Rock 'N Roll HOF is for loser commercial bands. I'd be embarrassed if one of my favorite bands ever made it. Luckily, I don't think Discharge is on the short list.
Actually, it's true. I take Rock N Roll Hall of Fame very unseriously. And with quite a bit of disdain and sneering. I rank it up there as an idea with a Rock N Roll Amusement Park and the Rock N Roll Wax Museum. Voting by the public? Ooooh, that's makes it that much more legitimate. Can't wait for Backtreet Boys' induction. Last edited by drc; 11-16-2012 at 01:14 PM.

Most likely because Jann Wenner doesn't like them.

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 02:58 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.

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
