Warren Zevon gets into the RnR HOF...

[dudog84]

kinda. Whatever the Musical Influence Award is. But I guess he's in, which is something.

And still when you look at some of those in vs. out, the place is bunk.

Zevon

 

[OldPhiKap]

So long overdue.

Now do Little Feat.

And agree, the RnRHoF has become a joke.

 

[budwom]

no Phishes. Don't need no stinkin' R&R HOF!

 

[OldPhiKap]

no Phishes. Don't need no stinkin' R&R HOF!

Clearly an anti-Vermont bias.

Or Billy Idol. Bit surprised at the White Stripes but the fans are dedicated. I love Joe Cocker but aren’t all his hits covers?

The full list:

• Bad Company
• Chubby Checker
• Joe Cocker
• Cyndi Lauper
• Outkast
• Soundgarden
• The White Stripes

They always kick the little guy!

And Delaware has mad NIL money. Can’t compete with The Corporate State.

Corporate wads and shamefully flat to boot!

 

[OldPhiKap]

They do have George Thorogood and The Delaware Destroyers. That ain't bad.

 

[budwom]

and Cab Calloway!

Eddie Vedder honored two of the 2025 Hall of Fame inductees last night with a cover of Zeon's Keep Me in Your Heart and a champeen toast for current drum and founder Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron.

It’s a bit different. The Letter was a hit for the Box Top. Many of the songs were associated with other artists before hit. Elvis’s songs were many written for him.

Debated mentioning it here, both because of the "kinda" aspect and because the Hall can go to hell.

I'd like to here a cover of Ain't that Pretty at All substituting the R&R HoF for the Louvre.

THAT'S ALRIGHT and HOUND DOG were not written FOR Elvis, ........Many songs by huge artists were not penned by those artists... but...again....song writing doesn't make an artist more or less deserving of the sham called the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame..

 

[dudog84]

THIS should get more notice and notoriety:

| Songwriters Hall of Fame

Songwriter's Hall of Fame

www.songhall.org

Unfortunately it has no ceremony and no permanent location, but one has been proposed for the Brill Building. Seems appropriate.

and many songs purportedly written by some people were never written by them...producers and record companies would often screw their own artists claiming they wrote stuff they didn't...no one there to tell them no.

 

[dudog84]

I found this entertaining:

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is not very rock and roll

 

[rsvman]

Warren Zevon is awesome.



That is all.

He was definitely excitable. Glad to see him in.
