The Michael Stanley Band - Rock n Roll Hall of Famer - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Steve M. · 06-08-2005, 10:33 PM

The Michael Stanley Band are a blue-collar rock and roll group named for its guitarist-leader that has a big following in their home state of Ohio but, unlike their next-door neighbors in Michigan, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, they've never broken through to a national audience. They're a cut above other heartland bands, though, and they are a prime candidate for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Pros:

They're from Ohio, where the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is located.

Their Tom Petty-esque single "He Can't Love You Like I Love You" is one catchy tune!

The video for "He Can't Love You Like I Love You" was aired on MTV in the channel's early days.

Cons:

The Rock and Roll has no time for a band that's only popular in one state, even if it is Ohio.

Seminal new-wave bands from Ohio like Devo and Pere Ubu have a better shot.

If any Ohio old-wave band gets in to the R&RHoF, it'll be the James Gang.

Your thoughts?

I remember a song they did called "This Is My Town", a straight on rocker.

Oh, yeah, I vaguely remember that song - another good reason to induct the MSB!

You hear that sort of thing in a lot of places. That's not my milieu. Rock and roll is good-time music. I love rock. So did my parents.
