The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced their class of 2015, reports the NY Daily News. This year's inductees are: Lou Reed, Green Day, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Joan Jett, and Bill Withers. Green Day made it into the lineup in their first year of eligibility.
The list of those snubbed in 2014 include: Kraftwerk, The Marvelettes, N.W.A., Nine Inch Nails, The Smiths, The Spinners, Sting, War, and Chic.
Kraftwerk, NWA, The Smiths and NIN are all much better and more influential than Green Day....
ReplyDeleteRIGHT?
DeleteThank you!!!!!!!
DeleteAgree!
Delete+1 (and for the record I don't hate Green Day-but I LOVE NIN and the Smiths.)
DeleteLove everyone but Green Day. I always - ALWAYS - change the station or skip when they come on. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteOT omgomgomg Teresa's house got raided yesterday!!!! Omgomgomg Teresa's house got raided yesterday!!!
ReplyDeleteI think of her as a Perfumed Chimp.
DeleteHoly crap! They found stuff reported stolen and reimbursed by insurance among her stuff. They thought they had problems before! Insurance companies take a dim view of that kind of stuff.
Deleteshe could always make some money at Ripleys Believe it or Not with that forehead....
DeleteIt's tough to sympathize with any insurance company that didn't realize they were dealing with a nest of thieves.
DeleteIf she waits for her hairline to meet her eyebrows, she could be Wolf Woman of The Big House. A 50s B movie.
DeleteThey seized all the girls Xmas presents which totaled $11,000!!!!!!!
DeleteDon't they have friends to hide stuff for them in their homes?
For real - they're so damned arrogant that they actually believe everyone else is too stupid to catch on. That tends to piss off authorities after a while.
DeleteOMG..They found money hidden in a trap door..Now if that's NOT hiding assets I don't know what it. I guess that was their answer to using friends and families homes to hiding stuff. They really believe they can't get caught. Hah! Merry Freakin' Christmas kids.
DeleteI feel bad for the girls who lost their Xmas presents but $11k in Christmas gifts? What did they buy? A robot pony?
DeleteI also think the officer who had to stay with the Shrieking Shrew in the kitchen should get hazard pay.
I feel a bad for the kids (somewhat $11k in gifts? Fuck off, some people with full time jobs get less than that in a year to feed, clothe, house and educate their kids)
DeleteBut Jesus that was delicious. Can't wait to see how those "prostitution HOAHS" in prison react her ladyship.
Ain't no sunshine
ReplyDeleteLove that song!
DeleteGreen Day with Joan Jett, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Lou Reed & Bill Withers?!
ReplyDeleteI'm insulted for everyone who is not Green Day on that list and all other R&RHOFers. That really diminishes the value of induction.
Wake me up when someone better gets in.
ReplyDeleteI went there for the Summer of Love expo a few years back, touched Janis's dress & her car - I'm good for the rest of my life now.
DeleteThe snubbed list always hurts. But wgaf because look how long it took Led Zeppelin to get in. Their whole career has said fuck awards, all that matters is the fans love. And that confidence is why they are so legendary.
ReplyDeleteThe Rock Hall is a really lame excuse for a Hall of Fame. I like Bill Withers but how in God's name is he in the Rock Hall? He's no more rock and roll than my grandmother! It's a load of crap.
ReplyDeleteDon't hate me but I like American Idiot. Sorry, but I think the live tour video is pretty fucking good. Then again NIN & others should have been inducted before them. It's all political bullshit anyway just like all of the awards shows. I don't take it that seriously.
ReplyDeleteAs for Theresa the dog faced woman, didn't she and Joe figure somebody was gonna get a clue after she dropped all that dough on her daughter's stupid music video? They scream about how broke they are but they keep on spending $$ like nothing's wrong. Hello! Those are cameras in your house and car. We can see you living large, like nothing has changed. Somebody call the COPS!!! Stupid fucking idiots.
I totally agree. I love Green Day (don't care!), but Lou Reed and Joan Jett should've been in there long ago and others waiting longer gotten their chance sooner.
DeleteMust have forgotten to hit post but I like Green Day. And honestly, no one is ever happy with the inductees or those left out. Music is such a matter of personal taste.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge, huge Joan fan. I'd love to ask her if she ever did talk to Duane the wild man.
ReplyDeleteIts a pretty day you can snub Sting!!
ReplyDeleteWhy did it take KISS and Alice Cooper so long to get in but Green Shit gets in as soon as they are eligible? Probably because they are faux commies which Rolling Stone loves.
ReplyDeleteWell KISS just sucks, so I can see why they took so long. Marketing does not wow the voters it would seem.
DeleteI thought one of the reasons it took KISS so long was because the egos in the band were so huge they were always arguing. Gene and Paul try to act like Ace and Peter shouldn't be inducted because they weren't in KISS anymore. That's why they didn't perform when they were inducted because of the fucking egos on those two (Paul and Gene).
ReplyDeleteShit Alice Cooper, The Stooges, The NY Dolls, Lou Reed, Brian Eno etc all should have been in from the get go but it never happens that way IRL. Just like bad movies/actors winning Oscars when actors like Leo never have. It's politics that's all. Politics and a popularity contest. Just like highschool.
MinPin, if it wasn't for my Wendy (Yes folks! I actually found someone!) I'd ask you to marry me lol
DeleteRock in Roll Hall of Shame is a joke! They've got everything under the sun in there, but rock. Vadge? Seriously? Yet they can't make room for Toto?
DeletePaul and Gene own KISS and everyone else is an employee. It's been that way FOREVER. They own the Catman and the other one I can't remember Ace's character's name. Peter and Ace CANNOT use that make-up, since they are trademarked by Gene and Paul.
DeleteRR - Thanks for the compliment.
DeleteHenriette- regardless of who owns the trademark on KISS likeness or music, it would be an absolute joke to think you would induct KISS and not include Ace and Peter.
Would you induct The Rolling Stones but leave out Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, Ron Wood (and Mick Taylor) because their names aren't on the lyrics?
You couldn't get away with inducting Van Halen and forget David Lee Roth.
KISS never would have been the band they became without all 4 members, period. KISS's glory days are WAAAAY behind them anyway and it was just so ridiculous for those 2 to behave in such an shitty way to founding band members. The fans certainly don't consider Ace and Peter nothing but employees either.
P.S. In my book Paul DiAnno is still the best lead singer for Iron Maiden too.
