And it's a joke that Rush isn't in there yet. country of origin? And if "The Band" is in....why not Ronnie Hawkins? They were his original band in the late 50s, early 60s...then they moved on to back up Dylan...then went out on their own. Perhaps Ronnie's mistake was coming to Canada. But then, The Band wouldn't have evolved as we know it today. |

Wot? Ronnie isn't in? I just took it for granted that he was! [guess I gotta do some look-up].
As for The Band . . . they did well because they rode coattails, not because they were any good .

For a long time the RRHOF has been the Music Industry Hall of Fame. That's why Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, Sly Cooper and the Family Stone, John Mellancamp and now Madonna are in it. It's also why Paul Shaffer is on the selector's boards. And it's not like this is a true Hall of Fame. It's a privately owned organization with no accountability. They can do what they want. Whether you liked her or not, it's hard to argue that Madonna wasn't an innovator and didn't have any influence on music. Yep....Madonna was/is a worldwide phenom....re-inventing her image/style over the years with great success. Quite a "body" of work. Now, if The Spice Girls get in, I'll be angry.  Cher? |
