The White Stripes, Missy Elliott, Joy Division/New Order Among 2023 Rock Hall Nominees

 

The proper thread title is 2023 Rock & Roll HOF screechfest.

 

Soundgarden.

Can Jack White go in by himself and leave Meg behind?

 

Zevon should be in. I agree on Jack White. He was pretty influential working with a lot of different artists but the White Stripes were fairly short lived. Rage doesn't have enough of a catalog. I really go back and forth on Soundgarden. I think they have just enough of a catalog to push them over the edge.

 

There will be no talking of shit about Meg White.

 

In my mind, the founding and definitive bands of each genre of music should be shoo-ins. And, for grunge, it’s Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains.

 

I can get behind that.

Then again, where's Cannibal Corpse?

 

Zevon was the musical underbelly of Hank Moody and Californication.

 

This is actually a really, really solid list.

 

For the first time in years, there isn't a "GTFO" to be found on the list. They're all worth considering.

 

I'm not well-acquainted with Joy Division/New Order, but I can't say I'd be taken aback by any of those nominees entering the HofF.

 

I thought the Spinners were already in.
