Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, what does PJ need to do?!
I think nobody on the forum would doubt PJ deserves entry in the hall. What do they have to do? I was on the R&RHOF website and saw where you can vote for your favorite nominees. Some seemed well deserved, like Nirvana for instance. Then I saw LL Cool J?! No offense, I got nothing against LL but WTF!? I don't know by what criteria you could justify his entry into the hall, let alone him getting in before PJ.

This.
They are as good as in. It is nothing more than a matter of eligibility at this point.
I don't. Like Chuck D of Public Enemy said at their induction, "We all come from the damn blues."
Ain't that the truth.
I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
Now if you want to talk about a group that changed and redefined the face of a genre, then lets talk NWA. They are also nominees and they defined gangsta rap and basically pioneered it. That is the type of group (imo) that deserves induction. Pearl Jam is that type of group, I just never thought of LL that way
The Rock Hall Of Fame is a joke. I'm fine with opening it up to other genres, but still, the list of influential bands that are not in is absurd.
that said, rrhof is lame, no iron maiden=suck it.

Yeah, not really innovative at all. I think they've got an identifiable sound, but they're really just a combination of their influences. I think putting out every show this century is the probably the most innovative thing they've done, but with their strong internet following, they could've done much more on that front IMO.
I think they're locks to get in, but lack of innovation and not a real longstanding influence could be the gripes that keep them from getting in first time around.
yeah, I'm on board with this. Nirvana, for instance, turned music, not to mention culture, on its ear. PJ didn't do a whole lot except become popular because of the musical trend at the time, even though they sounded nothing like the rest of the bands in that explosion.
Ten was a turning point album for ME, but I don't know if it was for the industry as a whole.

why does it matter if they get in? I mean, to me this is no different than them winning a grammy. it would be different if the nominees were being chosen by their musical peers, but they aren't. it's a bunch of old white men who don't know shit about music. just like award shows.
which is also why I find it odd that Ed is always so involved in the induction ceremonies.

I'm betting Irons will be the only former member inducted.
I wouldn't be surprised if they invited Krusen as well as Irons. I believe they are on good terms with Krusen. I can't see them not having him there....he was the drummer on Ten, after all.
