Dolly Parton, Eminem, Lionel Richie, Duran Duran and A Tribe Called Quest are among this year's first-time nominees for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The Cleveland-based institution announced 17 artists and groups being considered for Rock Hall induction, including Rage Against the Machine, Pat Benatar, Dionne Warwick, Carly Simon, Judas Priest and Beck.

Beck and Simon are also in their first year of eligibility.
This year's class will be announced in May, with an induction ceremony planned for later this year.

"This year's ballot recognizes a diverse group of incredible artists, each who has had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture," said John Sykes, head of the foundation that runs the Rock Hall.

Artists must have released their first commercial recording at least 25 years before they're eligible for induction.

Dolly, Duran Duran, Pat, and possibly Devo.

 

[Fijimn]

That's going to be a good show regardless of who gets in this round.

The youth impacted by the sound of Lionel Richie is the saddest youth of them all.


Call it the "Music HOF" and let all good musicians in, but don't continue under the charade that this is a "rock and roll" HOF.

Beck's gotta get in. Besides being awesome, he has almost universal critical respect as a musician.

Dolly, Duran Duran, Pat, and possibly Devo.

Akron new wave/punk legends Devo hope they can whip the competition and earn a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. For the second straight year, the group has earned a nomination for the Rock Hall’s class of inductees.

Almost every Sunday morning I have Lionel and The Commodores on while whipping up banana pancakes for the little one. Nothing better...than sing out Sail On or Easy while flipping pancakes

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Some fine artists on that list. A couple I'm not familiar with, but I'd be OK with all the ones I know getting in.

So . . . who do you think WON'T get in? I know folks don't always get in on their first try. I imagine some won't this time.

Is there a limit on how many they'll admit in one year?

 

[onlyTheObvious]

Music Hall of Fame is what they should have called it.

 

[hawkeye54545]

The only one HOF worthy IMO is Pat Benatar. Who da fuq considers Dolly Parton for the Rock N Roll HOF.

 

[TJ8869]

Am I missing something with Dolly’s nomination? Don’t get me wrong, she’s a wonderful person who has done great charitable works with her wealth. She’s one of the most successful entertainers of all-time and probably belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of country music legends.

But what has she done that’s considered “rock and roll”?

 

[h-hawk]

They need a Pop Hall of Fame where Parton, Warwick and Carly Simon should be among the first members.

The Rock N Roll HOF has, more a less, a Pop and popular music HOF. Nevertheless, Dolly had a string of No. 1 hits on the pop charts.

 

[FAUlty Gator]

If I had to pick any off that list if forced to pick someone for this year it would be:
Pat Benetar
Judas Priest

No one else should even get a sniff of the RRHOF as of now.

Fvcking Blood Sweat and Tears aren't in. Neither is Three Dog Night. No one on that list should be in there before them.

This.

True but it doesn't roll off the tongue as nicely.

It has long ago stopped being limited to rock-n-roll. There are a ton of R&B and other non-rock inductees. The name is just a vestige of it origin. They should seriously just make a name change so as to stop confusing everyone.

However, that still doesn't solve the question about Dolly because Country Music has its own specific HOF already. Should country stars be eligible for both?

She has had many pop chart hits.

You all are high. Rage Against the Machine should be an easy pick.

You are spot on. I would include Boston just behind those two.

 

[FAUlty Gator]

Eventually. I'm just talking about this year. Eminem will be as well, but too soon for him.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Fvcking Blood Sweat and Tears aren't in. Neither is Three Dog Night.

That's an outrage.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

The argument whether some of these are R&R artists seems valid to me.

I mean even if she has done some R&R along the way - and she doubtless has - that's not what Dolly Parton is known for. And she's not really a 2-sport star.

 

[mnole03]

Jay-Z is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Warren Zevon isn’t.

 

[ericram]

You all are high. Rage Against the Machine should be an easy pick.

Someday but this year. Can only accept so many per year.

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

Last I checked, Warren Zevon still hasn't made it so it's not really a hall of fame.

The current standings are pathetic!

 

[pablow]

F::ck off wankers, get your own hall of fame

 

[noleclone2]

Yeah-this is no longer the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Not saying any of them are not talented, several of them majorly so. Pat Benatar makes sense. And I can give the icon hall pass to Dolly and Lionel Richie for influence. But Eminem? Carly ****ing Simon? Eurythmics and Duran Duran had their run but are they true HOF material over a ton of more worth bands not in? It is a joke at this point.

What exactly does someone have to do to become eligible? I see there's something about having released their first commercial recording at least 25 years before they're eligible for deduction, but what happened this year that put Simon in her first year of eligibility? Her first hit was over fifty years ago (That's the Way I Always Heard It Should Be, in 1971). Technically, it seems like she should've been eligible in the mid-1990s.

From this list, Pat Benatar is the only one belonging in the “Rock and Roll” HoF if you ask me. Judas Priest on the ballot makes sense. Honestly kind of surprised they aren’t in yet.

And she had trouble performing in front of live audiences, kind of a stage fright kind of thing if I remember correctly(I know it's a big if). But I did buy her No Secrets album, probably for two reasons.

Dolly Parton is a legend, but does not belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Same goes for several others.

It's funny because she graciously said she was going to opt out being in the HOF.

 

[TJ8869]

I thought Dolly respectfully declined the nomination?

 

[ihawk in FWB]

[/QUOTE]

I did not know that. Both bands were so influential.

 

[cigaretteman]

She changed her mind. Didn't want to disappoint people who voted for her to be in.
