custom55 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) I'm not sure what the RRHOF stands for anymore. Cheers to MC5 for getting nominated. Edited February 2, 2022 by custom55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Well here’s my immediate 2 cents: Rule 1: the rock hall sucks Rule 2: if they make a good induction that they could’ve made more than two years ago, that doesn’t make them suck any less Rule 3: understand that it’s not all rock and roll anymore, but they really ought to change the name because of that, but they don’t because branding, which is kinda dumb, which makes sense because they suck All that out of the way, here’s the rant: I think just about every artist up for nomination this year deserves to be in. How is Kate Bush not in yet? How is Dolly Parton not in yet? Obligatory how is Judas Priest not in yet? Personally I’d ditch The Eurythmics and I don’t really know anything about Fela Kuti. The only possible explanation for how Pat Benatar isn’t in yet is sexism. She’s as rock and roll as they come, had like a dozen significant hits (at least and handful of which are all time classics, practically rock standards), get’s played every day on rock radio around the world to this day, and I find it hard to believe with those stats she hasn’t been a standard influence of most pop/rock singer songwriters since her debut. Did I mention she’s in the first few tracks of Guitar Hero? Everyone my age knows and loves Hit Me With Your Best Shot. They should just skip voting and induct everyone they’ve nominated. It’s not like they can’t just livestream a multi-hour long induction ceremony to cut venue and seating costs and blame it on covid protocol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Nice to see DD…finally get recognized.That’s a rather sexist nickname for Dolly Parton, isn’t it? ;) Got nothing against her. Rhinestone is the best "so bad it's good" comedy I've seen. Unintentionally funny comedy compared to unintentionally funny drama is hard to do but her and Stallone pulled it off.

RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Rage against the machine made one really incredible record than faded fast in my eyes. One album wonder. I saw Rage open up for Pearl Jam on the "Ten" Tour at the Warfield in SF.After the gig, LaDouche jumped into the crowd went to the back and started handing out demo tapes. My buddy got one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolly is just an awesome person. She is super charitable and her best one imo is that she gives books to children.

ReRushed Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Pat Benatar is not already in, but Madonna is??? Madonna's great and all, but she's just not as cool as Pat Benatar.It might be because Madonna is perceived to be a trailblazer regarding image and attitude. She benefited from and took advantage of MTV and music videos and became a cultural icon. Pat Benatar belted out a couple of good songs for several years and dropped out of the public's eye when Madonna flooded movies, music, TV, concerts, magazines... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw her acoustic show with her hubby. She can still belt them out. Is she RRHOF worthy? I dunno. I wouldn't call her overly influential. But that voice she had in 1981. My god.

I guess you could say rock groups that had female singers paved the way, but a group is not a solo artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Benatar was hardly an innovator or trailblazer. She is a very good singer who sang some popular songs. Ann Wilson, Janis Joplin, Chrissie Hynde, Grace Slick, Tina Turner, Ronnie Spector... and pretty much every other female singer before Pat Benator opened the door for Pat Benatar. With that said, Pat Benatar may very well be a better singer than all the female singers who came before her, but she certainly didn't blaze and new trails.

Solo is different from being part of a band. No one before Benatar sang hard rock solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't get mentioned as a great female singer as often as I believe she should. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I am not much of a pat fan. Pre mtv is ok. Her mtv videos were terrible imo. My question is her husband being inducted too? He was a huge part of her sound and a pretty decent guitarist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
