Who the hell decides on those in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

[Archae]

And how do they decide?

Because The Moody Blues, ELO and Heart aren't in it! :grr:

1. I wish they would rename it to what it truly is

The Mass-Produce crap music Hall-of-Fame.

12. That's pretty much what "Hall of Fame" means in any field.

They don't call it the "Hall of Skill and Talent." Often skill and talent wind up there, but it certainly isn't a requirement.

I'll be happy until Rush gets in, then I can turn my back on it. :)

2. Jimmy Cliff is in.

That makes me happy.

[TZ]

3. I'd mention the fact that Rush isn't in it...

but I have the feeling someone else in this thread will make a comment praising them for it..:grr:
*cough* music snob from Virginia *cough*

4. I'm from California

I just happen to live in Virginia.

[TZ]

5. Oh I know.

But its so much fun to remind you that you live in the same sucky state as Midlo....

[Symarip]

6. At least they sell beer at the 7-11 here

Say what you want about 'sucky' Virginia - at least I can get a Mickey's when I feel like it.

7. Satan, Paul Anka and Phil Spector throw darts at a spinning wheel

[SoxFan]

8. Ian Wenner and a tribe of baboons in Yemen

That's the only way I can explain why Abba and Billy Joel are in and Joy Division and The Cure are not.

[Fire Walk With Me]

9. The assistants of those who receive voting notices.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

10. Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Agnetha Fältskog

Honestly, that's the only way it can be explained.

[Dr. Strange]

13. Rock me!

14. I'll take ABBA over what passes for "music"

from the Smashing Pumpkins

[Tommy_Carcetti]

16. All right, turtle girl.....the truce is over.

I am neutral on Rush no more.

[Dr. Strange]

17. Dude. No. Dude.

Don't cross the Rushicon.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. Sir, that is difficult. I try to obey.....

15. +3.14159 26535...

[LostInAnomie]

11. I'm pretty sure Kip Winger is on the committee.

[CreekDog]

18. Clive Davis
