Yes & Peter Gabriel nominated in R&R Hall of Fame

Yes but as I saw, the reason why Yes was nominated is partly because of an organisation founded by a democrat and a republican called Voices For Yes. It aims to induct Yes in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. But, if the fan's ballot would close now, Yes and Peter Gabriel, along with Nirvana, Kiss and Deep Purple would have all a fan's vote. So, Yes and Peter Gabriel would be really close to have a fan's vote that would count as equal as a "so called" expert vote.

I don't think that KC and Robert Fripp will ever be appreciated by the HoFShame, mostly because of his long history of problems with the recording industry, and the fact that the HoFS is more interested in their top ten format and fame to keep the money coming home, than they are in having to help KC/Robert take money away from their coffers.

 

This was one of the great issues in the early 70's here in America, and the bad publicity that was generated, saying that it was taking profits away from the record companies, as if they were the saints that deserved all the foot kissing possible, instead of the gigantic rips that most of them were! But since they were aligned with the media these articles always made the lesser bands look bad, with some really nasty reviews.

 

The difference is, that 30 years later, there is too much appreciation for that stuff they hated and they are in danger of making themselves a simple top ten Hall of F--k--g Shame because of it. I'm already betting that Cat Stevens will be ignored because of his religion, but Las Vegas won't do money on that!

 

I've said it before, that all the progressive websites need to come together and create their own awards and make a history of it, and show folks, how important the music is, because no one else is going to do it, and these acidholes are not interested in music. They are interested in how much money they got from it, and YES fits the bill, because they robbed them just as much as ... enough headitorials!
