The Fela thing blows my mind. How is that possible? I knew who Fela was when I was a teenager mostly listening to Ratt and the Scorpions.
My favorite of the who's Fela posts.

These punks probably don't even have a decent analog rig!

Props to the guy who called Devo a ‘one hit wonder’.

Audiophile Phil is consistently dumb and ignorant. He gives me insight into the mind of the person who spends thousands of dollars on a hi-fi system, apparently to play nothing but Time-Life Collections.

I can't take anyone seriously that pushes for rap artists to be in the ROCK AND ROLL Hall of Fame. Give them their own museum. Presumably a separate but equal one. That only is 3/5ths the size of the Rock HOF museum? I see that "woke" culture is alive and well here. Good to know. How dare I suggest that artists that have nothing to do with rock n' roll are inducted in a very deserving hall of fame that is tailored to the rap and hip hop genres. What a crime. Start a rap and hip hop hall of fame and LL Cool J and Jay-Z would be two of the first inductees. Easily. They have nothing to do with the history of rock and roll. At all. They are both supremely talented, but they're not rock and roll artists. Never were. Never will be. The worst list of nominees so far. I bet most of the members of the RRHOF committee are millennials who don't even own a decent stereo system with analog rig. They added the likes of Carole King and Dionne Warwick to make the list look eclectic. Actually this list is pretentious. Carole King was already inducted as a songwriter together with ex-husband Gerry Goffin. This time, she's nominated as a performer. The only other artist that deserves to be inducted is Dionne Warwick who was the best interpreter of Burt Bacharach's songbook. The rest are garbage. Who the hell is Fela Kuti? There are far more better artists that deserves nomination including The THREE DOG NIGHT, BREAD and BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS. Even the STYLISTICS, the CARPENTERS and TOWER OF POWER are much better and more talented than most artists in this pretentious list. An Afrobeat composer, musician and band leader important enough to have had a Broadway musical created about his life. Fela Kuti - Wikipedia ! His music inspired albums like Talking Heads's Remain In Light.And as a Kate Bush and Todd Rundgren fan, I have to object most strenuously to you dismissing them as "garbage." When Kate finally played a concert after a 35-year absence from the stage, the first night received universal praise from every newspaper in London, from the Times to the Daily Mail to the Guardian. And the last thing those three papers agreed on was "Hitler is bad." I dont care what the Wikipedia says about Kunta Kinte. Everybody can post his/her information about an individual or group or something in Wiki. He is not important to billions of people and we don't care if he inspires somebody's album. If that's how the RRHOF sets its standard on what artist to honor and not to honor, their standard is flawed. I don't care what the media says about an artist. They are not the ones that define who is good and who is bad. We should learn how to rely on our own judgement and not rely on what others think. Where is The Guess Who and Jethro Tull? How can the RAP artists be considered Rock & Roll and yet ignore American Woman and Aqualung. I thought the Hall had hit a new low with Whitney Houston but this year's list is embarrassing as always. Interesting modding gone on here. I can quite see why the material I would contend was racist was removed. And can also see that my postings where I've responded - and so quoted that dodgy material - will have been removed alongside them. However this has left me with my name on some rather strange - once the context has been removed - postings. I'd wouldn't want anyone to feel that I might be sore that Ted Nugent hasn't been considered again! I would think the first criteria would be that the musician's or band's primary music genre would be rock n roll. I don't understand. Are you quoting another person who used the name Kunta Kinte? That is so unfunny and racist that it makes me sick to my stomach. Who said that?

Now they’re making the argument for Golden Earring. Golden fucking Earring! When the bullet meets the bonehead.

One afternoon on a visit to the Netherlands, I had a wander through Delft, and lo and behold one of Golden Earring was doing a free gig in a park, watched by about ten people and a couple of dogs. Even the Dutch think they’re shit.

Audiophile Phil has to be the biggest dullard in that whole place. He owns more Chicago albums than all the members of Chicago combined.
And "Kuna Kinte"? Great, he's a racist jagoff too.

How long before these fuckers decide to storm the hall of fame? They'll be waving their Grand Funk Railroad and Molly Hatchett flags while chanting "Rap is crap!"

Anyone who worships CSN has no say in discussing anyone’s music tastes.
