Their **** ******* ******** (redacted) guarantee them induction into the Rolling Stone magazine Rock and Roll Farce of Fame. OK, I'm stumped. What Incel buzzword is he referencing here?

The weekly reminder that Rundgren played the marimba on "Love My Way" is very useful.

Interestingly Todd, or whoever controls his Twitter account, did send out his HoF nomination: Interesting that they found a picture of him when he was 19. And, apparently not content with all the other stuff he invented, he also invented "The Rachel" hairstyle decades before Jennifer Anniston. Hey, Todd at 19. Just a bit older than most of the kids DeVoe films. Six feet under, I presume.

You had to figure that DeVoe went into full-on boner mode the moment he found out that Rundgren was nominated. He's not going to need those "special pills" for another month and a half at least.

can't answer that, but if he were nominated (which he is not and nicks is) i would bet he would get a whole hell of a lot of votes.....because everyone has heard of him. and on that subject, why is stephen stills not inducted as a solo artist, no one, and you can research it, did more than stills did from 67 to 77 in the history of rock and roll."Did more than..." is such a vague statement that I have no idea what it's supposed to mean. Did more coke? Did more what? As for why Still isn't in the HOF solo, it's because his solo career didn't have a lot of success. He started out well, as his 2 1970-71 albums sold well, and we can give him a third big hit if you count the 1st Manassas album. After that? Not much. His next 3 albums peaked in the 20s, and his sales declined more after that. Hardly anyone thinks of Stills as a solo act, just the same as hardly anyone thinks of Nash or Crosby as solo artists. None of them deserve induction to the Rock Hall solo. They got in with CSN and that's appropriate... you are not even close to what stills accomplished early in his career, and i don't fault you for that. it is why he is not in the hall solo, because no one know what stills did early in his career.
you should look it up, it might surprise you....a lot.and by the way, how much success did the sex pistols have in their career? and i ask: does neil young belong solo? and if you answer yes, then why? you might want to check out david crosby's last 4 albums and compare them to neil young's last four albums. than, once your amazement subsides, check out the 2 rides albums and the stills / judy collins album. then nash's 'this path tonight' neil is a distant 4th over the last 15 years, a very distant 4th. and young's 'a letter home' is the single worst album ever released by a major artist on a major label in history. he should give everyone who bought it their money back. infact he should also give everyone who bought a pono their money back too. I strongly suspect that if he gets in this year, Todd Rundgren is going to get the Award for Musical Excellence. The problem is that his career has taken so many weird turns, that most of the people voting really won't know how amazing it's been. They'll only know Hello It's Me, Can We Still Be Friends, We Gotta Get You A Woman and Bang On The Drum. If you want a quick overview of Todd Rundgren, he was given the Les Paul Innovators Award at the NAMM show in 2014, and they made this six minute overview of his career. I was looking through the Todd Rundgren...why isn't he more famous thread, and found that I had posted this very short overview that appeared in Pitchfork: "Todd Rundgren had mastered the art of writing the perfect pop song by the time he was 23—so he’s spent the next four decades trying out pretty much everything else. While his early-'70s chart success posited him as a stateside McCartney, his subsequent career more closely resembles that of an American Eno: a musician-cum-conceptualist who didn’t so much forsake rock stardom for the avant-garde as inhabit both worlds simultaneously. Rundgren is forever at the center of infinite extremes: proto-punk instigator and prog-rock architect, celebrity and cult hero, casino-circuit nostalgia act and remix-ready electronica enthusiast, autocratic auteur and promiscuous collaborator, bitter cynic and spiritual humanist, genius and jester. He’s the iconoclast revered by everyone from Daft Punk to Prince to Earl Sweatshirt; he’s also the guy arguably responsible for inventing Smash Mouth." I'm generally considered the biggest Kate fan here, and I was honestly baffled by her being nominated last year. Yes, she's a genius writer, and has been cited as an influence by musicians as diverse as Sarah MacLachlan and Big Boi, but that influence has rarely been obvious, and her visibility in the US has been minimal. And when you combine that with the fact that she'd never bother to show up for the ceremony, let alone perform, I think getting on the nominees list is as far as it will ever go. Again, she turned down the London Olympics which would have put her in front of more than a billion TV viewers. I'm also one of the biggest Todd Rundgren fans, and can only say that if you doubt his worthiness for being in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame, you just aren't familiar enough with his career. Wake me when Mike Nesmith and Phil Lynott are in. I would be happy to see STEPPENWOLF , URIAH HEEP & JETHRO TULL . Steppenwolf almost got in and now seem to have been forgotten . I have a little more hope now, since The Moody Blues finally got in last year. nope. there are in the hall because jann wenner wanted to be cool. no other reason whatsoever, none, nada, zilch. you have no clue, count me out of this conversation. sorry, but i'm done here.

If we're going to discuss giving shit back, I think we should start with giving every poor child who had the fucking misfortune to be in this sorry-assed excuse for an educator's class their year back. It burns my ass every time I'm forced to think about this moron being an actual teacher in the American education system.

What has Steven Stills ever done? I was alive during rjpee's time frame, and I don't remember him doing anything, let alone "more" than anyone else. I think Bowie and Keith Richards did more drugs. I think Sugarloaf had more hits. I think Neil Young wrote more songs. Maybe Stills slept in the van more than anyone?

He was the rock to the paper of Crosby and the scissors of Nash.

Ah but you see, Stills auditioned for the role in the Monkees TV show that ultimately went to Peter Tork. Just auditioning is a huge feather in his cap, doncha know. Hall of Fame-worthy.
I read somewhere that Stills didn't make it because of his bad teeth.
