Valid point. With Rock Classsics like Tom Saywer, they shouldn't be denied.

has motorhead been inducted? they're kinda rock'n'roll. i mean, not as much as madonna, but close.

Anxiety said:

No metal acts besides Sabbath and AC/DC and Van Halen have been inducted.

Blame it on Jann Wenner, that Rolling Stones founding bitch for being a popularist.

Metal has always been given a bad rap anyway.

Timmy84 said:

i think motorhead is about as metal as the ramones were punk. i know each band is permanently linked to those genres, but i think they were really just good, pure rock bands who just so happened to be embraced by particular subgenres. i mean, WTF...lemmy *IS* rock'n'roll. rock'n'roll *IS* lemmy. there's no difference between the two!

Anxiety said:

I know. Lemmy is a bad-ass by the way. The fact that they ain't induct them yet is proof some of the guys who vote the artists in don't know shit about rock & roll or who influenced artists in such a way that shaped the genre as it was in all of its formats.

Interesting that Paul Rodgers is up alone and not part of either Free or Bad Company.

IMO, he's one of the best Classic Rock voices out there.

RNRHOF went to the pot with the quickness...

Madonna? I guess it's not about talent, but I thought it
also wasn't about record sales either...hmm, what is their
criteria???

marto said:

I didn't get that memo

Madonna
Donna Summer
Chic

I pray that these three get inducted but somehow I don't think it's gonna happen At least not this year.

daPrettyman said:

I think the only way that would happen is if the Beasties qualified for induction before Run-DMC. No way the Hall would do that otherwise.

SoulAlive said:

Two out of three won't be bad and by that I mean Donna and Chic. Madonna will get there next year. But then again it could be Donna and Madonna. I feel they gonna give Chic the shoulder again (much like the Dave Clark 5). But I think Leonard and John and Bambattaa are going in with Donna and Madonna. The Beastie Boys will have to wait AFTER Run-DMC are inducted.

baroque said:

Huh? What happened? What did she say?

Timmy84 said:

I'd be happy if at least two of them make it

SoulAlive said:

Me too. I love all the major ones being nominated (Madonna, Donna, Chic, Afrika, Beasties, John, etc.). I hardly knew about the DC5 though. Or the Ventures for that matter... or maybe I did but I never knew the name of the group who sung this and that.

silverchild said:

They should've been inducted. But like Donna, the DC5 and 'em, they've be included in the nomination list like 10 years from now.

SoulAlive said:

I don't see all of them getting in.

Donna seems to be doubly screwed. If Madonna gets in (BTW, is she a lock? Musicians are voting and they might hate her and resent her sucess), will they put in two female dance acts? If Chic gets in, will they put in disco acts?

At the very least let's hope Donna gets in before Gloria Gaynor!

VinnyM27 said:

All three seem to be in a dilemma. I feel the Hall of Fame may once again not give it up for Chic for some reason but they probably induct Donna just to get it out of the way. Madonna's induction will bring the Hall of Fame more attention. So it's tough how it'll be decided.

When are the results gonna be known as to whom get inducted.

But if you compare Ms. Summer and Madonna, Donna actually gets more respect for her material (from "Love to Love You" to "She Works Hard for the Money"), however, Madonna was always criticized for something. I think if Madge gets inducted, the committee will be criticized for overlooking a legendary female singer who paved the way for current dance music (as Donna did), if Donna gets inducted and not Madge, Madonna fans will criticize the committee for overlooking Madonna.

Timmy84 said:

don't quote me..but i read on this website(the internet isnt really that reliable) but she called patti smith both ulgy and talentless.

baroque said:

Oh I see. Well I go with the old saying "don't believe anything you hear". I'm sure Joan is a good person.

Chic,Madonna and Donna Summer all deserve to be inducted,but because they did dance music,it's not a sure thing.For some reason,disco/dance music doesn't get the same type of respect that other genres get

SoulAlive said:

I don't see why. Dance music has always been a part of rock & roll whether it was about "we're gonna rock this house tonight" to "let's do the twist" to "do the hustle!" I think that their attitude towards disco and dance is that it's pretty much the producer's genre but here we have two women who arrived in two different eras of dance - one came in just time of disco music's coming of age and helped to enrich the genre and the future of dance music and the other came at the end of the "disco sucks" movement and the end of punk to emerge as one of the first modern day dance divas and both of them have had done a variety of genres that are the essence OF rock & roll: new wave, R&B, techno, rock music, etc. and both have succeeded in what they have done. I honestly feel those two will be in before Chic does and I'm serious. But if Chic and the two women get inducted, there goes your disco fraternity right there, they're all right up there with the Bee Gees in my honest opinion and I say Donna has a better chance because LIKE the Bee Gees, she started off singing non-disco music (Broadway, folk and rock). Least that's how I look at it. Plus "Bad Girls" and "Hot Stuff" and "Last Dance" are songs I considered part of the cornerstone of rock & roll in my honest opinion. Donna is not to be put in a box, neither is Madge for those regards.

Crossing my fingers for both Donna Summers and Madonna to get in!

Rodya24 said:

It'll be funny if Madonna gets in because she has a premonition of not doing classic songs. In those regards, she may not even PERFORM. But I bet she'll sang "Ray of Light" and "I Live to Tell" if that happens, probably do "Holiday" too. If Donna gets inducted, it's a guarantee that "Hot Stuff", "Bad Girls", "She Works Hard for the Money" and "Last Dance" will be the songs she'll sing.

how can the beastie boys even be eligible before run dmc?? and i thought an artist had to wait 25 years after their debut album before they are eligible...didnt the beastie boys come out around 1987?
