Joe Cocker is NOT in the RnR HOF

[P19978]

... and that is a travesty.

Arguably the greatest white blues influenced singer in RnR history.

I could post vids but everybody knows his talent.

Just one more reason the HOF is a joke.

 

[funKYcat75]

Shouldn't have cried in that one song.

The HOF voters should lift him up where he belongs.

He obviously needs more than a little help from his friends.
Just getting by is not working.

I always get angry when a group of people I've never met decide on something that has no effect on my life at all.

Did Cocker write any of his own stuff?

 

[domino79]

Neither is Hector Lavoe. A glaring omission indeed.

 

[krazykats]

Tupac Shakur is though. Damn liberals.

Did Cocker write any of his own stuff?

Yes -- he wrote both the music and lyrics to "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," his first US hit (1964).

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

Did Cocker write any of his own stuff?

Did Elvis?

 

[Crushgroove]

Did Cocker write any of his own stuff?

Exactly. Not only did he not write his own stuff, his best songs were covers. He couldn't even find a songwriter to write a song FOR him to make his (ie Elvis).

Next argument.

 

[Kooky Kats]

The RnR HOF should have about 15 total bands/artists. The rest suck.

TMFS.

Joe Cocker influenced nobody. There wasn't a rash of post-Cocker, epilepsy, screaming cover bands. Eff him.

 

[Glenn's Take]

He should be more beautiful.

 

[funKYcat75]

He should be more beautiful.

Well, he's dead, Glen. That's disrespectful.

 

[Tskware]

He doesn't deserve to be in the Rock HOF, for two or three (arguably) great songs, but then again, neither do the Mamas and the Papas (about 2 or 3 memorable songs) and a bunch of others, so I do agree the HOF has become a joke.

 

[UKGrad93]

Cry me a river.

 

[MegaBlue05]

Did Cocker write any of his own stuff?

Not much.

And all of his hits were covers or written by others.

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

He should be more beautiful.

Shallow take, Glennnnnnn

 

[JDHoss]

We saw Dave Mason last Friday night, and he said that George Harrison gave him a sitar and that he was messing around with it and came up with Feelin' Alright?, which Cocker turned into a hit.

RNHF got one right it seems

 

[Nuke99m.]

Slayer, Moterhead and Iron Maiden aren't in. Jethro Tull, The Cars and Ted Nugent aren't in. Bad Company and ELP aren't in.

Just sayin.

 

[MegaBlue05]

Slayer, Moterhead and Iron Maiden aren't in. Jethro Tull, The Cars and Ted Nugent aren't in. Bad Company and ELP aren't in.

Just sayin.

But LL Cool J, Madonna and Donna Summer are.

Makes sense, huh.

 

[argubs2]

I don't really care about the HOF, but you best believe Mad Dogs and Englishmen is pure :fire:.

He went in, always....at least before the liquor struck down his voice. Love his ****.
