Instead of just ranting about the 2023 Rock Hall Of Fame nomination list - I actually show you a comparison of the discographies of some of these inductees vs some legendary rock bands that have NEVER been nominated. See it with your eyes, what a joke the Hall of Fame has become. It seems to be its more about diversity than actual accomplishment that's dictating this Hall of Fame.

Great comprehensive list. Personally, I've never been a big fan of Three Dog Night, but they certainly were really big, and you're not alone in wanting them in. Thanks so much.

@kevindohn6776 10 месяцев назад

Any establishment that omits all these bands, shameful ! I like that you have Triumph on your list,one of my favourites !

@corawheeler9355 Год назад

Agree, the biggest snub is to Jethro Tull. Dozens of albums, decades of music. Brilliant compositions and excellent musicianship. Self-taught flutist Ian Anderson is a genius. Perhaps it's the line in Baker Street Muse, "I have no time for Time Magazine or Rolling Stone". Do ya think? I can't imagine why Tull hadn't been inducted years ago. I'm sure Ian isn't losing any sleep over it.

@TheAlanRosenbergShow Год назад

Yes Biggest snub to me too. I know Jann Wenner hated Tull and Anderson and of course Ian doesn’t suck up to anyone. But should be irrelevant. Full accomplishments and musical legacy and uniqueness more than qualifies them.

@danb.9891 Год назад

Well said Alan. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a private for profit entity, so I guess they can put in anyone who may increase traffic at the museum. However, it's not been a hall of rock & roll for some time. Willie Nelson is an American Treasure, but not rock & roll...same with Dolly Parton and so many other recent inductees. It would be akin to enshrining Eddie Van Halen into the Bluegrass Hall of Fame. Until the MC5, Grand Funk, and The Jgeils Band get in, it's simply the Hall of Pop-Culture not Rock & Roll....😒

Thanks. Yep totally agree. It’s the hall of popular music to get high ratings and make money.

Thanks so much. That's my main issue, get the legendary rock acts that have been snubbed in to the hall (most have never even been nominated) before inducting the ones that they've been doing that in many ways fall outside the general consensus of hall of fame worthy rock and roll music.

@tarrtruck2869 Год назад

You are spot on with your analysis of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. First of all let's just say what it really is, it's a business, and will always be a business first. Not too much to do with musical legacy or achievement if you're not in the first wave of Rock and Roll including the British Invasion (50s, 60s, there are a few exceptions). The Hall needed those bands and artists to get off the ground. They were pioneers and they had to let them in regardless of how long they were together or how many hits they had. Now there's several who aren't even Rock and Roll artists in the truest sense of the word who are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and dozens of Rock and Roll artists with large catalogs and years in the business who will never get a look let alone have a shot of getting in. It's a total joke! The place is run by a small cartel of successful music executive types in corner offices who's bottom line is strictly profit. The list you showed of the nominees pale in comparison to stacks of CDs you displayed of the bands that should rightfully be inducted and are not, this sadly happens year after year. The fix is in! It's like any corporation, you have to sell to a younger market to sustain profitability and viability even at the expense of those who rightfully deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame even though the organization would vehemently deny this theory. It's a tragedy and a disgrace.

@TheAlanRosenbergShow Год назад

Thanks for your spot on explanation. You’ve described the situation perfectly. It really is sad but seems to be typical of the world we live in. Ratings money clicks. That’s all that seems to matter.

@davereese6614 Год назад

If these execs want to have more bodies visit the Museum, all they have to do is simply lower the damn price of a ticket. Sorry, but these days your average family in Cleveland cannot afford the price of a ticket. If any of you reading this disagree, it's probably due to your living in a safe bubble. I haven't gone to the Museum in years. IT COSTS TOO DAMNED MUCH!!!

@tarrtruck2869 Год назад

@@davereese6614 Everything costs too much. We are definitely turning into a have and have not society. Have you seen the price of concert tickets? To me it's all a price gouge. Someone's always willing to pay the money no matter what, even if they can't afford it. I went to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame two weeks after it opened in 1995. I don't remember what I paid but it wasn't extravagant by any means. The museum was well- lit with natural light, big rooms and high ceilings. Some of the displays were fantastic. Having said that I was disappointed that some of the artist that were not included at that time but I always thought they would get in soon. NOT TRUE! I've waited almost 30 years for some of these groups or artist to get inducted (and rightfully so) and probably will never be. I had no idea what a political shit show and mess this place was until about 10 years ago. I will never go again. It cost too much now and they disrespect artist and groups who are Rock and Roll and should rightfully be in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

@martysmith5260 Год назад

There needs to be a year when they look at early artists who played "Good Time Rock and Roll." For instance, The Turtles, The Monkees, and Paul Revere and the Raiders were HUGE multi-media stars in the 60's. (Radio, TV, magazines.) I know, I was there!!

