When I was on the road doing sound (a lifetime ago) the keyboard player I worked with played a Hammond D with full pedaboard (it was a two piece listed here on PA.


I am glad to see Barbara Dennerlein on the list.
Her pedal work is impressive.
Jump to around 6:15.

Well, some halls of fame are worth mentioning:


This Hall of Fame includes artists like Keith Emerson, Brian Auger, Greg Rolie, Steve Winwood and Barbara Dennerlein.
One of my favourite meeting of the Hammonds.

 What's appalling is that they want to induct specific band line-ups in the HoF so they create awkward situations for musicians that can't stand each other anymore, can't work together or that have not seen each other in many years which obviously create a lot of unnecessary drama.

Why would anyone who actually cares about music, care about the RRHOF?
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Certainly a list that makes you want to stab screwdrivers into every living thing in a 40 miles radius. Thankfully they lost any credibility many years ago.

The fact that Carole King is not already in it shows that what a pile of **** this really is.

I think sooner or later most really well known and respected bands get in. I think eventually even ELP and King Crimson will be inducted.

True. I just hope that some of favorites get in before either they or I kick off.

Todd Rundgren, Tina Turner and Dionne Warwick all deserve to be in.

I'm delighted to say that I don't own a single album by any of those bands/artistes.
The only ones I vaguely like are Kate Bush, Iron Maiden and The Foo Fighters.
TBH, it's incredibly American oriented.
A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

There's a few classic rock/ arena rock bands who get snubbed pretty much every year too. It's not just prog bands. Also, unless the band is really well known like Iron Maiden, metal typically gets snubbed also.

Some very good musicians there :)

But I do miss Anders Koppel on the list:





For the freshman class they only included the 25 organ players that were most voted for, and since there was a tie for the 25th spot it became 26.

Yes...they manage to ruin the concept of rock n roll each year with their sh*te nominations.
I applaud Rundgren,   Bush, and Maiden but that's about it.

Over half of these are straight up just not rock artists. On top of that, who is honestly sitting down and listening to a Chaka Khan, Mary J Blige, Dionne Warwick or LL Cool J record start to finish? Half of these choices are just straight up pandering.

Kate Bush, Iron Maiden, Rage Against the Machine, Carole King, Todd Rundgren are valid to me

If I was desperate to fill out 2 more I would say Devo and the Foo Fighters
