Who is not in the Rock and Roll Hall that should be? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Jrnygrl · 03-15-2005, 01:27 PM

Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts about who should be inducted into the RRHOF that hasn't been inducted yet?

Here is a link for the list of those inductees already in the RRHOF:

Van Halen
Black Sabbath
Chicago
Rush
Journey

I'm affraid that I don't see any of these bands ever being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and it is a crime that they will not be.

I am shocked at how much the Hall dismisses hard rock bands as well as "pop" bands they consider "cheesy" (like Hall And Oates or ABBA)

groups like Van Halen, Black Sabbath, Rush, Deep Purple, etc... have earned a place in the Hall, and I also think acts like Hall and Oates and ABBA have also earned a place, but since they are "pop", they won't be taken seriously

The Monkees.

Thank You Very Much.

Well that's a crock.

ABBA? I've got to disagree with that inclusion but I see what you mean.

I do think Van Halen will eventually be voted in, and am kinda surprised they're not in on the first ballot.

Question: What about Foreigner? Or did their later Adult Contemporary dabblings sink their cause?

why not? Sure, many of their biggest hits are cheesy on the surface, but Andersson and Ulvaeus were masters of production along with their songwriting. I saw the Super Troopers documentary on them and the production techniques and melodies to their songs are so much more complex than a lot of people who only know Dancing Queen are willing to give them. There was a huge 80's backlash when people just associated them as "another 70's disco pop band" but in the 90's, people like Bono and Kurt Cobain finally gave ABBA their due because they are so much more than "a pop band from the 1970's"

They certainly belong in the Hall of Fame, Benny and Bjorn were master songwriters and producers, and frankly, their songs are classics.
