Most likely because Jann Wenner doesn't like them.

I don't like Rush or Neil Diamond, but they, along with Chicago, should be in the HOF.
Sounds like it's even more full of bullshit than baseball's HOF.

I know of Wenner (and, his politics); but, what does that have to do with Chicago not being in the R-n-R HOF ? TED Z |

The Rock 'n Roll exists to make money. It's not as there was a pressing public need to give The Beatles, the Rolling Stones or Black Sabbath more attention and awards. They are having the public vote not because they think it will produce better selection, but for $$ and exposure-- which right there makes a selection illegitimate from the start.
There's nothing wrong with that stuff, I suppose. Just don't expect me to to take it seriously. And, for the record, there are bands in the HOF that I like and think are good. I'm not saying that being inducted means a band sucks. Last edited by drc; 11-16-2012 at 01:58 PM. |

Actually the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame should be in Detroit anyway, not Cleveland.

I believe he had some feud with the band or its manager, and it is claimed that he is very influential in terms of who gets in. Google Chicago Hall of Fame Wenner and you will see what I mean. |

chicago
I saw them perform when i was an undergraduate---1970 or so--- and have loved them ever since. They should definitely be in the HOF.
all the best, barry |

Neil Diamond was inducted into the R&R HOF last year. He gave a notable acceptance speech:
"I have no idea where we are… What are we doing here? What the heck is going on right here?” |

Chicago
Love Chicago. Just the lead guitar playing in 25 or 6 to 4 should be enough to put them in.

Worthy, When we were adolescents, the machos considered them a chick band, ala LRB and Barry White. But a necessary 8 track for the glovey. Agreed, everyone loved the Doobies x 10 (prior to Michael Mc)
Also for consideration; Grand Funk, Yes, Kansas, Derek and the Dominos, Boston, Rick Derringer, Foreigner, J Geils, Styx and all the others on my playlist. |

I like Dead Kennedys because half their song titles are so blatantly offensive that Leon wouldn't like me list them here.
Actually, Dead Kennedys' first album is an acknowledged punk classic, but it was their gleeful intention to lyrically shock uptight people. Those who were seriously offended (and there were quite a few) missed it that they their songs were satirical and often humorous. Last edited by drc; 11-18-2012 at 04:48 AM. |

Music appreciation is pretty subjective stuff. Chicago is not my cup of tea but I presume they belong in the HOF due to a boatload of cd sales over many years.

I've always viewed the R & R Hall of Fame as a "lowest common denominator", and pay no attention to who they enshrine. If Chicago is out, that probably bodes well for the band's true worth. The fact that Dion is "in", but bands like Squeeze, Depeche Mode and The Cure are not demonstrates the HOF's lack of diversity and imagination. I guess the Chili Peppers somehow got in, so perhaps there's hope for other innovative/alternative bands. Not that it matters much... Last edited by perezfan; 11-18-2012 at 12:32 PM. |
