So Rush has been nominated for the Hall of Fame http://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-meet-the-2013-nominees-20121004" rel="nofollow - http://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-meet-the-2013-nominees-20121004 The following quote is from http://www.ctvnews.ca/entertainment/rush-nominated-for-the-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-1.982846" rel="nofollow - http://www.ctvnews.ca/entertainment/rush-nominated-for-the-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-1.982846 An excerpt, albeit a longer excerpt than I should use, from that article posted under fair dealing/ fair use policies:
As a Canadian, sorry to be so unpatriotic, but go Kraftwerk! It's nice to see Rush nominated too (I know many will say, it's about freaking time). There's a number of acts for PAers to get excited about. |

^Yeah, and where's Jethro Tull? Where's King Crimson? Just taking a quick look at some of the artists who are in, and who's not, should make it clear to all fans of rock that RaRHoF is just a big, fat joke. It's not something which should be taken seriously. -------------

Personally, I'd very much like to see Kraftwerk nominated for their first trail blazing albums Tone Float, l, ll, Ralf & Florian and Radio aktivitaet, - but I sincerely doubt it. I am almost certain that they're nominated for their later fully electronic albums which I happen to adore as well. BUT we're talking rock n roll hall of fame here right?.....?
Considered for those first albums, Kraftwerk remain one of the most important acts in the development of what later became 'Krautrock', which again had a huge impact on punk through their more motorik laden outfits such as Can and LA Dusseldorf. Kraftwerk is basically where all of that started, and that should be the sole reason for including them into this imaginary castle in the clouds. Not a later more popular version of the band, that by then had completely abandoned the rock mould. Seems rather daft methinks... Also: Big shout out to The Paul Butterfield Blues Band!! I love East West. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

I know it's been said a few times before and this post of mine would be redundant, but ... here it goes:
And there ain't no f$#king way Kraftwerk are gonna have their spot in the RnR HoF. And they ain't gonna be there on the ceremony. C'mon ... you know Hutter and Schneider. They are too clever for that. They have their own opinions and values. I'm pretty sure they'd be clever enough to refuse to show up.

King Crimson are definitely deserved of the Hall of Fame but I mention Kiss becuase of their influence to hard rock - most artists cite them as a major influence, and they virtually owned the period between 77 and 81 they were so popular they ruled the world. It all went pear shaped when they cut the hair and released Elder, tho I liked it. Then they took the makeupoff and it was downhill from there. The fact they are still together and have a new album shows their longevity and they are still quite popular. -------------

I'm just so glad that RUSH are getting more respect and appreciation than they ever have. I also have thoroughly enjoyed the recent RUSH documentary movie, BEYOND THE LIGHTED STAGE. An absolutely amazing movie and it kind of brought a bit of a tear to my eye because RUSH was the band that started it all for me in terms of my deep love for prog and it's many sub genres. I am honored to say that RUSH was my gateway band to prog.....lots n' lots of prog!! 
Oh and FYI I've watched BEYOND THE LIGHTED STAGE nearly 10 times already. I'm nuts I know.

Maybe some day, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame voters will take their heads out of their behinds and acknowledge that the early seventies concert scene was dominated by acts like Yes, ELP and Jethro Tull.
Once they admit true prog acts (Gemesis only got in because they became pop darlings), they might stop being the Rock & Roll Hall of Shame (or Hall of Lame). ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

Rush has had far more commercial success than both King Crimson and Yes. Aren't they in the top 10 all time for total album sales for a rock band or something like that? i.e. they have more "fame" than either King Crimson or Yes. -------------

RNR HOF reminds me of the TIme's list of the "Most Influentual Women", whenever that was?

Rush WILL be inducted because of the public vote. If they don't get inducted, Jann Wenner will lead the way to crap bands like N.W.A. or the Marvalletes, which had no influence in Rock and roll. Same case for Deep Purple. But I also want Kraftwerk to be inducted, even though they are electronic, they are influental and innovative in the new wave and the progressive sub-genres.

