Vote for the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame Nominees

None of the above ... it should be ELO.

Hell, Jeff Lynne should be in there both individually and with ELO.
 
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke. They have all kinds of people and groups in there that aren't rock and roll.
 
Shouldn't Pearl Jam be nominated this year?

Also. Agree on ELO.
I would vote for Smiths also from list.
 
Nothing against Janet personally. But, when I think of Rock n Roll, I don't reach for "What Have You Done For Me Lately?"

And, Los Lobos? All they ever did was cover La Bamba!
What are the stipulations for induction? I don't think of Janet Jackson or Mariah Carey as deserving of RAR Hall of Fame. Now if there was a pop music HOF, sure

That's the thing about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They call themselves Rock and Roll, but they include people who cannot be considered Rock and Roll by any stretch of the imagination.
 
Finally, we get a list of much deserved nominees!
Steve Miller
Cheap Trick
Yes
Deep Purple
Chicago
The Cars
The Smiths
Chic
The J.B.'s
The Spinners

Then some less-than-worthy examples:

Janet Jackson
Chaka Khan
Los Lobos
Nine Inch Nails
N.W.A.

You know who is currently in the lead??? Janet Jackson!

Rolling Stone Voting
I think the R&R hall of fame, the C&W hall of fame,and the Pop hall of fame should get together and on the same day all would induct Jimmy Buffett.

This is what Janet has done for me lately!!!! Instead of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...a few miles down the road her bronzed boob should be in Canton OH at the Football Hall of Fame.

40 years from the Joker and Miller still isn't in? The Spinners were awesome, BTW. Most f those early 70's pre-disco black songs you know but aren't sure who sang them, were sang by the Spinners.
 
The Top 5 are now:

    Steve Miller 16.81% (16143330 votes)

Janet Jackson is in 6th with 8% and half of the totals as the above. If this trend stays, we will finally get a real ROCK AND ROLL induction ceremony! I just wish Cheap Trick could get in as well. They are true Rock n Roll!



Tom Petersson on that 8-string Hamer Bass is just bad-ass!

Excellent choices.

Not to sidetrack, but I wish Americans could show as much good sense picking presidential candidates.

I guess the main difference is that while we can have legit differences about the kind of music we prefer (policies in the political world), it's a whole lot easier to recognize honest talent in the music world.

We rarely get at least 25 years of public action to judge them on, and when we do, we ignore it.
 
Still no Todd Rundgren. The R&R Hall of Fame is a sham.

I hope Steve Miller gets in.

There are a ton of Chicago fans and they should be in due to their popularity BUT my personal opinion is that Peter Cetara's nasal (he sings through his nose) singing voice is irritating. Heard that at a concert he once sang GLORY OF LOVE while drinking a bottle of water.

At least it's cool that he can blame that annoying style on a broken jaw suffered in a fight.

I wish we had good presidential nominees like there are for rar hof
 
I know it, you know it, and the American people know it......
The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame should be closed to any
further inductees. In the name of Elvis Presley and
Jerry Lee Lewis, there are no more worthy people to
walk into this Hall of Fame.

If our politcians were rock stars we'd have nothing but copyright enfringements, lip syncing, and air guitars.

I think if the Kang, Cash, and Carl were still alive, they'd all join Jerry and laugh at that comment.

Stick with birthday announcements.

Speaking of which, you missed this guy's 40th birthday on the 9th:

I just browed the list of past Hall of Fame inductees - pretty solid. There were a few head scratchers though - Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis, Nat Cole, AND Pete Seeger for God's sake.
