Should The Rutles be in the rock and roll hall of fame ? yay or nay?

I vote for Arthur Hodgeson & The Kneecaps first.

 

George and Dirk

 

Paul and Dirk

 

When the Rutles TV special first appeared on American television in 1978 it came in dead last in the Nielsen ratings for all programs for that week.
Maybe they are overdue for an Emmy?

 

No!

 

Thats funny. The least watched programme in America that week

 

I can't believe how much the young Mhani looks like his dad Stig. It's uncanny.

 

They far surpass The Beatles in my book.

 

Why not? The Sex Pistols are in.

 

Leggy Mountbatten should get in too. He had a good eye for trousers.

 

Only if weird al yankovich and the 1985 Chicago bears get in. Who can forget that classic song from 85 that took the nation by storm!

 

All their friends are pirates and they sail the BBC!

 

No way. I like them for what they are all the same.

 

Sure, put 'em in there along with the Bonzo Dog Band.

 

I'm guessing that they're not reminiscing about the scene of Dirk & Martini's wedding.

 

I wasn't a Nielson family, but, it was on at MY HOUSE!
Had a cassette recorder up to the TV, too!

 

She loves you, dee, dee, dee...

 

why not?

tupac shakur and the sex pistols are both in.

 

Nah, they were even less of a real band than the Monkees or Spinal Tap. The only satiric act I'd induct is Weird Al, maybe not as one of the regular inductees but under some rock and roll equivalent of the Irving Thalberg award, in recognition of his status as the court jester of pop-rock music.

 

Yes, induct the Rutles, not that I've seen the film, heard the record, watched the show, or whatever it is. I'd also induct Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem, Josie & the Pussycats and even Punch & Judy at this point. I have some interest in the R&RHOF, I always pay attention to who is inducted, for the most part. And the controversy it sometimes generates can be fun. Sometimes the live performances at the ceremony are interesting. But I don't give a monkey's if they un-induct everyone, erase the books, and plow the physical building under. Worse things have happened to Cleveland.
