Let's talk about music

Dave Grohl will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame..... as a member of Nirvana.

Full list of this year's inductees:

Peter Gabriel

Hall & Oates

Kiss

Nirvana

Linda Ronstadt

Cat Stevens

Kiss is up there with the worst rock and roll bands of all time. Take away the costume schtick and there's nothing.

John Lydon called the rnr hall of fame a joke years ago.

All deserving in my opinion. Atleast rap didnt make it in.

John Lydon called the rnr hall of fame a joke years ago.

His quote about the biggest room in the R/R HOF being the souvenir shop isn't exactly a lie.

Wonder how Kurt would feel knowing that he's going in with the biggest corporate sellouts in the history of music.

Why bash Linda R JSC?

Nirvana in the R&R hall of fame is a joke.

I mean I know the Hall in general is a joke, but awful. What an overrated, awful band.

Seems personal.

Seems personal.

I just hate Nirvana. I dislike Pearl Jam strongly, but I can at least admit they are talented musicians. Nirvana outside of Grohl.. not so much.

Rock and Roll and talent and RNR museum have nothing to do with each other. Otherwise, it would be full of progressive rock bands which gets shut out year after year.

Never been a big Nirvana fan myself, but disliking them for their lack of musicianship seems beside the point.

^^ are just one hit wonders. I was referring to Yes. Genesis is in but that is from their top 40 Phil Collins days.

Interesting article on the movement to get Yes in led by Rick Santorum's campaign manager:

Failed yet again this year.

As for Nirvana, while they weren't necessarily original, changed the whole landscape of Rock N' Roll and are very deserving of getting in.

Are you also agitating for ELP to be inducted?

I was just about to prepare an anti-ELP rant...

Agitate, no, but as one of the biggest draws of the '70's I'm not sure why they are not in.

I just noticed that the Sex Pistols are in....by most, they qualify as talentless.

Does someone want to argue that they don't belong in such a venue?

[FreeCandy44]

No love for Hall & Oates?

I do like this Daryl Hall album:

They aren't exactly my up of tea either, but I'd argue they in the grand scheme of things were much more important to music than Nirvana ever was. I have a blind hatred for Nirvana I admit it. I think they sucked(besides Grohl), and their impact on music other than causing other **** sound alike bands like them was next to nothing.

[FreeCandy44]

Skullman....he doesnt like him some Nirvana.

Columbia....those are great great great Nirvana songs. I also loved the guitar sound and the passion of Kurts voice on Bleach. Bleach and Incesticide are always on rotation in my car.
