WFA Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 I can't believe Motley has been snubbed again. And who's on the nomination list instead? Green day? Nine Inch Fails? Chic? NWA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Collab performance with NWA and NIN would be great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsfanoldie Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Not much to talk about with this year's inductions it seems.Lou Reed - he should have been in years ago. I honestly can't even believe they are inducting him now. He died after they announced last years, so obviously this is the first they could get him up there. It is disrespectful that he had to die for him to get their attention, and its just plain unnecessary at this juncture cause he was still going and would have performed and said some great things, etc. He had the commercial and critical catalogue for his solo career that he should have been inducted years ago. Its just rude the way they are handling that, but he's most likely a shoe in.Joan Jett - I'm not a fan, but I'm sure she'll get in. She's been campaigning for them for years (I remember when she performed for Dave Clark 5 and for Nirvana last year thats exactly what I thought) and I don't blame her for that because obviously it seems thats what you have to do to get on their good side. She's a good enough performer and has a big catalogue of music that she'll get the nomination I think. Granted most of her big songs are covers, but she'll get in, and she's a girl (no offense, but they need women), so she'll get in for that alone.Green Day - I am a fan, and I don't think they should, but they will. They have the critical acclaim and they are new enough and they are still active that they will go in immediately. They are the "Nirvana" of this year of being the most "modern" example of a Hall Of Fame band. They don't deserve to be in though, at least not yet, and its kind of unreal they are going in before people like Pearl Jam, etc. Even if those guys can't be nominated yet, you can just see they are rushing bands like Green Day to the hall.Stevie Ray Vaughn - Should be in and will go in. He should have been in years ago. Its insane he isn't. I'd be shocked if they snub him from the nomination.The rest all suck IMO. Again, Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, Chic, Kraftwerk, NWA, WAR do not fit for me. The 5th one will probably be NWA.The biggest news from this is who they are still snubbing. Deep Purple was the third of the big snubs (with Rush and KISS) so I was positive they would get rid of that this year. Again, Deep Purple isn't even a big band of mine, but I don't deny their impact and talent. Its so silly they aren't in yet. This hall is a fucking travesty.

Powerage5 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 NWA is all I care about on the nominee list. If they're gonna go down the rap road (which they obviously are) then NWA is about the most important rap artist they could induct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsfanoldie Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 NWA is all I care about on the nominee list. If they're gonna go down the rap road (which they obviously are) then NWA is about the most important rap artist they could induct.Thats fair and I agree with that, but at the end of the day it is the Rock And Roll hall of fame. Even if they've made a complete joke about it, I'd still like to see rock bands go in it. I guess I have this weird emotion that every year makes me want them to try and get better. Even if NWA is the best of the rap inductees, I just can't bring myself to vote for an act I don't think would even nominate themselves for this Hall in the first place.

MEXzilla Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Can't believe Bill Withers and SRV aren't already in. Also how in the world is Green Day nominated and Soundgarden isn't? Wow talk about usual shitfest here. NWA!? Really lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nulla Lex Ink. Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Eh, not a lot I'd care to see here. Maybe Bill Withers (though I'm not a huge fan of his), Lou Reed, Stevie Ray Vaughan and The Smiths, but that's about it.Alice in Chains better be on next year's list though. Seriously, if GNR and Nirvana get in their first eligible year, Alice in Chains should too.On an unrelated note, according to this: http://www.futurerocklegends.com/future_eligibles.php Adam Sandler's eligible in 2018. I'd vote for him to get in just for the hilarity that would ensue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Another year of HoF, another year of mulletheads crying because an artist/band that isn't "rock" is nominated. Non-rock artists have been inducted since the year they started this fucking thing - deal with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, if GNR and Nirvana get in their first eligible year, Alice in Chains should too.They won't and you can be assured of that. Whether you're a fan or not, they didn't have the worldwide appeal that GNR or Nirvana had. You can't really compare them to those guys. And as much as the band loves to induct "newer" people, they simply didn't have enough impact. You have to be a Pearl Jam or Green Day to get nominated first ballot. You have to take the world by storm at some point in your life (Ten, Dookie and American Idiot, respectively) and stick around to really make it. Those bands have it that Alice In Chains doesn't.I could even see the Hall thinking Soundgarden is more worthy that AIC. And thats not that I disagree with you. Just saying I think thats how many would see it. AIC kind of got stuck in the middle of all that stuff and never really rose to the top to be someone people consider a Hall Of Fame band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky_Rose Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm personally glad to see Stevie Ray Vaughan, Nine Inch Nails, Green Day, Lou Reed, and the Smiths on that list. I also agree that NWA is a good choice if they want to go in the rap direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real McCoy Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Am I the only one that saw SRV on that list and said "What? He isn't in yet?"As far as the others, meh. Lou Reed will get the sympathy vote, unfortunately. Sorry, never got the fuss over that guy.It seems way too soon for Green Day and NIN. Nothing against either going in at some point, though. Especially Trent.And for the love of God, the Smiths should NEVER, EVER be inducted. Edited October 9, 2014 by The Real McCoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacements completely off the list this year. Never see Styx or REO Speedwagon on the list.Joan Jett's long overdue. Chic keeps being in the running. Nile Rodgers, Brian Eno and Todd Rundgren should be in as producers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Some great picks. Shitley Crüe still doesn't get in despite the obvious potential for a highly publicized "final" performance on the show. Only 15 more years until Kanye is eligible.

Facekicker Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'd give it to Chic, NWA and Kraftwerk just to annoy as many people as possible.It's the only thing the RNRHOF is good for anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
