TBH Shakira should already been in as well. She has been an international superstar for decades. And you don't really have to bend the definition of "rock 'n roll" very much to make the case.

not particularly, although i dont find her so offensive that i refuse to believe anyone else liking her is a valid opinion. but you have to be ecumenical to the point of intellectual dishonesty to think she has anything to do with rock music.

haha fair enough. in case you get bored, though:

Rock music is a genre of popular music that originated in the United States as "rock and roll" in the late 1940s and early 1950s, developing into a range of styles from the mid-1960s, primarily in the United States and United Kingdom. It has its roots in rock and roll, a style that drew from the African-American musical genres of blues and rhythm and blues, as well as from country music. Rock also drew strongly from genres such as electric blues and folk, and incorporated influences from jazz and other styles. Rock is typically centered on the electric guitar, usually as part of a rock group with electric bass guitar, drums, and one or more singers.

they are so fucking good.

I consider it a shame that I wasn't into them until I was in like my 30s, but I caught up by seeing them live like 4 times already. Like once I started listening to them a lot I was like "I would have loved this at 15yo, why didn't i know about this, I saw their t shirts all the time"

Yeah, I have that same feeling with 90s gangster rap and emo. I have a tendency to have tunnel vision when it comes to music. I pick a band and then decide that's the only thing that matters and write off everything else.

i made this thread hoping you would see it and respond.

A rock and roll hall of fame is a dumb idea. A museum is fine but inducting people/acts on something so subjective is useless.

100%. And if they are going to make it a HoF it should be more tongue in cheek and fun rather than formal and exclusive like it's Cooperstown or something.

for a long time the Rock HoF was the private plaything of Jann Wenner, so artists he felt were cool got in and artists he disliked did not.

He pulled the “IM GAY” cord in 1995 so people couldn’t really argued with him

An under discussed reason steroid guys are banned from the hall of fame is because of this lady (granddaughter of the founder is opposed, and has basically told the writers they shouldn’t vote for them )

She's underrated as a pop star - like she has 15 (!) top 10 hits and 4 #1s.

I don't think she has the impact in that she doesn't have a huge passionate fan base, but based on the numbers she's one of the biggest acts in music.

One of the boomers from Rush (not Neil or Getty) pwned the fuck out of the HOF by giving a speech where he just said "blah blah blah" for 5 minutes but emoted and gestured while he did it, it was great. All those self important fags were irate including the other guys in Rush because they had gone first and gave normal speeches
