- Post subject: Rock Hall of Fame 2019 Nominees have been announced!
|
As you all may or may not have heard, the Rock Hall of Fame has announced it's nominees for 2019.
The nominees are as follow:
* The Cure
* Def Leppard
* Devo
* Janet Jackson
* John Prine
* Kraftwerk
* LL Cool J
* MC5
* Radiohead
* Rage Against the Machine
* Roxy Music
* Rufus featuring Chaka Khan
* Stevie Nicks
* The Zombies
* Todd Rundgren
Fan vote: https://www.rockhall.com/fanvote/
Thoughts on the nominees? Who doesn't deserve it, who does, who got snubbed, etc.
Personally after seeing the standings of the fan vote, I was very disappointed. Stevie Nicks and Def Leppard most certainly are not the two most deserving there by a landslide (sorry), in fact I wouldn't even put them in the better half.
On another note, Sonic Youth, the Pixies, the Smiths, and countless other 80s Indie superstars have been disincluded yet again, to no surprise of my own. There are plenty of other bands from other genres they're leaving out too, but listing them all would take too long.
Of the nominees I'm in favor of, Radiohead, Rage, MC5 and The Cure personally stick out to me the most.
Edit: On a side-note, the Rock Hall has no credibility at all anymore to me, but it's still worth discussing.

They all deserve it. Fire list.
EDIT: Bar Def Leppard. Fuck Def Leppard.
EDIT 2: Most deserving, however? Kraftwerk, Janet, LL/RATM, that order.

An even weaker class than usual.
With the possible exception of Radiohead, there's not a one on the list who should be ahead of these longstanding snubs:
Jethro Tull
Emerson, Lake and Palmer
Motorhead
Iron Maiden
Doobie Brothers
King Crimson
and at least a dozen or more others.

They've been inducting five per year for a while now. Out of this group, I would say the most deserving are:
- The Cure
- Janet Jackson
- Kraftwerk
- Radiohead
- Roxy Music
Agreed, the hall of fame is trash, like pretty much every hall of fame. The decision to induct Ringo for his solo work before even considering many of the aforementioned snubs says it all.
I bet BEA users could make a much better hall of fame than "600 rock experts". Would that interest anyone? If we did it though, it should probably be open to all artists, not just those within the nebulously-defined genre of rock.

Is it though?
I've always been lost as to why people care about this so much.
I dunno... umm... MC5 I suppose. And Radiohead...and... Kraftwerk? As much as I love Odyssey & Oracle, The Zombies are practically up there for a single album. Janet Jackson and Stevie Nicks is already inducted, so that just feels silly. Toss Roxy Music in there I suppose, that'd be cool. And The Cure are far too cool to be in it.
Mind you, the last 5-6 years have been a trainwreck of inductees, so whatever. It'll probably be Rufus and Def Leppard. Maybe Devo.
EDIT: Christ, is Nick Cave not in this thing?

How is Janet Jackson already inducted? The Jackson 5 are in the hall, but she was not one of them.

Woops - right. I knew that too. 🫢
Aight, I'd put her as my 5th choice then.
Poor Coltrane. So forgotten.

I doubt Radiohead shows up for the nomination either.

I don't agree.
Bryan Ferry is an exceptionally talented musician and with Roxy Music, they have created some amazing music.
Although, I care even less if he makes into the Hall; his efforts should not be diminished.
