Music: Rock and roll hall of fame nominations 2021: Tina, King, go gos, Jay z,foofighters

[Incubajerks]

I find this difficult, because I don't know what the criteria are. And because I'm not sure I can take a music Hall of Fame that doesn't already have John Coltrane, Kraftwerk, Bjork, and Joy Division in it, all that seriously.

Anyway, if I just go by who I think deserves to be in a 'Hall of Fame' from that group, I go Kate Bush, Dionne Warwick, Rage, Iron Maiden, and Carole King. Based entirely on which of the five musicians I think has reached the highest-high over the years.

Joy Division and Kraftwerk out, lol.

 

[Voight]

Went with Foo Fighters, Jay Z, RATM, Iron Maiden (thought they were in already) & Tina Turner.

The fact Fela Kuti is number 1 in fan voting is funny

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Kate Bush, Carole King, Tina Turner, Foo Fighters and Dionne Warwick would’ve my top five.

why?

 

[Jumptheshark]

why?

Have you listened to him? My brother who is a jazz musician used to listen to him.

Most of the votes are coming from Nigeria. I am shocked that the Hall is embracing someone who denied AIDS was a real threat in africa

Did Nigerians nominate him?

Did Nigerians nominate him?

The politics behind the hall did. That is one reason Chaka Khan gets nominated almost every year

 

[Habsfunk]

Devo and the York Dolls.

Edit: I would love to see Devo get in. They are one of the most unique and groundbreaking rock bands ever and put out lots of great music. But despite having a very large cult following, the mainstream really only knows them for Whip It.

So you are saying black people only get nominated because of politics?

Foo Fighters, Jay-Z and Tina Turner among 2021 Rock Hall inductees

The performer inductees are the Foo Fighters, the Go-Go’s, Jay-Z, Carole King, Todd Rundgren and Tina Turner.

Happy tina, king and the go gos got in

 

[SomeDude]

At some point they really should change the name to the music hall of fame.

How the FUCO did LL COOL J get in before Maiden

 

[MXD]

Go Go's are probably the very easy call here, despite their music not aging well at all.

Don't call it a comeback. He's been here for years.

 

[kihei]

Surprised Carole King wasn't inducted long ago. Not many prople wrote more memorable hits than she did.

 

[Jussi]

Go Go's are probably the very easy call here, despite their music not aging well at all.

I hadn't even heard of them until after Belinda Carlisle's solo hits in the late 80's.

Hard disagree, I like their stuff 10X more now than back then. They had a great rhythm section. Even now, they put this out last year in their mid-60's, better than 99% of what comes out now. Their documentary was great.

 

[Ceremony]

Why do people care about this?

I'm still yet to see an answer.

That indeed sounds better than what they released in their prime.

 

[Metroid]

What a joke. I like the Foo's and think it's dumb they're in before Maiden

 

[beowulf]

So Grohl is in twice now.

 

[Roo Returns]

The guy's been an influence to Western musicians for decades and when his music was re-released around 2000 it was a whole separate wave.

 

[Roo Returns]

So Grohl is in twice now.

Grohl is like the anti-Jim Rice to the media. It was obvious.

Still no Minnie Riperton who actually played rock and psychedelic.

No Deftones either.

The org is a joke. I've went there twice when I was younger and have no interest in ever going back.
