And your 2020 R&R HOF inductees are...

[WildcatfaninOhio]

Pop star Whitney Houston, rapper Notorious BIG, T. Rex, Depeche Mode, NIN, and The Doobie Brothers.

Interesting, and sad, that pop divas and rappers get in but rock bands like Judas Priest and Thin Lizzy are still waiting.

They should nominate on a 5-year schedule as they’ve clearly run out of deserving candidates.

 

[Henogee1975]

Just call it the music hall of fame

I doubt most bands even care anymore since it's turned into a joke but it's a crime Priest can't get inducted.

 

[P19978]

Can't say I even care about the RORHOF anymore... they've become a bit of a joke.

 

[ManitouDan]

what a joke.

 

[GonzoCat90]

Only the music I like is deserving. Any other type is lesser and for those of low intelligence or questionable taste because the lyrics are meaningless and the musical talent is nonexistent. It's just noise.

 

[Glenn's Take]

T Rex? How the hell did they get in?

 

[420grover]

T Rex? How the hell did they get in?

Because they were huge in England in the 70's. 11 top ten, 4 number 1 songs in a just a few years.

 

[Glenn's Take]

Because they were huge in England in the 70's. 11 top ten, 4 number 1 songs in a just a few years.

Fair enough. I always considered them a one hit wonder since Bang a Gong is their only song I know and I probably only know that because of Power Station remaking it .

Well, they shouldn't have been:

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

You probably know this song, just not the name of the song or band.

Agree, many of the artists in the R&R HOF I don't even remotely consider them with R&R type music.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Remove Rush from the HOF.

 

[mrhotdice]

At least they got one correct. The Doobie Brothers should have been in 20 years ago.

 

[Tskware]

Agree, before I opened the thread, I wondered, "What terrible nominations will they make this year?" By "NIN" I assume you mean Nine Inch Nails? Really? T Rex and the Doobies are rock and roll, but HOF worthy? Nah . . . .

Sombody ban this guy.

 

[ukalum1988]

Whitney Houston??? GTFO....

 

[UK 82]

Isn't Mozart the original rock star? Hell he's been waiting nearly 230 years for his nomination.

 

[tallkat70]

They need to mix it up, I know they want to keep interest in the HOF and fund raising but it's diluting it at this point honoring people who are undeserving or not rock and roll and just did pop music after 1955. I think they need to start honoring songs. Five/ten greatest songs that defined/redefined rock, five greatest one- hit wonders in rock, etc. Do it with albums, too . Then sprinkle the occasional artist in when they're worthy.

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

Absolutely criminal that Vanilla Ice hasn’t been inducted into the R&R HOF yet.

 

[*CatinIL*]

The fact that the Doobies weren't already in shows that the RRHF is a joke.

 

[J_Dee]

No Iron Maiden, either.

 

[Kooky Kats]

The Strokes
Interpol
Editors
Silversun Pickups
Yeah Yeah Yeahs


All have better music than those turds

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

Has Cardi B been inducted yet or nah?

 

[Tskware]

Warren Zevon is not in the RNRHOF. Send Lawyers, Guns and Money, the **** is about to hit the fan

 

[TortElvisII]

Absolutely criminal that Vanilla Ice hasn’t been inducted into the R&R HOF yet.

He will be.

 

[Nuke99m.]

Jethro Tull not in. Wtf?

 

[MegaBlue05]

Hall is ******** until Motorhead, Priest and Maiden are in with Slayer and Megadeth not too far behind.

 

[RacerX.ksr]

Can't say I even care about the RORHOF anymore... they've become a bit of a joke.

You could have said that 20 years ago and it would have been just as true.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Where the hell are The Lone Rangers?

 

[Blueisbest]

Remove Rush from the HOF.

Wrong on so many levels. Rush was an incredible band and has been for 40 years.