@TheAlanRosenbergShow Год назад

The Monkees were obviously huge and sold gigantic amounts of records. But still “prefabricated “. Some great tunes for sure though

@SSGLew 9 месяцев назад

Concur with Marty. For me, it's more about the artist's interpretation of the song (whether they wrote it or not). Examples would be Aretha's cover of Respect, Cash's cover of Hurt. Drake, Fang, and Smitty made PRTR a rock juggernaut (no disrespect to those before and after). The Turtles did more for folk rock than The Byrds IMO. As for The Monkees, it's totally irreverent that they didn't write most of their hits. 4 straight #1 albums, based on their interpretations and dynamic. That being said, The Hall has become a diluted joke that really needs to drop the pretense of honoring rock. Excellent video and analysis!

@05645ci Год назад

This museum is misnamed. It should have been named the Pop Music Hall of Fame. It's full of artists that never played a note of rock, and missing many important rock artists. That's the reason the fans get frustrated with the inductees. Ironically, the museum would not have gotten off the ground as well when it opened during rock's heyday had it been named the Pop Music Hall of Fame, but would have been better off today as rock n roll as a genre no longer rules the charts. It changed it's formula to include artists outside of rock to broaden it's appeal to a larger audience, but never bothered to mention it to the fans hoping no one would notice their sleight of hand moving away from rock's diminishing share of the market. The roster looks phony to rock fans because it is.

@FuturePast2019 Год назад

8:00 Is it the "Rock n Roll Hall of fame" or ... "Rock n Roll MUSIC hall of fame." They say diversity means less white people, but in Rock n Roll it means less white men.

@TheAlanRosenbergShow Год назад

I also meant diversity in music. Dolly Parton etc - now Willie Nelson, Missy Elliott and so many others - just call it the Popular Music Hall of Fame - because these people are not really Rock 'n Roll.

@stevenmaginnis1965 Год назад

That's just that point at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. THe Hall is run by critics who think that rock and roll is about more than white guys with guitars. And it is, But they induct acts that are so far from rock and roll , they've lost their focus, Plus, the ywant to own the rockists and nominate acts that will piss the moff - hene, Madonna in her first year of eligibility. And it's interesting how selective rock critics' idea of diversity can be. When rock critics make lists of the best albums of all time, the list is very diverse, but when they makes lists of the worst albums of all time, a great deal of space on those lists are taken up by white men. Merely enunciating verbally . . .

@samrushton5497 Год назад

Supertramp made some of the best albums from 74 to 79, with the hit songs to go along with them. I reckon a movie or show feature will get them a nomination.

I have many thoughts on this, but I posted this on Feb. 2 on Twitter in response to Billy Joel tweeting about Warren Zevon and Cyndi Lauper getting inducted into the RnRHOF: "The lines between inclusion and exclusion have become so blurred, I'm not sure what the qualifications are anymore to be inducted into the @rockhall. Are we going to induct individuals based on one hit album while ignoring artists with longer and much more successful careers?"

@TheAlanRosenbergShow Год назад

Wow - yes - we are totally on the same page. I guess since the beginning they've been doing this to a certain extent. Like I mention Richie Valens. And there are exceptions. There are legendary artists who made an incredible impact with one album like The Sex Pistols....of course now there are like 100 Sex Pistols albums. But it's getting ridiculous to me now, when you look at the mammoth and hugely successful discographies of Tull, Grand Funk and so many more and they're overlooked by a Cyndi Lauper who had 1 great album, 1 really good album, and she didn't even write the hits. And it goes on and on. But I guess the whole world is "political" and who you know and who you suck up to, and how you manipulate the system.....it's hard to succeed in a big way by not playing the game..... Thanks.

The critics never liked Grand Funk - they hated them, in fact - and so they'll never get in.

