Well the rock hall of fame had their induction ceremony recently. I say who gives a shit. You have LL Cool J Janet Jackson and NWA in the hall but not other pioneers. I don’t know who does the voting, but it sounds something worse than the baseball Hall of Fame. There are rock and roll pioneers that have been left out. And its bullshit. Here are some artists who should be inducted.
Rare Earth
This band had hits such as “I’m losing you,” “Big Brother,” and “I just want to celebrate.”
Quicksilver Messenger Service
Quicksilver Messenger Service should be inducted for this performance of “Mona.” Other hits include “Pride of Man,” “What about me,” and the iconic “Fresh Air.”
Robin Trower
Trower was a member of Procol Harum who also is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As a solo artist Trower has songs including “Day of the Eagle,” “Too Rolling Stoned,” and the iconic “Bridge of Sighs.”
Soundgarden
One of the biggest bands of the grunge era with one of the best voices of all time. Hits include: “Rusty Cage,” “Burden in my hand,” “Outshined,” and “Black Hole sun.”
Grand Funk Railroad
These guys are rock and roll! A lead singer/guitarist with super long hair that usually played shirtless. Originally a trio, they still sounded like a four or five piece band. They were loud and fast! They did “I’m your captain/Closer to home.” that you hear on classic rock every day.
To me the people picking these people for the hall are worse than the baseball people that keep out Pete Rose. My theory is that the selection people pick the acts that they sang at the bars when they were in college!
