I do know there is a 1% chance they get in ELP are not in my top 25,000 bands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Barmy guy was in the band Europe. Or maybe it was South America. Their debut album was decent, but after that it went downhill quick.

rushgoober Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Of the ultra-popular prog groups, ELP for me rate at the bottom. That said, they made many GREAT songs. They were just generally inconsistent on album, and sometimes a little of them goes a long way. Still, I'd LOVE to see them enter the hall, and would say they deserve to be there, even though they'd be second tier for me of the bands not yet inducted. Still, please, get The Moody Blues, Yes, King Crimson, Kiss, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, etc. in their first. It's criminal that they're not in. And if you really want to include a HUGELY influential and revolutionary band that wouldn't be a popular choice, but is more than worthy, induct Tangerine Dream. https://www.youtube....h?v=w78ZQhWKJhM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBob Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 hahaha gwar That's right, GWAR.And I will not rest untill those jaggoffs in the RRHOF truly recoignize the real genius that is of Oderius Orungous, Flattus Maximus and the rest of the Scumdogs of the Universe!

burgeranacoke Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Deep PurpleKraftwerkJoy Division/New OrderEnoDevo Oh and i must add King Crimson inclusive of all their works and lineups. No one in here so far has posted anyone I would disagree with and GWAR ROCKS! but if any one posts Boston i will immediately put them in my column as having zero credibility in any musical discussion.

It's about importance and influence and quality for me - not about hits or popularity. Still, ELP is second tier, though a great and important band.. King Crimson will NEVER get inducted due to popularity - they're far less popular and known than Yes, Jethro Tull, The Moody Blues, Kiss, Deep Purple, Cat Stevens, ELP or most of the major acts not yet inducted, but they deserve it just as much!

cfmoran13 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 KISS - just do it already!Ozzy - Sabbath needed to go first. Now, it's his time as a solo artist.The RamonesYesDeep PurpleJudas PriestMotorhead The next 2 should be in but are not at the "THEY MUST BE IN!!!" level:Duran Duran - if ABBA and Blondie can get in, these guys should be inLionel Richie - Commodores and solo work, the guy can write a good song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Absolutely should be in (in no particular order save for the first one, the second one and the eighth one who all should've been in long ago):1. Deep Purple2. Yes3. Kiss4. Chicago (surprised they aren't already)5. Judas Priest6. Iron Maiden7. Ozzy solo8. Stevie Ray Vaughan9. Moody Blues10. War11. Tommy James & The Shondells12. King Crimson13. Jethro Tull I would not argue with.....1. Doobie Bros.2. Hall & Oates (almost think they should be in the list above....not my cup of tea but good pop music)3. Journey (even though I hate them LOL)4. Dire Straits (longer career would've got them easily)5. Pat Benetar6. Joan Jett7. Steppenwolf8. MC59. Jim Croce10. The Cars11. ELO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just helps to remember that that the Hall of "Fame" is a popularity contest and ELP was way more popular than most prog bands. I would never ever put ELP above King Crimson, Moody Blues, or Cat Stevens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushfanman Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 why has nobody mentioned tool? I don't know if they are old enough to be in but omg. They must bee like the biggest underground band ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 why has nobody mentioned tool? I don't know if they are old enough to be in but omg. They must bee like the biggest underground band ever! Tool released their debut EP in 1992 and album in 1993 so they're eligible in either 2017 or 2018 since the minimum amount of years is 25.

Also agree with the other poster on Duran Duran. Their 1st 3 albums are quite good. Hell, their 1st one is quite different from their usual stuff with a goth atmosphere on some of the songs like Night Boat and Friends Of Mine.
