Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame -- how'd I miss this?

[piney61]

Okay how the balls did I miss the official Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame inductees? Seriously, where the hell was I? Mehh anyways it came out and the inductees this year (keep in mind this is basically bands who debuted in 1984/others who have waited and got in eventually). The inductees this year are: Metallica, Run DMC, Little Anthony and the

Haha, the only band I was excited about was Metallica. I've seen them live a handful of times going back like...13 years. No one would ever guess that I'm a big fan of theirs, but they put on a hell of a show.

I dunno, I've just never really been into Metallica. I had a friend who LOVED Metallica and even got me to like a couple songs of theirs (I don't hate them, I just don't like them too much) and as long as you keep your fans happy and put on a great show, I got no complaints (well lately Metallica has been a little on the douchey side but whatever)

Yeah I'd say that is probably the most egregarious of all. That one is just....WTF. I need to find a list of some snubs to look through. I know some are like Lou Reed, The Cure (If not for them, even if you may see it as a bad thing, there wouldn't be emo music), Tom Waits, Cat Stevens, Peter Gabriel, Neil Diamond...hell even Chicago but I am talking about old school Chicago. But then again some people took forever to be enshrined like Bob Seger so who knows.

I love hearing that Run DMC made it! I still remember exactly when and where I was the first time someone played me a tape of this new thing called "rap," and it happened to be those guys.

Some debuts that are noteworthy

I am seeing The Cult and Megadeth for 1985 debut albums.
