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.

R&R is afraid of the Woke crowd


Dec 3, 2021, 8:09 AM

If they don’t include Rap and Hip Hop

But reverse the situation, hayell naw!

You can just say black. We can read through the lines.

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

It's a big tent for sure. I guess R&R is different things to

different people but it does seem like it could be a little more...focused.

But this was pretty awesome regardless:

His walkoff is epic.


Dec 3, 2021, 8:41 AM

He's like "Cool. I got a thing to get to."

Todd Rundgren is definitely deserving.


Dec 3, 2021, 8:34 AM

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.

I'll concede. I had his stuff when it came out.

just never a big fan.

but the name remains the same

how Warren Zevon is not in there is mind boggling

If you're adding SG and RATM, might as well add Audioslave

You see what I did there?

When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!


Zevon is perplexing for sure.


Dec 3, 2021, 9:13 AM [ in reply to it has changed over the years ]

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

It's basically a popularity contest like the Heisman right?

I guess if you #### off enough voters you are out.

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


Dec 3, 2021, 9:52 AM

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

lol.

Re: R and R HOF is a joke


Dec 3, 2021, 10:05 AM

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 ...

Dec 3, 2021, 10:10 AM

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

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Agree. King wrote about everything that was for a while,


Dec 3, 2021, 10:13 AM

then transitioned to performer. Had basically one high selling album - as I remember it - but the body of work seems to qualify several times over. When somebody writes a broadway show about you ...

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.
