Kiss? Really? Just because someone spits fire out of his mouth...

How many of these threads have you started? Why do you expect anything to change? :)

 

Besides, it's called Hall of Fame, not Hall of Great Talent. The two aren't necessarily congruent.

I think Linda Ronstadt is a no-brainer but Hall & Oates? I have nothing against their tunes, but I was rooting for Yes, I think they really merit it, surprised that they didn't make it.

You are right... It's only about popularity. Deep Purple has only produced 20 albums and have been performing for fifty years. Why would they be more popular than Kiss?

From hits alone, H&O goes in before Linda....

Because they have sold out stadiums worldwide and kept several generations of fans happy. Brilliant iconic marketing from day one. KISS is a one-of-a-kind party-rock machine and they deserve their place in the Hall Of Fame.

and another snub for The Captain and Tonnelle...

 

Hey, don't screw with The Captain! He was a Hammond player!

Yeah, it would have been cool if it was original. Alice Cooper wore makeup and created great theatre rock and fire effects long before Kiss put on their high heels...

Hall and Oates are not bad musicians and have a great band. True they have that soul edge and went more pop in the early 1980's but they deserve to be there.

Its the R & R hall of lame, shame and blame untill I see Vanilla Fudge, Humble Pie and Foghat on the list . This bull about only a few artists a year is a marketing gimmick to keep the story going. I boycott the whole idea until the "working mans bands" such as I have named get recognized. Like cotton, these bands are the fabric of my life.

FunMachine.

Alice was inducted in 2011. :D

 

Yes I know... My point is originality.

 

DP were pioneers in both the 60's classical rock and the 70's English Metal Rock movements. Many people say that without In Rock you would have never had some of the great Zep tunes.

 

And Machine Head?

 

Ok, I am really done now...

 

(That self imposed gun shot you hear will be when Timberlake and Bieber are inducted)

Punishment for making us all listen to the riff from "Smoke On the Water" in the guitar section of every music store in the world over, and over, and over, and over....I'll never forgive them. :)

Did Ritchie piss on someone's boots?

 

 

If you have to ask, you don't know enough about Deep Purple! :D

in addition, "The Hall of Fame chose Bruce Springsteen's backup group The E Street Band for the Award for Musical Excellence." Bruce himself been in since last century.

The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is very politically and financially driven by the executive committee. In many cases talent or contributions to the industry don't count. They should rename it The Rock and Pop Hall of Fame because that is what the Hall really is the way it is being run today.

OMG! Until his missus started talking, I genuinely thought this was a spoof.

And she could be David St. Hubbins' wife in the movie!

 

I love it when he says that people who talk all the time usually are saying nothing. He should look into the mirror.
