Cruel Summer is a kind of anthem. Trust me. Back in '86, I was in the Navy with a co-worker whose brother dated Belinda's twin sister. I was told they were fabulous people. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the latter, then the album deserves recognition, not the band. Because if there were other all-female rock acts that came before the Go-Gos who played all their own instruments and wrote all their own songs--they just didn't have a #1 album (or MTV to easily promote themselves), then I still wouldn't see why the Go-Gos are HOF worthy. Ane being nice makes no difference, or at least it shouldn't. 6 minutes ago, skinsmarydu said: Cruel Summer is a kind of anthem. Trust me.

They're in the HOF, right?...I'd go with them, too. (EDIT: apparently they're not in the RR HOF yet) Also, there's some band called Fanny, an all-female rock band that released it's first album in 1970, and their 2nd album they played all the instruments and wrote all the songs--except for one song which was a cover. This was like 10 years before the Go-Gos (never heard of them until now lol). Apparently a lot of all-female rock acts claimed Fanny inspired them in their pursuit of music--including the Go-Gos. There's been an online effort to get them into the HOF for years now--I found all of this while trying to find out which all-female rock act was the first to write all their own songs, play all their own instruments, etc, etc. I figured it would have been the Runaways but Fanny (and several other all-female bands) looks like they came even earlier. 9 minutes ago, clietas said: That's Bananarama not the Go Gos. 🤓 I thought maybe the Go-Gos also had a song called Cruel Summer lol...(I don't know much at all about them).

Captain Wiggles Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 The Go Gos are deserving of being in the HoF. Beauty and the Beat is a great album n quintessential New Wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Sports Hall of Fame debates I can understand. The Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame is a very cool place that you should visit if you get the chance. But the RnR HOF debates are silly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrell Green Fan Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I honestly have had no desire to go to any Hall of Fame. Memorabilia does not interest me, I could care less about Ty Cobb's bat or the ball that Tom Dempsey kicked 63 yards. I'm sure the R&R HOF has some interesting stuff in it but just not worth a trip IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I'd love to see the R&R HoF. Hopefully one day I'll make it just so I can see the flying hot dog. 🤓 Got to see some cool memorabilia at the Hard Rock in Atlantic City. Cash' revolver, Iommi vest, Rod Wood cape, MJ glove, Hot Rods gold mic, Hendrix guitar, Elvis' jumpsuit PJs n Rolls Royce. Butt the coolest thing imo........ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/03/us/california-oil-spill/index.html This makes me so incredibly sad. I go to Huntington Beach all the time with my dog, they have an amazing dog beach. There is also many lagoons and estuaries down there which have undoubtedly been affected. Oil is a disgusting thing. I realized we need it as a society to power our stupid vehicles, but I really hope one day we can move on from fossil fuels. It destroys our planet in so many ways. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
