Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame nominations 2021

Nice list. Have the B-52's even been nominated?

Love Devo.

[quote]Because a could not find a general thread on this.

Iron maiden for sure!

also love tina turner, NY Dolls.

Fuck Mary J Bilge

Wow, Foo Fighters have been around more than 25 years!

Mary J. Blige- NO

Kate Bush - NO

Devo - YES

Foo Fighters - NO

The Go-Go's- YES

Iron Maiden = YES

Jay-Z - NO

Chaka Khan -YES

Carole King - YES

Fela Kuti -YES

LL Cool J - YES

New York Dolls -YES

Rage Against The Machine -NO

Todd Rundgren -YES

Tina Turner -YES

Dionne Warwick -YES

I know they only take 7 at the final ballot but the "yes" should only be the ones to consider. I love the Foo's but give me a break! The nom is just a Dave ass lick by Rollingstone

No clunkers on the list

No Kate Bush? Them's fighting words

I wanna see LL Cool J perform!

Sorry r3. I did look and the only threads that came up were a Dionne and a Benatar vs tina threads. Sorry. I hate the fucking search!!!!

I know she's not R&R, but why has Carole King never won? She's written songs for dozens of people not to mention her own career. Tapestry anyone? According to wiki, Tapestry sold 13 million records just in the US. And she competing with Mary J. Bliiiige!

[quote]I know she's not R&R, but why has Carole King never won?

She's in as a songwriter.

I love this incredibly bitchy article ranking all the RRHoF inductees

Why did The Clash got in 3 years before The Sex Pistols? What a ridiculous organization.

New Order, Kate Bush, The Jam, Todd Rundgren, Warren Zevon, Tina Turner(solo), Diana Ross(solo), The Shangri-Las, are not in, but BON JOVI and The Red Hot Chili Peppers are. Joke institution.

R13 This isn't Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones, right?

I like most of those nominees, but has Jay Z been around long enough? and I LOVE Kate Bush, but she's considered rock and roll?

R16 no it's Bill Wyman the music journalist. Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones actually tried to sue him.

R17 Janet Jackson and Madonna are in the RRHoF. Why not Kate Bush?

R19 makes sense - didn't even realize they were!

SORRY!

KATE BUSH - YES!

If Tina Turner gets it, she will be one of the few people to be inducted twice.

What about like PJ Harvey and Tori? They’ve been around forever.

The article at R13 is why music sucks ass today if that's what passes for criticism.

On what fucking planet do you rank Dusty Springfield below Madonna and Janet Jackson?

And calling Laura Nyro a "Second tier" artist? When did such ignorance become the norm?

Tina Turner should have gotten in back in 2009 when it was the 25th anniversary of Private Dancer.

How do you have a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but not induct the Queen of Rock and Roll?

Stevie Nicks is the only woman inducted twice.

How come pat benatar is not on the list?

Eurythmics, Kate Bush, Billy Idol and Grace Jones.

R25, Pat and Stevie has a the same success in their solo efforts and both of them have not reached #1 in the billboard charts but stevie got inducted twice??

R25 Tina should have been the first woman inducted twice. Stevie had a middling career built off the back of Tom Petty and she fizzled out fast.

I smell bullshit with lawyers, managers, and agents with these decisions.

There really should be a similar venue for pop artists. Artists like Carole King, James Taylor, Bread, Carpenters, Warwick, Bee Gees, etc are always overlooked.

[quote] If Tina Turner gets it, she will be one of the few people to be inducted twice.

Tina should have been the first twice-inducted female and Stevie would agree.

Chaka Khan is the Susan Lucci of the RRHOF.

Is Janet Jackson STILL trying to be admitted or has she finally gotten the hint and given up?

You're telling me Tina Turner isn't ALREADY in?

Janet Jackson was inducted in 2019.

R31 Stevie definitely does not agree because she can't shut up about how she's the first woman to be inducted twice. These are Divas we are talking about. They would trample on kittens for a measly AMA.

