Whoops I clicked post before I was done.
But now all I can think to say about the Red Hot Chili Peppers making the list is "whuh."
-
Whoever ends up making the final cut, the all-star finale is guaranteed to be a humdinger.
-
I thought this was for The Best Show Hall of Fame.
How about Iggy Pop's solo career. Would you let him in based on that?

It is a very Best Show list, isn't it? Wasn't Iggy already in? I seem to remember him and Madonna standing next to each other for pictures last year. Do I have that wrong?

I thought the same thing, but it looks like we're confusing him with either John Mellencamp or Leonard Cohen.

Seriously? I don't like the band either but I think there are only a handful of bands in their time frame that were more successful than they have been.

No doubt - but it's not the only way to measure a band's worth, right? and for that matter, success itself can be measured in many different ways.
What has RHCP contributed to music besides $$$$? I can't really think of a band who would count them as an influence - am I missing some band that the young peoples are listening to these days?
-
Oh, ABBA and KISS sharing a stage, that's like a Best Show dream come true. Or nightmare, I don't know which.
-
I totally get what you are saying but every band that has been as successful as them (except the Monkees!) has made it in from what I see. Arena bands are rarely influential or maybe they are influential to the next generation of arena bands but you can't deny the fan base. U2, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Dave Matthews Band... love it or hate it those are the best selling artists of this generation and they will all be in the hall of fame. What I wonder is who's left after those bands and a few of the alt acts like Radiohead and Beck and when they'll start inducting country pop/rock acts. The hall has not been known to dig into the non mainstream barrel but you'd think they would have to in the future since critical acclaim is changing. The Grammys haven't caught on yet, but when bands of today are up for induction you wouldn't think a band like Animal Collective who has received pretty much universal acclaim would be passed over for the Black Eyed Peas.

Whenever the topic of legendary rock and roll comes up, the next 3 words you always hear are "LL", "Cool" and "J".

I'm stealing that line for my Facebook status.

Yes Auntie you are wrong.
Madonna had him sing her songs to show the injustice of his exclusion.
Screw those yahoos.
Madonna is rock and roll?
-
It stopped being just rock and roll a long time ago. Instead of inducting the trailblazers they decided to find platinum artists in different genres. Just knowing that The Stooges aren't in already discredits the entire hall.

I know, I don't know why I'm all p.o.ed about RHCP when this whole thing is just ridiculous. I have an irrational hatred for that band and get really mad when anyone praises them.
I listened to the stooges all day yesterday, really loud, as a proper protest.
-

Fixed. :'(
Wait, no, it seems you were right the first time.
-
You know, in something like twenty years the whole "Madonna/Run DMC/artist that doesn't play guitars, maaan" argument is going to look stupid when the entire ballot is like 7 hip hop artists, 5 R&B artists, a few pop artists and Hinder.
-
and Hinder.
I actually hope they do get in, because whenever I see their name the MST3K fan in me wants to pronounce it "heinder."
-
It should go without saying that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a sham. Jann Wenner and the RRHOF selection committee play favorites and hold far too many personal grudges. That bands like the Monkees, the Stooges, the Modern Lovers, the New York Dolls, and countless others aren't in, renders the RRHOF invalid to me.
With all of that being said, the list of nominees this year doesn't look all that bad. Who would I put in?
ABBA
KISS
The Stooges
Darlene Love
Donna Summer
Genesis

There are only two rock and roll bands on the list.
Maybe they should call it the Rock and Pop hall-of-fame. Just for accuracy's sake.
-
It ceased to be the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the minute Miles Davis was inducted. So why not put in Donna Summer and/or ABBA?
-
I would like Genesis to win and then play 'Invisible Touch' at the induction ceremony.
