EagleMoon Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Linda Ronstadt is rock and roll? And for that matter, Cat Stevens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersyl Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Rush should be inducted EVERY year from now on! :rush: :7up: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Linda Ronstadt is rock and roll? And for that matter, Cat Stevens? Absolutely they both are rock. Adult Contemporary Rock.. but still, they qualify IMNTBHO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 would be nice if Yes and Peter Gabriel get in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Linda Ronstadt is rock and roll? And for that matter, Cat Stevens? Linda Ronstadt transcended musical genres.....her voice was that good. She was the best female singer of her generation if not longer. She's done rock, pop, country-western, Spanish...... If anyone deserves to be in the Hall, it is her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Funny how Rush mentioned Yes as an influence, and they just happen to make it on the ballot the next year.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I am a big Yes fan but a bigger Rush fan. Their body of work is tremendous but their sound and style is not for everyone. Not unlike Rush, it is just over most people's heads. The one major difference between them is the endless lineup changes over the years. It's a bit of a turnoff but doesn't overshadow their accomplishments musically. If they get in, which they should have long ago, they may need a bigger stage! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

analog guy Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 A lot of worthy inductees there, IMO. I wonder if Rush has opened the door for the progressive genre in general. It'll be interesting to see if Yes gets in because of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaminbenb Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Linda Ronstadt is rock and roll? And for that matter, Cat Stevens? Linda Ronstadt makes me change the channel on my XM...can't STAND her voice! Cat Stevens has a pretty decent body of work..his is a little more towards folk rock, but he's rock! Would love to see Yes get in, I thought they were already in...but their stuff is off the charts as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see if Yes gets in because of it.I was going to say something like this. Rush get's in, and they're almost eager to continue to atone. The Gates of Delirium... er, I mean, The Floodgates of Atonement have been opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 This year's hopefuls: The Paul Butterfield Blues Band Chic Deep Purple Peter Gabriel Hall & Oates KISS LL Cool J Nirvana N.W.A. Link Wray The Meters The Replacements Linda Ronstadt Cat Stevens Yes The Zombies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonfrippy Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Damn...the Replacements are on the ballot. I like them but I love Husker Du a hell of alot more. Would be nice if they were ever inducted. Would love to see Bob Mould on the same stage as Grant Hart. Would probably beat him up. :laughing guy: Yes and KISS should get in as well as Peter Gabriel. Holding out hope that King Crimson is ever on the ballot but with Fripp's disdain of the music "business" I don't think it will ever happen let alone them be inducted.

Cygnus 2112 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Yes, Kiss, Deep Purple, Peter Gabriel and Nirvana should be the bands getting in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Too soon for Nirvana...Kiss should go into the "Marketing" hall of fame...(or the most interesting interview hall of fame) never thought their music was "all that"! Deep Purple was a great band as well...I could agree to them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
