    Those are actually both pretty solid lists to me. He needed a few more slots for the snubs list to include Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy, and probably a few others like :sick: Bon Jovi.

    That article is so obnoxious. The writer tells the reader that they cannot name songs by certain artists, yet I can, and I'm sure many others can too.

    Can't get over the fact he doesn't have Kiss on his snub list! Rush, Kiss, Heart, and Cheap Trick should of all been in a long time ago. Pretty sure I've heard Stone mention that if Kiss isn't in by the time Pearl Jam gets elected in that they will boycott the Hall of Fame.

    The writer treats his audience like morons, but it was refreshing to see an article like this where the heart of the issue isn't centered on Rush.

    He's right on with GBV, along with many other indie bands...Dinosaur Jr., MBV, Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo, Flaming Lips. etc. etc.

    And more props to the Monkees: Their break-up was a middle finger to corporate control, they gave Jimi Hendrix his first US arena gigs (although he was booed off stage by 12 year old girls), and they created the cult classic movie: Head.

    That's where it should be centered. Aside from Kiss, who have made their own bed when it comes to being snubbed there's not a more deserving band left out.

    Isn't Bon Jovi already in the HOF???


    Glad to see the blogger give some love to Todd Rundgren. :ugeek:

    guy is a friggin asshole, what a maddening read. first he tells me i cant name Buffalo Springfield songs, then treats Harrisons solo career like a mere footnote to the Beatles' music.

    Reuben Frank sucks.

    I could probably dig and think of more BS tunes, but nothin that comes close to For What It's Worth as far as widespread acclaim. I don't think he meant it literally.

    Would Harrison be in if he wasn't a Beatle? I don't think so

    Both of those seem like a good way to get names like the Beatles, Neil Young and Stephen Still tossed around in relation to the RnR HoF more than they're deserving track records.

    I think he's being kinda harsh/pompous on some of them but that can be a good tool for getting one's point across.

    Nope, they're always in the list of bands that Eddie Trunk, as annoying as he is, rolls out when making his rants.

    Or Bluebird? Rock and Roll Woman? Mr. Soul? On the Way Home?
    What an ass.

    If you want to talk about people who shouldn't be in, try Madonna. Is the HOF supposed to be pop or rock n roll? Or the one I don't get is the Eagles. Do you get in because you're influential or because you sold a lot of records?

    If they don't start allowing genres that kinda descended from rock then they'll eventually run out of acts, b/c let's face it...rock hasn't been a huge influential force for a good while now. Are there any bands that have come out this century that are locks for HoF? BTW, I don't agree with Madonna being in there but when you have other older r&b acts it's gonna be hard to exclude alot of artists b/c they're not rock.

    I'd say both when it comes to the Eagles. I'm not the biggest fan of the Eagles but they've sold alot of records and been pretty influential on alot of country artists and were pretty instrumental in the whole country rock movement of the 70s, and let's face it they do have some badass tunes.

    Oh yeah, "progressive country" as they called it at the time. But Poco (which also arose from Buffalo Springfield) and the Byrds really paved the way for the Eagles.

    I guess I can accept the Eagles in the HOF, I'm just always going to think of them this way:
