Today, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced that 15-time Grammy winner Eminem and 11-time Grammy recipient Dolly Parton will join the class of 2022. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is generally made of Americans and Brits. I feel like the rock press dove head over heels for him from the beginning.

Its often worth remembering that a lot of the best early rock and pop performers were not singer-songwriters and didnt write their own material. Rush I know they were in television, but they became a real band soon after. Not a chance.

But no, those songs are dark as fuck. Janes Addiction isnt in. Thats true, BTO was great.

I appreciate your comments; I happen to be a classically trained violist myself, so from that experience springs my own fondness for classical music as well as professional musicianship. For the moment I am focusing on writing about this years nominees, but after that is done I plan on writing about other acts as time and energy permit :p. Bernie Taupin as a songwriter, though, seems like a pretty obvious choice. She is definitely a rock icon and I cant understand why she hasnt yet been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame? By Merle Ginsberg. Enthusiastically so. As always, I appreciate your feedback, as long as its not trolling. Her resume is solid and I will address her case when I get back into looking at the 1980s, as she is one of the many deserving cases from that decade, along with Whitney Houston (to give but one example). Billy Preston Pet Shop Boys I agree on the Turtles. Janets resume` is solid and she at least deserves a nomination. They wear funny hats, but theyre not fucking around. I definitely liked your blog about Gerry Rafferty, who in my opinion is one of the greatest singer/songwriters to ever grace this planet but I am disappointed that another man that I think is every bit as talented and accomplished as Gerry hasnt even been mentioned, and that would be Dan Fogelberg.

In recent years, Stevie Nicks and Tina Turner became the first women to be inducted into the Hall two times Diana Ross, whos in the Hall with the Supremes but not as a solo artist, is the best bet to become the next female double inductee. Certainly a very worthy selection. Now you can understand the speed bumps being faced by Bonds and What about the great southern rock bands? Here are the biggest snubs and surprises of the list.

Today is the 75th birthday of Ian Anderson, the leader/flutists of Jethro Tull, a band with 11 gold- and 5 platinum-selling albums that has not been inducted in the Rock. Kraftwerk What I guess Im saying is I voted for them because there was nobody else I could see voting for. That said, there are plenty of singers/bands in the R&R HOF who did not write their own lyrics, especially for their most significant songs, including (ironically) the Patti Smith Group, whose biggest hit was written by Bruce Springsteen. Duran Duran just strikes me as a significant case of a band thats there not because they were the best at what they did but because they were the most popular of what they did. But Dionnes work is infinitely more important than Carlys work because she was the master interpreter of the Burt Bacharach and Hal David catalog. When Lionel went to pop, he went all the way to pop. Ive never heard anything have hostility against them, and they managed to make great music in a variety of genres over the span of several decades. 1. Theres a thumbnails difference between him and Dionne Warwick. Then theres his political message and the importance of that the oppression he fought against in Nigeria, to the point where the military blew his house up and killed his mom. Add to that list, Paul Revere And The Raiders, The Zombies, Golden Earring. I just dont hear it. Those first couple of albums have really good songs. The one band that everyone seems to agree on as one of the biggest snubs ever is the Moody Blues, and one wonders if someone associated with the RRHOF has some sort of vendetta against them. Ill add her to the list of acts to write about :). Ill have to do some research on Golden Earring (as I am not familiar with them), but Paul Revere and the Raiders and The Zombies are both on my own lengthy list as well. Great records. Madonnas already in, yet Janet hasnt even received a nomination. With a relatively young slate of nominees, most of the artists up for the Hall in 2022 are still among the living, with the exception of Fela Kuti, A Tribe Called Quests Phife Dawg, and most of the original members of New York Dolls, whose guitarist Sylvain Sylvain died shortly before their previous 2021 nomination. Duran Duran and Rio? They dont pander. Soundgarden Same with Ted Nugent. In terms of what the Hall voters can wrap their brains around, I think theres better places to put that vote this year. Sometimes those awards have been awarded to people who were also major artists nominated for the Hall proper, sometimes becoming a sort of problematic consolation prize for oft-nominated acts. Youre an idiot. One of the great things about rock and roll as a construct is that its a really porous art form that absorbs the best of a lot of other art forms. Far greater success and musical contributions than 90% of your list. Their first three or four albums are amazing. Entries 153 & 169 both state Foo Fighters. Hehas won a Grammy, 3 AMAs in a row (1978-80) as favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist, Manilow won an Emmy in 1977 and again 2006. Uriah Heep say people have been "making rumbles" about them being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. CLEVELAND, Ohio Everyone has a snubs list. 8. They could also go through a bunch of backing musicians from Johnny B. Goode on up to rectify that notable shortfall as well. In fact, one could make a very good Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame out of the snubs for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. But without Kate Bush, theres no Tori Amos, and without Tori Amos, theres no Grimes or Joanna Newsom. This guy Neal Morse is so overlooked. I would tend to think that daring behavior is generally what ought to give someone rock & roll credibility, not take it away, but thats another conversation, I suppose. Both men are pure poets who have the ability to put perfect musical notes behind their prose and sing it with such feeling and clarity. Im not at that level with Judas Priest. Super-irony-poisoned and gross. What other bands do you think should be on this list? Voter 1: I voted for Devo. You must listen to the music of Golden Earring. My second addition to your list would be The Go-Gos. So I started to think about which groups or artists from the 1980s would I put in which have not already been written about or requested. 2022s nominees may be one of the most varied slates in Rock Hall history, representing a cross-section of different genres, sounds, and time periods. They did release a new album at the end of May for their 50th anniversary. Terms of Service apply. Its a commendable impulse to try to be more inclusive, and thats reflected in my ballot voting every year. CLASSIC- Among the best albums ever 9.
