2021 Rock & Roll HOF induction nominee screechfest

Can't believe Meredith Brooks is 62 now - another Oregonian!

 

Looked her up and found this from 2020. She's been through a lot.

41 years since the hits, man does that make me feel even older than I already do.

The Motels’ Martha Davis on surviving the ’80s, the subconscious art of songwriting, and the tragic side of motherhood

 

It used to be a thing when she'd come back to town, you'd hear reports of where she was, sightings at bars, etc. These days, crickets. It's like she fell off the earth.

 

She had a reputation in Canuckistani music circles as a raging egomaniac and when her second album failed to reach the lofty heights of her debut that was pretty much the last we heard of her.

 

She's a hall of famer just for this.

 

I’ll take a stab.

So that’s one clear yes vote from me.

 

Class of '21

Foo Fighters
The Go-Go's
JAY-Z
Carole King
Todd Rundgren
Tina Turner

 

Jay-Z and Carole King aren't really rock, but they certainly are influential music artists. Can't argue too much against them.

About damn time Todd got in, between his own music and his work as a producer.

 

Solid class. Pleasantly surprised by Todd Rundgren making it -- didn't really expect that.

Still don't get why Tina Turner is going in solo when she's already in with Ike. That one album was hall of fame worthy?

 

Iron Maiden snubbed again. Total bullshit.

 

But Iran Maiden is getting in! (crossthreading)
