R&R Hall of Fame 2017 Inductees
Quote | Reply
So i know some of the elitists on this site turn their noses up at 'prog rock' but what a great pic to get Yes into the hall. Been listening to their music whenever i'm in my truck this week and on satradio.

Joan--don't like her politics but she's amazing vocal talent.

ELO--defined a genre imo. Again not a super fan but they were great at what they did.

Tupac--well, like most of you i am still struggling to recover from the demise of Mr Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G. /s

Journey--back to Prog Rock. Steve vs Steve? Good music and good shows.

Pearl Jam--good alt rock. solid pick.

Steve

Tupac. That's some good Rock n Roll he made.

Yes is one of those bands I thought was in years ago. Journey?

I think her voice is awful, but who in the folk genre has a good voice, really? Certainly not Bob Dylan nor Neil Young. People praise Joni Mitchell and David Crosby, but I don't get it [ever focus on just Crosby's vocals? It's like he's just making up keys to try to find one that works, and almost immediately abandoning it]

She's a very talented songwriter, I must admit

Joan got in last year, with the The Blackhearts; they should have inducted The Runaways instead, and included Lita Ford, Cheri Curry, Sandy West, et al

Warren Zevon is still excluded

The RR HoF selection is a bit of a head scratcher on who gets in, and when and why A gets in before B.

And why the Rock and Roll HoH chooses to jump genres at times. Like Tupac.

The first band I saw in a bar was the Runaways at the ElMacambo Toronto 1978

Nice, the photo looks like it was after Cheri left the group? Since I don't see her there.

Next year it'll be Yanni and Zamfir.

I treated a patient a few years ago who was way in Yanni. I always wondered who actually listened to him, she was 50 something year old woman. Anyway her major concern was being able to get on a plane and fly to wherever it was she was going to go to see a Yanni concert.
