No Kiss? No Rush? (The Canadian legends; not Limbaugh) This is a farce!
UGH! I hate the RRHOF!
LEONARD COHEN!!! YAY!!! A genius. A pure genius.
John Mellencamp /hurl
Ping for my pop culture pals...
Yawn.
The Ventures aren’t already in? They almost invented surf music.
Silvie:
Malzberg moving to 4 to 6 PM est M-F starting MONDAY!
Yipeee!
* Cue "Brass Monkey" *
Until Genesis is in, it’s all pointless...
THANK GOODNESS! Still on WOR? He’s against Hannity!
BAAAHHHHHHHHHHH RnR HOF :(
Bestie Boys? But not Chicago?
Gee, maybe when they’ve been touring for NINE HUNDRED years and had a KAJILLION platinum albums....
Brass Monkey, that funky monkey...
Me & the crew were singin’ Brass Monkey...
‘Cuz Brooklyn is where I dwell...
NOt worried!
Given the great names of the past that haven’t been inducted, this group is simply inexcusable.
The R&R H0F is simply a marketing tool to sell CDs, and to sell CDs from only one company.
Those not in:
Buddy Holly’s Crickets, Neil Young’s Crazy Horse, Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention, Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band or Bob Marley’s Wailers.
Also —
Cher
The Monkeys
Grand Funk Railroad
Todd Rundgren
Alice Cooper
T Rex
Sweet
Genesis
Yes
Kiss
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
Moody Blues
Neil Sedeka
Carly Simon
Actually, the list of who’s out is more impressive than who’s in. Why are this year’s acts getting in, why any number of huge acts (either influential or huge sellers) don’t even get nominated?

With that line up I’m expecting Al Gore and Jimmuh Carter to get a nod from TRRHOF.
As a rock jock here recently said of this...they should just rename it The Music Hall of Fame.
Agreed, Cohen is a master lyricist!
I’m a Dave Clark Five girl.
