Re: Rock hall of fame nominees
Should be interesting in about 10 years when they run out of bands to nominate. Nickelback in the Hall?
ELO should have been there already.
There's worse than Nickleback.
Blink 182, Limp Bizkit, Korn? Once you get past the early 90's things go down hill fast. I guess Rammstein? Ehhhh.
Can't believe too that I find myself agreeing with Smoking Guns, it's scary 
. Comparing Janes Addiction to the Red Hit Chilli Peppers.
Multiple RCHP tracks got played constantly on mainstream radio/TV channels over here for years while I was growing up and some still do. Janes Addiction's reach wasn't that great.
...And shouldn't this thread be in the music/film section 
?

Guess I missed what "perils of rock and roll decadence" meant in the other section. But, yeah, it can be moved over there.

ELO and Journey are legit
Pearl Jam is legit but seems too soon eve though it has been 25 years
Bullsit. Jane's Addiction was a great and influential band. Chili Peppers wanted to be Jane's Addiction.
They need to wait like Journey has and Kiss etc did. They aren't first ballot.
James is okay. RHCP is far superior.
I would put Nothing Shocking and Ritual against anything by RHCP. And I'm a huge Chilies fan. BSSM was my pick for best album of the 90s. Jane's was the reason they made BSSM. Just listened to Nothing Shocking the other night. Still a killer album.
Re: Rock hall of fame nominees
Interesting debate, however in terms of HOF, imho, longevity counts. Which RHCP has & Janes' doesn't. I agree Jane's was great, original, influencial, and helped mold alternative music in the 90s. But it was a short 5 year span. Kinda like Nirvana or Hendrix, although they ended due to death. Maybe like CCR vs The Who, or The Pixies vs Wilco.
Hard to think post 95 who'll make it in?! Foo Fighters might be the last band. I can't think offhand of 1 band who warrants it, I liked The Killers but they would be a stretch. I guess it'll morph into "Musical Hall of Fame" and go the Jay Z, Rhianna, Beyonce, Taylor, Lady Gaga route, it'd have to I suppose.

Thats not even half of the bands not in yet. There are so many it's laughable. They won't have a problem with line ups anytime soon. Today's bands... Eh. I don't think it will matter.

In what kind of messed up world does Dave Abbruzzese not get nominated into the HoF with Pearl Jam?
