[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 388744, member: 40536"] The RR HOF has been trending downward for some time, with inductees who are not Rock and/or lesser artists, with some great performers being overlooked This year: Mary J. Blige, - not RR Mariah Carey not RR, no matter how many top songs. Cher not RR, but more credentials than some of these acts Dave Matthews Band OK band, not great Eric B. & Rakim, - WHO? Foreigner - should have been in long ago Peter Frampton - Yes, definitely Jane’s Addiction, OK band, not great Kool & the Gang - disco is not RR Lenny Kravitz - maybe, but I never liked their version of "American Woman" Oasis - maybe, a near miss IMHO Sinéad O’Connor- Joking right? , Ozzy Osbourne, - definitely Sade - not RR, not many memorable songs A Tribe Called Quest- not RR Granted, some of these are my personal opinion, but the bar should be relatively high, and disco, rap, hip-hop and mainstream easy listening are not RR People can like these acts but they are not Rock artists By this standard, Barbara Streisand, Barry Manilow, Michael Bolton should be in Is that the RR HOF that people want?
