decent but not top-of-the-heap for me.
All music is subjective. There's no real grading system, thank god.
Had to love the comment just for the Allison Kraus reference. Not that I'd connect her with anything rock and roll (and apparently the R&R HOF isn't that either), but when I imagine the voice of an angel, Allison comes to mind. Simply beautiful and pure.
I agree, and submit that Crystal Gale should also be included in the set of Angel Voices.
I was mauled by a cougar, learned nothing about driving, and my Crystal Gayle shirt was ruined.
I laughed.
you must have never actually heard her sing. Now I wonder if you've ever actually had a Butterfinger.
LOL. I had to look it up to see what it was from. I've never seen that flick.
There's a lot of people who should be in that aren't. Especially on the rap side.
That's gotta be the weakest, saddest, most unappealing list in the history of the HOF.
this is how all of these endeavors seem to turn out and that's why I pay no attention to them. They become garbage pretty quickly.
I remember quite a few years ago (2006, maybe) when Johnny Rotten was on Jimmy Kimmel talking about the Sex Pistols being inducted and how they weren't even going to attend. He's a peculiar guy, but his assessment of the "institution" (as he called it), was pretty much a bullseye. He was talking about how the RRHOF had sold out and how they were basically "charging me 10 grand to remind me that I'm famous"- referring to what the seats cost for anyone attending with the inductees. It was good.

It was Orlando JONES, not Bloom. One of my closest friends' youngest brother (also a friend of mine) went to CoC and was Jones's roommate and buddy, and they were even in an improv comedy troupe together in DC before he (the brother) came back to Charleston. That's how I knew to watch it- he called me.
Is Crow on this list of nominees? She's pretty decent to look at, as far as musicians go, but maybe a top 20 most overrated singing performer. So many of her songs are so annoying stupid hipster loser deadbeat lyrics. Hard pass.
Eh, there's some really good names on that list. I'm not going to get into the "it's not rock music" argument again. That's probably happened 10 times in this thread.
It's one induction ceremony that definitely won't watch. I haven't watched one in... 5-7 years?
Well, if you aren't watching it then I guess it really is bad. That's a very objective measurement.
thanks for the clarity. You probably noticed that the page I linked had Jones at the top but referred to Bloom in the description below. I had assumed that Jones at the top was the mistake.
every one of the bands you listed are not only more than worthy of induction, they happen to be bands that over the years I considered to be top drawer R&R listening and really got into...except Kansas, and 3 Dog. Never cared for Kansas that much, and I had to be in the right mood to appreciate 3 Dog, but they both definitely deserve induction.
Cher---what classless garbage. She's so disgusting, she actually belongs in the useless R&R HOF. Them leaving her out so long is the single shred of appeal it has for me.
Oh, yeah... tons. Mary J. Blige, Sade, A Tribe Called Quest, those are RnR icons, too!
