if you don't have Journey forget the Separate Ways and Open Arms is the way. To the Hall of Fame controllers all I can say is if you don't have Foreigner you probably don't know what love is. I saw the 3 bands in Seattle on October 21, 2011. I truly believe they don't make music like that anymore. These bands have touched many lives in a way only real music can. I was amazed at the number of hits and equally the number of people singing them word for word. I recently went to see Foreigner, Journey and Night Ranger. Now that I'm older and can see and hear the talent I realize they were all pure awesome. The emotion brought out when you realize they aren't in the R & R Hall of Fame? OMG!!! When i was young, in the seventies, I didn't know and didn't really care about those bands. but the facts are the facts when considering the likes of Foreigner, Journey and Kiss. Unfortunately, opinions can sometimes be considered like the beauty analogy, you know the one, 'eye of the beholder'. Both Nirvana and Radiohead will soon be inducted (both are around the 25 year old mark to be eligible I can think of a few others who are also more deserving: Iron Maiden, KISS, Journey, Def Leppard - Pyromania single-handedly created pop-metal. When you think of a band/solo artist, something should come to mind, and yet, with Rush, very little does. I've heard Rush mentioned a few times but i aint keen on the lead singers voice (their songs aint that popular). #5.unique stripped down sound - very rareīoth band's are long overdue. #4.incredible live band – immensely talented musicians (Clapton adores them) #3.Money for Nothing - #1 everywhere and an epic MTV song #2.Brothers in Arms - one of the best rock albums ever For Madonna to be inducted into the ROCK hof ahead of hard/heavy ROCK pioneers is a facre Then theres Ian Paice – ones of rocks greatest dummers. #2.In Rock - one of the three albums that created metal - others being Led Zep II and Black Sabbath's Paranoid Two stand out: Deep Purple, Dire Straits. Gary Lewis & The Playboys remain a big part of that world fifty years later. Some people need to get over their issues and correct an injustice to the world of music. I would wager that 30 years from now you will still find at least seven of the hits by Gary Lewis & The Playboys on the airways, as they are now, while current year inductees Public Enemy or even Heart will be found missing. Beginning with the advent of the electric guitar and the steady onslaught of technical wizardry that has dominated music recording for so long how do you decide what song is pure? Clearly for most music groups the answer to that is always, “how many records did they sell?” Why that is not the rationale used for Gary Lewis & The Playboys is a mystery. Some say, “Well, Gary Lewis & The Playboys had too much help in the studio!” That’s the craziest rational for being against induction of all. from the record books because he is the son of Major Leaguer Ken Griffey Sr.? We could play this game all day. Some say, “Well if he wasn’t the son of Jerry Lewis, he would never have had that success.” Does that mean we should forget Michael Douglas’s success and take back his Oscar’s because he is the son of Kirk Douglas? Or maybe we should strike Ken Griffey Jr. Those are facts that are unmatched by many groups/ individuals already inducted into the Hall of Fame. The group, Gary Lewis & The Playboys had eight gold singles, seventeen Top 40 hits, and four gold albums. To not see the truth of that statement is to either be unaware or to totally ignore numerous, undeniable facts. It is an incredible injustice that Gary Lewis & The Playboys are not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Who is the biggest miss on this list? Who else should the Hall of Fame be considering for next year? Discuss! Red Hot Chili Peppers (this was their first year of eligibility) Some of the higher profile musicians who have yet to make the cut include: Artists are eligible to be inducted 25 years after their first recording is released.īut what's more interesting is the growing list of artists and groups who get passed over each year, despite record sales, reputation in the industry and lobbying from fans around the world. This honor is given out annually to inductees selected by a voting committee from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. Clearly making it into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has very little to do with popularity.Īt tonight's ceremony, ABBA, Jimmy Cliff, Genesis, The Hollies and the Stooges will each receive their well deserved induction.
