Good for them. Their popularity peak was still in the mid 90s.

 

Exactly

 

Even Steven Wilson hates Kid A. So do I!

bulletboys? jackyl? I say it's the rock n roll hall of shame, folks!

 

Jackly's debut is pretty damn good actually. Their second album isn't too bad either but they went downhill quick after that.

 

would you put them in the hall of fame?

Nah, they pretty much shot their wad with that first album. Are they even around still?

I think they do those 3 or 4 band summer shed tours. or it seems like I've been scrolling through pollstar before and seen their name on a bill with like, great white and lynch mob, something like that

Yeah, that's definitely the kind of tours they would be on these days. Saw them open for Aerosmith in 1994. Pretty good set.

Still no Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Grand Funk Railroad, T. Rex, Dead Kennedys?

Lame and silly.

 

King Crimson, Tull, Grand Funk, Marc Bolan's band and the Kennedys aren't really HoF material. The first 3 should be in, although Lizzy does nothing for me personally.

maiden have been my 2nd favorite band for most of my life, but they are not nearly as influential as king crimson, and probably not as influential as t-rex either. maiden's influence doesn't really go beyond heavy metal.

 

and if it's sales you're going by, t-rex were as big in england in the 1970s as def leppard were in america in the 80s.

thing is, I can't really figure out what the hall is about. if their criteria is sales, they've got some questionable picks. if their criteria is influence, bands like bon jovi make no sense because they haven't influenced anybody.

You know you're getting older when a band like Radiohead whose popularity was at its peak back when I was in high school is eligible for the hall.

 

And a big majority of RATM fanbase are millennials. And that band and Radiohead are nominated for RnRHoF, while some other 'classic' acts are still ignored?

Why?

 

Crimson is a band that prog heads love, but the general public has no idea they exist. They've never had their "moment" when something they released really caught fire. I've tried to get into them, based on the raves they get on this forum. I can't.

 

Tull is similar, although you can argue that Aqualung enjoyed somewhat wide appeal. I personally like them, but that's hardly the test for HoF qualification.

 

Grand Funk and T. Rexstasy are pretty close to one hit wonders.

Anyone who thinks Radiohead are old news...don't come to the UK. Every new album release is treated like the second coming of Christ.

can't really say mainstream acceptance is #1 for the hall when bands like the ramones are in. and notice how MC5 are nominated this year - clearly some level of influence is factored into that decision.

 

crimson basically invented prog rock - you may not dig the tropes (long songs, little to no pop sensibility, mellotron), but the influence is there, and the influence extends beyond prog rock. ask david bowie

 

compare that to priest and maiden, who are both seen as spinal tap inspirations outside of hard rock/metal circles

every radiohead record creates a huge buzz in the states as well. people here just remember being annoyed by creep 25 years ago, but ask people who don't post on a rush forum what they think

re: Tull's wide appeal, what about a string of gold (11) and platinum (5) albums )some reaching #1 Billboard status), two #1 singles and 7 other top 10 charting singles, and 60 million albums sold? Or selling out five nights in a row at the 20k seat LA Forum?

 

Tull were huge in the early to mid-70s.

I think an artist either needs to be extremely influential or popular. Crimson's purported influence on someone like Bowie notwithstanding, I just don't see them being a HoF band, unless HoF is a synonym for "someone who their fans like."