How the fuck are The Carpenters not in but Beastie Boys are? Neither is Rock 'n Roll but come on.

No she isn't R35. Jackson was turned down year after year after year by the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame because she can't sing and nobody knows who she is and her career went down the shitter decades ago...

R38, this isn't hard to look up.

That never happened R39.

[quote]There really should be a similar venue for pop artists. Artists like Carole King, James Taylor, Bread, Carpenters, Warwick, Bee Gees, etc are always overlooked.

R30, the BeeGees are in. Inducted in 11997. However, I do agree with you that pop artist have been mostly overlooked even though other non Rock & Roll genres have gotten in

correction: 1997

R40 = Trump

Team Mary J. Blige, Devo, Go-Go's, Chaka Khan, New York Dolls, Rage Against The Machine; Tina Turner!

And still no Paul Revere and The Raiders. They wrote and played most of their songs, and had over 10 top 40 hits, and had a significant influence on many other rock and garage bands in the 1960s & 1970s. It's politics by Jann Wenner who learned their first album had session musicians, so he blackballed them. They played on all their other albums and played literally thousands of live shows.

Kraftwerk not being in is a joke. Without Kraftwerk, no new wave, likely no post-punk.

Where's Connie Francis, the woman who practically invented rock'n'roll?!

R32 I object!!

So as usual 2/3 or more of the nominees are not Rock performers.

The Go-Go’s better fucking get in.

R50 = Belinda Carlisle

R51=cunt

Only boomers care about the RRHoF. Millennials and Zoomers only care when Harry Styles or whoever shows up. X-gens find the whole thing to be a crass boomer charade. When the boomers die out so will memory of this dumb organization.

The conception of a "hall of fame" for rock music is very white boomer American to the core. If something is already famous, why does it need even more celebration? Why does rock music of all things need a road stop in the mid west? It's all about Boomers celebrating the glory of their eternal youth. They never grew up and still think they're hip and cool for living through the 60s. No wonder so many Brits turn their noses up at it.

I cannot believe that Tina Turner wasn't inducted years ago. That is shocking. Tina Turner IS rock and roll.

DIONNE FUCKING WARWICK IS *NOT* A ROCK AND ROLL SINGER!!! Jesus fucking Christ who decides this?

Cher should already be inducted. What the fuck is wrong with this Hall of Fame committee? She's been performing since the 1960s, and she's still performing today.

And for that matter, Sonny & Cher should be inducted to the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.

Where's George Michael?

I love Dionne, but she has no rock creds. A crime (not of passion) that Benatar is not in.

How the fuck do they nominate Dionne Warwick, a traditional pop singer, and not Barbra Streisand?

That makes zero sense to me.

If they can induct Joan Baez, not to mention Paul MacCartney and John Lennon for their mediocre solo stuff, I really think they could let Lesley Gore and Connie Francis in. Stop being such fucking snobs.

No, yes, yes, no, yes, yes, no, no, no, no, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, no.

"Rock and roll music does not belong in a mausoleum in Cleveland," Bruce added. "It's a living, breathing thing, and if you put it in a museum, then it's dead. It's worse than horrible, it's vulgar."

go off, Bruce Dickinson

Tina Turner was R&R when she was with Ike.

Surprise by Mary Blige. What about Mariah? She's should've been nominated before her. If Whitney got in, why not her also? They should just change or drop 'Rock and Roll' to a more generalized term to encompass all genres. This will avoid argument against those pop artists.

Foo Fighters are a joke.

R61 "and John Lennon for their mediocre solo stuff" Hmmm..

The person or people behind this HALL will let anyone they like in regardless of genre, and keep others out that they do not like or who do not contribute money! That is how they decide who gets in.

R47 She is too good for this sorry HALL>

Some of you are so pedantic. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has been acknowledging artists from a variety of genres for years. They obviously use the term VERY lightly, no longer as a genre, but as almost a metonym for all forms of popular music.

