As the years go by the lists get farther and farther away from rock and roll. Joy Division and New Order are completely different, can't even compare the music.

True.

 

I do think Joy Division was great & far better, but back-in-the-day I played New Order a whole lot more.

 

Surprised George Michael & Zevon weren't already in.

Not a bad list, really.  It has become more the "pop" HOF than "rock" HOF, which makes sense, since rock is really over.

There are a lot of good rock bands putting out music.  I wouldn't say the genre is dead, but kids nowadays would rather listen to autotune music about eating ass.

Iron Maiden, as silly / great as they are, aren't rock 'n' roll?

They are, I never said that...

 

To clarify, Joy Division and New Order are two completely different bands with completely different music. What I meant was that they shouldn't be lumped together.

 

Some of the bands that Should be in the "hall" but aren't... Captain Beefheart, Thin Lizzy, and....... King Crimson. We have Cindi Lauper on this years list lol.

Joy Division became New Order after Ian Curtis hung himself, so it does make sense to group them together to me.

No offense but putting Willie Nelson in the Rock n Roll HOF would be akin to putting Willie Mays in the hockey HOF.

Same with Dolly Parton. They are bestowing upon them rock cred which for me doesn't really compute. I dunno. In the end it is a museum and I wouldnt hate seeing their memorabilia. Congratulations on Long and Illustrious careers. 

 

For this year These would be my choices: Cindy Lauper- George Michael- Rage Against the Machine- The White Stripes- Warren Zevon

 

These are a few of my personal favs so I am biased. But if these were the inductees I would definitely want to watch the broadcast concert just sayin'

Soungarden - As Doug Marrone would say ..."obviously"

Willie Nelson - It hasn't been the R&R HOF in a long time, It's a music HOF

Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London is reason enough

 

Where the hell are Alice in Chains, Jethro Tull and Bad Company ?

 

Had a security guard yell NO TOUCHING to me as I reached to touch Stevie Nicks dress.

 

Seeing a number of Jerry Garcia's guitars as well as guitars from Duane Allman, Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page made the price of admission worth it ... Mick Jagger wore costumes I wouldn't have fit in as a 10 year old.

Maybe she shouldn't have still been in the dress? 🤔

That's fair but I don't see it that way, they should have been separate. Same with The Small Faces and The Faces... two distinctly different bands.

To see a list like this(and recent years) and then read that Jethro Tull and Bad Company are not in, makes this whole thing a joke. 
 

Make it the “music” hall of fame if need be, but stop with the pop, rap, country, etc… all somehow have this connection to rock n roll.
