Permanent-Rush Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Some great bands in the list, including Yes,Pearl Jam,The Cars,and Depeche Mode.!! Edited October 18, 2016 by GotNeilPeart? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarian Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Many groups I like, but I'm still voting for the Cars. There are bands that are too 'young' to be voted in yet. We have two months to vote. Yippie! Let the fun begin :outtahere: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 There is a lot of fantastic music on that list. Most is not Hall of Fame caliber. But that doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Except for Joan Baez and ELO, they're dragging the bottom of the barrel now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoopid Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 The Cars are worthy, but barely. Yes should be in, probably the most influential Prog band in history (next to later Beatles album?). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super25Smasher Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) I'd like to see The Cars, Yes, The J. Geils Band, Pearl Jam, and ELO. But Tupac? What the hell? I'm not a fan, but even though i'll admit he's talented, he doesn't belong i the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

ReRushed Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I have no problem with using the term "rock and roll" as an umbrella definition for all popular music. The more rap artists piss off old school rock fans the more rock and roll they become. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) I'll go with.. Bad Brains The Cars YesKraftwerk Joan Baez MC5 All quite influential within their genres You could make a case for janes addiction as well Edit : ELO as well Edited October 18, 2016 by Xanadoood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Bad Brains is great. Very influential and inspirational. I wouldn't be disappointed if they made it. It would probably give Dave Grohl another chance to induct and perform. Lord knows he could use the exposure.

HemiBeers Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Ok with: The Cars, Yes (no brainer), Joan Baez, Pearl Jam, J. Geils Band. My issues: Pearl jam and no Soundgarden? Soundgarden has had the same career and influence. No Deep Purple? Come on man. Tupac? Gimme a break. The rest of the list is a pile of meh. Journey will probably get in, but I hate poppy rock bands. Oh yeah, no Kansas? Oh I forgot that since we have Yes, we met our quota of one prog band per year. Other misses: Iron Maiden, Slayer, Motorhead, Kate Bush.

MC5 and Bad Brains are quite influential to Punk/ Hardcore .. they deserve a nod Deep Purple got in last year I believe Edited October 18, 2016 by Xanadoood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 No Judas Priest?? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 No Judas Priest?? Yeah the Halls obvious hatred for Metal/Hard Rock is insane. Maiden, Priest and Motörhead need to get in 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I would think Priest and Maiden are no-brainers. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame sucks, but it's fun debating and arguing and venting about it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I don't know who can speak in behalf of Yes now but I'd love they refuse this crap 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Kraftwerk, on influence and originality alone, should be inducted. That string of 1970s albums is the peak of top-notch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I don't know who can speak in behalf of Yes now but I'd love they refuse this crapThey won't. It's just a shame Chris Squire isn't around if they get in. Geddy can induct them and fill in. That would be awesome. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
