bassistnamedmike Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 When is Rush going to get into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame. I think that it is about time this year. They have had a huge influence on Rock and deffinatly deserve to be in. On Q104.3 a classic rock radio station in NYC, they started a pitition to get YES into the Hall of Fame. I think that we should to the same. If i have any supporters e-mail me with ideas on how we can pull this off. Blackmetal27@yahoo.com Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazzman Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Theres already a petition to get Rush into the HOF. However, I severely doubt they will get in anytime soon. Also Rolling Stone controls a certain percentage of the votes to get in, and since Rolling Stone hates Rush, they won't elect them. Plus, the Rock Hall is a joke anyway.

Moonraker Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 As nice as it would be to see them get in, they wont. Rolling Stone decides who gets nominated and who gets in, and I've read that they arent getting in as long as one guy is there at Rolling Stone. I dont remember who it was that said it, but I'm sure others have read the same thing. Rush will continue to be an underappreciated band not on the list long after Britney Spears and N'Sync are in the Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test4VitalSigns Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 The Hall of Fame is a total joke..I mean look who is in there....Prince??? Bob Seger??? Jackson Browne??? Come on!!!!!GIVE ME A BREAK!! is in the Canadian Hall of Fame (along with a Star on the Walk of Fame, received Order of Canada) and and as far as I'm concerned that's good enough for me....I consider the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame in the same category as the Grammies....A TOTAL $&*%$% JOKE!!!!! Us fans knows how great they are and don't need no biased piece of crap Hall to acknolwedge that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilpeart_gal Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Donna Halper spoke at Rushcon this year. She is really keen on getting the boys in and asked for our help. I think she is planning to start herself by calling the HOF president and going from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Never. Rush will never be in the RRHOF. Doesn't matter. Rock and Roll should not be an institution. It is from the streets. Creating a Hall of Fame detracts from what Rock and Roll is all about which is rebellion and wreckless abandon. It's about not giving a sh!t about what people think. It's about a big F*** You to the System, or Establishment, or The Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodoff Baldrick Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 They're certainly more deserving that some who made it in there, but I have a feeling Air Supply and The Monkees will be getting inducted first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Notorious B.S.G. Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Never say never. Remember Aerosmith was once derided by the critics, yet are now in there. Of course, it's ironic that the critics hated them most when they were at their best (73-77), and adored them at their worst ("Rag Doll", etc. ) Now what does that tell us about the "wizdom" of people paid to write about entertainment? (Those ink-stained wretches not good enough to entertain, not good enough to write about important topics, only good enough to write about trivial things. It's only entertainment, for chrissakes, not anything important!) Here's what I believe is the oldest, largest petition out there: http://www.petitiononline.com/xanstar/petition.html I personally haven't signed it , as I have no desire to beg the tin gods at Rolling Stone for a measly scrap of bread.
