For me it is no contest, the most influential, innovative artists who have been consistently great for over 40 years - Kraftwerk.

Pearl Jam are pretty much definately getting in. Of the others I'd be happy with Depeche Mode, ELO and Baez. Can't really comment on Joe Tex as i'm not overly familiar with his work.

Chic and Kraftwerk have been nominated many times before and they will yet again be overlooked for some awful rock or hip hop act. That Hall of Fame is a joke anyway when you look at who gets in and who is kept out.

Tupac and Janet Jackson are not Rock and Roll. It's a pure sign that Rock and Roll is dead

Dreadful, dreadful list.
Nothing against them as artists but this is the RNR Hall of Fame - and it is absolutely backwards for someone like Tupac, influential as he was in the RAP GENRE, to go into the ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME ahead of artists like Iron Maiden (100 million albums sold), Motorhead or Judas Priest. All of whom have been successful acts who have inspired and influenced countless others in the rock/metal world. |
