[...] never made it into the R&RHOF (and I am done ranting about that pathetic institution) but the silliness of last year’s stooges-sing-Madonna, like [...]

Amen on the GP stuff. He is a god in my book. I’d love to let the HOF have a nice dose of
“kiss my ass you lame fucks.”

Black Sabbath has been nominated several times but Ozzy Osbourne keeps declining the nomination until it is voted on by fans not “rock experts.”

Man, once again, how many great artists are neglected? Two words: Van Halen.

Hello? They only changed the face of rock in 1978 and Edward only reinvented the electric guitar. I mean, how many people formed a band and picked up a guitar cuz of VH? My god, it’s absurd!

Funny, I have yet to hear ANYONE say the Pretenders were the reason they got into rock and formed a band. And I have yet to hear ANYONE say Chrissie is the reason the picked up a guitar. On the other hand, I have heard TONS of people claim VH is what got ‘em into rock and made ‘em form a band…and, of course, Eddie is what made ‘em pick up a guitar.

Musically speaking, it is fuckin’ tragic that the mighty VH has been eligible since 2003 and they have yet to get in. Even those who deserve it can not touch the vast impact and influence of VH. The rock hall truly disgusts me. And they way they keep hosing Sabbath is sick, as well.

NO SHIT!! Who are these fucking experts anyway? what about Micheal Jackson? what the fuck is that all about? they should should just call it what it is: the POP music hall of fame.

WHERE THE FUCK IS BLACK SABBATH!!.

The only thing that doesn’t drive me comepletely nuts thinking about such a lack of scope or history is that it’s pretty cool that they’re still taboo after 35 years. The whole place can fuck off and kiss my ass.

I agree about the Stooges… The Hall of Fame (and I use this title loosely) needs to stop FUCKING around with the bullshit and let Iggy and the gang in…. The were doing in the 60s/70s what some of the assholes that are being inducted now have copied..

Love the commentary on Gram; fuck the eagles, if the stones got in then he should be in. Read anyhthing from Keith and he basically says that if he didn’t meet Gram the stones would have gone stale

I agree wholeheartedly about Gram being denied entry into the HOF. You can’t pick up a music magazine without reading an interview with someone claiming to be influenced by Gram, or listing “$1000 Wedding” as one of their favorite songs of all time.
On the other hand, I don’t think I’ve ever read an interview with a musician claiming to be influenced by The Pretenders.
