Will you travel to the Hall of Fame when Pearl Jam goes in?

Personally, I'm not a Hall of Fame-type of guy, but I would like to travel to Canton when Tom Brady goes in and to Cleveland when Pearl Jam goes in. I think it's one of those rare moments that even being around the surrounding area by so many fans reliving their favorite memories is what will make it so special.

Sure, it's neat when you win a pushcart award or get inducted to something, but in the end it's all bullshit.

I think the fans say thank you and give kudos for years of entertainment the best when they buy their albums and celebrate the music when they pay to see the bands play live.
I will appreciate your viewpoint and agree to disagree, but the hall of fame feels like a panel of whosits saying, "Hey, remember when you sold all those records? Yeah, that was cool. Here's a plaque. Now dance once more so we can see if you still got it."
In the grand scheme of things, I really don't know what it all means... a justification of popularity? I dunno...

whats rap got to do with rock n roll
"Life Is What Happens To You When Your Busy Making Other Plans" John Lennon
I agree with lukin...for rap artists and pop artists like Madonna to be in while Rush keeps getting snubbed lessens the credibility of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. :geek:
i concur
Alpine Valley Resort is etched in my brain!!!
I was just at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame yesterday...
We went to Cleveland to see Chris Cornell last night,
and decided to make a DAY out of the roadtrip!!!
While technically not "IN" the Hall of Fame yet...
Pearl Jam and several of the "GRUNGE" groups are already represented in the Hall of Fame!
There's a GREAT Exhibit that features several of the MAJOR cities (Memphis, London, LA, San Francisco, just to name a few) that were influential in Rock,
and SEATTLE is the most recent / latest city represented in this exhibit!!
There are several Pearl Jam items featured in the exhibit, including a "SMASHED" guitar of Mike's, a Pearl Jam notebook and a copy of this Neil Young / PJ poster from shows at The Gorge & Portland:
as well as a bunch of Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, Green River, Soundgarden, Mudhoney memorabilia!!
Whether or not you feel that the Hall of Fame is BS...
Pearl Jam continues to play an important role in both the history and future of Rock & Roll
and they should DEFINITELY be recognized for their accomplishments :ugeek:

I was thinking the same thing. I went there the day after the PJ show in cleveland a few years back and couldnt believe what I was seeing. There were some really cool things but Britney Spears outfits? N Sync shit? Come on man.
I look forward to the day they are honored with the greats ...
cause they are the greatest!

If it is an industry dinner.... not worth it.
Put those others in a music hall of fame...but no Rush...just wow...Neil Peart is 1 of the top 3 drummers of alltime, Geddy and Alex are no slouch either.

I don't know for sure that PJ will go in the first year they are eligible. Look how long it took pioneers like Black Sabbath to get nominated.
I don't understand their criteria other than the 25 years since your first release.

I read an article about this recently. Music industry insiders who are part of the committee come up with nominations, which they have to defend and then are narrowed down (not sure how). Would be curious about how this works if anyone else has more info.
I thought it was called Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame...the they should rename to the music hall of fame...just sayin'.
