2021 Rock & Roll HOF induction nominee screechfest

[Mngwa]

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?

I'm okay with Tina having her own entry, separate from the man that regularly beat this s*** out of her.

 

[Songbird]

She's a hall of famer just for this.

Is this a Pat Smear or Belinda Carlisle reference? Or both?

When people ask who in the world you'd most want to have dinner with, I think my answer might be Pat Smear. That guy must have some unbelievable stories.

Truth: I saw that video for the first time at a party in 1989, on a TV with the sound off. Bought the CD the next day. (Turned out I wasn't disappointed in the music either; was a pretty solid album.) But man, she pegged the Solid-6-o-Meter for me at that time in my life.

Class of '21

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

Carole King should have been in decades ago. As a writer, she's one of the best in the last 75 years, with Lennon-McCartney and Jagger-Richards. Tapestry was the best selling album, ever, for a long time.
Their first success arrived in 1960, when the Shirelles recorded "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" This began a seven-year string of chart-toppers, including "Take Good Care Of My Baby" (Bobby Vee), "Up On the Roof" (The Drifters), "The Loco-Motion" (Little Eva), "One Fine Day" (The Chiffons), "Go Away Little Girl" (Steve Lawrence), "Don't Bring Me Down" (The Animals), "I'm Into Something Good" (Herman's Hermits), "Pleasant Valley Sunday" (The Monkees), and "(You Make Me Feel Like) a Natural Woman" (Aretha Franklin).
Her versions of many of her own songs are often as indelible as the performers whom originally recorded her works.

and it has not been the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a long time. It's the Popular Music Hall of Fame since 1953.

and it has not been the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a long time. It's the Popular Music Hall of Fame since 1953.

A lot of people say this and I don't agree. "Rock and Roll" is different from Rock. Rock and Roll is the popular music of the time, whenever that is. There are lots of styles that make it up, not just rock music.