That said, I LOVE that Bruce Dickinson quote from R63. Is there anything less rock & roll that a museum and awards show? I wonder if he'll change his tune if they get inducted this year, though. LOL

Do we think Kate Bush has any chance? If this were a British institution, she'd already be in, but unless there are lot of homosexuals in the R&RHOF's voting ranks, I'd be surprised if she makes it.

R70

[quote]The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has been acknowledging artists from a variety of genres for years. Yup. James Brown was one of the first artists inducted, and he was R&B, not rock.

Kate Bush is a brilliant artist, but she was never a thing in the US. Only a niche of gay guys really followed her.

Everyone has their own R&R HALL Of FAME in their mind ! as it should be

The black people will be the ones chosen.

Why isn't Charo in????

Surprised Cher and Cyndi Lauper aren't already in, ditto Vanity.

They should build a fucking SHRINE to Miss Warwick. Sacrifice virgins and youths and offer their blood and so on. She is GODDESS and not meant to be in Cleveland.

Would she be inducted as Warwick or Warwicke?

Born Marie Dionne Warrick, her last name was misspelled on the label of her first single, "Don't Make Me Over," so she started using the incorrect "Warwick." She added an "E" to her last name in the early 1970s on the advice of a psychic claiming that the extra letter would give her "positive energy" and "great success ...

the Go go's really deserve it - i have heard from people in the industry that they are a real, hardcore band

People are gonna be pissed if Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z, Chaka Kahn, Feta Kuli, Tina Turner and Dionne Warwick don't all win.

Why the fuck is Stevie Nicks and Bon Jovi in the hall of fame but not Tina Tuner or Joy Division/New Order?

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a Joke.

It took YEARS for a Janet and Whitney to be finally inducted; especially Janet.

When will Mariah be even nominated? 😆

CHER!!

Goddammit!! Still not nominated. Unfair and wrong.

Just change the name to the music hall of fame. Rock n' Roll has been dead for over 20 years.

Will The Beatles or Nirvana be inducted into the R&B or rap Halls of Fame?

Just curious.

Rock'n'roll=modern music. Some of you are so lame.

R86 - Yes, a few of us have made that point throughout the thread, but, of course, the aspies have to be so pedantic and literal-minded.

Yeah but Dionne doesn’t even come close. She’s not even pop.

She’ll probably get in because she’s such a YASS QAWEEN these days but it really wouldn’t be deserving,

The Foo Fighters and the Go-Gos? Please.

The Poo Fighters are one of the lamest, generic bands that mostly never gets accused of those things just because Dave Grohl played in Nirvana and other punk bands before and Pat Smear in The Germs. So they have the punk cred that Nickelback don't. But musical they are not that different. Bud light commercial rock.

The Go-Go's are in!

As are Tina Turner and Carole King.

Queen Dionne is not gonna be happy.

What’s she gonna tweet?

I kind of feel sorry for Dave Grohl. He tries SO HARD to produce even one thing as good as Nirvana's worst song and comes up short again and again and again. But he'll keep trying while he smiles big for the cameras and plays the role of America's Nice Guy Rock N Roller. He's the "rock star" that we deserve.

Fuckin' JAY-Z?!?!

He was at the very bottom of the online voting. The very fucking bottom.

Both him and Foo Fighters have zero business getting in.

I'm happy for the Go-Go's. Sorry for Dionne but it's always gonna be a long shot for her. Not surprise about Jay-Z. If Notorious B.I.G made it, they definitely will vote him too.

Performer Category:

· Foo Fighters

· The Go-Go's

· JAY-Z

· Carole King

· Todd Rundgren

· Tina Turner

How on earth is Tina Turner not already in there???

FUCK JAY-Z

She was in there with Ike r97, but not as a solo artist.

I love the Tina turnar

Still no Kate Bush? YAWN

RRHOF is a business. They say they make their decisions based off "excellence" but everyone knows it's about $$$, showbiz collusion and a dash of diversity inductions to make themselves seem woke. The Foo Fighters are a joke. Dave Grohl needs to fuck off forever.

