driventotheedge Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Bout time Stevie Ray got nominated but as usual no metal or prog bands. Here's a thumbs up for War and The Spinners. Both are very worthy, especially War. Edited October 10, 2014 by driventotheedge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 King Crimson, Yes, Deep Purple all deserve induction before anybody on that list. And I like a lot of stuff on that list. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushBoingo Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Green Day? Seriously, Green Day? They have some good tunes, but that's about it. Green Day? Really?I will give you some context. Green Day (along with The Offspring) were leaders in the second wave of Punk Rock, and it's main stream acceptance. They also were perhaps the last band to have any hard rock sound to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 (with 2004's Boulevard of Broken Dreams). They are very influential to groups to this day as well. The Rock Hall looks at music as well as cultural impact and lasting influence on rock, and Green Day holds up well in all three categories. I personally think their songs are great too, and reviews tend to agree. They are perhaps the closest thing to prog-punk we will ever get too, considering that they have written 2 multi-part 9 minute songs, two concept albums in the form of rock operas, and a three album trilogy. None the less, these guys do probably deserve it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 but anyway, some of these guys are pretty deserving, and if rap is in and not goin anywhere, well, NWA are as deserving as anyone. it blows that we still don't have some heavy metal (besides sabbath and metallica) or any prog rock besides rush, floyd and genesis. but who cares anyway?

The Cat 3 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Lou Reed, Stevie Ray Vaughn, War, Joan Jett and the Black Hearts & Kraftwerk are all great selections. I'd like to see Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, Def Leppard & Cheap Trick get in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I'm a huge Sting fan, but I think it's a crime that he may get in before Yes or Deep Purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) I'm surprised at this list. Only ones I would consider worthy would be Stevie Ray and Sting. I agree about Green Day. What were they thinking? Edited October 10, 2014 by EagleMoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I'm a huge Sting fan, but I think it's a crime that he may get in before Yes or Deep Purple.And Smoke on the Water is such a huge song, especially for beginning guitar players. Deep Purple should be in just for that song if they did nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Bill Withers? Isn't that the guy who did that song "Ain't No Sunshine" eons ago? Did he ever have another hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderfinger Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Bill Withers? Isn't that the guy who did that song "Ain't No Sunshine" eons ago? Did he ever have another hit? Yes. "Lean On Me," for example, is an iconic song. Withers also had hits with "Lovely Day" and "Use Me," among others. I actually find him quite deserving, alongside the Spinners. That aside, I cannot believe Yes still did not receive a nomination. They've sold approximately 40 million albums, and are widely considered one of, if not the best, artists from a genre that they were instrumental in establishing. Moreover, they have influenced more artists than the Rolling Stone Magazine/Springsteen coterie is willing to acknowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 OH GOD YES SRV!!!11!1! Sting deserves it as well. Green Day?? Nine Inch Nails??? How about we swap out those groups for ones that don't suck? You know...the ones we've been waiting for for years...Yes, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden...
