ReRushed Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I just watched NBC Nightly News and they mentioned the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I believe they mentioned every nominee except Deep Purple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarian Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I watched an interesting documentary on PBS called Great Museums, this one was it is about the RORHOF Museum in Cleveland.The Director of the Museum ( Greg Harris) claims that the purpose of the Museum is to pull together all of the genres that Rock and Roll have morphed into or had an influence on,"So, it's not four skinny guys with long hair and guitars only," explains Greg Harris, President and CEO of the museum." It's also vocalists, folk singers, soul music, dance music, hip-hop, punk, heavy metal, grunge, and electronic dance music .All are branches of the tree of rock and roll."So, this is why so many groups are nominated, because they are believed to be a hybrid of rock and roll.Okay, all of this bs makes sense to me now.Just think if it were the music hall of fame how much more fun choosing would be... :sarcastic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 It's a shame that some of these bands haven't been in the R&R Hall of Fame even with the huge impact they have done on music. thats why it is a joke Want to get really mad?Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Journey, Foreigner, Jethro Tull, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Bon Jovi and Ozzy Osbourne (Solo)were NOT GOOD enough to make THIS list of consideration?Bon Jovi is definitely not good enough! Wrong.I've never been so right in my entire life! You destroyed am entire ERA of rock music with your opinions.Damn, that's impressive! Go me! I did enjoy watching Nirvana eat Warrant for breakfast.When will Don Johnson get in? He's not in already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I really think the Hall is trying their hardest to distance themselves from the " skinny guys with long hair and guitars" .. That's why we will probably never see the likes of Maiden, Priest, Motorhead.. I'd love to sit in on a committee meriting and see the reaction if any of these bands are brought up.

And I know enough that the three bands you mentioned belong in any legitimate rock music hall of fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_World_Man Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I really think Yes and Deep Purple will get in since they were more or less snubbed last time they tried. Also, I'd be surprised if the Cars and Chicago didn't get in. I like some Cheap Trick but can't say I'm a huge fan. I think eventually they should get in though(probably next year if not this year). Any major band formed in the sixties who is still around should definitely be in there though. That's why there is not much justice in the world if Yes, DP and Chi-town don't get in. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
