If I could have played bass 1 100th as well as Harris I'd probably be sitting on a nice boat somewhere and counting my money.
The best all girl band was not the Go Go's....Every member of The Runaways could Play, perform, record, write, and produce 10000 times better than the Go Go's.
Nobody claimed she was and that's irrelevant to my post. The fact is Pat Benatar was much more successful and impactful than the Go-Gos. The Go-Gos getting in before her is ridiculous. Benatar didn't cultivate the stereotypical rock persona. She had kids, wasn't a drug user, and didn't whore around. Maybe they're holding that against her.
At first I wasn’t sure if you were showing your approval of the Foo Fighters alone, or lobbying for their removal from the list.
Incorrect! Caesar salad is disgusting, but I did have a salad (with water and grapes).Pretty close!
Carole King was good. Eff Rundgren for telling half the country they are not welcome at his concerts. Music is like sports and shouldn't be political.
Aside from the mega stars and mega groups, I don't think the average fan (of which I am one) remembers much about influences or styles. I've never heard of many of the recent inductees. As a teen during Benatar's heyday, I recall her style being much more than "Love is a Battlefield". The woman could flat out belt it. Many other female singers starting out during that time have cited her as an influence. All I can remember about the Go-Gos is some video in which they were water skiing.
OK you're right. A lot of "peace and love" music has often been about things like protesting war. But it typically promoted love, not hate. It shouldn't be about democrats vs republicans or black vs white.. of course that's JMO.
Carol should be inducted based on her songwriting credits for others. Tapestry is just a big layer of icing on the cake.
The Go-Gos are in the Hall and Jethro Tull is not. That just about says it all.
how is Todd Rundgren not already in?
Who is the woman doing the spit take, and why must she block the view with her mug?
There are a couple songs I copied that are classics you should hear. Gogos your kidding ha. Take your ear plugs out
I know Todd Rundgren, I don’t like his music much. I’m not saying I’m a huge Go Go’s fan, but I like their sound much more than Rundgren. I find him boring.
I recall seeing Paul Simon and a crowd member screamed something about Bush (as I recall). He basically deflected it but then sang one of his old protest-style songs. I thought that was a good way to handle it.
