It’s actually called “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.” and none of that is rock and roll any more than William Shatner’s records.

Rush fans always have the biggest outcry for HOF nomination for this band. The HOF bums are notorious for passing them over, too. They had better induct Rush on the first shot.
For my part, I think it’s a disgrace that Deep Purple only gets nominated after Jon Lord’s death. They were the riff factory for just about every metal riff you heard in the 80s.

OK, to each his own, but I never liked Rush. I don’t see what it is that Rush offers. I just don’t feel it. Funny, on cable music channels, Rush is both on the (Current) Rock channel & the Retro Rock channels. Maybe the Classic Rock too. One thing, though, that we probably can agree on: the debate tonight gave me a Rush!

I’d like to see Devo on that list. What’s Kraftwerk doing on there?

Kraftwerk were the Godfathers of Techno, and all other electronic music....I remember when I first heard “Autobahn” in 1974, totally blew me away, unlike anything I ever heard before.

Rush! Finally! Perhaps the Hall is ready to start getting some credibility back.

There are two songs that stick out in my head from Kraftwerk, those being Ruckzuck (1970, used as the theme from Newtons Apple on PBS, illegally too) and Das Model (sounds 80s but came out in 78).
Ruckzuck was from their Krautrock phase . . . they got some amazing sounds out of a Hammond organ and a flute.

While Geddy Lee’s singing voice is not everyone’s cup of tea, one has to respect the incredible musicianship of Geddy, Alex, and Neil (sp?).

I am familiar with their early stuff, I liked them more when they still used acoustic instruments like the flute.
Das Model is a great song. And “Trans Europe Express” was one of the most sampled songs by the early Hip Hop artists.

Can’t stand the pre-Permanent Waves albums because of Geddy’s wailing on the earlier albums...but by the 80s he toned it down considerably.
