R and R HOF is a joke
Dec 3, 2021, 8:04 AM
|
|
watched some of the show (HBO) last night - not sure when this happened, but Carole King was inducted. Seriously? She should have been in years ago.
Todd Rundgren or however you spell his name - he had a couple of good songs, but HOF?
On one had, a person who should have been in years ago and another one that shows they are scraping the bottom of the barrel.
And I have no idea why rap, etc. is in the R and R HOF.

Not sure there is a Rap or Hip Hop Hall of Fame. If there is, it should be in Atlanta.

different people but it does seem like it could be a little more...focused.
But this was pretty awesome regardless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y

Todd Rundgren is definitely deserving.

He's done FAR more than just turn out a few songs...go read his Wiki page at least.
FYI, his Something/Anything album is a masterpiece.

In spite of his myriad personal issues, the man was a genius when it came to music.

It's not r&r, but The Smiths should be in.

Their influence is tremendous and their tunes are awesome, but their fans are too depressed to advicate for them.

I found this tidbit online. Might justify some of their decisions...maybe...
Why is hip-hop in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? The Rock Hall's primary function is "to recognize the contributions of those who have had a significant impact on the evolution, development and perpetuation of rock and roll." There is no question that hip hop has heavily influenced today's rock artists -- Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, and countless ...

But as much influence as this guy has had makes that a real mystery...Think how many covers other people have done of his work

Rundren must be one of those things you get or you don't. I don't. If his sales/influence justify it, then it is what it is. There are people I didn't care about who are in the baseball hall of fame.
Every year someone gets in because they are someone's subjective idea of 'the coolest thing ever', and someone who was an objective leader in the profession doesn't get in. If someone with the stature of Elton John didn't go on a personal crusade to get Leon Russell in, he still wouldn't be in, and he was as productive/influential as anyone not named Paul McCartney. So, yeah, it seems to be in inside thing, like who gets to be cheerleader.
