Mithrandir Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 It really is kind of odd that Radiohead got in so easily when it took so long for a band like Def Leppard who massively out sold them to get in. Oh yeah, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden aren't in yet but Radiohead is? Who can take this hall seriously?Radiohead deserves indiction. It's not their fault other deserving bands haven't been inducted. Personally, as popular as Def Leppard is, I don't think they are worthy of any hall of fame honors. Priest and Maiden are no doubters, IMHO. Def Leppard has two albums that have sold over ten million copies each. If that's not worthy of an hall of fame induction then nothing is. too bad they have fewer than five good songsThey have 5 good songs per album side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalformedEarthborn Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I would assume that the typical Rush fan wouldn't also be a Cure fan. Was anyone else rooting for them? Meh. They have a few songs that I like but not enough to buy an album. They've been around for a long time and have obviously been making music that somebody likes. They have more fans than it seems because most of their fans are "stay at home and do art" types like myself haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I would assume that the typical Rush fan wouldn't also be a Cure fan. Was anyone else rooting for them? I was. I don't think they have either the popularity or influence to merit induction, but they released an EP called Quadpus that will always make me think of a college girlfriend and smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The results are in:The CureStevie NicksRadioheadDef LeppardJanet JacksonRoxy MusicThe Zombies Terrific list! Really happy to see solo Nicks enter. An underrated icon. You think so? I feel Stevie Nicks is held in very high esteem within the music world. A huge part of Mac's later success. But does her solo stuff really represent rock's greatest work? I say this is a fairly weak group. Had they added devo and todd Rundgren i would been thought higher....How the heck does DEVO not get in? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should at least like their premise as a band because they're all about the de-evolution this country is going through, especially on the political front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anyone who enjoys music can be objective about what a band like Devo accomplished. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did it the hard way. Recently watched a few of their videos on amazon prime. For free and recommened 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
