How many records do you have sell exactly to be in Rock n Roll HOF?
Deep Purple fans claim they have sold 100 million records. Yes fans
say Yes has sold about 35 million records. Isn't 35 million enough?
Not many artists have sold as much. And also I would like to see Rush
one day. But not before Yes and Deep Purple.
The thing that will irritate me the most is seeing Genesis (who purely
got in there because of their "80s pop" sales) in there before Yes got
in and Aerosmith in there before Deep Purple (please tell me Aersomith
were a more important hard rock band than Deep Purple) got in.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Rock_and_Roll_Hall_of_Fame_inductees
The Rock n' Roll hall of fame criteria is simple. "Does Rolling Stone
Magazine like you?". If they do, you get in. If they don't, you don't.
Easy as pie.
Are you also going to announce when you next go to the toilet, since
we are all so fascinated by you Raj,
I think I might start a thread titled:
"I'm having steak and chips for dinner tonight"
Rolling Stone magazine is the worst music magazine, I have read. Their
lists are atrocious.
I still haven't forgiven them for inducting those assclowns Fred
Zipperlint or whatever their names were.
Oh, and Aerosmith are very much indeed more important than Deep
Purple.
You're welcome.

So are yours.
Exactly. Now follow that idea to its logical conclusion... you'll see
why Madonna is in there while Rush is not.
The Hall is mainly a museum. You will see plenty of artifacts from
bands that have not been inducted in the hall. The HOF itself is just
a short hallway within the museum containing reproduced signatures of
the inductees on one wall - nothing more.
They do have some very cool guitars there. And some pretty nifty
Beatles stuff, like a "Daily Howl" from John's younger days.
oh then thats cool. I thought I would see no trace of the likes of
Deep Purple, Yes, Rush etc in RnR HOF in Cleveland. That would be an
utter travesty.
Madonna being there is okay. I do not like her music. But she has sold
truckloads of records. The problem is they have artists like Velvet
Underground who havent sold shit. How is Rush not famous enough to be
not in there but VU is?
Worst insult is all the 4 main punk bands are in there - The Clash,
The Ramones, The Stooges, The Sex Pistols. But only 2 main prog bands
in there - Pink Floyd and Genesis. And Genesis are in there because of
their pop period. Genesis didnt sell anywhere as close to Yes, Pink
Floyd, Jethro Tull, ELP, Rush as a prog band. Some say Moody Blues are
prog but I have a hard time calling them prog. They need to be in
there as well. They were very popular and sold a lot of records.
Just when we thought TT was gone and the troll quotient here has gone
down a bit...
Dont expect any. Richard Marx...lol...are you fucking kidding me. VDGG
and Amon Duull II didnt sell shit. So they dont deserve it.
perhaps yes should be called no. no ?
Raja you have never seen a vagina in real life have you?
You belong there as you know as much about music as them and roling
stone.
I hear that Yes fans are not admitted.
That means no rock fan is.
As the years progress, the process of getting into Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame is beginning to look a lot like the process of earning a
letter for a high school letter jacket: The superstars (Bruce
Springsteen, Prince, Aerosmith) are awarded just for showing up, as
are the academic overachievers who are still social enough to get a
seat on student council (U2, The Police, Talking Heads). However, the
nerds who create the science fiction clubs and painstakingly put
together the yearbook (Rush, Genesis, Yes, Kraftwerk) face a much
steeper battle for recognition. And while you can’t really letter in
smoking, there’s no way to recognize the smokers and the class-
skippers (Slayer, The Replacements), those folks who are just as
essential as the jocks and student council presidents in defining the
experience that is Rock and Roll High School.
Perhaps by coincidence, the same year the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
turns 25, KISS may finally get their due as inductees. They have been
eligible for almost a decade. And while I’ll be the first to praise
Hall of Famer Jackson Browne, there’s no question who has been more
influential in rock. Alice Cooper may have been first, but KISS made
makeup and pyrotechnics almost essential in a big-time rock show. KISS
was one of those bands that inspired thousands of teenagers to want to
form a band to get to that level—the stage explosions, the groupies,
the outfits. But the Hall of Fame is like a selection committee for a
state dinner: you want to invite the people who’ll make you proud, not
ones that will embarrass you. But sometimes you have to acknowledge
those very folks (which is one possible reason why the Sex Pistols
took a great deal longer to get into the Hall of Fame than the Clash).
Fans, and even non-KISS fans, have been screaming to let KISS into the
Hall of Fame. But now that their work is done, people have started to
raise a ruckus about why progressive rock has not been represented. As
for speed metal fans, a Metallica nod won’t be enough to keep people
from demanding a Slayer induction as well.
The nomination of Genesis is a decent start for progressive rock, but
King Crimson, Yes, and Rush are still patiently waiting for
nomination. One problem for progressive rock is that, in general, it’s
not a genre adored by rock critics. But regardless of whether you
think 2112 or Relayer is a masterpiece, progressive rock’s most
notable characteristics (the odd time signature shifts, full albums
broken into “acts” or “suites”) are everywhere in rock. If a song by a
rock band exceeds eight minutes, chances are high that there’s going
to be a Yes comparison. Even a band as critically adored as the
Decemberists has garnered plenty of prog rock comparisons.
At least Rush or King Crimson will put on a polite show at the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame concert if and when they get inducted. What the
hell would a Slayer performance be like? Don’t think that doesn’t
cross a voter’s mind when he or she is filling out their ballot. As
most rock historians should know, rock was never intended to be pretty
or suitable for an awards banquet. And the exclusion of the geeks,
nerds, and troublemakers—who not only contributed significantly to
rock, but helped build foundations for an entire genre of music—is
inexcusable.
You're welcome.
lol, yes and Bon Jovi are 'very much indeed more important' than Led
Zeppelin
And while we're there Elvis is 'very much indeed more important' than Chuck
Berry
Fuck me dead you have to love these hamsters

