Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame 2019 nominees

Maybe just Ian Anderson will someday be in.

 

I forgot about The Monkees too...

 

1st wave...
MC5
Kraftwerk
Roxy Music
Todd Rundgren
Devo

2nd wave...
The Cure
Def Leppard

3rd wave...
Rage Against The Machine
Radiohead

Thinking...
John Prine
The Zombies
Stevie Nicks

NOPE....
Rufus featuring Chaka Khan
LL Cool J
Janet Jackson

 

Well, a lot actually. She has multiple platinum sellers and top 10 albums. I’m not really a fan, but she was a big solo artist outside of Fleetwood Mac.

 

Oh, dear. Somebody mocked me with little dancing cartoons. I'm devastated.

 

Eno should definitely be in. The guy is a flippn’ genius, and has produced a number of big albums by big artists...as well as his work with Roxy, Bowie, etc.

 

Sort of a safe, bland list..
Not a bad list, and def. not a great list but just kinda blah..

Many repeats from last year(s)...
Only 15 acts
No early influence...bummer, so many acts deserving recognition.
Overall, fairly predictable with one real surprise..
John Prine
Good to see Rundgren and Roxy Music.
Predict that Prine is inducted under Musical Excellence.
And since Janet Jackson again nominated, they will induct.
Same for the Zombies. They’ve been nominated for 4th time, so they want them in.
And they deserve to be in.
Jackson or Nicks will win fan vote
So with 5 performers inducted, it will be
Jackson
Zombies
Radiohead
Nicks
Def Leppard (prob 3rd in fan voting)
and Prine as musical excellence

 

What criteria do they base it on?

 

With a myriad of member of Tull, the HOF could someday put Ian Anderson in the Hall under musical excellence.
Doesn’t have the same ring as Tull, tho.
So they will probably call it Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull or something.
Still kinda clunky.

 

Still no Rory Gallagher or Warren Zevon.....

 

Criteria boils down to
25 Years After first recording
Impact
Influence
Musical excellence and talent

 

Thanks!

 

I can see that happening.

 

when i think rock and roll the first 2 people that come to mind are janet jackson and ll cool j...........seriously, what the **** are they thinking?

 

Zevon will prob. get nominated next year or the next.
Gallagher unlikely.

 

they were NOT a rock and roll band, they were a TV cast that auditioned for their jobs.......the key word here being 'job'.

 

MC5
The Zombies
MC5
Todd Rundgren
MC5
Radiohead
MC5

 

I keep trying to, but too many Hoffmanites won't allow me to forget.

 

my list for this year:

jethro tull
carly simon
warren zevon
CSNY
dan fogelberg
doobie brothers
boz scaggs
america

and not a single one even gets a nomination.

jann wenner and his minions can just go to.............................................

 

Amazing! Still no Grand Funk, Badfinger, Raspberries, The Sweet, Foreigner, Boston! The list goes on. But hey! We've got Rufus!

 

The R&R Hall of Shame is a complete sham that no one takes seriously!!! How dare they ignore my pet favorite band?!?

Every year, the same predictable grousing and butthurt. . .

 

Think of the Hall as a wide net of various music forms that encompass the broad term of rock...
If it was strictly rock and roll they would have stopped at Link Wray and the Johnny Burnette rock and Roll Trio.
(Who aren’t in the Hall btw)
Jackson will be a shoe in.
Ll Cool j...prob. not this year.
