Music: Who Should Get in the 2025 Rock n Roll HoF?

[PANARIN BREAD FAN]

how is bryan adams not in yet? and even writing and singing that awful song of the year ballad should not exclude him from a long overdue induction.

 

[sabremike]

The correct answer is Seth Putnam.

 

[Neil Racki]

Chubby Checker? Didnt he literally just have 2 songs

The Twist

Lets Twist Again

-------------

Stripes and Billy Idol ... come on down

No Chubby Checker had more than two songs, he had 14 top 20 singles, and 35 charting songs overall on the US charts

Besides The Twist, and Let's Twist Again, he also had top 10 hits with Pony Time, The Fly, Limbo Rock, and Slow Twistin

The Twist went # 1 in 1960 and 1962, as well as hitting #16 in a collab with The Fat Boys in 1988

Only Joy Division for me. I don't think Soundgarden's very good either, personally.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Soundgarden and Bad Company should both be in. 2 bands with the greatest frontmen not in the RRHOF. It’s criminal how Paul Rodgers gets ignored for what he has done in Rock.,

Maybe not THE greatest not in

What he is still doing... this guy can still sing in his 70's.



Edit: Listening, I now understand why he won't get into the hall of fame while he is still alive, because he will blow everyone else off the stage...

 

[I am not exposed]

Bad Company are solid. Fine with them getting in.

Can't stand Soundgarden. Mostly due to Cornell's voice. Urgh. Yeah, he's technically a good singer but just not my cup of tea. I can understand their nomination though.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Will rant/rave about it every year

Sade not being in HOF is a travesty

 

[DaaaaB's]

I can only name 1 outKast songs but I can name about 30 Bad Company songs

That's fine but I'm guessing a lot of people can name more than one Outkast song.

 

[Behn Wilson]

That's fine but I'm guessing a lot of people can name more than one Outkast song.

I cant, but that one song is a great song and video

 

[Troy McClure]

That's fine but I'm guessing a lot of people can name more than one Outkast song.

If you only ask grey haired white guys, then yeah, you're probably right about Outlast.

At the same time, if you ask anyone (of any race or gender) under 45 to name Bad Company songs, you're going to come up very empty as well.

This becomes a demographic problem where having the hall of fame cater to only one demographic doesn't work.

 

[Unholy Diver]

the easiest way to solve it is to just put everyone in, it's just a museum after all

You've seriously never heard of one of Hey Ya or Ms. Jackson?

Don't mean to sound rude but both those songs were played on the radio non stop back when they were released.

If you only ask grey haired white guys, then yeah, you're probably right about Outlast.

At the same time, if you ask anyone (of any race or gender) under 45 to name Bad Company songs, you're going to come up very empty as well.

I was saying most people can name more than one Outkast song but you're probably right about older white guys not being able to.

I'm 41 and only know three Bad Company songs. I'd be surprised if most of my friends can name that many so I agree with you there as well.
