Geo in Pa Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 http://entertainment.tv.yahoo.com/entnews/...3320422000.html who isn't there that should be? My suggestions: Lowell George Alice Cooper
The Dean Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 http://entertainment.tv.yahoo.com/entnews/...3320422000.html who isn't there that should be? My suggestions: Lowell George Alice Cooper 514464[/snapback] WOW, Little Feat isn't in the Hall? That's just flat-out wrong.
buckeyemike Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Black Sabbath has been nominated something like eight times and still isn't in. I'm not sure Alice Cooper has even been nominated (and that's a shame). Anyone here ever been to the Rock Hall? I've been there twice...some say it's overrated, but I find it very fascinating and have considered joining so I can get cheap admission. Mike
lawnboy1977 Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 I just read this, absolutely awesome. I know that the rock hall isnt much, buts its nice to know they are finally coming around and inducting those they have missed over the past few years, Sabbath, Skynyrd, Sex Pistols, its ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!
/dev/null Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Black Sabbath has been nominated something like eight times and still isn't in. 514718[/snapback] Black Sabbath deserves their own freakin wing! Also missing are Metallica and Alice in Chains
UConn James Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Anyone here ever been to the Rock Hall? I've been there twice...some say it's overrated, but I find it very fascinating and have considered joining so I can get cheap admission. 514718[/snapback] Never been there, but I hear that it's a difficult place to find exhibits in. More than a few reports from people who've expressly tried to find the Jeff Buckley display case (I've seen a picture of it online w/ his guitar, jacket and notebooks, so it does exist) and came away empty. What kind of location system do they have there? Koisks with the classic "You Are Here" and an orange dot? "Freebird? Stairway to Freebird? I'm still alive with my Freebird?" Skynyrd wasn't inducted until just recently? My dad had a big mirror with "Lynyrd Skynyrd" painted on it in pyschadelic-colored balloon font. Anyone who has one of those in their name should automatically be in the RnRHOF.
Toomstone Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 RUSH! 515129[/snapback] Took the words right out of my mouth Jay. Damn crime that they are not in the Hall!!
X. Benedict Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 MTV VJ Martha Quinn belongs as a nonperformer. And what? No Grateful Dead?

Seriously, it's been said that the Rock Hall has only inducted Friends of Jann Werner. So maybe that's why Black Sabbath and Rush aren't in. Mike
gantrules Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Nirvana....They changed the landscape of rock. How can they not be in? Alice in Chains....Llayne's voice is next to nothing Metallica......been doing it for ages Nine Inch Nails....industrial metal most distinguished band

How can they not be in?Alice in Chains....Llayne's voice is next to nothing Metallica......been doing it for ages Nine Inch Nails....industrial metal most distinguished band 515375[/snapback] The main eligibility requirement is 25 years after the first recording. Of the four you listed, Metallica is eligible first (maybe in the next two or three years). The others are eligible in about seven to nine years. Mike
buckeyemike Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 Van Halen and Yes are also eligible for the Rock Hall. Neither is in there...yet. Mike
UConn James Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 The main eligibility requirement is 25 years after the first recording. 515389[/snapback] With those kinds of induction requirements, I can see why they're pacing it out a bit and leaving out some of the bigger names that should-be-in-but-are-not. It's so they have someone left to induct next year, five years, ten years later. Lasting, good r'n'r groups don't come around all that often.
gantrules Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 25 Years? C'mon, I'm almost 30, does that mean Nirvana isn't eligible until I'm almost 45 years old? Talk about not being able to reach a younger crowd. To me, 10 to 15 years is more than enough to make a decision whether or not a band belongs in the hall.
IDBillzFan Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 I have to say that I, for one, am shocked...SHOCKED, I say...to notice the very obvious absence of one Gordon Lightfoot, without whom the incredible and rockin' ballad "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" would not exist today.
BRH Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 And what? No Grateful Dead? 515214[/snapback] They're in; they went in in 1994.