Courtney Love/Hole deserved to be inducted way, way, WAY before the painfully lame Foo Fighters ever did. But once I saw Dave & co. were nominated, I knew they were going to get in on the first try. What a joke!

The Queen of Universe Marifat Carey was not even nominated despite being eligible for nomination since 2005 🤣

Fela is the one near-genius level musician on the list, so of course he doesn’t make the cut. Zombie is a better song than anything the Foo Fighters or Jay-Z have ever released.

In fairness to Mooriah, I believe you're off by at least a decade R104. She's eligible since 2015 or 2016 only. I'm thinking she might get in within the next 5 years maybe.

This guy's personality for a few years was basically "my wife". I'm guessing he likes to be led around, told what to like, what to feel...until he doesn't, realizes he's made a huge mistake and blows up the relationship. I've seen this dynamic with The Straights many times. Whenever you see a straight man who has obviously been dressed by his wife, you know the relationship is about to implode.

Singer, writer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer,

KATE BUSH is not only a rock superstar, but a legend.

So, Jay-Z is going to be in the ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME, but not Cher. lol

She's the wrong color.

Meanwhile Madonna got in on first eligibility. Speaking of influence and power

This "Hall Of Fame" has been a big pile of steaming crap from the start.

[quote] Meanwhile Madonna got in on first eligibility. Speaking of influence and power

I believe it happened with Notorious B.I.G also last year? And for next year , I think Eminem will be eligible. I'm guessing he's a shoo-in getting in.

Both Foo Fighters and Jay-Z got in also on their first eligibility this year.

What is this also ran category LL is getting inducted in?

What about me? ME!!!!!!!!!!! I want a nomination. Why I am not important even compared to Janet

R114 Foo Fighters were a shoo-in because Grohl is an industry whore.

I have zero issue with Jay-Z getting in. His influence in hip hop and popular culture is undeniable. But, LL? Sure, a couple of his early tracks are classics, but then it's been B-acting and award show hosting for decades.

I'm disappointed about Kate Bush, but I'm not surprised. She's, of course, always been more revered in England.

Bauhaus, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains deserve to be there already.

In my humble opinion, of course.

Mother Love Bone was great, too.

This organization is a joke. I love a lot of the artists, of course, but not the majority. And much like the Grammys and the Oscars, we don’t need these people to tell us what good or great music is.

[quote]· Tina Turner

Fucking FINALLY.

It's shameful that it took them this long to put her in as a solo artist.

It only took 35 years for Carole King to finally get in while Jay-z got in 0 year.

Carole King was already in.

Tina and she are the first women to be in twice.

R123 Stevie Nicks was before them. Tina should have been first in my opinion, but neither her nor Carole are first.

LL Cool J didn’t get in as a performer, like King, Turner etc.... got in.

R105 Zombie?

It is a shame it took so long for The Go-Gos to get in.

R120 well said.

It’s the only point on which I agree with that rancid festering gape Nikki Sixx. Though knowing him, he’ll renege on that stance once the coin is right.

Supposedly, a lot of those frozen out are mostly because they're not liked by Jann Wenner. I've been surprised that Three Dog Night has been frozen out and shows no chance, despite being dominant on the charts for many years with hit after hit. People contend, well, they never wrote their stuff or played instruments. That is the case for many "artists" in the Hall of Fame.

Even Donna Summer, the queen of Disco, wasn't chosen until after she was dead.

For fucks sake it’s not a rock hall it’s a music hall! Jay Z ? How does he qualify as rock? This whole things an ass kissing popularity vote. I wonder if Iron Maiden (who consistently sell out STADIUMS around d the woke for decades) can be indicted into the SOUL TRAIN HALL OF FAME? Such a joke!

Article with the 11 who should be up for consideration.

No Sonic Youth?

LL Cool J showed why he deserved to be in the Hall more than anyone else that night. He ROCKED THE ENTIRE HOUSE. His was one of the greatest performances EVER at one of these ceremonies.

omg jay z is replusive
