It's just music, right?

The exploding boy · 12-17-2014, 01:23 AM

i mean its GD's first year as eligible too...whereas all thee others have been for over ten years. Some more like 20 by now.

Not in HOF: the Cure, Kraftwerk, MC5, the New York Dolls.

Never even nominated once: The Smiths, Sonic Youth, Joy Division, Roxy Music, the Pixies, Iron Maiden, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag.....the list goes on...

I feel like getting a spot in the HoF is actually an insult. I'd much rather be mentioned with the bands that didn't get in for the most part. It's almost a sign that you've become safe enough for the masses to accept you

VU is the exception though

But i mean the above mentoned band are all among the most influential bands of all time. No, not quite like the beatles or Zeppelin or even VU, but pretty fucking high on the list still

Well it is called the hall of fame

So, the Hall really does have a lot to do with mainstream success... Whether some purist fans like it or not.

It is what it is, it's not for everyone. But it's still a tremendous honor for a lot of artists.

those are all influential artists in their own rights, but most of em were kind of cult bands.

The exploding boy · 12-17-2014, 01:34 AM

Im thinking since the pistols turned down the award maybe they figure they shouldn't bother with Punk bands except if they're commercial. Biafra would likely turn it down. Rollins could go either way...

Elphenor · 12-17-2014, 01:35 AM

Rollins would accept it because he fucking sucks

fuzzyroes · 12-17-2014, 01:36 AM

Pistols were commercial and mainstream in a way that Biafra and Rolins aren't though.

fuzzyroes · 12-17-2014, 01:38 AM

Ramones are a respected punk band and they happily accepted the honor

Sonic Johnny · 12-17-2014, 01:40 AM

that was fucking awful

edit @ that song fuzz posted in the last page

Elphenor · 12-17-2014, 01:40 AM

They're not political or politically respected though

Elphenor · 12-17-2014, 01:43 AM

The Ramones are the most rocking piss take of all time

fuzzyroes · 12-17-2014, 01:44 AM

Yeah man, Ramones are excellent. Just fun music to listen to.

pavementtune · 12-17-2014, 02:05 AM

I'm not sure if Lou Reed would even accept it and show up if he were still around.

absolutely!

Elphenor · 12-17-2014, 02:21 AM

Old Lou Reed would but young Reed would ask them to swallow razor blades

pavementtune · 12-17-2014, 02:36 AM

yea probably. I'd like to think he wouldn't show up to be celebrated like this, not the way these fame hall things are now, but then again... I'm thinking of a young Lou Reed.

The exploding boy · 12-17-2014, 02:54 AM

well was he there when VU was inducted?

Elphenor · 12-17-2014, 02:59 AM

pavementtune · 12-17-2014, 03:03 AM

wasn't that the same year Corgan did the honors for Pinky Floyd?
I remember that year as a rather big deal, first VU concert in the US in 20 years or something like that.

Shallowed · 12-17-2014, 03:55 AM

Anyone who thinks RnRHoF has the authority to decide which artists are relevant is a mindless zombie drone

I can't be bothered looking it up but off the top of my head I'd guess that VU were 1993 and PF were 1996

Elphenor · 12-17-2014, 04:01 AM

I think VU was 96

Edit: Yeah Google says 96

Shallowed · 12-17-2014, 04:03 AM

Would someone who cares enough please Wikipedia this shit for the love of God

I love how Google just straight out answers your question sometimes. You don't even have to click a link.

Shallowed · 12-17-2014, 04:05 AM

Oh, they were both 1996, I didn't realise they inducted multiple bands each year

Shallowed · 12-17-2014, 04:06 AM

Oh yeah Nirvana were inducted earlier this year durr
