Well Phil was half black and played a good bass and poured his heart out into his lyrics about his love, drugs, alcohol. So according to you Thin Lizzy should have an edge over most bands. This just in: Living Color to be inducted into the RRHF.
True.......they're going to hit Thin Lizzy with the commercial argument....they didn't sell a bunch of records or something stupid along those lines.
I would post better odds for Living Color that were better than Rush's.

I would say that Grand Funk has about the same chances as I do of getting inducted, and that's not meant to be taken as a knock by me against Grand Funk.

As a former resident of Flint, I'd like to see them honored, but their chances are slim to none.
I agree there needs to be more recognition of influential prog-rock groups.
However, I have no problem with Madonna. She turned pop music upside down in the early 80's and continued to evolve and re-invent her sound throughout the years.
Don't get hung up on the "Rock N Roll" portion of the title...it's a "Music Hall of Fame".

How many albums have the Beastie's put out. I mean, for a band goin into the hall of fame, isn't their output kinda low.
not too small
but no one can underestimate the influence Pauls boutique has had on music
For better or worse, that record is a sampling masterpiece
The Beasties also started the whole rock and rap thing (linkin park etc...)
NO question they are a musically ground breaking group
and if you think the beasties best work is "no sleep til brooklyn," please refrain from commenting until youve listened to Pauls boutique 25 times and ill communication 25 time

Plus I love No Sleep til Brooklyn!

I remembered which Beastie's album the tour supported....but which Madonna album was it????
I'm pretty sure it was Like A Virgin. That was the last time Madonna did a show in the Tampa area, and the Beastie Boys did indeed open for them. The T-shirts sold at the show said "Virgin Tour" on them, and there was some controversy when one of the Tampa schools banned kids from wearing the shirts.

Sounds about right....

What about the fuckin' Bad Brains??? In fact, where are ANY of the punk bands??? You've got your token punks with the Ramones and Patti Smith, but that's it. Where's X, Black Flag, Bad Religion and the Bad Brains???

exactly pbm. like i said in a previous post, there will always be a band or artist left out, although i'm sure everyone on the board will LOVE the rrhof when pj gets inducted.
and this is the first year that any band or artist that released a single in 1982 is eligible.
It is so fitting that the ceremony is being ignored on this board.
At the end of her acceptance speech Madonna says: "I have done many things in my life (blahblahblah), but in the end for me it always goes back to the music"
*leaves without performing*
???
... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

she couldn't perform because you have to actually play music and sing to it live at the r&r hof ceremonies.....:D:D
I really don't get the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. How the hell do they decide who gets in? Say what you will about the merits of sports, but at least those HOFs can back up inductees with statistics. Record sales sure don't seem like a fair way to judge music (he writes while shuddering at the thought of Celine Dion's future induction). It'll be interesting when Bad Religion is eligible.

Leonard Cohen didnt perform either. I forgot the name of the guy, but I enjoyed his performance of Hallelujah.
I know it's unfair to the guy, but all I could read on the TV during his performance was "how I wish Jeff Buckley were in that chair right now" :(
And to the person who claims Madonna is talented. She obviously have some talent, but if she is talented as a singer and a musician then why not perform live in that room?
... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
she does have talent...as a business woman. i'll give her props for tenacity. but it's a music hall of fame, not how many people you blow along the way hall of fame. just seems weak to not perform at your own induction.
This must be a joke, they forgot about Depeche Mode and The Cure AGAIN!

I really suspect that you are going to have to be black-oriented or have a gay member or some such feature that doesn't matter to the MUSIC to get in this silly HOF.
I'm afraid Yes, Rush or Genesis will never make into the HOF. I would say that Grand Funk has about the same chances as I do of getting inducted, and that's not meant to be taken as a knock by me against Grand Funk.
Not that RUSH cares about an HOF recognition, however....
To say they will never get is far fetched considering they have been touring, releasing albums continually since the early 70's. A sold out 2007 Snakes & Arrows World Tour with a 2008 continuation S & A will always help.
They will get their recognized and they will get in at some point they've always been g under p.....Graceful Under Pressure!
....And to think their first EVER concert in the US was in Cleveland, OH home of TRRHOF.

i have no idea why she didnt perform live at the ceremony...perhaps she was protesting in some weird way...i still give her credit for always doing what she wants no matter what the trend is or what's expected of her.
