My guess is that he's trying to make a point. - Oh so you think you know about this Fela guy that I've never heard of. Come on then, how many records to YOU have by him then?
but I don't think that thread went quite the way he was hoping!

An underrated annoyance of the RRHOF threads is Oats responding to every criticism like he's the Hall spokesman.

I could be down for the ridiculousness of this: Foo Fighters in -- The Dave Clark Five out Mary J. Blige in -- Cat Stevens out LL Cool J in -- ELO out Fela Kuti in -- KISS out (wait a minute, now this is getting out of hand)
ARK
Finally, there would be polls worth voting in!

I get it now, this Fela guy gets 63 albums released but somehow we can't get Buckingman Nicks or a green covered best of CSN on CD in 2021/2022/2023.

The R&R Hall of Fame only remains on my radar because of the SHiTES, but anybody who questions Fela Kuti's eligibility, but thinks Dan Fogelberg should be in has a widely different definition of rock than I do.

I'd never heard of Fela Kuti. Decided to listen.
I dig it.
I've gotten more musical suggestions here than seven years over at Shiteville.
I mean, guy also has 14 minute songs, but I guess it needs to be about your father leaving you to go to war or something for them to like it.

Between everything Andy Partridge has said, and now Joey Mollond, I stand by my "fuck Todd Rundgren" line.

He thinks he's too good for all the stuff he's most known for. Too good for the Dolls. Too good for Meat Loaf. And yeah, Bat Out of Hell is goofy but it's also the best thing that ever happened to his life. No way he'd have that place in Kauai without it. Utopia wasn't going to get him there. He should shut the fuck and be thankful for Paradise by the Dashboard Light.

You'd have a high opinion of yourself too if you played "the freaking cowbell" on "We're an American Band" and played a shitty guitar solo while walking up stairs one time.

I don't know how it was recorded but it sounds like the cowbell was just played by the drummer as part of his kit. Did all-time pop genius Todd just double it? Whoopee-friggin'-do.

There was a podcast with Andy that seems to have been removed cuz he REALLY laid into Rundgren. It was fierce. The whole band got nasty urinary infections from the well water on his property. He had a "solar powered BBQ" that supposedly resulted in them eating "warm, raw meat". My favourite part was how they would launch into the Munster's theme when they saw him approaching the studio from his house.
