It's a relatively controversy-free list of potential inducteesfor the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, although die-hards always find a reason for outrage at inclusions or omissions. Sorry again, fans of Bon Jovi, The Cure. And apparently someone was even rooting for Moby.
This year, nods go to eight first-time nominees including new wave band The Cars, soft-rock group Chicago and the Tex-Mex influenced Los Lobos. Cheap Trick and Steve Miller are also under consideration for the first time.

That crap ain't Rock and Roll!
ReplyDeleteCan't remember when I ever did some head-bangin' rock and roll along with Janet Jackson.
ReplyDeleteWait... Yes I can: NEVER.
Janet Jackson belongs in the "soul music"'or "r&b" hall of fame. NOT the ROCK and Roll Hall of Fame! And "Los Lobos"? They had ONE song, "La Bamba", which was just a novelty mexi-tune one hit wonder.
ReplyDeleteMandatory "diversity" at the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame". I've been there, and I can tell you, there is far more "motown" than needs to be there. Let them build their own "Soul Music Museum".
