2015 Rock Hall Of Fame Class Includes Lou Reed, Joan Jett, Green Day
Loooooooooooou!
Both The Smiths and N.W.A. were left off the list of new inductees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as Hall voters instead chose acts such as Lou Reed, Bill Withers, and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. They'll be welcomed to the Hall in April. "About 700 music journalists, performers and other industry insiders spent two months deciding on the six inductees," David C. Barnett of member station WCPN in Cleveland reports. Barnett adds, "Artists are eligible for induction 25 years after their first recording. Los Angeles soul singer Bill Withers' first album came out in 1971, but this is his first time on the ballot." http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/...jett-green-day |

Frank Sinatra never wrote a song. As a matter of fact, he felt he deserved writer royalties because if he hadn't sang the song, it wouldn't have been a hit (which is bullshit). The point was that music history is littered with successful artists who didn't write their own songs. The most important aspect was their interpretation of the song. Joan Jett may not had written some of her biggest hits but she certainly delivered the best interpretations, which connected with a world wide audience. |

But it would be weird to actually visit that place and see Madonna but not the band that wrote and performed "Smoke on the Water". |

If Bradley Knowles hadn't died, it's not too difficult to see them as one of the biggest bands in the world for as long as they stayed together.
We used to get calls at Uni all the time from people trying to get in touch him because they didn't know he had died before their hit record was released. |

People who bitch about who gets nominated for the rock n roll HOF don't appreciate the irony of how un RocknRoll it is to have a music HOF.
