JustDan Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 4 hours ago, Flea said: Zevon isn't in because he pissed off Jann Wenner in the 80's. Well.....that puts a wrinkle into it. Maybe that's why the Nuge isn't in....because Wenner hates his politics. If Wenner does use his personal bias as a measuring stick, then yeah.....the whole thing's a sham.

THUE Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Wenner is out as of January 1. He stepped down as chairman. The Nuge may not be in because hes terrible. Sorry. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't start doing that you will run out of artists to induct. There remains a number of "older" rock artist who should be in however in the last several years there are no rock artists who have made any amazing impact. That's also a sign of the times. Rock Artists don't sell albums, hell nobody does, they don't have hits, there isn't rock radio much anymore. Then they should stop. It's ridiculous now. They should have kept to rock artists, and if there's nobody eligible in a given year, don't induct anyone. They've ruined the concept now, so they should just re-name it the Popular Music Hall Of Fame. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THUE Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Do you think Miles Davis should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? I don't know I just think Rock and Roll is an encompassing terms for all sorts of artists whose music falls under that large umbrella. I mean Put Black Sabbath and Metallica next to the Drifters and Cat Stevens for example. Nobody fell over themselves complaining about any of those four that I know of. Yet so incredibly different sounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THUE Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 From the sounds of some opinions about 80% of the acts should not be in. Prince, every Motown artist, every doo woo artist, any R&B artist. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Prince, every Motown artist, every doo woo artist, any R&B artist. Rock 'n' Roll is derivative of Delta Blues, Rhythm & Blues, Gospel & Hillbilly (also known as rock-a-billy music). Motown artists most certainly deserve to be in as well as R&B/Funk artists. Whitney Houston is more pop than R&B, but the line obviously gets blurred. Many people, including music critics think Hip-Hop should not be included, but Hip-Hop is a derivative of R&B/Funk....So where do you draw the line? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes there are based on the inclusion of The Temptations, The Supremes, Johnny Cash, Brenda Lee, etc. There are several artists in both the Rock and the other two you noted. Stevie Ray Vaughn, BB King and others are in the rock and Blues Hall of Fame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
