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.

    For me, the Hall of Fame is akin to winning a Grammy.

    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 it's also the fans' turn to say thank you and give kudos for years of entertainment to the band. Despite the political BS that may entail with the actual ceremony.

    The boys have introduced a few really good friends into the HOF, so it would be awkward if they call it bullshit when they turn comes up...

    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...

    I always find it funny when fans piss on the idea of the R&R HOF, but when their favorite band is eligeable and doesn't get in, they are the first to say "X is a WAY better band than those hacks who just got in."

    Is the induction ceremony even something an average fan could attend? Always struck me as a private industry event.

    I would if I have the money and if there is any way to attend the ceremony; sometimes the ceremony is held in NYC, but I think most of the time it's in Cleveland. It would be great to see Pearl Jam in the Hall of Fame with many legendary bands and artists. I've always wanted to see the Hall of Fame museum in Cleveland.

    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:

    Interesting that this thread popped up TODAY!!!
    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:
    7627:46450.jpg

    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 just talking about this with someone today! I think it would be unique to experience an event like this, esp. involving my favorite band. I think it's different than an award and more of a recognition. And while some bands may "deserve" the recognition and haven't received it, doesn't deter the fact nor significance of Pearl Jam's recognition. So, YES, I would travel to see it.

    I don't like hip hop nor country nor generic pop music, but those belong in there just as much as any rock band. Keep in mind, that Elvis was once the king of rock, and by today's standards there's no way he'd be considered rock. it's just what it's called. I think basically anyone in music is eligible.

    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.

    In answer to the original question, yes I'd go if I could. There may be a lot of opinions about it, but even Patti Smith and Iggy Pop showed up when it was their turn to be inducted..... it's 'only' rock and roll! Go there and use it to be who you are (as Iggy certainly did :lol: ). PJ should do Blood or something like that - ie. they need to rock HARD and blast the roof off the place.

    You gotta remember at the time Elvis was making music he was considered rock, at no time has rap, disco or any other genre that isn't rock was considered rock...as for Sabbath...Ozzy was publicly spouting off about the selection process, and I believe they did not get in till he stopped talking about it.

    I'd sure like to know who in the selection process Rush or a member of Rush offended!!! Is Yes in yet? Asia? Moody Blues?

    As a long time Rush fan, I think it's great that they aren't included in the Rock n Roll Corporate Hall of "Fame". Futher confirms for me they didn't play by anyone else's rules i.e. tv/talkshow appearances, etc.. If PJ gets inducted I hope Eddie gets up there and tells them to shove their Hall where the sun don't shine and that their fans pay tribute to their accomplishments every time they take the stage. Sorry, but I don't need some group of elitists telling me who the important contributors to Rock and Roll are.
