The bar is demonstrably lower for men to hop over (or slither under). The Rock Hall recognised Pearl Jam about four seconds after they became eligible - and yet Chaka Khan, eligible since 2003, languishes with seven nominations. All is not lost, though - the Rock Hall is doing a special programme for Women’s History Month on her stagewear ...

God Pearl Jam are overrated

Ten is a great album, but I never got into their stuff after that. Eddie seems like a decent guy (yes, the bar is low), and I respect how he tried (but failed horribly) to take down Ticketmaster back in the 90’s.

[winter_lace]

Yeah, I think Ten (and Vs to an extent) are good albums. But I sort of soured on their nice guy image when I found out how poorly the band, and specifically Eddie, treated Dave Abbruzzese.

A terrific, sprawling (new to me) song from The Runaways, referenced in Courtney's article:

this song is so rad, it's like a punk psychedelic trip through hell

[nermal_kat]

It's terrific. I went through a Runaways phase around 10 years ago, but somehow I never heard this gem.

God this song fucking rules

[genbu_no_miko24]

A lot of those girls of the 90s are eligible or becoming eligible.

Britney will eligible next year. Spice Girls, No Doubt are eligible.

Destiny's Child became eligible this year.

[teaaet]

I swear to fucking god if any of those “artists” get in before KATE BUSH

[insomniachobs]

Not that I think Brit or the Spice Girls are in much danger of being nominated, but I can already hear the whining if they are.

because cis men can not prove their ~manliness~ and ~masculinity~ by being good at something if women are also recognized as being good (or even great) at the same thing. then, a horror, it might not be considered as strictly ~male dominant~ anymore and those pesky women will demand equal recognition of their talent. can't have that.

we know why Courtney
