rock n roll hall of fame nominations announced. will swa(y) love or hate?
 

Can you believe ABBA isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet? How about the Stooges? Genesis? Kiss?
All of those artists-- and eight more-- will have the chance to join the institution's ranks in 2010. The Rock Hall's official site has announced next year's nominees. And they are...

ABBA
The Chantels
Jimmy Cliff
Genesis
The Hollies
KISS
LL Cool J
Darlene Love
Laura Nyro
Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Stooges
Donna Summer

Some sort of KISS/LL Cool J/Stooges mashup is messing with my brain right now.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is usually good for some drunken speeches, hilarious all-star jams, and watching estranged band members stand next to each other while gritting their teeth. Next year's 25th annual shindig goes down on March 15, 2010 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.
To be considered for the hall, artists must have released their first single or album at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination. Red Hot Chili Peppers are old.


the chili peppers ARE old.\

this makes me think that it will not be long before they come a knocking on SONIC YOUTH's door ,man

this is a good list.




but i hate that place.

the hall of fame museum is like 1/10th great memorabilia and stuff, and 9/10ths pandering to fucking pop fans who accompanied their rocking hubby/wife/boyfriend/son/girlfriend etc

so MUCH BULLSHIT.

their ramones exhibit weas great though, as was the old blues guitars exhibit. muddy waters first pickup!

i will go on record as stating that Jimmy Cliff's voice sucks the fucking high pitched anal leakage from phil collins ass. I cannot stand that soft singing fuck.

The Red Hot Chilli Peppers? Jesus cunting fuck.

i much enjoyed patti smith's performance of rock and roll nigger when she was inducted.

it was hilarious how much of that song they had to bleep out.

ABBA
No

The Chantels
Haven't heard, so cannot judge

Jimmy Cliff
Don't know this guy

Genesis
Maybe

The Hollies
All I've heard is Bus Stop, which I guess is an alright song

KISS
Maybe, but I think these guys are overrated in a lot of ways

LL Cool J
Sure, why not?

Darlene Love
Haven't heard of her

Laura Nyro
I know the name but not any of her music

Red Hot Chili Peppers
In their prime, these guys were pretty good, so I'll say yes

The Stooges
A must...I expect it will happen as a pity move for Ron Asheton's friends/family

Donna Summer
Why is disco being represented in a monument to a style of music it was in direct opposition to?

you're saying "why not" to ll cool j, but WTF to donna summer?


wat.



FUCKING SHAME ON YOU for not knowing who jimmy cliff is

I can tolerate LL Cool J but not Donna Summer. I mean, "Mama Said Knock You Out"? How can you not love that?

And no, I've never heard of Jimmy Cliff. I guess I'm just not as cool as the rest you.

he made a good movie.

he also made a lot of good music.


neither cool j nor donna summer (who made some brilliant disco records) are rock and roll, WHY THE FUCK are they going in the rock n roll hall of fame (maybe) then?!?!


abba are more rocknroll than they are.


abba are just brilliant.

the harder they come, the harder they fall, one in all


Stooges better fucking make it in.

Fuck RHCP. I'd like to have Anthony Kedis's head on a stick.

i like kiss. they're just a rock and roll band. people expect too much from musicians.

GO STOOGES. not that it means much if they get in, but still! gotta root for those motherfuckers.

i heard this same thing from some really grumpy dudes when i went there. except replace disco with rap. my eyes rolled. none of those genres are REALLY opposed to each other; they definitely interlock and mesh.

also: "i feel love"? how can you not love that?

(err... what, exactly, did darlene love do outside the crystals now...?)

Some Spector produced singles which are epic, but after that no freaking clue

they had to let in hip hop since it keeps the Hall relevant to the "kids" and since they knew that a HIP HOP HALL OF FAME wouled steal the thunder from their proceedings.
trhey got Run DMC, the furious Five and grandmaster flash in there. Public Enemy in 2 years!!! come on!

Kiss deserves it. they have rocked for the longest.
is ACDC up in that mofucker?

fuck genesis

Jesus cunting fuck.

Donna Summers? But still no Sonic Youth? What the shit...

She's older than SY.. they'll catch up to SY in the next 5 years I'd guess.

Yes Rob ACDC is in the hall

it would be AWESOME to see the crowd at that event have to sit through Burning Spear or Inhuman.

when metallica did their thang, the shit was loud!
