Who cares? No one who is really that into music gives a crap about it. The R&R Hall of Fame is on the same level as Rolling Stone now.




(Though i would love to see Rush and Yes get in. And it is nice to see The Stooges in.)

If ABBA got in this year, that means Air Supply is a shoe-in next year....

With all the crappy music coming out lately, I'm sure they'll get around to everyone eventually.

The Rock and Roll Hall of fame has always been a joke among rock fans. I consider it no more relevant to real rock music and the fans, then Dick Clark's career for the past 35 years has been. It's just a bunch of self congratulatory, self appointed, and self anointed critics anyways. I guess we are lucky when the truly deserving artists do make it in.

No Todd Rundgren either. Huh, one of the most important producers during the last 30+ years.

The stooges got in, thats cool enough for me. ABBA on the other hand...that is a bit ridiculous. Are they ever 'rock?'

ABBA amazes me. I don't think KISS should be in there unless it's just for showmanship or something, definitely not for the music.

So many people are missing the point with Kiss. Read what some of the greats say about early influences. Darrell Abbott emulated Ace Frehley, got a tattoo of Ace. Yea their talent is questionable but rock music isn't just about musicianship. Some of the greatest hard rock songs are just 3 - 4 chords. It is the show, the attitude, pi55ing off parents. It seems most people on TB think you need to have all the technical skills, that's a small part of rock n roll. Face it, when you go to a concert, you are going to a show. If all you want is technique, go see an orchestra. Rock n roll is entertainment.

Abba is the nature of Rock And Roll. Kiss is not.

Yes, I'm joking.

Did someone say Metallica is the Nickelcack of metal?



Because if they didn't, the thought made me laugh just the same.
