2022 Rock & Roll HOF induction nominee screechfest

I will add Motorhead - criminally overlooked - Warren Zevon and Little Feat who made loads of great records and were critical faves and commercially successful.

And how is Willie Nelson - who aside from his prolific output for decades has had his weed-loving, outlaw persona co-opted by a lot of lesser talents - not already in?

 

I had no idea Warren Zevon wasn’t in the Hall.

Milhaud but not Tailleferre? WTF?

That Poulenc and Satie aren't in is a scandal.

 

Completely agree on Motorhead. Another harder-edged act that is far more deserving than Judas Priest. Hell, more deserving than Deep Purple, another band that should have been relegated to the singles wing.

Though I'm a fan of neither, I'm going to guess both Phish and Dave Matthews Band both eventually get in (Phish even inducted Genesis at the 2010 ceremony, and those who step up to do that usually fall into the hall's good graces; DMB has been nominated numerous times but hasn't gotten over the hump).

Could see Motley Crue eventually getting the nod in a year when they're desperate for names. The hall will have to deal with glam metal at some point, and they're the godfathers of it.

 

And I didn't say anything about pulling crowds on any main stage. Although Styx and REO will play the local 20,000-seater in a month or so. I'm saying, if millions of people like your music, there's a decent chance it doesn't suck. Yet the cools -- the fans of the punk bands and shit that sell no records -- can't ever ackowledge that. I don't like coffee. I think it's disgusting. I will never say it isn't good. See how that works?

 

Ace of Spades is Irv's (John Turturro) favorite song when he's painting in the show Severance.

 

I fucking love Foreigner. That is all.

 

"Long, Long Way From Home" is very underrated.

 

"Urgent" is a great song

 

There were two Wishbone Ash (look THAT ONE up kids) acts on tour not long ago. I went to see the Andy Powell WA. Ah, the 70s.

My feelings toward Styx stem back to a night in 1978 that went waaay off the rails. The song Miss America gives me flashbacks.

That said, I am not a fan of their music but don't hate it, them or their fans. I'm sure many would think my taste in music is very much sucky, and that's cool. To each their own.

I bought the Bow Wow Wow album when it came out. Still have it in, I should look the value up on Discogs. The kids are driving up album prices. The guitar player passed, did the singer as well?

 

When do we start thinking of some of the late 90s/early 2000s acts, like Wilco, or the Strokes? Just throwing out examples, I don't really think the Strokes merit it but Wilco might.

 

The Strokes feel like a band that shouldn’t get in but will. Just as the representative of an era. Indie rock bands with longevity just don’t have enough cultural cache to warrant it, so the Strokes might be the only way to document that rock revival of that era.