@TheAlanRosenbergShow Год назад

They sure did. Grand Funk was like the ultimate people's band. They weren't alone though. Uriah Heep was another one. critic "if this band makes it, I'll have to kill myself". lol. Even Led Zeppelin was critically mauled by Rolling Stone for a long time. I have hundreds of those old magazines and often funny to see how band's reputations change over the decades. People don't remember, but I have the mags to prove it. Critics didn't consider John Bonham a great drummer back in the day. Karen Carpenter finished ahead of him in a poll one year and it severely depressed him apparently. But you're right in that critics never came around to Grand Funk - still hated and not appreciated...unfortunately.

@konradkreuzberg5903 Год назад

You´re absolutely right, Alan! A band like Jethro Tull should be high in that range. Beside this I always see a great difference between American and European bands if it comes to awards in the US. There are bands top in the list that are rarely known in Europe an there are bands, who are top in Europe seems not even to be noticed in the States. Example: I never saw a band like SLADE in an american award-list. These four guys published a string of great records in the 70th and 80th. Forget the crazy outfits and just listen to their songs, all writen by themselves (Holder, Lea) . Their influence to other groups, even in america, has been huge. But at last: music is not sports. It´s all about personally taste. A man who runs the 100 meters in 9,6 sec is better than a man who needs 10,2 sec. But whose music is "better"? Is a better selling act even so a better musican? There are no best of the best when it comes to art or music. I agree to your words that this list of the HoF doesn´t represent qualitiy or influence of the artists but more diversity und selling-rates in the US.

@TheAlanRosenbergShow Год назад

Absolutely. Being an Anglophile I love digging into the discography’s of legendary UK bands that have little to no impact in the US. Oftentimes there’s amazing music there. There’s gold in them hills and it’s so much fun too. But in the end you’re so right. It’s all our own ears and what gives us pleasure. Music is ultimately very personal and there is no right or wrong. But there is some levels of music that is not debatable. Like Beatles Stones Whio Dylan. And to me Jethro Tull being in the shall Of Fame. Lol. Thanks.

@tristramcoffin926 Год назад

My ballot is Iron Maiden, Joy Division, White Stripes, A Tribe Called Quest & George Michael. Michael was as big as Michael Jackson and Praying for Time is as good a song as exists in the 90s. Iron Maiden should have been in a decade ago. They laid the road for what metal even is. White Stripes are the best band of their generation. Better than The Strokes. The next in this vein to be nominated should be Arcade Fire. Tribe is exception to the rule. When everyone else was doing gangsta rap Tribe took the mantle from De La Soul and rocked jazz rap to legendary heights. Joy Division...I am actually offended they are nommed with the post Curtis New Order in tow. Both of these bands should have been in the rock hall a long time ago. Unknown Pleasures and Closer are both top 50 albums ever. New Order had an entirely separate legacy and should be inducted on those worthwhile strengths. But, hey. If you are a clueless jackass member of the rock hall, sure. Joy Division/New Order is a no brainer.

@TheAlanRosenbergShow Год назад

Forgetting about who I wish was nominated and dealing with reality, I think you're choices are spot on. No doubt Iron Maiden, White Stripes, George Michael should be in based on success, respect and influence. I know nothing about Tribe Called Quest. I of course no of Joy Division / New Order but was never my type of music. I'm a big fan of Sheryl Crow and I would vote her in. I would also put Kate Bush in for her originality and massive success and influence in the UK. Thanks so much.

I have to make the case for my girl Cyndi who have a huge fanbase & leading the rock hall of fame fan vote at #1 for days. She been for awhile on the top 500 artists of Spotify with the most streams. I know her biggest success from her two albums & her third album only sold half a million copies in the USA with only one song on the #6 position for I Drove All night, not a success compared to her previous ones. Her blues album in 2010 did well, #1 for thirteen weeks at Blues Charts with seven songs at top 25, including a #1 hit, and got her a grammy nomination. Her dance/edm album got her two #1 at dance charts with grammy nomination. Not to forget her success on Kinky Boots musical, getting a Tony & Grammy for the songs she wrote for this musical. She is a talented, versatile & underrated artist. Reo Speedwagon deserves to be inducted, great music from this band. Not sure if Toto got inducted, another band i like.

Just my opinion. Thanks again.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow with all that mentioned above, Cyndi's influence on the generations after is on the same scale as Madonna. In the MTV era, both Madonna and Cyndi were game changers and shook the musical landscape up. And possibly for the fact that Girls, Time and True Colors (as singles) still outshines many artist entire album output and lives on radio decades beyond sticker date. Cyndi has been eligible since 2008, this is her first nomination. She's waited long enough. It took Pat Benatar how long? Cyndi is in her 40th year in her career and still moving forward. Besides her diverse music portfolio which many of the artist do not have, she has a very lengthy philanthropic history; not just LGB but many other humanitarian causes. She's still active in the biz with touring and other projects still in the pipeline. I believe her long term career still remains at a level of high profile as those still in the game.

