6. The New York Dolls

[Dystopian]

7. Jethro Tull

I was shocked...
Did I do the search correctly?
Mind blowing not to see them....


peace~

[Robeson]

12. No, you're not wrong. But Tull pissed off the accepted rock "critics"...

...a long time ago, so they are paying the price.

[Steely_Dan]

40. That's Just Hard To Believe...

Aqualung, Thick As A Brick, Passion Play, War Child, Songs From The Wood, etc. etc. Tull was (is) an amazing band...truly original.

[mcollins]

8. that's just wrong.

too many good groups aren't in the hall of fame.

[SoxFan]

17. It's a long list

X, The Cure, Motorhead, New York Dolls, The Cure, New Order, Iron Maiden, Steve Earle, The Pogues, Rush...

[mcollins]

24. so true. So many groups don't get their

recognition they deserve. Can I ask you a question? What does that button on your signature mean? Is those colors the Irish flag?

(oops, two questions)

[SoxFan]

32. 26+6=1

26: The 26 counties in the Republic of Ireland

6: The 6 northern counties under British rule

1: One united Ireland

[mcollins]

34. I thought it was Irish,

but I didn't grasp the significance of the numbers. Thank you for your answer.

[Taverner]

9. Dude its KISS!!!!!

Just kidding

KISS just marketed better than the glams in the UK

[Tikki]

10. That would be X....

[gmoney]

20. Am I just getting really old, or do they look like 14 years old in that shot?

Punks indeed!

[av8rdave]

11. And no Rush

Now THAT'S a travesty!

Same with the Tull.

[Captain Hilts]

13. Agree. Great songs. Great voices. I wish they'd do an 'unplugged' version of their music. nt

[Capn Sunshine]

14. Really???

That's mind-blowing

[Forkboy]

15. ....

Breathe deep the gathering gloom, Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament, Another day's useless energy spent.

never heard of 'em...

[johnnie]

16. And no Monkees

[Amerigo Vespucci]

18. They need to keep space open for Winger, Poison and Hanson

Sorry, Moody Blues.

'Cause we love you,
Yes, we love you,
Oh, how, we love you.

But NO SOUP FOR YOU.



:rofl:

[SoxFan]

30. No love for the Jonas Brothers?

:toast:

[Frank Cannon]

19. ELO, or at least Jeff Lynne, FFS

Guy's crafted a hit tune or two in his time.

[hippywife]

22. Love Jeff Lynne!

And have for years! He's been so involved behind the scenes for so many, for so long, too.

:hi:

[hippywife]

21. Yeah, but Abba is.

Go figure. :eyes:

[Ohio Joe]

23. There is a reason they are not in yet

There has not been a single... even decent band since the early 80's and the HOF needs to string along the inductee's until one decides to come along :D

[Initech]

25. Iron Maiden should be in there.

[SoxFan]

29. Agree

Not a big fan, but they are the foremost metal act of the 1980s. I'd vote in Motorhead as well, since they influenced both metal and punk.

[Initech]

31. The fact that they still sell out crowds now is amazing.

I've been to sold-out Maiden shows before that are just fucking crazy. The Flight 666 DVD was a total eye-opener too, seeing Maiden fans in third world countries was a trip!

[Sebastian Doyle]

36. When Hell freezes over

I'd vote em in, of course. But the "establishment" ain't in a big hurry to acknowledge a band whose first big hit in the US was a song about the Antichrist. :evilgrin:

[SoxFan]

37. Good point

Same holds true for a band named after Nazi prison camp prostitutes fronted by a suicidal epileptic, apparently.

[Sebastian Doyle]

38. I doubt Jann Wenner ever heard of them.

New Order, maybe. But not Joy Division.

[Initech]

39. 666!!! The number of the beast!!!

[Sebastian Doyle]

26. Moody Blues were excluded because of that godawful cheesy crap they made in the 80's.

Granted, a lot of bands made godawful cheesy crap in the 80's, but the Moody Blues knew better.

I had successfully blocked that shit out of my mind until Mike Malloy started using one of those damned annoying 80's Moody Cheese songs to lead off the second hour of his show. (He still uses a classic 60's Moody's song for the third hour)

[SoxFan]

33. ABBA only made godawful cheese

Billy Joel? Elton John?

And Genesis has a pretty shaky track record, post Peter Gabriel.

[Sebastian Doyle]

35. Damned if I know?

Never was an ABBA fan, never will be. Don't hate them, just complete indifference. I could probably count the number of Billy Joel songs I can stand on one hand, and Elton John's early stuff was great, but he went downhill around the time that UNI records (his original US label) went out of business.

As for the Phil Collins-led version of Genesis, they had their ups and downs. At least you could tell the difference between a Genesis album and a Phil solo album up until about 1986 or so. After that it was all the same shit. Collins solo/Genesis/Mike & the Mechanics.... why bother making three different albums when the same shit is on all three?

[DBoon]

27. Link Wray and the Raymen

50's predecessor to metal and punk, practically invented the distorted power chord

RIP

[miscsoc]

41. Isn't he in there?

I thought he was

[DBoon]

43. He's in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame

But not the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

28. Cheap Trick, Kiss

[PoliticalOne65]

42. How about Deep Purple
