Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Thread

Eminem is eligible next year. We're all old.

Will the boy bands eventually get in? Jackson 5 got in first ballot but after that I don't think any of have gotten in. ngl I'd be perfectly fine with a duel New Edition/Bobby Brown induction.

The Beatles were a boy band from the start… kinda.

The HOF bar is not at all high for who they’ll accept and who they won’t. Some acts are in that in no way should be, and others are out that should be in.

Todd Rundgren Skipping Rock Hall of Fame Induction, Says Music Isn't Sport

Rock icon Todd Rundgren is about to get what some call the ultimate honor in the music biz -- induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame -- and he couldn't care less, because he says the institution's a total crock.

Campaigning hard for a HOF induction (although I think it was more his fanbase than Todd himself) then refusing to go and saying its existence is dumb is a very very Todd Rundgren thing to do. I love him.

Also I would have thought someone as technology minded as him would have a more professional looking webcam setup tbh.

Jerry Garcia did the same thing. Rock Hall didn't want to induct all members of the Grateful Dead but he campaigned hard for them to do so. Once they agreed, he wound up not showing anyway.

WOW! Once again, the intersection between hipsters and jam bands is apparent! cc @Incandenza

Pretty loaded nominee list. DEVO and MC5 for the win too!

MC5, RATM, and Judas Priest?

Hell yeah.

 

[King Kamala]

I am amazed that MC5 wasn’t in already. Wayne Kramer isn’t getting younger ! Induct them while a few of them are still alive!

 

[Valeyard]

Kate Bush holy shit. This is a legit lineup for once. I'll have to at least track down the Kate Bush and MC5 stuff.
