Did anyone vote for Sting? You can PM me if you're too embarrassed to admit so in public.
Bite me
Sting is a Kennedy Center Honors recipient this year, so I didn't vote for this (cough) "Fame." Yes, my undying love for Sting is well-known, for which I am unapologetic.Originally Posted by onthewall2983

I did,I love the Police and I really loved the Ten Summoners Tales album, and an Englishman in NY is a great song.
Active Member
I love The Police too, but they're already in. And I do like a lot of his solo work, but what musical legacy does that alone leave behind?
Bite me
He's got that awesome lute record. Only Sting could get a record label to let him release a fucking lute record. (I listen to it while reading Shakespeare, LOL)

Some comments on the articles I have been reading keep wanting Deep Purple in. Do they really deserve it? I know next to nothing about them, only that they wrote an annoying beginner guitarist song.
Active Member
I really like Deep Purple In Rock - but Ian Gillan's vocal tour-de-force was an over-looked Black Sabbath album called Born Again - the songs Zero the Hero and Disturbing the Priest are brilliant and just ridiculously over-the-top (have sabbath made it in actually?). Tony Iommi had a story about the making of this song where they were staying in a little village in the UK and having endless noise complaints from the local vicar - so they wrote Disturbing the Priest

Maybe I'll check them out.
Sabbath got in '06 according to wiki. With a band that has gone through so many lineup changes over the years, do all the members get in, or just the classic lineup?
Bite me
"Smoke on the Water"
"Hush
"Woman From Tokyo"
"Highway Star"
Some of the best Classic Rock songs in the history of Rock n Roll, dude. They certainly deserve it more than fucking James Taylor. Or Donovan for fuck's sake.

I'll have to check them out before I say they don't deserve it I guess. Not much of a classic rock guy

This is exactly why I'm so fucking angry about this. How in the hell do you overlook Deep Purple in favor of fucking James Taylor for fuck's sake. Chicago isn't even in the Hall of Fame. That's a band that sold a lot of records and still puts asses in the seats! How do you omit fucking Chicago?

As many people can play and know the riff to "Smoke On The Water" than anybody knows the words to the "Happy Birthday" song or the Pledge of Allegiance.

That and In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

+1 for DP. Would've voted for them had they been on the ballot.

Weird, I remember Deep Purple's "Maybe I'm a Leo" playing over the PA before the Soundgarden/NIN show I went to in August.

Surprised no one's mentioned Lou Reed yet.
Member
Reed definitely deserves to be in the Hall for his solo work. Yet, if he goes in for his solo work. So should the following: Iggy Pop, Nico, Brian Eno, and John Cale regardless if they sold any records.
Dis-member
Loud Reed, yet.

if there is an induction performance by NIN ....In order to address the line up issues perhaps meathead could come out of retirement and create an "official discipline" like performance.
The lights dim, a screen drops and MAGIC.
Nothing says Rock and Roll Hall of Fame like Jeordie getting a blow job.

If you do not think NIN belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, then first of all what the f*ck are you doing on this board but trolling. If you grew up with NIN, from the beginning you know the influence TR had on the music scene. It started before TDS and I do not care who sold the most records or who outdrew who. It is all about the music. I was at Lollapalooza, were you? Did you see the impact? I did.
Does he want to be inducted I don't know and really I don't care. He is one of the most talented musicians of my generation and he deserves to be remembered for all his contributions to music.
There seems to be a lot of bitching and moaning about this group or musician being in or not in the hall. Get over it for the most part the 70's sucked, not all of it but a lot of it. Does The Cure and Depeche Mode deserve to be in the Hall absolutely, I certainly love their music and who knows what the future brings. If you don't know the impact of the Peppers, clearly you were not there. Faith No More was so much better with their original singer but no not Hall of Fame worthy.
As for Nirvana, being an 80's person, they killed the alternative scene and metal scene with one song. As much a I hate to admit, they changed the face of music forever. I am not so sure it was for the better but it is what it is and as much as I loathe them, there is no denying that the Unplugged album is phenomenal.
I can agree with one thing having Al induct NIN would be fitting and probalby one of the most memorable moments and the jam would be unbelievable. Here's hoping on day Ministry makes it in as well.

"Faith No More was so much better with their original singer" HUH? Chuck was good and all but Mike Pattons bowel movements have more talent in them than Chuck had in his entire body....Angel Dust and The Real Thing were groundbreaking albums. Chuck was a one trick pony. The fact you think he was better than Mike makes me think you ARE Chuck trolling this board
The Peppers had no impact on anything....They were an underground skatepunk band that had college radio airplay and some street cred (cameos in Thrashin/Less Than Zero), and just when they were starting to earn some indie cred, their guitar player flopped out from an OD, they brought in Johnboy and sold out to MTV and everything they have done post 1991 is right up there with U2 and Metallica as far as being a horror show....the greatest thing RHCP did was take Nirvana and Pearl Jam out on the road together when both bands were starting to break...which of course blew up in their face because those bands blew them off the fucking stage every night

So if he's not in the Hall of Fame, he won't be "remembered?"
He has Grammies and a fucking Oscar. And he's sold millions and millions of records.
He's said he doesn't even know where his Grammies are.
Are you certain he'd show up for a Hall of Fame performance? That Grammy performance kinda pissed him off. Those same suits are behind the HoF shindig.

Point taken, remember was the wrong word, honored for all his accomplishments would be a better way to say it. And like I said, I could care less if he wants it or not, even if he did, I am not sure he would publicly say it. Who knows if he would show or not as we have seen over the years he does change his mind. I was merely agreeing that he and Al jamming would be something to see. That's all.
I am not even sure why on a NIN board it is such a freaking debate as to whether he should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I guess it just isn't cool and he would be selling out and blah blah blah. That was so me in the Downward Spiral era. How dare he leave the clubs and go an arena? It was such a music snob point of view, I let that go along time ago. Ten years between records can do that to a fan.
Like it or not Trent Reznor aka NIN belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Yes, billpulsipher, you caught me, I am Chuck from Faith No More. I find nothing ground breaking about those 2 records. I guess it is all a matter of taste.
And I disagree, RCP broke ground in their own way and it had nothing to do with the movies.
Bite me
Like it or not, the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is a fucking lame Hard Rock Cafe Museum.
I watch the performance show to see who's drunk, though.

NIN is in the lead now. Not quite sure how I feel about that, but I have a good feeling it'll be neck and neck with SRV. I know that poll means little in the end, but I can assure you whoever wins it will be inducted.
