had a couple of hit songs. The Yardbirds were very short lived and although Eric Clapton got started in that group they were not HoF worthy. Cream is in so Clapton was honored in that group which is more appropriate.

Just keep in mind all of these groups entered the HoF years before bands like the Moody Blues, who had hit records and top albums for decades and brought new sounds to popular music. There are other bands that have been excluded as well.

There are too many performers in the RRHOF. It is watered down to the point where just about everybody who was popular for a minute gets in. I expect Hoobastank to be inducted in a year or two.

Isn't that the truth, at the rate at which they induct artist i fully expect Poison to be inducted before its all said and done.

Legacy - They were one of the pioneers of pop-punk .

LOL. Pop punk. Really? So dying his hair green = makes him a punk. That's your standard for so called legacy? Compare their so called legacy to prime Jane's Addiction 1989;, Perry was 100% intense, And I have one of Perry's orange/red dreadlocks. From when he jumped into a slam pit right on top of me in Portland, Oregon 1989.

Right Dying your hair green, an angry we hate the world sneer and sub par musicianship{apparently}are enough.

Marvin Gaye was not a perfect man. He dealt with his own inner demons, substance abuse in particular.

His problems may have played a role in Marvin Gaye Sr., killing him. Both had a history of physical altercations with each other. Gaye's father claimed he killed his son in self-defense. The court convicted him of involuntary manslaughter.

Some people share Gaye Sr's opinion of his son's music for their own reasons. Cool. Me? My opinion of Gaye Sr's opinion is colored completely by the fact he killed his own child. and it ain't a pretty color, that's for certain, lol.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

I only know one Jane's Addiction song.

Pigs In Zen, Had A Dad, Nothings Shocking, Up the Beach, Ocean Size, Jane Says, Idiots Rule, Mountain Song, Stop!, Ain't No Right, Been Caught Stealing, Three Days, Classic Girl, etc.

Howard Stern show.

Okay, two songs I know. Jane Says, and Been Caught Stealing ( which I like a lot), but I definitely know more Green Day songs. Not a huge fan of either band.

Funny I know way more Green Day songs than Jane's Addiction. But I will credit Jane's Addiction in changing the trajectory of my life sorta. Spring 91 I heard Been Caught Stealing on the radio. Became the catalyst to ditch all my friends and the music they listened to. Started skating, quit listening to classic rock. Didn't seek out Jane's Addiction but moved on to alternative for a quick minute (that's all you could find where I lived) then right in to punk (punk, skate punk, pop punk, whatever I could get my hands on).

At this time, no. When they started, likely.

I'm all about music with intensity and passion. Green Day ain't it.

Opinions vary. I don't really pay much attention to HoF inductions, with the exception of the NFL, and even that isn't real important to me. Music in particular is subjective, and when Jethro Still (as much as I do love the band) got the Grammy for Best Heavy Metal Album or whatever it was, over Metallica, I realized nobody knows what the Hell they're doing.

The background singer is very distracting...

That's Perry's wife. She for some reason has to be noticed when Perry get's the attention. Oh well.
