Ozzy - Sabbath needed to go first. Now, it's his time as a solo artist.

Duran Duran - if ABBA and Blondie can get in, these guys should be in

 

 

As much as I love Ozzy, I disagree. His first two solo albums are two of my favorite albums by any artist. Bark at the Moon is decent, but much of it hasn't aged well. After that, his solo work is, at best, spotty.

 

I agree about DD though. They are basically the face of early MTV.

What you said about Ozzy already surpasses GnR's qualifications. Appetite is one of the most classic hard rock albums. Illusions 1 and 2 are good (combined, they could've made one killer album without the filler songs). GnR Lies and Spaghetti Incident hardly qualify as GnR albums. And, Chinese Democracy is "meh". At least in his 25+ years as a solo artist, Ozzy's put out more than 4 albums. Granted, I haven't liked anything since 'No More Tears'. But, that's beside the point. He could be inducted solely on the fact that he introduced most of the world to Randy Rhoads.

 

If there's a place for Isaac Hayes, ABBA and Donna Summer, surely there's a place for solo Ozzy! And, I know I shouldn't get too excited over this. After all, it's all complete BS anyway.

No one in here so far has posted anyone I would disagree with and GWAR ROCKS!

 

 

I know the RUSH Catalog is huge, but they had about a ten year head start on GWAR. I have no idea how many albums they've pumped out, but I have a ton of them. Plus they release a movie with every album they produce. That's nuts!

They can play, they can ACT, they can kill, and boy do those guys know how to reak havock on the innocent!

Anybody going to mention Dio?

 

I think people did

 

I just read through the entire thread. Not one mention of Ronnie James Dio. Lots of love towards Ozzy, yet not one peep about this late metal titan. It's a shame he didn't get in with Black Sabbath.

So many bands deserve the honor, even though some (most?) think the RRHOF is a joke. Still, it seems to be an ever-elusive desire for the recognition.

 

My personal list:

Chicago

Peter Gabriel

Phil Collins (interesting though that Genesis is in there!)

Yes

Squeeze

B-52s

Joan Jett

Melvins

ELO

Stray Cats

Iggy Pop (however it’s a win that the Stooges are in)

Supertramp

Jethro Tull

Joe Cocker
