Madonna: Rock n Roll Hall of Famer - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I think in another year or two Madonna will be eligible for induction in the RnR Hall of Fame. What do you think her prospects are?

Dean Winchester · 06-07-2005, 08:35 PM

great, now we're going to have 100 posts of one of two options.

1. "Madonna sucks. I grew up in the 60's and 70's when "real" music was popular and Madonna is definately no Beatles or James Taylor. And I refuse to accept the fact Madonna has accomplished anything decent in the world of music because I hated her so much in 1985, even though 90% of critics who hated her circa Like A Virgin championed her during Ray Of Light, I still stick to my guns that she sucks"

or

2. "Madonna's a flash in the pan. She's been out for 20 years but seriously, in the next 6 months, everyone will forget she exists"

I was thinking about putting in an disclaimer for one particular poster, but hopefully everyone can refrain from their typical negative comments and simply focus on the question from the Hall of Fame angle.

I'll think she'll make it, first ballot.

TJL · 06-07-2005, 08:49 PM

For some reason, i don't think she'll make it on the first ballot.

I think it will take her a while to be inducted.

Courtnee · 06-07-2005, 08:54 PM

she's not rock...........................................

Jrnygrl · 06-07-2005, 09:48 PM

Unfortunately she will make it first ballot.

why the frowns? she belongs in there. If the highly overrated, pretentious and boring (all IMO) U2 can make it in first ballot, so should Madonna IMO.

I think that Madonna deserves a place in the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, but I really don't think it is going to happen.

Steve M. · 06-07-2005, 10:21 PM

I DON'T THINK SO!!!

Madonna is the greatest musical charlatan to ever pollute the ariwaves. I've heard most of her eighites and nineties singles and I've had the misfortune of hearing her first three albums (my sister liked her - note tense - and we had to share the living stereo at the time). Her "music" is such godawful snythesized dance noise. She isn't rock at all. True, neither is James Taylor, and he's in the R&RHoF. James Taylor shouldn't really be in there either, though - and I like James Taylor!

It really disgusts me that Madonna - who's eligible in 2009 - might very well get in on the first try while Family - whose seven albums are among the most essential in all of rock and roll - have been eligible since 1993 and still can't get in because they didn't have any hits in America although they were very popular in Britain.

Oh, wait - it's a rock hall of fame, not a hall of artistic recognition. Well, if Madge gets in, you might as well take Paul McCarntey's advice and rename it the Popular Music Hall of Fame.

John Strausbaugh wrote in the New York Press that it's become a pop hall of fame already. "When her time comes," he wrote, "Britney will be inducted. Billy Joel was."

Madge, Britney and BJ in the Hall of Fame - that makes me want to

I totally agree, but the fact is that the people who make these choices hold U2 in much higher regard then Madonna. Everytime U2 releases an album, the critics claim it to be a masterpiece. If Bono released an album of him singing in the shower, they would call that a masterpiece.

Billy Joel is in the Hall of Fame?!
I take back what I said. Madonna will make it in. If Billy Joel made it into the Hall of Fame, then anyone can.

Again, I nominate --

FAMILY!

If Madge gets in, my reaction will be a vocal sound similar to Roger Chapman's singing style! Now you have an idea how Chappo sings!!

I agree. I don't think U2 are THAT bad, but everyone acts like they are this amazing band, and I don't see it. They have moments of brilliance, but for the most part, their albums as wholes cannot keep my interest. U2 and R.E.M. vie for the top spot of my opinion of the most overrated acts of the past 20 years.

I know you hate, hate, hate Madonna... but honestly, do you really think that Family is that well-known here? If an act like The Who or something had been snubbed for years on end and yet Madonna got in, your disgust would be more understandable, but when I first heard about "Family", I thought it was a reference to the obscure Prince protege group from 1985. Madonna and Family are in completely different zeitgeists of notoriety in the US.
