invisible airwave Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Still no Yes, Cars, ELO, Cure, Dire Straits or Roxy Music but what to you expect from an institution run by a magazine that puts Minaj,Kartrashian,Weeknd,Swift and Trump on the cover in one year?

invisible airwave Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 They probably thought that voting Purple in is throwing enough of a bone to the prog fans...so no Yes this year. <sarcasm> And of course we have to promote cultural diversity, so NWA is the token R&B or rap group this year <end sarcasm>. Random thought...it would be interesting to see Rush cover a Purple song, just to see Al rip it up. Unfortunately, Ged doesn't have the keyboard chops to match Lord. If they want to promote diversity, they should have nominated Living Colour. Those first two albums are gold, Jerry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toscanobarga Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Every Steve Morse album is better. If anyone got gypped here it's Morse, not the guy who played on one album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Difficult to Cure, Straight Between The Eyes and Bent Out of Shape as well as Slaves and Masters. ;) The joke was waiting to be made...but truth be said, I don´t think Slaves & Masters is such a bad album...just way too different from Purple´s output. Come Taste the Band is great too, but when I listen to it I think of it as an album made by a different band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought two of the albums they released after their comeback in 2004, but they weren´t good at all. Live they still deliver though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony R Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Just for the record I believe that NWA fully deserve their induction. Very, very influential and significant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghorn-leghorn Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Great response from Gillan. Morse and Airey are hardly nameless sidemen. They are both world class musicians who have been in the band for at least 15 years and deserve to share the spotlight with the rest of the band.

Rod in Toronto Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 :o :o Morse joined in 1994!!!! He´s been in the band longer than Blackmore and a bunch of others who made the cut... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
