Batman Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Have you never been to Cleveland?! It does smell like sweat, weed, piss and vomit. It's the perfect place for the Hall of Fame. Haha, sweet. BF, are the Cure really not in the hall of fame? That's odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hey, I don't live there, I would never live in Cleveland...but the hall of fame does deserve to be there, rock and roll history man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Donovan Gram Parsons Linda Ronstadt Carly Simon Carole King-She's in with Gerry Goffin as a producer, but I think she should be in as a solo artist as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 No, in reverse. Criminy, Charlie's a fiddler. Fiddlers rock! But seriously, Das is right, Charlie Daniels Band is country with a rock influence, not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) Uhm,I think you mean a southern rock band with a little country thrown in. No. Actually, gotta go with blue here guys. I was there as well. When Charlie Daniels first came into prominence, it was as a Country/Southern Rock band. The subject matter of Long Haired Country Boy and Uneasy Rider support that. Those songs got no Country Radio airplay whatsoever. They were strictly Southern/Country Rock. As country opened it's arms and embraced more modern rock type sounds, Charlie Daniels became accepted there. As Charlie has gotten older, and maintained a solo career, he has drifted more into the Country arena, because that's where most of his fan base has drifted. However, The Charlie Daniels Band of 70's fame, was pure Southern Rock. Edited October 14, 2007 by Guest added a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_n_white Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Thank's for backing me up Lucky. In the hey-day of southern rock, The CDB was right there with Skynyrd,The Allman Brothers Band,The Marshall Tucker Band and others. As southern rock's popularity decreased in the music mainstream,many southern rock artist's and their music began to appear on country music stations as the country music industry opened opened up a bit. Charie Daniels was one of these.Others include the Van Zant brothers of Lynyrd Synyrd and .38 Special fame who have scored hits in recent years on the country charts with their group Van Zant. Thank's again Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I just want to add to this discussion about southern/rock and country/rock...The Eagles have fallen in their also, the new single is all over the country charts. As have some of their songs in the past. But once again The Eagles and the other artists mentioned above fit into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame more than most of the new nominees.

daslied Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hey, Rick James started in a band with Neil Young. So is he eligible now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Rick James...oh man what a nightmare!! I never liked one of his songs, none. And he was the worst artist of funk/disco/dance out there, terrible. And remember when he got hooked up with Teena Marie??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Bon Jovi has been on the country charts recently, as well... and Kelly Clarkson now has a hit duet on there with Reba McEntire. The lines are blurring quickly - pretty soon there will be no such thing as genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 You're right Shawna, genres will all blur together in the future, and as for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I think they should concentrate on rock music and then stop inducting. Let there be another place for disco, rap, hip-hop, pop and such. People will still vist the hall of fame, I mean it is so cool, so stop inducting artists that don't belong and leave it alone. These nominations have recieve quite a bit of talk not just on here but we talk about it at work quite often, wondering just what is going on with the board members.

Hard to believe they would have a country crossover hit but I think it's a sign of the times in popular music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Sorry but was just not someone I could get into...and I love funk but not Rick James. I was more into P-Funk, just something about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Well yeah, Rick James was no role model. I guess I was thinking in terms of just hearing the music. Without information about his personal bad behaviour or viewing his stage persona, the songs rock (and possibly, roll). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
