    Rush gets in and the Hall of Fame finally has some credibility.

    Now for The Cars and B-52s.

    ;)

    Hate Rush but will accept they are Hall of Fame worthy but think without Kiss or Thin Lizzy in is a damn shame.

    Rush should decline, and start a hall of fame for halls of fame, where various halls of fame are inducted or not, and then not induct the R&RHoF.


    Seriously, a hall of fame for Rock is kind of a weird concept to me.

    From what I understand Randy Newman was actually a pretty accomplished songwriter in the 70s.

    It will be interesting to see the inductees 10-20 years from now. There was a point where "good music" and popularity became almost mutually exclusive, especially in regards to rock music. Will be curious to see how the HoF reconciles that.

    And I like Public Enemy, but are they considered rock and roll because they featured guitar in a lot of their samples, or can pretty much any genre get in?

    24 years ago, P.E. fight the power. 24 years later, they beat the power. I also like their "Bring The Noise" with Anthrax.

    I think it's worth noting the possible distinction between the Rock genre and Rock and Roll as a catch-all for all non-country pop music.

    Good to hear about Rush being inducted. This should pave the way for King Crimson (who were the best live rock act around from 72-74). And Yes.

    When I first listened to Sail Away I thought it was a good record. I have been listening to it a lot this past year and only now do I realize the simplicity of the music kept me from seeing how great this album really is.

    There are no bad songs on Sail Away. One of the few albums that I can listen all the way through without skipping a song or hoping that the one bad song would hurry up and end.
