[flvegan]

1. *insert rant about Rush being passed over once again*

Who's Wanda Jackson?

[HuskerDU]

2. Queen of Rock-a-billy.

[flvegan]

3. Queen? I though Rock-a-billy was an autonomous collective.

[HuskerDU]

5. Nope, Elvis was the King and Wanda the Queen. They

even dated back in the day.

[Fran Kubelik]

17. yup

[TZ]

13. My first thought

Run D-M-C is in the ROCK N' ROLL hall of fame but not Rush? :banghead:

[flvegan]

18. I doubt they'll get in.

The Beastie Boys were up last year, but didn't get in.

:rofl:

[Sheets of Easter]

4. Metallica deserves it.

Love them or hate them, they helped people take the heavy metal genre seriously.

I'm sure this thread will bring out the "Why isn't (insert wanky pretentious prog rock ban here) ever inducted??" crowd.

[IndianaJones]

6. no Bert Blyleven again I see. nt.

[Dr. Strange]

9. Bert's batting average was considerably lower than Beck's.

Which is why I attend Beck concerts with a sign that says "Circle Me Beck!"

He never does though.

[NashVegas]

22. I Saw Stevie Ray Open For Beck

He had about 20 pedals and played the thing behind his back. I was entertained.

Then Beck came out. He had three pedals. And blew SRV out of the room.

[Forkboy]

14. Ok, you got me laughing on that one.

:rofl:

[LynneSin]

7. The people who pick these bands can kiss my ass and die a painful death

Anti-progism will NOT be tolerated

:cry:

[SoxFan]

8. Rush was accidentally elected to the baseball hall of fame yesterday

Geddy, Alex, and Neal will be joining Jim Rice and Ricky Henderson in Cooperstown.

Their old friend Warren Cromartie was passed over yet again, though.

[taterguy]

10. Does your ass have toxins that we should know about?

Maybe you should have it looked at by a doctor

:)

[LynneSin]

11. Only for those people who refuse to acknowledge the brilliance of Rush

the rest of you I put a filter back there in order to keep it safe.

[Sebastian Doyle]

12. Blame it on their manager

Ray Danniels is one of the biggest pieces of shit in the music industry. He's destroyed every band he's ever worked with EXCEPT for Rush, and that's probably why nobody in the Hall of Fame will consider them, because they would have to go through that asshole to set it up.

I don't know how Rush puts up with him, honestly.

[Forkboy]

15. Oh well, maybe next year for Smeg and the Heads.

Mega super duper all time props to anyone who can name the real band the two guys in the vid were really in. ;)

[Dr. Strange]

21. I'm not about to watch that video.

It's just so...cryptofacist!

[Forkboy]

23. Keep writing those hits, kid

:)

[Fran Kubelik]

16. Wanda Jackson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:woohoo:

[Deja Q]

19. I nominate the Spice Girls and Menudo

:evilgrin:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

20. Will a death finally get The Stooges in? Will the Cure be passed over yet again?

No offense to Run DMC - I've seen them live. They're great, but shouldn't Iggy Pop be recognized first in a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before they branch out into rap?
