Time to start the new annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame bitch and moan thread. 8-)

The 2017 ballot will be announced tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM, but this great article list of 100 snubs made the thread worth starting now.
http://bestclassicbands.com/rock-hall-o ... -10-15-16/

It contains almost everyone on my annual bitch and moan list.........(which I'll post later when everyone throws out their list)

Firstly, I'm one of those who could give a rat's ass about the HoF. But for the sake of chatage, got to thinking if King Crimson went in, who would/should be on that stage:

Fripp
Michael Giles
Ian McDonald
Greg Lake
Pete Sinfield

Ian Wallace (RIP)
Mel Collins
Boz Burrell (RIP)

Bill Bruford
David Cross
John Wetton
Jamie Muir

Adrien Belew
Tony Levin

This pretty much represents their classic period, however the band is still classic to this day!

The real question is: Which potential inductee will manage to generate the most free publicity for the induction telecast?

There's a whole Facebook movement to induct the Monkees, and Nesmith has been doing his whole "will he or won't he ever play with Tork and Dolenz agin?" thing. That they, in fact, just released a top ten album wouldn't hurt. The clickbait potential is obvious.

In the meantime, I'm still wondering if Joan Baez ever did something to piss off Jann Wenner--you'd think her induction would have been a no-brainer long ago, but the last timme I checked, the HOF had mostly ignored the whole folk movement of the 50's and the 60's.

No offense to the Monkees, but I do not believe they belong in any RRHoF. But then, the hall is a joke anyway, so I guess let 'em in! Let in Milli Vannili too, damn their eyes.

Interesting article as to which band members get in, a lot of arguments there as always.

I'd vote for Yes, Steppenwolf, The Zombies, The Cars, and ELO only for Roy Wood's sake.

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/ ... es-w445147

i am. to say the least, disgusted. 1 band from my list.

tupac shakur has as much to do with rock and roll as jerry vale. and you know he will get in, probably as the number one vote getter.

fuck em.

Any band or musician who's sitting on my many shelves is in MY Hall of Fame. That's the only one that counts for me. (OK. Not Roger Waters. There always has to be one exception.)

Is this the first time J. Geils has been nominated? I think they definitely should be in and hopefully it will happen this year.
