It's about time Rush was nominated. Saw Donna Summer was on the list too. Nothing says rock and roll like Donna Summer, right?

Re: Rush finally gits nominated for the R&R Hall Of Fame

If I were Rush, I'd say screw 'em. The RRHoF is joke, just like Jann's rag of a magazine.
/rant over

Have a great day all!!

Nice to see Albert King and Paul Butterfield's names on the list. Interesting as well that the Induction Ceremony is being held @ The Nokia Theater in LA this time around instead of NYC.

Re: Rush finally gits nominated for the R&R Hall Of Fame

yeah this has been a long time coming, and I wouldn't blame them if they dissed the whole thing. Also glad to see Butterfield, and Procul Harum on the list. At least Robin Trower could get in this way, is he not already in as a solo artist? I honestly don't know.

Re: Rush finally gits nominated for the R&R Hall Of Fame

What's the criteria to get a nomination?.....someone mentioned SRV not being in the RRHOF, so I'm just asking

As a sometime Rush fan, can I just say "Am I bovvered?"

Makes no difference to me if Rush are in, makes no difference to Rush if they're in.

Re: Rush finally gits nominated for the R&R Hall Of Fame

Good news - we Rush fans here can now say..... about bloody time! smile

Wow, great to actually see some Rock getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Anyone who doesn't vote these 3 in should be banned from Rock and Roll.

Re: Rush finally gits nominated for the R&R Hall Of Fame

Uh, guys, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Deep Purple did NOT get in.

So glad Rush finally made it, though. The universe swung back a little into proper alignment today.

Albert King too!  Albert was Mr. Cool.  And he called Gary Moore's guitar "hotter than pepper pudding".  Well said sir.

Re: Rush finally gits nominated for the R&R Hall Of Fame

as an alltime Rush fan I agree totally. I wish they would not even show up for the award, but they are much too nice to do that and know their fans want to see them accept it. very good to see Albert get in as well, what took so long on him too?

Re: Rush finally gits nominated for the R&R Hall Of Fame

In a lot of ways the HOF is a big crock of crap, but regardless of anyone's opinion of who they pick, how they vote, etc, it is still an honor regardless.  Rush has been deserving for a while, as has Kiss (not my favorite band, but have made a significant contribution to R&R nonetheless). I find it interesting that in the past couple of years a lot of stink has been made by the fact that they weren't nominated, that maybe the nominators are listening to the public now. 

And btw, I am biased because Rush is my all time favorite group.

Re: Rush finally gits nominated for the R&R Hall Of Fame

you are right on both John, it is a huge crock and yet it is an honor no matter how long it took. it's funny, son and I have a goodly amount of Kiss CDs, but I hated them growing up. Not so much any more. I tend to waffle on "all time favorite", based on what have you done for me lately. Clockwork Angels vaulted them back into my #1 spot, great CD imo.

It's a joke.......Who Cares?

Re: Rush finally gits nominated for the R&R Hall Of Fame

let's go another round for this year. I agree it's total BS but still worth some discussion. First nomination ever for Linda Ronstadt, she needs to be there. I'm wishy washy on Hall & Oates but OK whatever. Kiss and Deep Purple keep trying, they should already be there. Peter Gabriel is very deserving imo. I say NO to Nirvana in their first year nomination.
