2012 Rock N Roll HOF nominees announced
 
Quote:
New York (September 27, 2011) — The nominations for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 were announced today. The nominees are:
· Beastie Boys
· The Cure
· Donovan
· Eric B. & Rakim
· Guns 'N Roses
· Heart
· Joan Jett and The Blackhearts
· Freddie King
· Laura Nyro
· Red Hot Chili Peppers
· Rufus with Chaka Khan
· The Small Faces/The Faces
· The Spinners
· Donna Summer
· War

“The 2012 Nominees embody the broad scope of what ‘rock and roll’ means,” said Joel Peresman, President and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. “From vocal groups to hip hop, from singer-songwriters to hard rocking artists, this group represents the spirit of what we celebrate at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”

Ballots will be sent to more than 500 voters, who will select artists to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the 27th Annual Induction Ceremony. To be eligible for nomination, an individual artist or band must have released its first single or album at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination. The 2012 Nominees had to release their first recording no later than 1986.
Assuming 7 inductees, I support Beasties, Cure, Donovan, Joan, RHCP, Rufus, Faces.


And once again, Rush is left off the ballot.

The credential is that you're eligible, when you're first album has been around for 25 years.

I am disappointed that guys like Rush, KISS, Ted Nugent, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Europe, and Loudness are continually given the shaft.

Eddie Trunk was right...The Hall Of Fame is ran by a bunch of dummies!!!

Vastardikai 09-28-2011 04:48 AM
Proof of inane bullshit: The Red Hot Chilli Peppers have been nominated more times than KISS, and Rush COMBINED.

LuigiD 09-28-2011 11:43 AM
I don't even know why I read this thread because I knew I was going to be pissed.
Donna Summer? WTF? :rofl:

Has Iron Maiden ever been nominated?

DLVH84 09-29-2011 11:43 AM
No, but Iron Maiden's been eligible since 2005.

Rammsteinmad 09-29-2011 12:00 PM
Seriously... :nono:

Rammsteinmad 09-29-2011 12:01 PM
On a positive note... only two years to go and Dream Theater are eligible. :cool:

Rammsteinmad 09-29-2011 12:02 PM
Not that the RNR HOF means anything anyway...

I seem to recall Alex Lifeson or someone from Rush saying that didn't care that they've never been nominated because it's a joke anyway. :yes:

Insightful first post there by Big John.

Shisen Kopf 10-02-2011 08:06 AM
The Cure? Such a gay band

Innovator 10-04-2011 10:22 AM
Wow no Rush yet? Stupid.

DLVH84 10-04-2011 02:00 PM
No Rush, No KISS, No Deep Purple, No Rainbow...

What the hell's wrong with them?

Shisen Kopf 10-04-2011 11:57 PM

Pretty laughable that Donna Summer makes it over Rush, Deep Purple, and Iron Maiden. What a joke.

where's Color Me Bad?

parkmania 10-05-2011 01:22 PM
One place in front of Milli Vanilli. Oh, and it's Color Me Badd.

RP 10-05-2011 02:24 PM
Oh and its FUCK YOU OK?

Skippord 10-07-2011 11:40 AM
what and or who is Donovan

Rammsteinmad 10-07-2011 01:44 PM
I bought a Donovan Greatest Hits CD for my Mum for Christmas a few years ago. No idea what music it is though, I think it's some kinda 70's acoustic pop thingy like Cat Stevens or something. No idea.

Language, gentlemen. :nono:

Vastardikai 10-09-2011 06:03 AM
Because they are officially eligible, I say the Melvins deserve consideration. If for no other reason, their influence on their best known Roadie: Kurt Cobain. And there's MANY more reason why they should be considered, when you take into account their influence on bands like Soundgarden, Tool, Crowbar, Eyehategod, Dillinger Escape Plan, Hank Williams III (Disc 2 of "Straight to Hell" was the first ever Country Music Noise Album), Sun O))), and Mastodon.

Similarly, I have to mention Thin Lizzy, KISS (kind of duh, if you have any respect for rock theatrics), Deep Purple (another Heavy Metal cornerstone, alongside Sabbath), Rush (I mean, seriously), Black Flag (very influential in Hardcore, and the "My War" album helped laid the foundation for grunge as we know it), Weird Al (the longest running novelty act of all time), Judas Priest and Iron Maiden (both duh, as they paved the way for hundreds of heavy metal bands.)

RUSH not being nominated kills me :rant:

Some good bands to be nominated but you guys are right that some bands should probably already be inducted and they aren't even nominated
