I would love to see Darlene Love and the Chantels get in. Girl Group Love!
@Christian - My sentiments exactly.
I'm hoping Donna Summer makes it. Most people hear her name and think disco only, but the woman is the Queen Of Music as far as I'm concerned. Why? Becasue her music catalouge includes various music styles, including rock. Winning a Grammy for a rock song should speak volumes for her and to all the uneducated persons who only have her in a disco box. And, by the way, disco is still here, it's just been progressed and renamed with titles like dance, house, electronica.
Here are the top 25 vote-getters for "Deserving of the R&R HoF" - they got 3 of the top 15 (Genesis, KISS and The Hollies) 1 Rush 2 Yes 3 Chicago 4 Genesis 5 Deep Purple 6 Moody Blues 7 Doobie Brothers 8 Alice Cooper 9 Dire Straits 10 Kiss 11 Jethro Tull 12 The Cars 13 Carole King 14 Electric Light Orchestra 15 Heart 16 Neil Diamond 17 Peter Gabriel (solo) 18 Steve Miller 19 Journey 20 Jim Croce 21 Pete Townshend (solo) 22 Styx 23 The Hollies 24 The Guess Who 25 Stevie Ray Vaughan
Uh... WHERE'S RUSH?
i'm with schaeftown! go ABBA! and annie, you put that picture up just for me, didn't you? i'm special.
You've made your point, RRHoF. I guess Neil Diamond is just too good for you all.
How has ABBA not already gotten in? They are the only sure-fure bet on this list.
Very disappointed again that SLADE and DEEP PURPLE are not in the Rock Hall after all if it wasn't for Slade we probably wouldn't have KISS. I'm going to put my story on a web site soon that involves Slade & Deep Purple. Part of the story takes place in St. Louis. Which brings me to the point; the worst thing the powers to be in St. Louis have done to Rock & Roll was to tear down The Ambassador Theatre. It could have been one of R&R's greatest landmarks. Follow me on Twitter for when my story will be released. ROCK ON
Stooges FTW. Both revolutionary and highly enjoyable.
aw, sweet! Darlene Love + Jimmy Cliff. Sadly, the Hall is kreepy and crepe'y Jann Wenner's baby.
I'm thrilled to finally see Genesis get an official nod - I think it's a sure bet that they will probably get in. I'm very okay with this list, even the L.L. Cool J part! But that's probably because I grew up as a child of the 80s! Gotta say though...ABBA? Oy.