Wow - thanks for this amazing research / work. It's an eye opener for me. Though as you said - stratification of radio - has killed rock music on the charts since the mid 80's. I have books on Billboard charts and it was fascinating in the 70's to see all types of music in the top singles charts. That's disappeared for decades now. Whether it's Bruce Springsteen or The Rolling Stones - few if any rock acts can have a hit single - so as you rightly said the chart info is biased. But even so, it's fascinating. I know virtually nothing about Missy Elliott, but impressive chart success. But of course chart success is only one barometer for the R&R Hall of Fame and it's very hard to rock acts to have chart success anymore. Thanks so much for sharing this great information

@DickBalls-pp2qn Год назад

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Actually country music was the first genre to separate in the mid-1980's, which penalized the country acts which were to a large degree rockabilly acts like Garth Brooks in the 1990's. Meanwhile that really didn't start happening to Rock Acts until the early to mid-1990's during the height of the Grunge Movement early in the career of acts like the Foo Fighters, while some of the older Rock Acts like Bon Jovi, U2, and Aerosmith were able to stay on the Pop charts and continue to get Top 40 single into the early 2000's, with the pop rock acts that still are able to make it onto the Pop Charts are in the vein of Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, Maroon 5, & One Republic.

The way that institution is run is laughable, and this is someone whose favorite artist (Prince) got in first-ballot, along with Eminem (a rapper), another one of my favorites.

Despite the stellar lineup and millions spent on this expensive project it bombed. After the big first week of sales it fell off a cliff. Only 5 weeks on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and the worst reviews of her career. Is Melanie the only Woodstock performer NOT inducted and never nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?

Nearly four decades in, and people are still complaining about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inducting non-rock artists, even though they've been doing it since the very beginning. R&B artists James Brown and Ray Charles were among its first inductees in 1986. And the first female inductee was soul artist Aretha Franklin in 1987. It's never been solely rock artists who have been inducted into the RRHOF, so I don't understand why people are still kicking up such a fuss about artists from other genres making the cut. It's more about the impact an artist or band had--as well as their influence--than the genre they're from.

@TheAlanRosenbergShow Год назад

What you're saying is very true. But at least for me, there are still so many "amazing, classic, hugely successful and influential "rock" bands" that are not even being nominated. And it seems like the Hall of Fame has no permanently forgotten them and moved to later decades where the big successful artists many would consider outside of rock music. I just say, get those rockers in first. Then include the later day outside rock artists. Just my opinion. But apparently lots of others as well. It's not so much, exclusion, Just include more initially of whats more "appropriate" to the name of the Hall - then cast the wider net.

They performed at Live 8, they have sold over 100 million albums and singles world wide. One Hit Wonders? Try Googling things… jeesh. They should be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame just as much as Duran Duran or Notorious B.I.G. who I am sure did not release 11 studio albums from 1985 to 2022!

We can be very blind here in the USA, based on what we're exposed to. Considering how much I follow music, I was totally unaware of the success of A-ha although I knew they had some other success in the UK. So certainly thanks for bringing it to my attention as well.

I'm not really of fan of theirs as well. I can appreciate them. Morello is an incredible guitarist. He took the E Street Band to another level when he played with them and that's saying something.

Arthur Lee and Love (Forever Changes is one of the best albums of all time) 2 The Replacements - "From Let it Be" to "Don't Tell a Soul" there have never been 4 consecutive great albums by any other band. 3 The Smiths - Just because Morrissey is politically incorrect is no reason to keep them out.

So I can't comment on great, legendary artists with big classic discographies that have been overlooked by the Hall of Fame, but then you do saying that Love, Replacements and The Smiths should be in (all valid choices by the way). I'll stick with what I said. Richie Valens did write a great song with Donna, and popularized a classic traditional song La Bamba, but due to his tragic death, he didn't get to do much more, unfortunately. Yea, I don't think he should be in the hall of fame over the artists that I mentioned.

