sonictheplumber Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 don't get your hopes up first-wave prog acts will likely have to get in before rush is even nominated meaning we are gonna have to get king crimson, yes, and jethro tull in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like I care too much, but I'm sick of the glaring slight and I'm tired of all the "Rush didn't make it again" talk for the 13th time. But, I digress..

ReRushed Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 QUOTE (sonictheplumber @ Jul 20 2011, 09:10 PM) nah it's not Yeah, it is. First, the non-Gabriel 70's albums are very good. That counts for something. And Peter Gabriel, overall, is very respected, even his time in Genesis. At the time, critics weren't into it, but in retrospect they are. I'm not a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame admirer, but I do know more than commercial success is factored in when they admit someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

presto123 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'm as big a fan Neil fan as anybody but he is not the greatest drummer on the planet. Like he said in his book there are at least 50 guys ahead of him but we don't judge drummers just on technicality therefore Neil is one of my favs. Especially in his younger years. It is his creativity and trademark style combined with chops that truly makes him great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had stopped at Wind and Wuthering they never, ever would have gotten in. Had they only started with Abacab, they would have gotten in. IMO.

I dunno, Jann Wenner thinks they're cute? Did The Velvet Underground and The Stooges sell a lot of records? I never said commercial success wasn't factored in, I simply said it's not the only thing factored in. Edited July 21, 2011 by ReRushed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonictheplumber Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 the velvet underground and the stooges (both great bands imo) were masturbated upon by lester bangs and robert christgau, and if they liked a band, that's immediate induction into the fame. so nah, it's not like album sales are ALL that matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[except for the yuppie...and the central park...and the running...and morning] Invisible Touch was the first album I ever bought. I listened that thing to death. Still love the album.
