Voter 2: Yeah, whatever. Voter 1: [Making gagging sound.] Their songs could be serious or satirical or quirky. Ah yes, so another choice on the sidemen/women category?

I think theres a deeper core of seriousness in their work than is often acknowledged. Voter 2: I would have no problem having her in the Hall of Fame.

I thought I had a lot of Canadian content but theres always room for more I suppose :D. I am surprised that Todd Rundgren, The Guess Who, Little Feat, and XTC do not make your list of snubs. .

N.W.A Steppenwolf, Procol Harum & Moby Grape should also be included on the list of snubs!

How about Joe Jackson? Some choices I wholeheartedly agree with. One of the top selling female artists of the 80s. Carole King and her ex-husband and songwriting partner, Gerry Goffin, were given the Ahmet Ertegun Award for non-performers in 1990. She is definitely one of my favorite musicians ever. Absolutely ridiculous. Also no. I agree. Whitney Houston, Depeche Mode, and the Doobie Brothers were inducted in 2020. As far as Hall of Fame snubs the one that comes to me is Harry Nilsson. They Might Be Giants I know when I did visit the hall a few years ago, I left more upset than impressed, which is too bad because there are many worthy inductees, but some not so much, and far too many of these snubs, and little attempt to rectify this problem. SPIN - Al Shipley. Hes made really good records, but I struggle with this one. In addition to his work as a civil rights advocate, The recent inductions of Depeche Mode and The Cure have cleared the way for more 80s British bands like Duran Duran and Eurythmics to get their first nominations. The Doobie Brothers Rage Against The Machine, which hasnt been nominated for four of the five years theyve been eligible, are shaping up to be one of the Halls perennial bridesmaids. Seems very odd. Im pretty sure I have Paul Anka scheduled within the next year, if not sooner, as I remember looking him up for his impressive songwriting. This morning, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced 17 nominees for this years inductions. Yeah, that would be a good choice. Stray Cats In addition to the main Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, there are some additional awards, created to honor sidemen and non-musicians. Note: Heart, Donna Summer, and Rush were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, class of 2013. The Pixies Steve Miller Gene Simmons slams Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for Rage Against the Machine, Iron Maiden snubs The Kiss member said the organization "should be ashamed of themselves." Cheap Trick Great articles and fun discussion. There has to be a reason why one of most successful bands in R&R history, selling millions of records and still selling out arena to this day, has been ignored. Heart. REGISTER to access your 5 FREE ARTICLES a week. But back to Dolly, its part of her overall canonization. Meatloaf. Hell say it he got a huge boost from being a white rapper and being transgressive. The way in which he was embraced by critics, put on the cover of Spin dressed as the guy from A Clockwork Orange, and all this other horseshit early on? Kate Bush is one of them. But MC5 got a lot more hype because they were revolutionaries and whatnot. I have therefore decided that this particular theme of mine deserves a page to collect all of the posts together as well as provide a place where people can suggest bands/artists for me to cover. A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, and Gang Starr all deserve to be in. Thank you. Their last album, Beautiful Friction was release in 2012. For the moment I am focusing on writing about this years nominees, but after that is done I plan on writing about other acts as time and energy permit :p. Bernie Taupin as a songwriter, though, seems like a pretty obvious choice. I also believe that The Guess Who, (and also Bachman Turner Overdrive), Grand Funk, The Monkees, Three Dog Night and Sonny and Cher all merit consideration, Ive read your pieces on the latter four and you make a very strong case for eachFinally, perhaps my favorite story teller, Harry Chapin deserves a spot. Kraftwerk I realize critics dont like him, but Manilow sold over 75 million albums, I found that hard to believe. It wasnt great, but people were so excited they came back that everyone decided to will it into being great. This would be a great gift or friends/couples night out! First to do the talk box, sold/ gave Jimmy Page the Les Paul he made famous, helped Pete Townshend with some if his tone through gear (gave him a Gretsch used on Whos Next and Quadrophenia).

Ink had the hit How Much is Enough. Ill be writing about the Fixx. I dont think its likely to happen, but its definitely possible. Fuck that guy. He could write, sing, play killer rhythm, lead and slide. Yes, these are all great bands to write about and all of them are on my listsome of them, like Depeche Mode and The Cure, have been ones I have wanted to write about for a long while, and other bands of these like Midnight Oil and Husker Du have managed to make it into other entries but will probably merit entries in this series before too long, along with bands like the Replacements.
