gbear Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I am just happy George Michael got in. I think Crow gets in for being one of the early artists with songs playing on both country and rock stations. Her appeal was broad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spjunkies Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) The only people that should be on the list are the following imo: Willie Nelson RATM George Michael Crow Edited May 4, 2023 by spjunkies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Simple plan for Weird Al to be elected to the RRHOF. 1. Cobble together about 45 minutes of discount, knock off Black Sabbath riffs. 2. Put some community college freshman level, Mao bootlicking, emo screech “rapping” over these riffs. 3. PROFIT! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busch1724 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Love me some Panther....at any rate, how Crow gets in prior to some other on the list, I have no idea. Alice in Chains and Soundgarden should be in. I'm not a massive grunge fan, but they should be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) On 5/3/2023 at 10:28 AM, No Nonsense said: Missy Elliot Willie Nelson Sheryl Crow Rage Against the Machine Spinners George Michael Kate Bush Don Cornelius Bernie Taupin Al Kooper Link Wray Dj Cool Herc A couple of things. How is Sheryl Crow hall of fame worthy? Missy Elliot makes it on the first ballot? Both are in, but Barry White who career was more significant than both, still isn't. Glad the Spinners finally got in, but it would have been better if they'd been inducted while they were still living. There's only one surviving member of the original group. Chaka Khan deserves to get in, but as a member of "Rufus and Chaka Khan." George Michael shouldn't be in there, either. Bernie Taupin is in the Songwriters Hall Of Fame, and that's far more appropriate for him. Missy Elliot deserves a first ballot entry imo... 19 hours ago, PokerPacker said: Ninja Sex Party, too.

My issue is that there's some truly legendary artist that have been eligible for years. How does Missy Elliott leapfrog them? I mentioned Barry White. One of the most recognizable voices in all of music and he's still not in. Let's look at rap. How does she even leapfrog Salt n Peppa or MC Lyte as the first female rapper to be inducted. I'm not saying she shouldn't have gotten in, but on her 1st ballot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy’s influence on modern hip hop—both male and female—is indisputable. Artistically she is a tier or two above Salt n Pepa, and her music was far more disruptive to the genre and influenced more genres that SnP and MC Lyte. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Another great thing about Missy Elliott’s career is that she sold almost 80 million records less than George Michael. Which is pretty impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she is the biggest selling female rap/hip hop artist of all time and was the first female rap/hip hop artist to be inducted in the Songwriters Hall Of Fame. So there’s that.

I certainly am because it’s the HALL OF FAME. And yes, Missy’s career sales and FAME absolutely qualify her for inclusion, just as George Michael’s substantially greater sales and FAME absolutely qualify him. Easy peasy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, not the HALL OF RECORD SALES lol… If record sales were all that mattered we wouldn’t even need anyone to vote or even nominate artists…we’d just run down the sales charts. Some of the most influential acts in rock and roll history barely sold any records. Missy has been far more influential to music than George Michael was. And for me, level of influential is a deal maker/breaker when comparing one’s worthiness to another. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
