Re: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

That's the issue I have with a lot of Rock Hall pundits online, is that they do not explore the music of the other artists they do not know well, and go based entirely on their assumptions. And I bet they would really hate it if someone did the same thing to their favorite nominee. It would be just ...

Re: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame


It would be good if you could at least be more selective about the links you post. We already know that every year, rockists will complain about the Hall considering artists that don't fit comfortably into the '70s guitar band mode. In one of the videos, the host didn't even think that INXS was ...

Re: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame




If I were voting with this ballot, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Mariah Carey, and Wu-Tang Clan would get my vote. Oasis, P!nk, and Sade would most likely be the other three I'd vote for.




Add Phil Collins and Shakira and we have the same top artists. I think both of them are more ...

What purpose is there in linking all these angry rant videos on here? No one's going to watch any of them.

Re: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame


Jeff Buckley is truly great, but I don't understand how they could forget about his father. Tim Buckley deserves to be in the Hall of Fame just as much as Jeff.


Tim Buckley doesn't have the lasting appeal or the popularity really. He has very limited name recognition, mostly connected to either ...

Re: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

He is way ahead of the Black Crowes though. Maybe I should have called them the biggest head scratcher on the list.


I think The Black Crowes have one of the weakest cases for induction of this batch of nominees, as was the case last year. They had a couple hit records, their most enduring song ...

Re: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame


Feel tying influence to innovation specifically is more of a ddd thing, the more casual usage would be as a synonym for inspiration (or effect) which I think a lot of notable artists cited Buckley as.


Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Thom Yorke described Jeff Buckley as a significant ...

Mariah Carey

Re: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame


I find Jeff Buckley to be the biggest head scratcher on the ballot. If an artist is going to be inducted mostly for one album, I think it should be a more commercially successful album than Buckley's or more influential. If they're going to nominate an artist mostly for acclaim, why not Sonic ...

Re: Greatest Songs of 2025

I was going to ask if "Anxiety" by Doechii is really a 2025 song, but it looks like it was originally a 2019 song that she re-recorded in 2025, so I'd say that counts

I would maybe switch "True Believer" and "Parachute" for Hayley Williams, unless you're basing those positions on year-end list ...

Re: Top 100 Albums of the Year (2010-present) (Revision Version)

I'm still looking for feedback on the Top 100 I posted last week. I'm planning on sending this list to Lew around the end of the week.

After this is up, I'll send him the revisions to the 2010s lists that I posted in here a while back.
