Here's the list of nominees:

• A Tribe Called Quest

• Eminem

Pat Benatar definitely deserves to be in.

 

[Spartanfool]

How can the New York Dolls not already be there???

 

[bullwinkle]

As does Judas Priest! But, the Rolling Stone magazine clowns who run the Hall have proven their cluelessness for years, no news here.

I agree, you have tupac and james taylor in the hall of fame. Thats not rock. Yet ratt is not there?

Pat Benatar definitely deserves to be in.

She and the Wilson sisters are the shoulders on which others have stood

"Hell Is For Children" is one outstanding song and is seldom played

Never hear of 'em

 

[Zaedock]

I love Tribe, but that ain't rock and roll, yo.

 

[Zaedock]

Never hear of 'em

Man, I feel old. Lol!

 

[simple_gifts]

Never hear of 'em

Of course, that's more of commentary on you, than them

Did you catch the scathing assesment of the R&RHOF that Steve Miller handed them in his speach after they inducted him? LMAO.....
There are several articles online that cover his speech.

Nobody noticed the ones at the bottom ****Dolly Parton.....Dionne Warwick....Lionel Richie and Carly Simon***

 

[PimTac]

Still no Ted Nugent. That is a sacrilege.

 

[rob1715]

Duran Duran? Devo? Are they serious?!? And Dolly Parton? HOF is a complete joke and not even worth writing about. How about Sister Rosetta Tharpe? Before Chuck Berry, Elvis, and Little Richard, there was Sistah. Check her out on YT. She was shredding before shredding was known. Magnificent artistry and mastery right there.

 

[DirectRejection]

If you want to have your mind blown,
check out some Sister Rosetta Tharpe. History. "Didn't It Rain." Long white coat. Horse drawn carriage. White Gibson SG. LOL.

It looks like Eddie Trunk leaning on Tom Morello helped a little. And there's Tom's RATM too, ha !

of course. so used to it nothing / no one would surprise!

 

[SammyChevelleTypeS3]

So many rock bands who had massive impact on music from the 60s thru the 80s are ignored by that HOF.

They also probably have zero idea who Rory Gallager was. Or Robin Trower... Alvin Lee and on and on

We just lost Ian McDonald a week ago. He should be in it.

Huge Rory Gallagher fan here. I got to shake his hand at the end of a concert. He was a man of the people. Irish Tour '74 was an amazing performance. Rory went to Belfast during The Troubles.