Because you put so much “extra” effort into this video - pulling out all those hefty discographies and painstakingly citing example after example in order to validate your well-thought-out points - I am breaking a promise I made to myself. My pledge was to not engage in discussions about The RRHOF because I believe that it is an insult to every serious lover of R & R music. And I don’t think that The RRHOF has had any credibility for decades. My beliefs are based on the facts that you and many of your viewers have stated. The RRHOF is a business run by board members who play favorites to further their personal agendas to maximize profits and keep their egos fully inflated. Members of The RRHOF Foundation’s nominating committee vote for their friends and for those who will “pay them back” in any number of ways. Of the many offenses perpetrated by The RRHOF, perhaps the biggest is the focal point of your video, Alan: Inducting people who have very small discographies (I totally agree with what you said about The Go-Go’s and Cyndi Lauper) and/or those who have had massive commercial success, in spite of not having a great amount of talent, originality and influence. Moreover, like salt thrown into a wound, lots of these people get into the hall of fame way ahead of long-established artists whose big discographies exemplify true greatness. (Yes, formed in 1968, and The Moody Blues, formed in 1964, were not inducted into the hall of fame until 2017 and 2018, respectively. Contrastly, Foo Fighters, formed in 1994, were inducted in 2021, just two years after the band was eligible. On the other end of the spectrum, certain bands and artists get excluded from the “special club” for reasons that have nothing to do with the excellence and influence of their music. (Can we all shout “Jethro Tull” in unison?) In terms of credibility, how can any hall of fame be bonafide if it doesn’t operate with integrity? It can’t. And that’s why I think The RRHOF is total b.s. If the name “Hall of Fame” begins with the words “Rock and Roll,” a reasonable person should expect to find the hall filled with rock and rollers. It makes as much sense putting rappers, country music performers and pop music idols into The RRHOF as it does to put football players into The Baseball Hall of Fame and basketball players into The Ice Hockey Hall of Fame. Take a look at who’s been inducted into The Country Music Hall of Fame. You won’t find anyone other than country music artists and those associated with them. Check out The Hip Hop Hall of Fame, in New York City, which is dedicated to the music and culture of Hip Hop worldwide. You’ll see all the rappers who have so far been inducted into the RRHOF, but you WILL NOT see ANY rock ‘n’ roll artists, or anyone representing any other genre of music. There are MANY legitimate subgenres of rock ‘n’ roll. Rap, country music and “pure pop” (not to be confused with pop rock) are NOT subgenres. There are plenty of music halls of fame, including America’s Pop Music Hall of Fame, which is located in Canonsburg, PA. Each hall of fame exists to showcase a particular category of music by the artists who create that kind of music. Everyone has their rightful places. Let’s not pretend that those who ride race horses are synonymous with those who drive race cars.

@TheAlanRosenbergShow Год назад

I'm so glad you did respond and stated your opinion (and facts) so eloquently. I think it may also be that "rock" music as far as popularity on the charts doesn't exist. It doesn't sell. The classic bands can still sell tickets live in concert but haven't sold records (or even release new records) in decades. There's no radio for "new" classic rock releases. Whether its The Stones, The Who, Springsteeen - on and on - you won't hear the new releases on radio. So the awards shows and the charts are dominated by Rap, Country, Pop. I'm thinking the R&R Hall of Fame is another casualty of this ever expanding domination and "death" of rock music. Just a thought.

@ronalaurence3075 Год назад

As I thought about your thoughts (say that fast, three times!) in your reply to my comments, I believe you’ve made some excellent points. Yes, as far as the charts go, rock ‘n’ roll doesn’t sell. And yes, radio does not play new music by classic, or any other kind of, rock artists. (Every time I listen to Iggy Pop’s new album, “Every Loser,” which was released the first week of 2023, I can’t believe that none of the awesome songs on this great album (IMHO) are getting airplay.) And, yes again, the charts and the awards shows are overrun by Pop, rap and country music. These dominant genres seem to be what the overwhelming majority of music listeners in today’s world want to hear. As with any successful business (and I think we can all agree that The RRHOF is, first and foremost, a business), the product focus obviously has to be on what sells the most, what is most profitable and what consumers will “keep coming back to buy.” Hence, as you stated, who The RRHOF inducts depends on who will bring high ratings to the televised ceremony and who will give cachet to the subsequent party, resulting in the continued viability of The RRHOF. All of this makes sense when viewed through the lens of business. What does not make sense to me, personally, is why The RRHOF should keep a name that NO LONGER accurately represents the genre of music for which it was named. This particular aspect of the various controversies surrounding The RRHOF has been a major thorn in my side for a very long time. For years, I’ve thought that the name should be changed to fairly represent the new direction that The RRHOF has taken. (You and many of your viewers seem to be on the same page as me, when it comes to that.) I say: Replace the words “Rock ‘n’ Roll” with the word “Music.” That would make this hall of fame palatable to me, personally, because it would make sense (to me, anyway), at the very least. Of course, the politics (and unfairness regarding discography size, elapsed time between band formation and hall of fame induction, preference for record sales over artist originality and influence, etc.) will always remain. That’s the reality of celebrating a so-called art from a business foundation (IMHO).

