I think they may be RRHOF material. Rock As I go through about only about one snub per month, I have a few years worth of material to write on the subject so far :B. Glad to hear that! Voter 2: Beyond the fact that Im not sure its totally cool that Tom Morello is on the nominating committee, Ive always found them to be artistically insubstantial. Total snub! In 2021, key members of The Monkees, Kansas, The Moody Blues, The Gap Band, and Digital Underground died, and those bands were all passed over for consideration in 2022.

Their music holds up very well, but there are too many bands that are decades older than them that need to be inducted first. Ill have to do some research on Golden Earring (as I am not familiar with them), but Paul Revere and the Raiders and The Zombies are both on my own lengthy list as well.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominations: What It Means I would consider The Carpenters to be a jazz band, but I agree that a case can be made for them as a white R&B group as well. On your existing list, show me any artist who can compete with that list of accomplishments and sales. The Monkees need to be in.

Voter 1: I considered voting for them, but I didnt in the end. Speaking to the latest issue of Goldmine I have been pondering the Stray Cats for a while, for example, and I am still not sure how I want to deal with the whole Brian Setzer question. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame reveals the class of 2023 LL Cool J and Kraftwerk can get a special award, as a treat. But to me, his work is less substantial, less interesting, and has aged less well than it would have if we were having this conversation in 2012.

Rock Hall snubs Rory Gallagher, Johnny Loverboy Yes, these are all great bands to write about and all of them are on my listsome of them, like Depeche Mode and The Cure, have been ones I have wanted to write about for a long while, and other bands of these like Midnight Oil and Husker Du have managed to make it into other entries but will probably merit entries in this series before too long, along with bands like the Replacements. Thanks for the suggestion. First American Band with ten million or more selling singles goes, and ten or more million selling albums. Their career, after all, is a lot like that of inductee the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It didnt feel to me that there was any reason I should vote for him now.
