I liked Chris DeVoe better when he was in New Edition.

I have never heard anything from Sister Rosetta Sharpe. Not sure why she would be in before the Eurythmics. I'm sorry but most people haven't even heard of Link Wray. I know their name but don't know any of their music. So happy that 3 of my choices are finally inducted Bon Jovi Dire Straits Moody Blues Really hope next year we'll have King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Scorpions and Def Leppard :edthumbs: Remember how all you "purists" felt when true innovators like Grandmaster Flash, Run DMC, Public Enemy and NWA were inducted? That's how the rest of us feel when they decide to induct useless bullsh!t like Bon Jovi. What has Bon Jovi added to the musical landscape? What great bands did Bon Jovi influence? Matchbox Twenty? Cool. The definition of trolling and intolerance Curious what creative female artists you think should be in before the Cars. i am ecstatic for being wrong on this years inductees (thought for sure ll cool j and radiohead would get in) looks like wenner might be realizing hob has screwed things up. now, about zevon carly simon and dan fogelberg, not to mention tull. We have the list of inductees so now we can debate who should be inducting who. I wish to nominate Todd Rundgren to induct The Cars.

...or are they likely to show up to play the concert. I still can't imagine Kate Bush will ever be voted in for that reason. Remember, she turned down a feature spot in the Closing Ceremonies of the 2012 Olympics. Who but Kate would turn down a potential audience of a billion or more people? David Bowie among UK stars who turned down Olympic closing show

Oh my what a surprise, Bon Jovi, Moody Blues, and Dire Straits. Three graduates from the University of SUCK.
Bon Jovi was a freakin' band for girls, whose lyrics were just strings of cliches and whose instrument playing was barely better than Poison's. Guns 'n' Roses is the sainted Led Zeppelin in comparison.
The Moody Blues always was cocktail music with bad poetry, with some occasional generic guitar licks added. If you let them in, then you have to let Rod McKuen in. Where's your rock hall of fame then? Up my ass is where.
Dire fucking Straits, eh? Led by a guy who was a already boring old fart in boarding school, or wherever he grew up. Nothing against his guitar playing; he did manage to gussy up some extremely dubious Bob Dylan albums. But except for the now-deeply anachronistic "Skateaway", the "I'm Proud to Be an Old Fart" anthem "Sultans of Swing", and maybe the un-hummable "Romeo and Juliet", does anyone remember a Dire Straits song? Does anybody remember a lyric from any of their songs beyond "I Want My MTV" and "That little faggot with the earring and the makeup"? Talk about a Trumpian anthem. Can anyone tell me how "Telegraph Road" turns out? Every attempt I have made to sit through it ended in Z's within 4 minutes... Even Heart has more memorable songs (except the faggot song), and boy does that say a lot.
I mean sheesh and yowsa... Imagine if a space alien landed and asked for some vinyl to play on his space-age turntable and we hand him Bon Jovi, the Moody Blues, and Dire Straits and tell him "these artists represent the pinnacle of musical achievement among our species, we have erected a great temple in Cleveland for them and lavish laurels upon them. Fucking Bon Jovi man. And the Moody Blues! And Dire Straits!!!
I weep for future generations, adrift on the ocean on melting ice sheets, with only "I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band" to keep them company...
"ponkine" is a fucking sissy who wouldn't know rock and roll if it shat in his face.

Ha ha, the worst acts on the list get in, and the Shites are besides themselves with glee. I do not understand the popularity of Dire Straits, the pedestal people put them on in that forum. Or maybe I do in the sense that pretty much everything Shites consider to be of value is awkward, lacking in sensuality & attitude. I think it all comes down to the majority of Shites never having danced to a record in their life, or headbanged, or shuffled or done anything with their body to music. Well maybe they did once try to bop to Walk of Life and Huey Lewis at the college disco once or twice I'm sure those occasions were rare.

The most movement they get from the music is "toes tapping". Good lord does it bug me when someone over there says something got their toes-a-tappin'!

I think COLA's prediction is right. Now that he mentions it, I don't see any way forward at all. Maybe Cleveland can turn it into a convention center or something? They probably need something like that there... Does it have a view? Maybe artists lofts and condos? There has to be something Cleveland needs more than a withering Baby Boomer shrine. However, right now, they see their future in expansion: www.wsj.com/articles/rock-hall-of-fame-plans-tokyo-expansion-1497885593Yep, who else to milk but Japanese Baby Boomers? They are expected to live about 5-10 years longer than the American ones, so it might stave off the inevitable a little longer. I'll tell ya right now though as someone who spent years there: ain't nobody under 55 listening to Deep Purple over there. Japanese millennials were raised purely on J-Pop, so the future kinda looks grim over there too for this museum's prospects.

That's another reason to despise millennials. They simply don't care enough about the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

"That little faggot with the earring and the makeup"? I always thought it was "faggot in the mink coat"

Todd Rundgren should be in the Rock Hall of Fame if only for this: This Chris De Voe is seriously annoying. Every fucking poat is about Todd or Kate on every frigging thread he comments on. The kind of thing you expect from an obsessed teenager, but he'd not, he's an old dude. I mean, I know his other obsession is teenagers but that's another matter. Just like Urethra Franklin said, Blonde on Blonde will never be the same after Father Time photoshopped his fugly mug onto it, I don't think I'll be able to listen to Kate Bush for a while now either (this pisses me off). Not so bothered about Todd.... a multitude of crappy, sterile high pitched records in his discog, although some of the early stuff is good. P.S. - watched that guitar solo video. Sounds to me like just your standard cliche widdly diddly pentatonic hammer-ons . What's the big deal?

Saw a Rock Hall of Fame inductee tonight - Greg Hawkes of the Cars playing keys for Todd Rundgren at the Voodoo Lounge at Harrah's in Kansas City. No love for this venue - Todd's people didn't sell any merch because the greedy venue wanted HALF of the price.

Jesus Christ...I wonder how many fucking Todd Rundgren blow up dolls Chris Devoe owns? Unlike Brad Olson or Michaela Arsenault he can't blame his obsession on autism or Apserger's.

Did Matthew Tate have a stroke or something? I don't remember his poats looking like such gibberish before, but maybe I have him confused with a different SHite.
