Most having nothing to do with R n' R of course. Bon JoviKate Bush The Cars Depeche Mode Dire Straits Eurythmics J. Geils Band Judas PriestLL Cool J MC5The Meters Moody BluesRadiohead Rage Against the MachineRufus featuring Chaka Khan Nina Simone Sister Rosetta Tharpe Link Wray The Zombiesthose should all get in You know when I think of important rock and roll artists, I don't think of King Crimson or Roxy Music or Brian Eno.....I think of LL Cool J. Zombies, Moody Blues, Cars, Dire Straits....the rest(barf). LL COOL J? Really? The rock hall has truly become politically correct bs. you have got to be kidding me.....this is a joke right? warren zevon carly simon' doobie brothers dan fogelberg america CSNY boz scaggs jethro tull stephen stills - solo/manassas it becomes a parody of itself every year more and more. Yes, it's a joke...your list is a joke. i giving early odds that ll cool j is last in the fan voting and still gets in. jann wenner is a dick and so are those who pick the nominees. By the way, Kate does fly, she just doesn't enjoy it due to inner ear issues. My wife and I met her plane (the Concorde) when she came to New York to promote Hounds of Love. what a crappy list ,other than the Moodies and Zombies Top 10 artists I'd love to see and have NEVER EVER BEEN NOMINATED (no particular order) - Def Leppard - Bryan Adams - Emerson, Lake & Palmer - King Crimson - Iron Maiden - Scorpions - Jethro Tull - The Guess Who - Motorhead - Motley Crue And a lot more! i get the redundancy, but CSNY should be just for "ohio" alone. and find me anyone who even comes close to doing what stephen stills did from 1966 - 1977...............and, although not up to par with those years, form 1977 until today. Are we talking about cocaine? If so, agreed. wow! you really just have no clue how good he is, so a smart-ass answer that you thought was cute is your choice of response. seriously.....you have to know that ll cool j is getting in, he is the only rapper nominated....it has become a yearly guarantee. does anyone else find it insulting to not see warren zevon's name on that list, or is it just me? As I mention every year, you can debate whether Todd Rundgren deserves to get in as a musician, but he should at least be inducted as a producer. We're An American Band. Skylarking. Bat Out of Hell.

The moaning narrative carries on in predictable fashion. Makes a bog standard soap opera seem cutting edge. At least the list has MC5 and Link Wray. You can't get more rock n roll than that. But apparently the moodies and zombies the only worth while one's on list. Lol

Actually, this might be the best list of nominees in years, maybe of all time. Only Radiohead, Bon Jovi, The Moody Blues, and maybe Dire Straits flat-out suck. On the downside, those are also the four most likely to win, but maybe Jann Wenner's attempt to "diversify" the voters by adding a couple of dudes under 40 and a guy with a deep suntan is paying off.

Yes, I think it shows the panel, whoever they are, are at least acknowledging a variety of on the whole, good stuff rather than a bunch of mainstream rawk acts. Prob a lot better than if SHF did a mass vote on it. Good to see the Meters and Sister Rosetta on there. Particularly eased to see Link Wray!

Hey, while I admire Todd Rundgren immensely as a songwriter and musician, I'm nobody's fool in terms of the need for hits to get into the HoF. Due to his refusal to pick one style and keep at it for a career, his only "hits" would make him seem like a soft rock artist who had a late career novelty song hit. I was proposing that he get in as a producer, an area where his record is undeniable and obvious to even the most casual music fan - Skylarking, the New York Dolls and Bat Out of Hell are enough. If only as a producer. Arguments can be made for and against him as a performer and as a songwriter, but his impact as a producer is pretty much undeniable. Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell? XTC's Skylarking? Grand Funk's We're An American Band? The first New York Dolls album? The Psychedelic Furs' Forever Now? Exactly how many classic rock albums does one have to have produced to be considered for the Hall? Todd's influence as a songwriter and performer can be debated, but he should, at the very least, be inducted as a producer! C'mon! Cheap Trick's Next Position Please? Psychedelic Fur's Forever Now? The New York Dolls debut album? Badfinger's Straight Up? Grand Funk's We're An American Band? XTC's Skylarking? Bat Out of Hell? How can someone produce Bat Out of Hell, after the album had been rejected by dozens of record companies and record the thing out of his own pocket and somehow NOT be even nominated as a Hall of Fame worthy PRODUCER?!? He should be in as a musician (especially considering the Hall of Fame location - Ohio is Todd's base) but it is insane that he's not in as a producer. Anyone else would have gotten in for We're An American Band or Skylarking alone, but how can anyone seriously believe that the producer of Bat Out of Hell shouldn't be in there? The more I learn about the album, the bigger Todd's part gets. The band is Utopia with a couple of members of the E Street Band tossed in, Todd did most of the guitar and background vocals, Steinman wrote the tunes but didn't do the arrangements as he can't write music; according to Meatloaf, he would hum what he wanted to Todd, who would take that and turn out finished arrangements. I could see some debate about whether or not he deserves to be in as a singer, musician or songwriter, but his status as a producer is unquestionable. Skylarking? We're An American Band? The New York Dolls? Bat Out of Hell? Todd Rundgren, if not as a performer or songwriter at least as a producer! XTC - SkylarkingGrand Funk - We're An American BandMeat Loaf - Bat Out of HellJust those three are enough to induct him as a producer. Again, you can argue if he deserves the honor as a performer, but his credit as a producer is undeniable - Skylarking, We're An American Band, Love My Way, Bat Out Of Hell... As a producer, at least. How can someone who produced XTC's "Skylarking", the Psychedelic Furs' "Forever Now", The New York Dolls' self-titled and freaking "Bat Out of Hell" not be in as a PRODUCER! As I mention every year, you can debate whether Todd Rundgren deserves to get in as a musician, but he should at least be inducted as a producer. We're An American Band. Skylarking. Bat Out of Hell.

Todd Rundgren should produce a Kate Bush album backed by the School Of Rock. Chris Devoe deserves it.

With the exception of the relatively shiny and bright sounding Skylarking, which was clearly a fluke, almost every rekkid Rundgren produced is famous for having a murky production that diminishes the quality of the songs and/or performances.

Why isn't the School of Rock nominated? After all, it represents the distillation of all the best of rock. I read that there are 14-year-olds who play Zappa and Boston tunes. These kids sure rock, and Chris DeVoe assures me that they all look cute as a button whilst doing so. And he's got the tapes to prove it.

you can bet your house that radiohead and ll cool j (kennedy center reipient this year) get in.....radiohead will be therem consider the south america gig cancelled already. and you know why: because putting those 2 in makes jann wenner look cool to the younger crowd, and maybe just maybe they will buy a magazine or 2.