'
Closest he's come is looking in the mirror.
I am surprised you noticed. He must look like you.
he saw his mum's. unless he was born out of her arse which is quite
likely.
I noticed the lack of Richard Marx but was momentarily excited to see
a stage prop from Winger. Then I realized it was actually from
Weezer. :-(
You haven't been paying attention, have you?
Next time, you really should leave the peyote out of the mutter paneer.
Gay
None whatsoever.
Sales have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with induction.
Nothing.
And there is absolutely no point in bringing sales up.
It does however need to be renamed thus:-
'The myopic American view of musical history HOF'
It can't be taken seriously, it's as parochial a list as you would ever lay
eyes on. Not that it's a recent phenom, you're talking about a society
that somehow engineered Elvis to the position of a diety at the expense
of people like Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry and Little R.

PiGGy is still trying to clean up the evidence from the hookers buried

It's official name is Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, so it's
properly named.
Wow, there was racism and class discrimination in the U.S., especially
in the South, in the 1940s, 1950s,1960s, and today.
What a shock!!!!!!!!
That society was part of the birth of rock and roll to begin with.
Rock and roll is a mishmash of AMERICAN music and AMERICAN culture,
the contributions of European performers notwithstanding, most of whom
were copying American styles to begin with.
Elvis was a good looking, poor white trash, country boy, with a good
voice and taste in blues, country, and gospel music. He became very
popular because of those characteristics.
Were black blues artists ripped off and discriminated against? Sure.
Elvis himself was ripped off and mismanaged by his illegal immigrant
manager, "'Colonel' 'Tom Parker.'"

