Re: 2021 Rock Hall Nominations

I was really surprised when I saw this on the news that so many of these haven't already been inducted!

All are deserving. I vote for the Foo Fighters and the GoGo's!

Re: 2021 Rock Hall Nominations

I'm not familiar with New York Dolls and Fela Kuti.  I'll have to google their greatest hit and see if it rings a bell.  I have a friend/classmate that will be ecstatic that Foo Fighters is nominated.

Re: 2021 Rock Hall Nominations

In my opinion, not too much in the way of actual ROCK N ROLL groups or individuals 

 

I think these represent R & R

Iron Maiden

Foo Fighters

New York Dolls

Rage Against the Machine

Tina Turner

I think these are a bit of a stretch

Todd Rundgren (SOFT rock at best!)

Devo (too funny, barely punk or alternative, and NOT rock)

GoGo's (80s dance miusic more than ROCK N ROLL)

 

The others listed belong on another list of talent - a different HALL altogether.

I can't believe that Carol King is not already in the rock and roll hall of fame.

Maybe she is in the songwriters hall of fame.

All I care about is Foo Fighters.  They deserve it.  If you can ever see them in concert, you need to run - not walk - to the show.

I can't believe that Carole King isn't in there!  She wrote so many hits both her own and for other artists.

We saw Foo Fighters in concert 2 years ago at the Pepsi Center in Denver.  Awesome show!  


@sophiesofers I saw the Foo Fighters at the Firefly Festival a couple of years ago.  They did a 5 song encore of covers, calling themselves the Holy *hits.  It was one of the best concerts I have ever been too.

Who are these people?  I've never heard of most of them.
