Tom Morello said in an interview on SiriusXm Volume. I'm paraphrasing "If Pearl Jam and Tupac aren't in first ballot. The Hall should just shut down."I miss igotid880

There are people who don't like The Beatles. But can acknowledge their legendary status.PJ_Soul said:
True. I just have no idea who the judge is as far as who is and isn't legendary. I have no clue how one decides if Pearl Jam has reached "legendary status" or not.igotid88 said:
subjective or not. if they haven't reached legendary status after 25 years then they'll never get itPJ_Soul said:
I guess that is subjective. On an objective level, I see that Pearl Jam actually has 1.5 million more monthly listeners than ELO does on Spotify (PJ has 3.7m and ELO "only" has 2.07m). So PJ is more popular with Spotify users. However, the vast majority of ELO fans probably aren't on Spotify, so.....igotid88 said:
Pearl Jam have already reached legend statusjeffbr said:
Jeff Lynne and ELO are between legendary and Hall of Fame. While Ed is getting some publicity with JayZ, Chris Martin, Sting, Bruce and Beyonce, Jeff Lynne travels/traveled in circles with Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, George Harrison, and Bob Dylan. Jeff Lynne is a legend among musicians. Ed will get there, and PJ should get in on the first ballot, but let's not kid ourselves. PJ still has a ways to go for legend status outside of this board.jumbojet said:
I listened to one ELO concert, on last week-end. They are between average and good. Nowhere close to PJ.mcgruff10 said:who the hell is electric light orchestra and how are they beating us? didn't I watch that series in grade school? that guy lamar was the main guy.
Anyway, ELO is good, if you happen to like their style. I think they have a few great songs, and that's it.I miss igotid880 -

Have sold over 60 million records.
Were the biggest band in the land at one point.
Still sell out stadiums after 25 years.
Recently headlined some of the largest festivals.
Their name and likeness as well as songs have been used in many movies over the years.
Major League Baseball or Fox TV bought the rights to use their songs during the playoffs last year.
ESPN references them constantly on their TV shows.
Their has been a major motion picture made about them.
Fought Ticketmaster
Basically killed the live concert bootleg business.
Any more questions??????0 -
Everyone gets to decide. I think for me, perhaps because of my age (I'm a contemporary of the members of PJ), I went through a couple of other eras, and my heros from the 70's and perhaps 80's are legends. 90's & beyond not so much, yet. But I really didn't mean to slight PJ, and can totally understand people considering them legends. My initial comment was only in reaction to someone else's opinion that ELO are average or good at best. Again, maybe because of my age, I see it way differently, and ELO were part of an amazing prog/post-prog movement with ELP, Yes, Kansas, Moody Blues, Alan Parsons Project, etc... Anyway, I certainly didn't mean to create a tangent in this thread, and am happy both ELO and PJ are solidly in the running for induction. I think both bands are deserving, and hope they both make it in.PJ_Soul said:

Of those bands you mentioned; Moody Blues deserves best to be inducted, IMO.jeffbr said:

I actually see Journey as the heavyweight in this year's running, along with PJ. I might be mistaken.What's your part, who you are?
2012: Arras, Berlin 1-2
2013: Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires
2014: Milano, Trieste, Vienna, Berlin
2016: NY MSG 10 -

I voted a few times, but only today I saw the standings...
They are fifth... That took me a bit by surprise. I thought the fan base was so large that they would have been easily first...13/11/96 Milan - 16/06/14 Amsterdam - 25/11/15 Bogota - 29/05/17 EV Amsterdam - 21/03/18 Rio de Janeiro - 12/06/18 Amsterdam - 13/06/18 Amsterdam - 18/06/18 London - 24/06/18 Padova - 05/07/18 Berlin (AMAZING) - 08/08/18 Seattle - 10/08/18 Seattle (Spectacular) - 09/06/19 EV Amsterdam - 10/06/19 EV Amsterdam - 21/06/22 Berlin - 23/06/22 Zurich - 25/06/22 Imola - 25/07/22 Amsterdam - 11/09/22 New York0 -
