1. Well, considering that...

Donovan, Laura Nyro, The Small Faces, The Spinners and War, all of whom have been around a lot longer, are just being inducted, I wouldn't worry too much about this. Next year or the year after or the year after that.


And that's not even considering the fact that Rush's music sucks!
:evilgrin:

7. Why Run DMC Then...

...Much younger group and no Rock-N-Roll.

[ixion]

2. amazing... Donna Summer is rock? who knew?

geez.

Rush deserves to be there, hands down. Despite what ^ "some people" ^ say.

3. laura nyro? talk about obscure but ....

4. Cheap Trick is absent once again as well. n/t

5. I am happy they were not nominated. Why would they want to be enshrined in that shithole place?

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? What a fucking joke. I hope they never get nominated. They're too good for that and it would be insulting to get nominated at this point. They should have been nominated in their first year of eligibility.

6. Gee...I was hoping Eric Clapton would get nominated for the 10th time in a row!

:sarcasm:

8. it's ridiculous

Jann Wenner seems to have some kind of personal beef with the guys. I have no idea what it is.

It's probably political. Wenner, I think, is under the mistaken impression that Rush are Ayn Rand acolytes, even though they have described themselves as "libertarian socialists."

Who are Eric B. and Rakim? :shrug:

Okay, I looked them up. They were a rap duo that released a total of four albums, in the late eighties, early nineties.

9. my complaint

I wish Jan & Dean would have been nominated. They are way overdue!
