RushBoingo Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Well, the Rock Hall is inducting another group of musicians, and they are Green DayStevie Ray VaughanLou ReedJoan Jett & The BlackheartsBill WithersThe Paul Butterfield Blues Band Additionally the 5 Royals will receive the early influences award, and Ringo Starr will receive the Award of Excellence. As a reminder, these are the groups that did not make the cut this year. KraftwerkStingChicThe SmithsNine Inch NailsN.W.A In my personal opinion, called it on Green Day being inducted, happy for Stevie Ray as well. I feel that Kraftwerk still deserves the nod however.

laughedatbytime Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) They deserve it more than Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. If Webster's wants to use this as the example of how to use the phrase "damning with faint praise", they're welcome to do so.

Tenure in the business should count for something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driven_to_xanadu Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I don't think any rock fan takes this joke of an establishment seriously anymore. How do Green Day make it over the legendary Yes and Deep Purple?! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savagegrace26 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I thought NIN would make it. I didn't know The Smiths were on the ballot. Tons of hipsters are going to be pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushBoingo Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Green Day? Really?I don't think any rock fan takes this joke of an establishment seriously anymore. How do Green Day make it over the legendary Yes and Deep Purple?!You guys do have to understand that rock takes on a lot of sub-genres, and as legendary as bands like Yes and Deep Purple may be, Green Day was one of the two bands that started the second wave of mainstream punk rock, so considering their widespread notoriety, critical acclaim, and massive influence on the second wave of punk, as well as pop punk. They kind of had the spot coming to them, again, considering they are the first inductee of the sub-genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Yes was among the first Progressive Rock bands though, which should count for something. I don't mind that Joan Jett was inducted. I would listen to her stuff. Couldn't care less about Green Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagegrace26 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) I think even The Smiths and The Cure deserve to be in there before Green Day. And Yes, Iron Maiden, The Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, Judas Priest, The Cars, Styx, Foreigner, The Scorpions, Depeche Mode, Cheap Trick, Warren Zevon, Willie Nelson, Kraftwerk...I can go on.

goose Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I think even The Smiths and The Cure deserve to be in there before Green Day. For sure. And NWA were hugely influential. Ice Cube, Dr, Dre and Eazy-E are among the founding members. Straight Outta Compton, yo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Green Day inducted before Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion and Misfits is a f***ing joke. Edited December 17, 2014 by invisible airwave 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagegrace26 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) And Tangeroine Dream and Vangelis....hell why not include Philip Glass and other composers? Why not? Get Igor Stravisnky in the damn Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. He deserves it before any of these clowns. Luciano Pavarotti? In Wait? Sinatra isn't in there is he? WTF?

Mr. Not Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'd know hardly anything about this moronic organization if it weren't for this website. TheRRHoFForum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Yes can't ever be in the RRHoF as the band, in essence, perpetuates racism By drawing from classical elements, prog rock implied to some that rock itself wasn’t artistically interesting or important enough to contain its complex ideas. And for many critics prog strayed too far from rock’s African-American origins, reinforcing the stereotype that associated European music with the intellect and African music with the body. ... The standard for artistic value in music, visual art, literature or any art form is fluid, shifting over time and fluctuating with cultural conditions and different audiences. At its birth, rock and roll itself was derided as primitive jungle music. Such a response was motivated by racism and the backlash of major record labels towards the economic threat of rising independent labels like Sun and Specialty.

lerxt1990 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Ozzy should be in as a solo artist. Lou Reed is a f***ing fraudulent pick, a glorified one hit wonder, whose dick was never dry after a Rolling Stone interview. Stevie Ray Vaughn was a very good choice. An 80s band or two should get in, like Motley Crue or Judas Priest.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
