Thanks. Plenty of time to forgive and forget.

Only Rockers, why?

if janet doesn't get in,
then no britney, no beyonce, she changed the game for female artists. usher won't get in, rkelly eventually, christina eventually (best vocalist of her generation)

LittleBLUECorvette said:

ITS CALLED THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME. LOL!!!! Led zeppelin, aerosmith belong there, not beyonce.

Funkmaster3000 said:

Are you fucking stupid? Didn't I just explain to you yesterday that all genres of music are represented in the hall contrary to its name?

Funkmaster3000 said:

Run DMC, Smokey Robinson, BB King ect are a,ll in the rock hall and not rockers ...

Im saying that it is stupid that rappers are in the rock and roll hall of fame because they had no effect on rock or its history. Lol relax. Im saying maybe they should call it the music hall of fame. Makes more sense.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Im trying to say that is wrong. Except for bb king cause he influenced jimmy page, eric clapton, ect.. lol run dmc didn't influence rock that much.

Janet will get in soon. They may not thing to nominate her until next year, no one cares about Floppet Flopson or Fail Street.

Beyoncé will definitely get in when the time comes, Usher may, Justin may, Alicia Thieves may, Shitney has a slight chance, Screamtina won't be relevant enough to be thought about, and I hope Piss Kelly never makes it.

You know Rock N Roll and Rock are totally different. Rock is a genre, Rock N Roll is like a melting pot of everything.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Rock & roll was always complex. It ain't as simple as rock guitars, hard drums and a loud voice lol

Timmy84 said:

Ik that it is complex but artists like beyonce and Eminem are no where near close to rock let alone rock and roll. The rock and roll hall of fame is not a great accomplishment anymore because its not fair that the beatles have to watch llcool J get inducted.

Funkmaster3000 said:

Music evolves, LL was important to Hip-Hop, get over it.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Yeah ik it does. But rock and roll is still around and ll didn't influence it. Thats why he should be inducted to the hip hop hall of fame. thats the whole purpose of it. ill get over it when CCR is inducted in the hip hop hall of fame.

Funkmaster3000 said:

You don't get it do you man.

Like I said when rock & roll first started to evolve, it wasn't really necessary to play guitar. But back then rock & roll was either rhythm or blues or "hoy-hoy". The rock star bravado is not just for folks who use guitar-driven music.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

What don't i get. lol why should those people be inducted they had no influence on rock and roll. none. zero.

Timmy84 said:

thats why they should have an R&B hall of fame lol. Besides the artists back then did influence rock and roll like bb king, albert king, and buddy guy. they should be there.

Funkmaster3000 said:

Can I ask you something? OK, I can get why you don't like that hip-hop artists are inducted, but do you have any problems with any of the inductees pre-Grandmaster Flash & the Furious 5?

Funkmaster3000 said:

Soul music influenced rock. Little Richard, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles & Chuck Berry aren't what you call simply R&B.

Rock & roll was never universally defined.

salt n pepa and guns n roses are elligible next year.

i think both groups deserve it.

cborgman said:

Yes they are. I just hope Donna Summer or CHIC gets in next year lol

Timmy84 said:

as muchas i am not a fan, it is odd that summer isn't in. she was the disco queen. perhaps it is still the disco backlash.

Funkmaster3000 said:

It was established in the first induction ceremony back in 1986, that "just" ROCK music wasn't goin' to be included in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

James Brown
Ray Charles
Sam Cooke
Fats Domino

Four of the first inductees ... Rock music is totally different from Rock N Roll. R'n'R is basically a melting pot of almost every music genre. You're thinking oy rock music as the likes of Led Zep, Who ect. Rock n Roll was considered Elvis, Chuck Berry, James Brown, The Platters, ect.

cborgman said:

I believe it. Like effhunsd said there's a racist, homophobic connotation whenever disco is brought up. Sure folks like ABBA, the Jackson 5 (as the Jacksons), the Bee Gees, Earth, Wind & Fire and some other folks generated from the success of disco but they're never as boxed as Donna, CHIC and 'em seemed to be.

Timmy84 said:

Funkmaster3000 would not agree with these selections.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Exactly.

ROCK MUSIC is basically folks like Zeppelin, Metallica, Black Sabbath, etc. "Rock & roll" as it was defined back in the FIFTIES was something COMPLETELY different.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

I know.

George Michael
