We all know how the RnR HOF is a sham on account of who they’ve chosen to include and who they’ve not.
However, this particular omission is a giant snub.

Love Carl Palmer solos I gotta say!I like them a lot, but it's a bit of an acquired taste, especially compared to the more rock/jazz oriented prog groups. ELP was very much rooted into classical music and some of it doesn't quite translate.

He did have insane cardio, a true human drum machine.Love Carl Palmer solos I gotta say!

I forgot about Mariah Carey, wow that's embarrassing !Incredible that they are not in, given the wave of late seventies c*ck rock that they spawned.....not a knock on them but there is no doubt about their influence. Their debut album was a juggernaut that took North America by storm and helped to knock disco down a notch. If the Sex Pistols can get in for only producing, Never Mind the Bollocks, then surely Boston deserves to be in solely on the strength of, Boston. They had hit songs after that album as well which is more than the Pistols can claim although I do love NMTB.
Enormous snubbs to The Meters, Betty Davis, Pixies, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Joy Division, Tool, J.J. Cale among others. I don't even like some of these bands (Maiden, Priest) but they were far more successful and/or influential than many of the poor choices that are currently in the Hall.
Industry puppets like Mariah Carey lol?
The Ramones were a fake punk band who played pop garbage that was arranged for them by the studio.....maybe my most hated band of all time for their manufactured image and woefully unimaginative vanilla portfolio. They were to punk as Nickelback is/was to post grunge....sellouts/posers at a time of musical revolution.
Sorry mate....had to vent after opening that door a crack.
I can appreciate the Ramones, much more than all the sucky new wave shit that showed up afterwards.Iron Maiden not in the RnROF has to be the biggest nonsense. Priest too, but Maiden even a BIT more.
I don't get your Ramones hate though @Estimated_Prophet. Pre British-Explosion Pop (and even some of the attitude of those days) played at really high speed had never been done before, at least not quite like that. And they predated punk quite a bit too, so it's not like they were required to have the punk attitude or anything.

Sure if you listen to the "End of Century" and "Pleasant Dreams" albums that's "fake" punk. Ever heard their first album ? Tell me a song like Loudmouth is not was punk is all about
I have heard the album and this is their best song imo.....still doesn't change the fact that they were just playing dress up.
I mean no disrespect to anyone who likes the band and probably shouldn't beat this horse anymore as I generally find it rude to belittle other musicians, or insult the fans of bands. My rant is nothing new about this band in my circle and I should probably keep it there.
He still has them!That yodeler's sideburns are off the charts. I agree this faster version is quite impressive, entertaining video and great song, thanks Angus!
Same here.I was excited for a second when I saw that Green Day were coming to Montreal.
And then saw it was at Osheaga, so I'll pass. I'm like 15-20 years too old for that, and I didn't love it at the time anyway.
You too! I'm relived to see you post as your infrequency was concerning me. I was contemplating getting a buddy of mine that lives not too too far from you check on things,but here you are, great to see!Hey bud, nice to see you around; always fun chatting with you. I don't have a preference, just enjoy good music, especially freaks like that guy. I've been playing the same sort of gutar for over 50 years and i couldl only dream of playing like that. The best I can come up with is more like Tony Rice, Doc Watson, etc. a bit more manageable. BTW I just got my new addition today,: a 12-string Yamaha. Plays and sounds great. 605$ with taxes. It's this one.
Who can't forget these guys,they got so many of the gals to shed their knickers. Got to love that fashion sense,screw Milano! Edinburgh is where the true fashion houses are.lol
Same. They always put on a really fun show, but not enough for me to pay $150 or whatever a one-day pass to Osheaga costs to see them play half as long as they normally do.Same here.
I mean, if I had never saw them, maayyyyyybe, but that's far from the case.
I had the exact same reaction.I was excited for a second when I saw that Green Day were coming to Montreal.
