• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

RRHOF.

I don't think.

Lemmy.

Or Chris.

Give a damn.

Motorhead and Soundgarden.

Were so much better than the RRHOF.

Agreed. I can't think of many things I'd imagine Lemmy couldn't care less about. He was the real deal and Motorhead was everything rock n roll was supposed to be.

For me, both Soundgarden and Motorhead were very important bands.

Of music.

Seems stupid that The Doobie Brothers
hadn't been inducted years ago. The Black Crowes should be inducted also.

Still no Jethro Tull. :dang
But Tull beat Metallica for a Grammy as best new Metal Band back in da 80's.

RRHOF lost any legit credo in my book when they let in Madonna & Rappers.

Will they let Metal bands in the Pop & Rap HOF ?

Awards shows are to make people who are small & insignificant feel important.

It's a travesty. No reason they shouldn't be in.

No Humble Pie, no Peter Frampton, no Grand Funk (Railroad), the list could go on and on. Then again, as has been discussed, this really isn't a "Rock & Roll" HoF.

I am still scratching my head over the omission of Steppenwolf. Good Lord - was there ever a song as big as Born To Be Wild? I know Kay supposedly was not to popular with the folks in the business, but come on. What about Heart? Both those bands were absolutely HUGE in their time, and sold zillions of records. I guess that makes no difference?

How is MC5 not in already? They were really influential in the proto-punk movement, along with Iggy Pop who already is in the HOF.

Steppenwolf is another great example!

I believe Heart is in already though? If not, I sit corrected.

I had to come back to this thread.

Imagine.

That you have to play this riff.

Most can't.

And now.

You have to sing over it.

While playing it at the same time.

I don't know anyone that can do that.

I've never heard anyone else do that.

If thats not rock n' roll....


Maybe if Angus could sing.