I agree with Jethro Tull, Even Boston and a few other you mentioned. How about Poco? The have a lot of music as well. And to top it off have a lot of members that moved to the Eagles. Isn't that influence? Sure they were formed for the express purpose of feeding Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles. That happened while making quality music themselves. Isn't that the purpose of the award? After all Black Sabbath the band deemed Grandfather's of heavy metal that others incorporated their music into theirs that kept the genre going. I know for many years people say rock is dead. It isn't. Rap and others took out instruments added computer generated music in its place. A bad thing for music unless you want to say someone pounding on a table talking on the phone is music. Or talking on the phone while downloading sounds and beats to go with it. A single person. Sounds like those people who performed as one man bands way back with a instrument and drum attached to their back with a monkey with a cup collecting money. Music has gotten lazy and or people with little or no talent musically. Not interested in learning a guitar piano drums etc. Or couldn't afford them to learn it.

I been watching few videos of 2023 R&R Hall Of Fame. Few brings a valid point related to the criteria from R&R Hall Of Fame to become eligible for induction 25 yrs after release of first record. Influence & significance of the artist or band. Then Sheryl Crow for now, should not be considered. Nothing influential about her. Some very good songs from her, specially in the 90's. Kate Bush is original, and perhaps is her time to be inducted. But Cyndi Lauper is without doubt the most influential artist from the class of 2023 with timeless classics hits that still on the radio for decades & is no surprise her following with a decent lead of fan votes. Fashion icon & great singer. Soundgarden is a yes for me, from all the bands, i enjoy their music. Kate Bush can't touch Madonna in the UK. Madonna is the most successful female artist in UK Chart history 13 number #1 Hits & best female selling artist, including concerts. Not too familiar with Kate Bush, heard of her, never heard her music on the radio. No idea if Kate Bush does huge arenas, like Madonna or even sell more shows & doubt if she have a fan base like Madonna. Cyndi also been doing huge arenas since her first release until her third album with tours around countries around 1990-1991. Nothing against Kate Bush, like i said, she is original & unique. No problem if she gets inducted, but not before Cyndi Lauper. My opinion, enjoyable video clip!

@TheAlanRosenbergShow Год назад

I didn't realize that Cyndi Lauper still had such a large and faithful following. I pretty much stopped listening to her after True Colors. She certainly hasn't had any "big" hits in the US since then with her albums. She certainly expanded to other areas like TV, Broadway and TV commercials. I know that Kate Bush is an icon in the UK and considering she only toured once in her career and then returned for a historic run at the Hammersmith - she's very famous there. Virtually unknown in the US till now after STranger Things. Looks like Lauper may get in. I like her, but wouldn't be my choice - I think Sheryl Crow is a great talent. She writes great songs, does great albums, plays, produces - I think she's the real deal. We'll see what happens. Thanks so much.

Girls Just want to have fun, perhaps even bigger song than Time After Time, music video is top 5 of most stream video from the 80's with over a billion views. True Colors is a gay anthem, huge hit. Few of her songs were at least top 10, including Goonies R' Good Enough, one of my faves from a cult film that i love. USA for Africa, part of the main line-up. Her 90's music perhaps even better, but her forth album from the 90's did better in the UK & The World is Stone a big hit in Europe, France & some other country #1 & #2 in the charts. In NY , don't remember her 90's music playing on the radio. Lite FM station of soft pop was playing her acoustic version of Time After time duet w/ Sarah McLachlan & few songs from her 2004 standard album At Last, besides her popular hits from the 80's. New York Pulse Dance station did played two of her edm songs from her 2008 dance cd, which i have & is great. Into The Nightlife became #1 in the Dance Charts, and another hit also #1.

