Pretty diverse group of nominees

Def Leppard

Devo

John Prine

Roxy Music

Stevie Nicks

Todd Rundgren

Janet Jackson

MC5

Radiohead

Rage Against the Machine

Rufus featuring Chaka Khan

The Cure

The Zombies

LL Cool J

Kraftwerk

If this was the football hall of fame, we would be inducting Chad Pennington this year

My picks:  Rage, Prine, Rundgren, Cure, LL Cool J

Not a big fan of the Cure or LL Cool J, but they are up there in importance.

Just saw Prine for the first time a few weeks ago and will be seeing the MC5 (MC50) for the first time next Monday and Stevie Nicks for the first time in November.

Making it a point to see all these old folks while they are still around.

Roxy Music, The Zombies, John Prine, Todd Rundgren , Rufus featuring Chaka Khan.

what are the requirements?

why are newer bands listed beside older bands?

 

"Rock and Roll"

Radiohead.

There you go.

By letting 'the public' vote, it turns it into a popularity contest, based on album sales, and not contributions to music. Last year Bon Jovi got the most votes, and it was no surprise, due to their chart hits, yet Radiohead was left in the dust, even though 'Ok Computer' is widely regarded as a milestone and turning point in rock, akin to 'Sgt Peppers' or 'Never Mind the Bullocks'.

 I'd go with the nine bands I saw live but I'm just a fucking moron as if you didn't know

Its a fan vote now??

 

Sheesh...it was bad enough before....now , its comical

>If this was the football hall of fame, we would be inducting Chad Pennington this year

I won a signed game shirt a bunch of years ago at a stag and that fucker falls out of my closet at least once a month.  I swear that I bury it under a stack of old sweaters but somehow it surfaces.  Anyone want to buy it...???..I'll pay shipping???    

As if the Jets aren't bad enough Chad 'Ty' Pennington is the complete worst... To think that I've been a fan for 40 years is a disgrace... 

 

Kraftwerk got a reference in "The Big Lebowski"  I think.  So that's probably enough fame for a while ?

DEVO and MC5 have my vote.

Def Leppard, because I have a soft spot for musicians with missing appendages.

Artists are eligible for inclusion in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their first commerical recording. "Newer" bands aren't really new. 

The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame is a sham.  Why do you think Jerry Garcia didn't even bother to attend the GD's induction?

A sham you say? Ha! Yes. The Jann Wenner Hall of Fame.

Def Leppard? Wtf?!
