Re: Rush snubbed again

I guess we all have our favourites, but Deep Purple not being in seems the biggest ommission I've seen mention on this page... Ask Glen Hughes about Califormia Jam, they were the biggest band in the word at that point. Free's also a good shout!

Free were indeed a great shout. I saw them on five occasions and 5they truly rocked each venue. No one sat down from the first song to the last, and seeing Paul Kossoff had to be seen to be believed

Kiss have never even been nominated. Love 'em or hate 'em - they should be in there. This Hall of Fame has zero credibility IMO.

Re: Rush snubbed again

Congrats to Donovan and The Faces, very worthy imo. The rest, well....is what it is. At least they passed on Joan Jett, Heart, and The Cure. maybe next year will be Rush's chance, more like fat chance it ain't happening.

Re: Rush snubbed again

Unbelievable.  Their volume of work could have been more substancial, however there's no question the cult following they've deserved.  Probably Canada's greatest band.

With a career spanning 37 years, and with 19 studio albums, 8 live albums, 11 DVDs, 78 singles, and including more Platinum albums than ANY band in history other than The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Kiss, I'd say it was a pretty substantial volume of work.  Even more so when you consider that, apart from the very first album, that entire volume of work was produced by the same three band members.  And that is despite the personal tragedy that very nearly brought about the end of the band a few years ago.

And... they are one of the very few bands of that longevity who are STILL pushing the boundaries and continuously making new and exciting music, rather than playing the nostalgia tours.

wow, I missed that Rick, it's always best to read through the whole article. He was inducted for "early influence"?? kind of a backhanded pat on the back. Also inducted and very much worthy, a legendary recording engineer and producer:

Never heard of him before. Wow, impressive resume. Yeah, they were hidden in the fine print as they say. An afterthought maybe but well deserved for sure. So many worthies are passed over it's nice to see a legend make it.

Don't get me started on who's NOT there, but I am thrilled to see Tom Dowd, Joe's first producer, and Freddie King. Well earned recognition! Cathy

Can you please share why you think Donovan is worthy of the Hall of Fame, and you think Heart is not?

I can say 1 thing that makes Heart worthy and that is Ann Wilson alone.  She is one of Rock's best all-time female vocalist.  Her dynamics in her singing alone, should melt the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

"Holy Toledo"  -  Bill King   "Just Win Baby" - Al Davis  "The Autumn Wind" - Steve Sabol