Looking at artwork covers few stood up, specially Cyndi Lauper. Fascinated with her look & i turn around True colors & saw her yellow-red hair, blue lipstick & newspaper skirt. I told my uncle tell me more about her & have to listen her music. Then he introduce me to her music videos & live shows, enjoyable experience & she is quite a character like no one i seen.

Funny...to me Discographies are the most important criteria of a band/artists history. It's their official record of what they did musically. What can be more important? Now based on their discography, their musical output, that output will hopefully gather listeners, sell records, be influential, allow them to tour and play live and gain a following. The Go-Go's induction includes their influence, but that's because Beauty And The Beat was a huge success, and deservedly so. It's one of the greatest debuts ever...no argument from me. It's at the top of their story - First #1 album by an all-female band, written by the band. If it wasn't for Beauty And The Beat, they wouldn't have gotten nominated or put in. They weren't close to being the first all-female rock band - talk to The Runaways, Genya Ravan (Goldie and the Gingerbreads), Fanny and many more. The Go-Go's got in because of their success with Beauty And The Beat. My other point is there are a ton of classic rock bands, with huge, long, very successful careers with huge, strong, influential and unique discographies (hello Jethro Tull) and they should be in.

Surfin' was just Baby Talk according to Mike Love. Yes Brian co wrote with Jan some of J&D's hits. But he also co wrote with others who's songs went nowhere. So maybe Jan had just as much to do with the hits as Brain... Jan also did this Writing , Arranging , Producing(Yes all the Instruments not just a few words).... All while being a Full time Student mostly studying Medicine. He also was the one according to Lou Adler who put the main Wrecking Crew players in to play. People Brian used on his records. Jan according to Hal Blaine was the first to use 2 Drummers on the recordings. Both playing the same part at the same time. Earl Palmer (both are in the Hall as Sidemen. People like Leon Russel and Glen Campbell were regulars. All this ended in April 66 when Jan a true IQ level Genius suffered serious Brain damage in an auto accident. Fall of 66 they were to start filming a TV Show Jan & Dean on the Run who's Pilot had been picked up. Although he returned to the studio a year later. Nothing really became commercially successful. A 78 TV Movie bought them back out on the "Oldies Circuit " until Jan's death in 96 (?) He had to listen to the songs just before the show to be able to remember the words. But could still write all the Notes to all the Instruments. Now with his Left hand as his Right side was Paralyzed.

Thanks for that incredible information on Jan of Jan & Dean. I know very little about them, so I found it fascinating. Didn't know he was a main component of putting the Wrecking Crew together. Of course they played on countless recordings. Perhaps the most successful backing band of all time. As for comparing Richie Valens to Buddy Holly. Well i love Buddy Holly and his discography in such a few years is incredible. I still listen to him fairly regularly. I personally don't think Richie Valens comes anywhere close to Buddy Holly.

Iron Maiden have been around since before the 1980 debut. They tour and tour, sell out the whole world, even the US have started to remember them again. Did they get in last year? No. Fan votes not withstanding. Jethro Tull, even after returning with a new album critics loved, nada. But the Grammy’s managed to give them a heavy metal award, angering every Metallica fan everywhere. This year the Grammys handed out the rock and hard rock, heavy metal awards BEFORE the broadcast due to the «massive amounts of awards»! Are you kidding me?!? The Grammys are just hip-hop, rap and soul and that’s it, they TELL everyone they don’t give a shit about Rock or Heavy Metal, we know this, but the other «people» are called the ROCK AND ROLL hall of fame and they snub rock music over rap and hip hop? They allready have their awards, they OWN the Grammys! And you need a tv show to remind people who Kate Bush is?!? Disgusting. I agree with you 100% even if I’m an Iron Maiden fan. Maybe its a Scandinavian anglophile thing 😉

@TheAlanRosenbergShow Год назад

Thanks so much. There is no doubt Iron Maiden should be in the R&R Hall of Fame even if I don’t particularly like them. I can’t even watch the Grammys or the Hall Of fame. It’s so blatant about a big show and ratings and popularity. For the larger population Rock has largely died caused by theses same institutions including radio. It’s sad and I wish I had an answer

I had people and dates seeing my record collection and litterally look at me like I was clubbing seal puppies. People were also told that we only need one brewery and one beer for the whole Planet.

