Title: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: BananaLouie on March 17, 2012, 09:33:07 AM What bands do you think should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Any groups or solo artists that you think have enough merit to be included with all of the other musical legends? My two are The Monkees and The Lovin Spoonful, both bands having a more than impressive catalog of songs.

Who gives a flying one? It's a elitist, redundant organisation that values the idea of 'rock' (which, depending on who you ask, is dead in the water) rather than actual forward thinking musical thought and dialogue. It's an excuse for the industry to go out of an evening. Nothing more. Nothing less. And I'll quote it again! ;D Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: GoodToMyBaby on March 17, 2012, 12:21:43 PM The Spoonful were inducted in 2000.

Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: Lonely Summer on March 17, 2012, 01:01:29 PM Spoonful were/are one of my favs, glad they got in while all the guys were alive. I wonder if there might be some sentiment to induct the Monkees now that Davy has passed on? Sadly, that's what it often takes to get movement on these things. Paul Revere & the Raiders should've gone in years ago, even before the Monkees, their career was a testament to the power of repeated exposure on television. They'd been playing around the Northwest for years without much success on records; that all changed when Dick Clark hired them to be the house band on Where the Action Is. The Guess Who had a similar situation up north. And yeah, I'd induct them, too.
Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: BananaLouie on March 17, 2012, 02:06:33 PM Good quote hypehat, the RARHOF is pretty much an elitist club and I won't hold my breath in the hopes The Monkees will be inducted any time soon, I would think there's a lot of political crap that would prevent that from happening. I also agree about The Guess Who, they were an amazing band with many classic songs, they deserve to be there too.

(assuming they weren't already) Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: Mikie on March 17, 2012, 04:44:38 PM Chicago, ELO, The Cars, and The Doobie Brothers. And maybe Journey and Yes.
Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: BananaLouie on March 17, 2012, 06:26:42 PM Does anyone know if 10cc have been inducted? If not they deserve to be.
Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: SBonilla on March 17, 2012, 06:43:45 PM Let me know if they ever nominate Bob Thiele, Sun Ra, Benny Carter, Harry Partch, Raymond Scott, Ralph Peer, John Phillip Sousa, The Fourth Way, or Flaco Jimenez, I'd be interested in that. Those are some Rock Gods.
Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: Jay on March 17, 2012, 10:23:31 PM Chicago and Steppenwolf should be in, as well as Jan and Dean. It would be cool if they inducted some really obscure group like The Edgar Broughton Band. MC5 should probably be inducted too.
Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: pancakerecords on March 17, 2012, 10:41:41 PM Big Star, The Cars, MC5, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kiss (not a fan, but undeniably huge and influential), The Replacements, Fishbone, Cheap Trick - this could go on and on...
Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: Lonely Summer on March 18, 2012, 01:10:06 AM Badfinger - although there won't be much of a post-induction jam, as Joey Molland is the only survivor from the classic lineup.
Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: Jay on March 18, 2012, 01:27:33 AM How about Love? 13th Floor Elevators? Howlin' Wolf?
Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: pancakerecords on March 18, 2012, 08:46:53 AM How about Love? 13th Floor Elevators? Howlin' Wolf? Howlin' Wolf is in. Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: Paulos on March 18, 2012, 10:02:24 AM Here's a list of all the inductees - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Rock_and_Roll_Hall_of_Fame_inductees#cite_note-Sinkevics-5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Rock_and_Roll_Hall_of_Fame_inductees#cite_note-Sinkevics-5) - there are some glaring ommisions and some very strange inductees on the list I mean, just how rock were ABBA? More rock than The Monkees?
Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: Eireannach on March 18, 2012, 01:15:50 PM It's clearly not an exclusively "rock" collection, though. Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Run DMC, James Brown, Simon & Garfunkel, The Bee Gees, The Righteous Brothers, etc. Those are not rock bands.

Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: Lonely Summer on March 18, 2012, 10:26:16 PM It's clearly not an exclusively "rock" collection, though. Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Run DMC, James Brown, Simon & Garfunkel, The Bee Gees, The Righteous Brothers, etc. Those are not rock bands. The HOF includes many r&b or soul acts - and it depends on who you talk to if those acts are considered "rock" or not. But the fact that they inducted Percy Sledge on the basis of one great record shows how biased they are. I mean, if one great record is all it takes, the Kingsmen should've gone in long ago. Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: Awesoman on March 20, 2012, 05:49:04 PM It'll probably never happen but --
Chicago! Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: Roger Ryan on March 21, 2012, 11:36:40 AM Roxy Music, Cheap Trick, Joy Division.
All three of these should have been inducted years ago. Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: Lonely Summer on March 21, 2012, 01:11:46 PM The Dogs, Persay, Jeff and the RF's.

And Crazy Horse ought to be inducted along with Neil Young (for the second time) Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: Moon Dawg on September 15, 2012, 02:26:46 PM Are The Stooges in? If not, they merit consideration.
Title: Re: Bands That Should Be Inducted Into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Post by: runnersdialzero on September 15, 2012, 05:02:04 PM None, as it should not exist.
hypehat got it right, as did Johnny Rotten. |
