paul secor Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Invite Joe Tex; consider Chuck Willis; tell Tom Waits & Darlene Love thanks, but you don't make the cut; throw the rest in the garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Invite Joe Tex; consider Chuck Willis; tell Tom Waits & Darlene Love thanks, but you don't make the cut; throw the rest in the garbage. Hear, hear (though I'd invite Chuck and consider Joe ) After considering Joe, I'd invite them both - I'm in a generous mood this evening, it seems MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Moments Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 what no Kiss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Is Nel Daimond launching a career on this list? Talk about taking a short cut! Bon Jovi Alice Cooper Darlene Love Tom Waits Nel Daimond Chic Beastie boys Chuck Willis Joe Tex Donna Summer Laura Nyro LL Kool J Donovan Dr. John J Geils Band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'm afraid I think Dr. John & Donovan would be good choices. Think Dr. John's tribute to Duke Ellington is all kinds of wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Pomea Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 What in the world are the criteria? Participation in the industry and being vaguely somewhere in the vicinity of popular music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 What in the world are the criteria? Participation in the industry and being vaguely somewhere in the vicinity of popular music? The criteria for the RHOF is whoever Jann Wenner likes, gets in...

Chuck Nessa Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Whatever. :-( Might as well list Lady Gaga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Alice Cooper most definitely deserves to get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Johnson Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 What am I missing, with all the apparent non-love for Tom Waits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danasgoodstuff Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I'm fine with Waits, as a writer. I'm fine with all of 'em, just not v. enthused. I can think of 15 others I'd rather see in, but I'll take any and all of these ahead of Kiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Darlene Love got skills and was a key part of Spector-History. She's good by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 What in the world are the criteria? Participation in the industry and being vaguely somewhere in the vicinity of popular music? There is no credibility to the selections. There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of articles,blogs and online forum posts, written about the absurdity of the selections. Every year the champions of some musician or group who is not in the Hall, will mount an online campaign of outrage about it. Currently the fans of Chicago, Yes, Jethro Tull, the Moody Blues, and Rush, seem to be the most stirred up about the omission of their favorite. If you want to read extended discussions on this topic, the Steve Hoffman forum has them. Whatever. :-( Might as well list Lady Gaga. Just give her a few years, she'll get in.From this list, I would like to see Laura Nyro, Dr. John and Joe Tex make it. I would not have said that about Dr. John except for his post-2000 albums, which I have been positively impressed with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
