Do you think they belong, if so why. Personally I do, not base on albums sales but for their originality and the impact they had on the music biz. Not sure what the criteria is for indution and I know it's a long way from now before they're even consider. So org what's say you. Hall of fame or not.

No.

no.

and what impact on the music biz?

oh..uh huh...deep!

Sorry, no...

Still, considering that the DIXIE CUPS have been inducted, you just never know.....

No

VoicesCarry said:

Is that code for the Dixie Chicks? Or am I just stupid? And if it is code for the chicks of Dixie, WTF???

Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get ma-a-arried.....

VoicesCarry said:

WHEW, thank you! I was hoping that was a real group & not the friggin Dixie Chicks

CalhounSq said:

Well, actually they haven't been inducted. But that annoying ditty was named one of the "500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll".

So if they do induct TLC, they may as well induct the Dixie Cups.

Their last three albums (3D, Fanmail, Crazysexycool) sold a combine 22 millions copies. (I know I said albums sales should not be the criteria but you asked) and that's an major impact. Not to mention their potential was endless Lisa unfortuate death brought an end to what many people believe could have been the Ist all female group to threaten the Supremes and becoming the greatest Female group of all time.

no. it isn't 2017 yet.

3D fizzed and plummeted pretty quickly on the charts, however. Methinks they were on their way out, with or without Lisa. Their time had passed.

GrayKing said:

True indeed. to get into the RRHOF your first album had to come out 20 years ago.

Soulchild82 said:

Isn't it 25?

VoicesCarry said:

yes.

VoicesCarry said:

I truly believe if Lisa had'nt passed 3D would had been a hugh hit for them (the album is great check it out.) But with no tour and and their record company pretty much giving up on them the album just die. Also there's not a person in the RRHOF that does'nt have an album or two that flop.

This is ridiculous! what next? the Spice Girls?

R their any rappers in hall of fame yet? Like Run DMC? I know most r too young.....do u reckon alot of these inductee's will be rappers in the future?

Marrk said:

Exactly! The Spice Girls, then Britney and probably Kylie too

No, not Yet even though rap is like almost 40 years old. but Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five are nominees this time around.

Some Hiphop acts with records released in 1979 I would not nominate:
Sugarhill Gang: "Rapper's Delight" (Sugarhill)
Funky 4 + 1: "Rappin' and Rockin' the House" (Enjoy)
Sequence: "Funk You Up" (Sugarhill)

-While these are all landmark JAMS within the genre, I wouldn't consider their careers as shaping the landscape of the likes of the Rock'N'Roll hall of fame. Even though they are all original cats, and had alot of firsts (Funky 4+1 first hiphop act on SNL, or whatever it may be).

Some Hiphop acts with records released in 1979 I WOULD nominate:
Grandmaster Flash & the Furious 5: "Superrappin'" (Enjoy)
-More so for representing Grandmaster Flash as being one of the 3 godfathers of the genre, and also for the breakthrough "The Message".

Kurtis Blow: "Christmas Rappin'" (Mercury)
-first rapper signed to a major. I think that is significant in itself. I consider alot of Kurtis' output classic. And his popularity lasted ALOT longer than you can say for alot of those first-generation hiphop acts.

Run DMC didn't pop until 1983 so we'll just have to see in 2008.

No.

TLC isn't worthy of being in the R&R hall of fame. They haven't really shown any substantial growth. They are pretty much an act that was born, bred and peaked in the '90s. Their later LPs were very, very dull. After CSC, I pretty much tuned out from them.