Good answer.
The difference being, the folks at RS, for all their failings, have
found a way to make money making up moronic, arbitrary lists of stuff
pertaining to 30 year old pop music. Raja, no so much.
Why go there when all you have to do to get your daily ration of
politics is to pick up the afternoon paper?
Why buy a paper when all you have to do is read about
it online?
ladies, I did check out the rnr hof yesterday. the building seems
quite modern for a rnr related building. there was a Pink Floyd themed
The Wall and The Divison Bill structures out there. There was a Bruce
Springsteen exhibit. They showed movies of the induction ceremonies.
It was overall very nice. The bummer was I could find all the
memorabilia I could find except rock band t-shirts.
One thing which pissed me off was they had a picture of Robert Plant
and Jimmy Page, but not of John Paul Jones and John Bonham. Are they
assuming bassists, keyboardists and drummers are worthless?
fuck Raja
period.
To quote John, "Not with a plastic one"
fuck Raja
anyway anytime with anyspoon
Didn't I used to see you in the RMH VB&G?
Bassists and drummers....not keyboardists. They're hard to find.
then why wasnt there a pic of John Paul Jones? And guitarists are not
easy to find?
You did not mention guitarists in your earlier post, but guitarists
are a dime a dozen, like drummers. I'm not up to date on
how easy it is to find bass players, but finding a
keyboardist.....that knows little more than the basics would
also be harder to find.
Jeff
Really? That sucks, cause I don't like much music
without keyboardists.
then wtf are you doing trolling RMB all the damn day long?
heh.
my younger dayz
Did you want my 9 DVD set? They suck.
The Nice Mean Man
Why do you respond to someone you consider a troll?
And, the Beatles had 2 keyboardists, John & Paul.
Why don't you answer the question?
> And, the Beatles had 2 keyboardists, John & Paul.
duh
I'm the image of your choice.
yeah, I've retired from riding. People (and deers) were trying to kill
me.
heh
in my case it was hicks.
The only absolute concerning you is your stinkin 'tude of superiority.
oh yeah, Blow Me
> And, the Beatles had 2 keyboardists, John & Paul.
Four. George played most of the synth parts on Abbey Road, plus
likely some piano on their later albums. Ringo played organ on "You
Won't See Me" and piano on "Don't Pass Me By."
Five if you count George Martin.
Six if you include Billy Preston.
Thank you.
"who" Jeff only sees John, Paul and in his delusions, Francie Schwartz.

Well cum...now fall in it.
I'm happy you are suddenly so interested in my posts, and thanks
so much for all the compliments you keep giving me.
You're like the fat ugly chick in HS wasting her life constantly
bitching about how snobby the cheerleaders are because she was to much
of a butterball to fit in the uniform on tryout day.
Grow up.
I got nailed by a cab while rolling up to a red light on Market Street
in Philly. Traded wrecked bike (at full value!, Those were the days)
for the last 2002 Ultra on the lot. (everybody wanted a 100 year
anniversary bike). took the Ultra out for a test cruise as far from
the city as I could get in one day (Johnstown PA) and on the way home
a deer bolted out of the woods and (I'm told) kicked me square in the
face knocking me and the brand new bike into next week.
After that I moved to Harrisburg, hoping to find a safer place to
ride. Coming home from a quick 100 miler one morning one of my
nieghbors ran a stop sign and nailed me.
That didn't stop me, but it got me thinking about it. Two years later
I had sold the bike. Life is short enough. But boy, I do miss it every
time there's a nice day and the guys on my street get their bikes out
and ride them around the block. (no, seriously, there are two guys on
my street who have bikes and never seem to ride them for more than
half an hour at a time. Maybe that's the secret)
I once had a crazy bitch, for NO REASON, try to run me off of the road
(in town) with her Cadillac. There wasn't the slightest doubt in my
mind that it was intentional, since she kept moving over into my lane
even though I was honking and yelling. When we stopped at the next
light, I kicked in her passenger door. She didn't even look at me while
I was doing it. Some idiots passing by thought they'd come to her aid,
but I whipped out my buck knife and backslapped it open. They moved on.
I was so pissed that it took several pitchers of beer down at the local
tavern to calm me down.
hmmmmmmm Corliss is that u?
Nope. But I'll give you a hint, my last name is uber kraut-ey. :-)
Wow, is that a Dopin' Dan reference? I saw a poem by that title on the
back of an underground comic back in the 70's.
Truly, the term "fool" fits you like a glove.
