_Jayson_ Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 If you are a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan, you might want to check this out. I never realized they weren't in the Rock and Roll hall of fame, but they deserve it.
MindCrime Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 It's pretty astounding they haven't made it in yet, I can't believe ZZ Top got in before they did. I'm also surprised to see the O'Jays, Percy Sledge & Conway Twitty (even though he belongs in the Country Hall) haven't made it in yet. Did Black Sabbath ever get accepted? I know they were nominated a few years back.
_Jayson_ Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Posted October 12, 2004 Here is a list about it, and Black Sabbath does seem to be missing. Who decides who gets in anyway?
_jr_ Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 The name should be "The Music Hall of Fame"
MindCrime Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 Who decides who gets in anyway? Obviously people who don't know much about R&R, I know it's a standard of 25 years subsequential to the debut release. Looking at that site though, it's a respectable list, & they got the greats like Jimi & Floyd in at about the reasonable amount of time. ::
miamisammy29 Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 MUSICAL INTERLUDE: "Life is so strange when it?s changin?, yes indeed Well I?ve seen the hard times and the pressure?s been on me But I keep on workin? like the workin? man do And I?ve got my act together, gonna walk all over you Gimme back my bullets Put ?em back where they belong Ain?t foolin? around ?cause I done had my fun Ain?t gonna see no more damage done Gimme back my bullets Sweet talkin? people done ran me out of town And I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around But I?m leavin? this game one step ahead of you And you will not hear me cry ?cause I do not sing the blues Gimme back my bullets Put ?em back where they belong Ain?t foolin? around ?cause I done had my fun Ain?t gonna see no more damage done Gimme back, gimme back my bullets Oh, put ?em back where they belong"

Jugband_Blues Posted October 13, 2004 Report Posted October 13, 2004 I'm not sure when skynyrds first album came out, but im pretty sure that the rule for the hall is that you cant be inducted until 25 years after your first recording or album. but now that would be '79, so i have no clue why skynyrd isnt in yet.
Carl Posted October 14, 2004 Report Posted October 14, 2004 As much as I love J. Geils, here are the ones I would pick from the list: Skynyrd U2 The Stooges (because half of all musicians list Iggy Pop as an influence) Gram Parsons (because the other half lists him) The Pretenders Please don't let the Sex Pistols in. Please.
windy1 Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Carl I like your list. I would put J Geils in though and take Stooges out. Favorite by J Geils: First I look At The Purse.