@@MortenAastad It really is an amazing thing. Rock still sells concert tickets but most of the audience simply wants the handful of hits they know from them listening to classic rock radio that feeds them those same songs. It's astonishing that new rock releases from the biggest artists (Stones, Who, Springsteen, etc) can't get airplay, so don't sell many records except to diehards like you and me, and the "fans" largely don't have an interest. There are some exceptions but few and far between. And to an extent the rock music industry has created this. Like a mass suicide. I''ve heard radio DJ's talk about the new Springsteen, or Stones, or U2 album and saying how great it is and they then play Born To Run, or Satisfaction. It's sickening. Now it's spread to Grammys and R&R Hall of Fame over the decade..

@juanlebron2509 Год назад

Different opinions about which artist should be inducted & mixed reactions as usual. I think few rock bands from the 70's & 80's should get inducted before artists or bands that came after them. It took a long time for great Singers like Pat Benater & Tina Turner to get inducted in my opinion. Official fan vote leaderboard have Cyndi Lauper with the most votes so far. I like Sheryl Crow songs, but because Cyndi Lauper was nominated, my vote goes for her, just a fan, who likes her music, style & voice. To be honest i don't care for the others, Sheryl Crow & Cyndi on top of my list. Kate Bush not my cup of tea, since she came out in the 80's & heard few of her songs. Not sure what genre is her music, perhaps Indie pop.

@TheAlanRosenbergShow Год назад

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Kate Bush is her own genre. Totally unique and totally not for everyone. She can be a very tough listen. But she's certainly a legend and royalty in the UK. I am a big fan of hers as well. Check out Wuthering Heights. One of my favorite songs ever. But if you don't like that you definitely won't like Kate Bush. Funny that it took Stranger Things to get her some popularity in the US and fifty years. Thanks again.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Stranger Things took Running up the Hill on top of the charts, i believe is a remix of the song. Never got into it, and the other song i remember from her is the one with Peter Gabriel. Can't think of any other song from Kate Bush. If Cyndi gets all the way to the end of the fan vote with the most votes, is a good chance of getting inducted this year. She been on top the first days & George Michael then took the #1 spot, but now Cyndi is right back on top with close to 3,000 votes over George Michael.

@AlexRodriguez-qg3rz Год назад

IMO Cyndi Lauper is like a fine wine that gets better with age. You only have her first 2 albums which were her biggest hits. I recommend that you listen to her later albums like A night to remember, Hat full of stars, Sisters of avalon, Shine, At last, The body acoustic, Bring ya to the brink, Memphis blues, and Detour. She also has a great Christmas album, and as you mentioned she was in the great band Blue angel and they released a wonderful album which is really her first album because she wrote and performed all of the songs on it. btw, Cyndi was the first artist in chart history to have 4 top 5 singles from a debut album with Girls just want to have fun peaking at #2, Time after time her first number 1, She bop, reaching #3, and All through the night making it to #5. Money changes everything was also a hit from that album as well as her amazing cover of Prince's When you were mine. The truth is that Cyndi Lauper was a one woman revolution that opened the door for every female artist after her from Madonna to Lizzo. She was really the first female rock superstar. No woman ever had that kind of success before, so she's definetly a pioneer for women and a trailblazer.

@TheAlanRosenbergShow Год назад

Thank you so much for your incredible response. Super knowledgable and very informative. I am a fan of hers, though certainly not even close to the level you're at. I actually saw Blue Angel in Albany. I thought Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is an amazing album and I really liked True Colors as well. I actually went to see her at Madison Square Garden for True Colors tour and had Eddie Money opening (with special guest Ronnie Spector). It was an excellent show. I also have her Best of album. Clearly from a commercially successful standpoint, she peaked at True Colors and had a steady decline. But commercial success alone doesn't qualify you for the Hall of Fame, but it certainly is a major factor. I have heard parts of Night, Stars and Avalon. What I've heard was good. I imagine she has influenced other female performers that came after her. Truly how much, I don't know, but she certainly didn't reach anywhere near the level of a Madonna...at least after that initial flush of success with Girls. And there is no shortage of great female singers/rockers from the 60's and 70's who either had huge success (Ronstadt, Simon, Grace Slick, Tina Turner) or were influential (Genya Ravan, Elkie Brooks) and many more. My point overall is, Lauper's overall discography and her legend is based on one album (ok maybe two with True Colors), and that doesn't compare to the artists I showed. At least that's my opinion, and again I'm a fan of Lauper. If they want to put her in the Hall - that's fine. But much later on down the line. Thanks again for your wonderful and insightful comments. I love the give and take.
