The Rock Hall is continually behind in inductions and the times. As of now thousands of bands and fan favorites, still being played on the radio are not inducted. Its time us, the fans that support them, sign this petition to get these bands inducted.
“We the People of the Rock and Roll Capitol of the World and the fans of Rock all over the world hereby decree…
We want The Bands in our Rock Hall Immediately”
wtf. Tull is better than anything today.
You mo’ fo’s that voted for hendrix should include the tull.
for cryin out loud….if the RR HOF dorks don’t think Motley Crue should be in then they are really ignorant to what the Crue has accomplished from 1980-present day
Again… no Jethro Tull, what the hell is going on here!!! Gimme a break.
You guys are the biggest joke and a disgrace to the music industry. Again a big screw you to iconic bands like Deep Purple and Yes. Get your heads out of your asses.
Linda Ronstadt is a major slight. Obviously many bands: Scorpions is an abomination of epic proportions. I rate the scorpions top 5 or top 10. Others I like: Judas Priest(Metal Gods), Deep Purple, Chicago, Journey, and Def Lepard. Many good artists have been overlooked. Certain pop acts should not be in and rap acts but as Abba fan there induction was warranted.
JOURNEY, (WITH STEVE PERRY), should have been inducted MANY YEARS AGO!!! Thank You!!!
Why has she not. been inducted yet?
She deserves to be inducted now!
I dont even see Lou Reed on the list. Yes, Velvet Underground is in but Lou’s solo career spanned decades and was a huge influence on many artists today.
I’d sign only if the most deserving band was on the list and they are not. Let’s get JETHRO TULL inducted !!!! Even if Ian doesn’t care.
Finally, someone else who thinks Jethro Tull should be in the hall! Thick as a Brick is a masterpiece and that’s just a tip of their creative iceberg. Ian Anderson is a composer on the level of the all time greats, I’m talking Mozart, Beethoven, Bach … wake up R&R Hall people. KISS makes it before Tull give me a break!
I have been wanting to see Tull in there for so very long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Los Lobos. I mean, really.
The E Street Band, best band ever, greatest live show!! Come on people you induct Bruce without his band…REALLY why?
Yea I’ve been wondering for years if its possible to establish our own hall of fame I wouldn’t want to be in the same museum or what ever as people that are not rock or are there with little or no talent
I have been listening to Def Leppard since I was a teenager, I’m in my 40’s now, and I really believe they deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! They have been thru so much tragedy, and they stayed together,and their music is amazing, PLEASE listen To the fans!!
Listening to Def Leppard since I was 8, now I’m 40 with a 21,18,16yr old kids who know more about Def Leppard than they do homework. This band has saved my life a few times and I know there’s many more who agree with me. I’ve even met them,unfortunately not Steve. They’re apart of my life and always will be.Who couldn’t look at Rick Allen and be inspired? So much tragedy for them, for them just trying to give others a good time and bring joy to others which they do. Please please please put them and these other bands into the Hall of Fame, they deserve it, if u don’t think so then get ur butts off ur chairs go outside and ask the fans. The REAL people who’s opinions count.
This irks me! So many of the bands listed in the “40”, plus many more, deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. Axl Rose brought up a good question… “what is it”? Well, we know what it is, but if it’s to remain “what it is” and have any legitimacy, they need to not snub at bands & artists that are BEYOND deserving. What are the rules to be considered, nominated, inducted? Rock N Roll & 25 years? Apparently there are more rules & guidelines we don’t know about. The committee is becoming a clique. A league of their own deciding “who is” and “who isn’t”. You may not like a particular band that is deserving, but you have to respect their contributions and impact. KISS, for example. The HOF’s “higher-ups” said they’re nothing more than a comic book band with the same 3 chord riffs. Well that’s not true. Also, the early 50’s/60’s doo-wop era was around 3-4 riffs. No one can deny the impact KISS has made on several generations. Their fans are die-hard and for good reason. Name me one band that is like KISS. Name one band that is like The Beatles (not comparing KISS to The Beatles). Kiss distinguished themselves and did something different, that hadn’t been done before and sounding like no one else.
The HOF leader says they aren’t turning the HOF into American Idol. Ok, I can accept that. But why just completely disregard public opinion entirely? Who do bands and artists make music for? Themselves and us, the fans. No one else. There was a time, unlike today, where making music was about the music and not the $$. The music and the tours were for the fans… it had an impact on the fans. KISS, just one of many bands/artists, have dedicated themselves to their fans. It’s not about how many hits, or how many records. It’s about the contribution and the impact and the fact that these bands are still around. That’s saying something. That, in my book, makes them eligible to be nominees. But to make it their personal mission not to induct KISS, ignore the tens of thousands of emails, letters and outcries for them to have their day with the HOF is wrong.
Devo, Weird “Al” and the Monkees should be in there for sure! Not sure why the leaders in there generes have not made it. RNRHF, get over yourself and let the influential bands in!
Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Motorhead!!!!
Gene Simmons birthday is in 9 days, too bad he can’t celebrate it by having KISS inducted into the hall of fame or since they aren’t in it yet maybe it should be changed to the hall of shame. ABBA made it before KISS, give me a break … how many songs does ABBA have that the normal person recognizes … two?
YES….YES…..YES
Their music is so wonderful and has meant so much to so many people. In a word…it’s time!
Absolutely YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
