Boycotting until Little Feat are in.

Nice to see the Moody's finally get in. They deserve a space alongside their peers, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and the Who.

My only question is when does Grand Funk Railroad get in?

About freaking time for Dire Straits! Along with critical acclaim from the beginning, they briefly reached biggest band in the world status, before Mark Knopfler decided intentionally not to be a big rock star any more. He's also gone on to record a solid string of solo or duo albums, to the extent Dire Straits gets any carry over credit for that.

It will be interesting to see who performs as part of Dire Straits for the induction ceremony.

Will that happen when Bigfoot is seen?

[Tommac]

I'm still waiting for the Doobie Brothers, Judas Priest, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Iron Maiden and Jethro Tull. It's a farce some of the people that are in the "Rock & Roll" hall before these bands.

Boycotting until Little Feat are in.

Strongly agree! Awesome band that put on some of the best live concerts I ever saw. Must have seen them 20+ times before 1994. Loved the Lowell George sound.

Allman Brothers, Little Feat, and Jethro Tull were almost always great live. The Grateful Dead had their moments.

[Jeffrey]

Will that happen when Bigfoot is seen?

No, he was spotted at many Grateful Dead concerts and Little Feat is still being ignored.

I'll drink it and post a review.

Isn't there a rule against hijacking your own thread?

That was Bill Walton.

Geez, you weren't suppose to tell that to the civilians.

Nice try, I've got you figured out. You're here to drink beer, discuss Duke basketball, drink beer, and drink more beer.

Both are correct at the 100% level.

But, I echo the sentiments about Dire Straits and the Moody Blues: About damn time!

Thanks for the needed revision, you're spot on!

I'm not falling for it. I'm sure you have a 6 pack of each brand.

All threads are about beer in dd’s world, so it is not so much a hijack as a woke moment.

Geez, you weren't suppose to tell that to the civilians.

To be fair, he doesn’t hide it well.

Love Dire Straits and Moody Blues. Both deserving.

The Cars? Really? Are they any more deserving than Men at Work?

Is Squeeze in? If not, that’s a rob job too.

If you really like the older rock but want new stuff give Gretta Van Fleet a listen. It's a bunch of young guys trying to get started big and they have a very Led Zeplin sound to them. They are playing at Rock on the Range in 2018.
