[Kris P Lettus]

I'm the epitome, of Pubic Enemy..

[PorkSoda]

Public Enemy and NWA?

Really?

[Kris P Lettus]

Both are groundbreaking platinum musical acts..

Why not??

[PorkSoda]

They're not rock.....

[Vastardikai]

Neither is Madonna or Abba. Both are in the Hall.

[Vastardikai]

Bands that are not on this list, eligible for Induction, and DESERVE it.

Pixies
Swans
Black Flag
Melvins
KISS
Weird Al
Bad Brains
Motorhead
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Three Dog Night

[DaveBrawl]

Still no KISS, still no caring.

[Kris P Lettus]

They're not rock.....

And the Bee Gee's are??

[#1-norm-fan]

How the hell in KISS not in the HoF yet???

[#1-norm-fan]

Also, though I doubt he'll get in anytime soon, Warren Zevon not being in it is pretty tragic.

[Shisen Kopf]

RIP Warren Zevon....and Vicky Venom

[#1-norm-fan]

RIP 2 every1 ever

[weather vane]

Fuckin Rush

[The Condor]

Maiden and more punk bands like the Pixies and I think the Offspring have reached the point to be considered. As for the current list, give me Public Enemy over NWA.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Donna Summer was Disco wasn't she? Is this just a Music hall of Fame now? I nominate John Williams.

[Kris P Lettus]

They've always had non "rock" acts.. Sam Cooke was in the first class inducted and he is anything but "rock"..

Dunno why yall are acting like something changed..

[Kane Knight]

Sam Cooke was R&B in a period where R&B was synonymous with rock "for black people." Cooke was, barring anything else, proto-rock, something I doubt you could logistically apply to any act that you're trying to justify being added.

Anyway, I don't particularly care. Look at the eligible foll not in and you understand it's not really an important thing to fuss over. But Sam cooke is a dumb example.

[Kris P Lettus]

Gospel, RnB, and Soul are just as much "rock" as Hip Hop..

If you are gonna eliminate non-rock musical genre's, then you should eliminate them all.. But like every argument you have on here, you are changing FACTS to help your argument, which you don't care about, obv..

:roll:

[Kris P Lettus]

I guess RnB, Country, Soul, Pop, Jazz, and Disco are considered "rock", in your opinion??

Everything minus Hip Hop, Classical, and Techno??

[Kris P Lettus]

Also, wouldn't Hop Hop be "rock for black people" in this era??

[FakeLaser]

Who cares

[mitch_h]

lol "Hop Hop" is a great typo. They should make their nominations really specific, like Randy Newman circa 1968-1974 + The First Toy Story soundtrack.

[Schlomey]

Rush and randy newman

[RP]

Still no Color Me Bad, still no caring

[Pintint]

Deep Purple should automatically be one of the first inductions.

[Kris P Lettus]

They did invent the three chord rock song..

:roll:

[parkmania]

Just for Krispy:

[Kris P Lettus]

That is f'n awesome..

[Bobholly138]

Heart
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
Kraftwerk
NWA
Public Enemy



That is the only ones on the list that should go in.

[Bobholly138]

Maiden and more punk bands like the Pixies and I think the Offspring have reached the point to be considered. As for the current list, give me Public Enemy over NWA.


I would love for teh Pixies to get in. But no way should Offspring ever get in. They had what 4 good songs total.

[Kris P Lettus]

Pretty Fly For a White Guy

:nono:

[Blue Demon]

RUSH better get in!

[The Condor]

Nah, the Offspring have been good for 20+ years. The singles are the ones that make money, hence the worst but most commercially accessible. "White Guy," "Original Prankster," "Get a Job" etc.. are how people get into them and then find the rest of their catalog is different and definitely worthy of discussion. They are a pre-eminent punk band.

[Bobholly138]

Pretty Fly For a White Guy

:nono:

Yeah a really crappy song.

LOL

Offspring have been horrible since their second album. And aren't a punk band,haven't been a punk band since their second album.

[DrA]

A lot changed after the second album.

[Bobholly138]

A lot changed after the second album.


Yeah they went to shit. Not that they were that great before then. They were your normal 90s era pop punk band. That then became a crappy pop band.
They were the Sum 41 or Blink 182 of the mid 90s.

[Vastardikai]
