As the years go by the lists get farther and farther away from rock and roll. Joy Division and New Order are completely different, can't even compare the music. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised George Michael & Zevon weren't already in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Not a bad list, really. It has become more the "pop" HOF than "rock" HOF, which makes sense, since rock is really over. I'd go Maiden, Zevon, White Stripes, Rage & Soundgarden. That's a rockin' list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify, Joy Division and New Order are two completely different bands with completely different music. What I meant was that they shouldn't be lumped together. Some of the bands that Should be in the "hall" but aren't... Captain Beefheart, Thin Lizzy, and....... King Crimson. We have Cindi Lauper on this years list lol.

Joy Division became New Order after Ian Curtis hung himself, so it does make sense to group them together to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I’ve been to two inductions (2014 for Peter Gabriel, 2019 for The Cure). Looking at this list, there’s enough that I like that I may go even not having a favorite “must see” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 No offense but putting Willie Nelson in the Rock n Roll HOF would be akin to putting Willie Mays in the hockey HOF. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Dolly Parton. They are bestowing upon them rock cred which for me doesn't really compute. I dunno. In the end it is a museum and I wouldnt hate seeing their memorabilia. Congratulations on Long and Illustrious careers. For this year These would be my choices: Cindy Lauper- George Michael- Rage Against the Machine- The White Stripes- Warren Zevon These are a few of my personal favs so I am biased. But if these were the inductees I would definitely want to watch the broadcast concert just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Soungarden - As Doug Marrone would say ..."obviously" Willie Nelson - It hasn't been the R&R HOF in a long time, It's a music HOF Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London is reason enough Where the hell are Alice in Chains, Jethro Tull and Bad Company ? Had a security guard yell NO TOUCHING to me as I reached to touch Stevie Nicks dress. Seeing a number of Jerry Garcia's guitars as well as guitars from Duane Allman, Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page made the price of admission worth it ... Mick Jagger wore costumes I wouldn't have fit in as a 10 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair but I don't see it that way, they should have been separate. Same with The Small Faces and The Faces... two distinctly different bands.

Make it the “music” hall of fame if need be, but stop with the pop, rap, country, etc… all somehow have this connection to rock n roll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconator Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Who I want: Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Willie Nelson, Rage Against The Machine, Soundgarden, A Tribe Called Quest, Warren Zevon Who will get in: Sheryl Crow, Milly Elliott, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Cyndi Lauper, George Michael, Willie Nelson, The White Stripes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ever do though the fans and whoever inducts them will make Jann Wenner look like an idiot again like Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins and Rush fans did when they got in after way too long. 1:29 mark. Watch what happens after Wenner just says "and from Toronto..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they really need to consider dropping "Rock and Roll," altogether. It's a Music Hall of Fame. There's nothing wrong with that. But don't call it what it clearly is not. It's been silly from the get-go. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Assuming we're talking about a music hall of fame and not a Rock and Roll hall of fame... Willie Nelson Warren Zevon Iron Maiden Tribe Called Quest Rage Against the Machine All have -- at the very least -- legitimate cases. The top three should be locks, in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if we're strictly considering Rock and Roll artists, two no-brainers that come to mind for me are Boston and Jethro Tull. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
