Ok let's talk about the Rock n' Roll Hall Of Fame or should I say the Rock n' roll hall of shame which is what I call it. The institution has been a big disappointment
to the rock community . the group has inducted acts like Madonna, Run DMC, Grandmaster Flash, Neil Diamond, and those dancing queens ABBA, instead of real rockers like Free, Bad Company, Yes, Thin Lizzy, Chicago (The Terry Kath era), Cheap Trick, Judas Priest , Kiss or Deep Purple . what the fuck is wrong with the hall of fame.
What a bunch of fucking idiots that committee has utterly ignored the bands who were around and put non rock acts that hae no business being in the hall of fame. Madonna is pop and basically is not the greatest singer but a mere performance artist, ABBA , the two men and girl team which produced songs like "Dancing Queen" or "Mama Mia" for their sugray pop songs that is no rock n' roll. Run DMC and Grandmaster Flash are rap artist . One thing is the hip hop hall of fame or the pop hall of fame but they ain't rock n' roll. Neil Diamond he is basically pop and middle of the road type.
Jann Wenner and his cronies are too political and always ommitted the real rockers for his won taste. This is why they are called The rock n' roll hall of shame and the institution should be called unless thye get it right next time and we will held these morons accountable for their actions in choosing real rockers with the artificial ones. ABBA rock n' roll ? you got to to be fucking kidding me.

I totally agree with your opinion in every way. Rock N Roll has it's own distinctive sound. Guitar riffs, drummers who drum w/ real sticks not on keyboards and who sing from somewhere deep inside themselves you wonder "Why can't I do that. " or "Where was I when the rock gene was passed out". The acts being accepted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame is more of a who is friends w/ who list not who is like the "Who". GIVE US REAL ROCK ARTISTS NOW!!!

I like your style and comment and you are always welcome to come and join the discussion anytime soon. I always feel that the institution has been out of touch and disrespectful to the atists who had a greater impact than the non rock acts. Did someone forget Free, Bad Company,Deep Purple, Kiss, Yes, ELP, or even Rush.
There is too much fluff and gimmicks going around. ABBA, Madonna, Run DMC, Grandmaster Flash and even plan on nominating Donna Summers, or Chic who else KC and The Sunshine Band nothing against disco but that belongs in the pop music hall of fame or the disco hall of fame. What can I say they are the rock n' roll hall of shame
