Jethro Tull deserves to be in the Hall.
Did Deff Leppard wear shirts like this, that was a fashion statement along with head bands.
Roxy Music made it!!! One of the most original bands of all time. This is well deserved. Time to go crank up the Stranded lp! :cool:

Use to have some Cure but haven't been able to locate it for awhile, probably someone borrowed it and never brought it back, the rest, meh.
Of course you do. You live in Jersey. You probably still drive around in a '88 Iroc Camaro with the T-Tops off blasting that music.

Doobie Bros too.
Um, no. I grew up in a preppy town in Mercer county. People didn’t go to the shore. Girls didn’t have big hair. Everyone dressed preppy and education was paramount.
Doobie Bros too.
I'd rather chew my own arm off.
The people inducted into that ridiculous peeing match are Celebrities, not musicians.
@skeeter
I understand they were Ozzie and Harriets favorite hard rock band!
The folks in charge of nominations for the Hall have a blind spot with respect to so-called prog-rock of the seventies. Jethro Tull's not in the Hall, and neither is King Crimson. Larry Coryell, I'd think, would be worthy as well. More generally, the Hall seems more focused on country, blues and R&B as "roots' music with respect to rock, ignoring those bands whose sound derives from the traditions of jazz and improvisation.
Dick Dale, King of the Surf Guitar
For diversity.
-Arab (Lebanese)
-Over age 80 male
Influenced many notable guitar players
Influenced Fender guitar and amp technlogy

I don't care if he was from Mars,he deserved to be one of the first.
As for him being an Arab,I'm calling BS on that one. He was an American.

Avalon is one of the best albums of the 80s.
I'm pretty in line with every one else...Janet Jackson, for real?
As far as prolific Todd was far more productive. Although I really love John Prine, he really isn't a rocker.
QuoteHe was and remains an American, with ancestry from Lebanon. Wiki cites middle-eastern aspects of his music.QuoteNot everybody in Lebanon was or is an Arab. There were/are many,many Lebanese Christians. Probably a fair amount of non-believers,also. And even IF his family was Arabic,he was born here as an American,and obviously raised as an American.QuoteThat period, was long before "Arab" took on any negatives. He lived, surfed, made innovative music in Ornge County California, and was a major force in the "Surf Music" craze. (bumped off the stage by the British Invasion--but not before inspiring the Beach Boys),
Over the years many guitar players cite him, as dtrong influencs.
Yeah,but he wasn't alone. Let's not forget Link Wray.
Yes.

Yes.@truth_seeker
And listen to T-bone Walker.
I'm all in on the Zombies and Roxy Music being elected.
@truth_seeker
I listen to T-Bone Walker regularly . . .

I have the 2nd one on CD.
The bands I've been in Played Stormy Monday, T-Bone Shuffle, and Mean Old World.
Mean Old world was fun, as the solos were in the beginning of the song, before the verses.
He and Charlie Christian both very instrumental (again, no pun intended) on the future of how the guitar is played.
Janet Jackson? **nononono*They always feel the need to put a token person (woman and/or POC) in that isn't rock or roll—see the repeated efforts to force LL Cool J into the Hall.

To them, virtuosity is pretentious, while bad music made from nothing but pure rage is authentic and laudable.

The one nominee I'm disappointed not making it in was Todd Rundgren, not only as a solo musician but as a major contributor to others' records (e.g. Meat Loaf) as well.
