Let the annual flagellations begin:

http://rockhall.com/pressroom/announcem ... -nominees/

The nominees for 2012 are:

· Beastie Boys
· The Cure
· Donovan
· Eric B. & Rakim
· Guns 'N Roses
· Heart
· Joan Jett and The Blackhearts
· Freddie King
· Laura Nyro
· Red Hot Chili Peppers
· Rufus with Chaka Khan
· The Small Faces/The Faces
· The Spinners
· Donna Summer
· War

Extremely glad for the Small Faces and the Faces! :yay:
But lumping them together, 2 for the price of 1?
Extremely glad again for Laura Nyro and Donovan. :ohyes:
And while some of the above rockers are worthy, Deep Purple should be a higher priority, as should Yes, early Chicago, Moody Blues, etc.
I know absolutely nothing about Eric B. & Rakim...

I really hope this is an unprecedented year for women to enter the R&R Hall of Fame and that Heart, Joan Jett, Laura Nyro, and Rufus with Chaka Khan are all inducted! I love Donna Summer, but I think of all of them, she is (and will always be) a long-shot!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They better get in.....or the R&R HOF really has no credibility. Yes, they should be separate.

Hopefully Donovan and War too.

Do any of us think the R&R HoF has ANY credibility? Definitely agree about Small Faces/Faces, Donovan & War. I was just listening to a couple of War LP's this weekend.

As Rokin Robin said, where are Deep Purple, Yes, Chicago, Moody Blues, etc? Not to mention Rush, King Crimson, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and so on. And wasn't Kiss nominated but not inducted last year? If so, why are they not nominated again this year?

linda ronstadt
warren zevon
carly simon

along with

yes
moody blues
chicago

other than the faces/small faces and heart, not one act on that list deserves it more than those i listed above.

seriously, joan jett before linda ronstadt. that is bullshit, ronstadt should have been the third woman in after grace and janis.

True...but the fact that I'm hearing those words in the voice of Kathy Bates' character from "The Waterboy" at least made me laugh instead of getting angrier at that little weasel.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will have no credibility until The Liverpool Kids get inducted.

Still no Jethro Tull? Canned Heat (no one boggied better)?

All popular in USA - what about Aussie's Easybeats or Daddy Cool or Scotland's Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

Well I hope to see the Small Faces, Donovan and Freddie King make it.

Although there are some great names, nothing will makes this stupid-ass creation by Mr. Wenner relevant. Ever.
Heart and The Cure should've been in years ago as well as The Faces/Small Faces, The Spinners, War, Donovan and Freddie King.
As fo the "newer" acts, The Beastie Boys and G N' R are no-brainers.
Rufus and Donna Summer rock? Uh, no, but great musical acts. Joan Jett & Blackhearts were fun, but Hall Of Fame worthy when most of their hits were covers? Maybe not. The Runaways shouldn't be there IMO, but if either were to get in I'd guess they should go first.
I'll be sure to miss next year's selections as usual.

Wonder if the original lineup for GnR will show up, and if they can avoid killing each other onstage. They certainly won't play together.

If GnR get in, this show is going to run about 11 hours...

The RaRHoF is totally irrelevant and that's all the time I'm going to waste on that.

It makes some interesting debates, it sells some records, feeds some comebacks but I am not inclined to go...unless the original (1966 - 1969) Mothers of Invention are named and that aint never gonna happen.

I would agree with:

While I like some of the others, I can really only support those 4 as "Hall Of Fame" material.

Blue Oyster Cult
Bruce Cockburn
Cab Calloway
Country Joe & The Fish
Dan Fogelberg
Dave Mason (solo)
David Crosby (solo)
Deep Purple
Emerson Lake & Palmer
Faces
Fairport Convention
Funk Brothers (Motown Session Band)(Yes, Jamerson is in as a solo artist, BUT)
Genesis
Hollies
Iain Matthews
Ian Hunter (solo)
Jethro Tull
Joe Jackson
John Mayall
Johnny Winter
King Crimson
Marillion
Mick Ronson
Mott The Hoople
Mountain
Peter Gabriel
Poco
Quicksilver
Richard & Linda Thompson
Rory Gallagher
Roxy Music
Savoy Brown
Scorpions
Spirit
Stephen Stills (solo)
Steppenwolf
Three Dog Night
Tubes
Uriah Heep