Not to mention Donna Summer. Not voting in Deep Purple before voting in a disco star, a rap star, and a movie jingo star (I guess, I really don't know what Randy Newman does) is pretty stupid. Maybe these all fall under the rock umbrella, but I've never considered them to be rock artists. Although I think that I do remember someone saying that Donna Summer actually has an album that might qualify as a prog album.  -------------

I'm with you, in that all I know Randy Newman to be famous for is the main theme songs for all three Toy Story movies, and maybe light comedy movie at some point. Yes isn't inducted yet, and they've been around longer. But I find the RnR Hall of Fame has 0 credibility.

An OK year. Still better than the past year. And maybe why Deep Purple and Kraftwerk are not inducted is because Deep Purple said that the RnRHoF is for old men, and that Kraftwerk would not give a s**t about the award and that both band are maybe disliked by the commite. But Rush being inducted sure rocks. Now for the other inductees: Heart: They were a great female rock band, and the fourth most deserving inductee in my opinion because of their early albums. They changed rock n' roll. And they proved that women can write great rock songs and can rule a band. Some of their albums aren't good but they deserve to be in there. Randy Newman: Ok, he's a great composer but IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME !!! He isn't rock n' roll. Public Enemy: OH !!! Another rap band. Adding a very bad choice this year. Donna Summer: An important disco artist that isn't rock. Albert King: An important forgotten blues man. So, in the list of deserving artists (that is my opinion): Yes: Rush, Heart Borderline Yes: Albert King No: Randy Newman, Donna Summer Don't believe the hype of this artist (that's a big NO): Public Enemy I say fourth for Heart because they are ten times more known than Procol Harum

| Rush are okay---there is a sameness to their sound that bother's me---but in keeping with the joke that is the Rock and Roll hall of fame---the fact that prog pioneers like Yes are not even considered seems strange to me. I mean would Rush sound like they do if Yes hadn't come before them? I mean even Rush has admitted that Yes were a huge influence when they were young guns coming out of Canada. |

So let me get this straight. RUN DMC is in, but not KRAFTWERK? The rap group is in, but not the synth wizards that created so much influence for metal bands to use more keyboards in their overall sound??? What kind of cosmic bunny hole did navigate into? What the hell is happening? ------------- Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣 |

Rush has a much bigger fanbase than Yes. I would love to see Yes inducted. ------------- Poseidon wants to Acquire the Taste of the Fragile Lamb - Derek Adrian Gabriel Anderson, singer of the band Geneyesontle |

Kraftwerk were not a rock band but they had a huge impact on rock bands to use electronics in their music. Just look at their album covers. Donna Summer had a good voice but wasn't as influental as Kraftwerk. Their music is unique, experimental and fun. They are deserving. ------------- Poseidon wants to Acquire the Taste of the Fragile Lamb - Derek Adrian Gabriel Anderson, singer of the band Geneyesontle |

| The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is the stupidest idea in the entire history of stupid ideas. What's next, an Artists' Hall of Fame? Will Rembrandt get in, or won't he? Go Van Gogh! We can have cheerleaders in uniform and stadiums with marching bands. I say this, having once found myself in Cleveland and accidentally wandering over to what turned out to be the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. What the hell, I thougth, and had a wander in. Cool place to visit. That's not my point. Call it the Rock & Roll Museum. But a Hall of Fame? Perish the idea! Ugh, Americans!!!! |

| Guys, please, give it a rest. RnR Hall of Fame blows four characters, and there's absolutely nothing we can do about it, OK? |

| ^ So did a few other artists/bands. Maybe that's just how RnRHoF folks planned. Now, if Rush got in on 12/21/12, that would be something. |

You know something, I totally agree. I don't care anymore. The whole rock and roll hall of fame concept is so inconsistant and doesn't make sense because it's run by monkeys. Actually the progressive music awards is where it's at. Rush beat out Nightwish's Immaginarium for album of the year. Now there is something to cheer about. ------------- Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣 |

Very cool for Rush. I approve (Heart as well). That Deep Purple was rejected is bogus. I do not approve.  ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Happy for Rush. Actually, I'm happy for Public Enemy too. They're not rock, but the precedent was set years ago (arguably from the start) that the voters don't need to vote in rock bands.

I feel the same way. While I don't care for non-rock acts getting into the HoF, Public Enemy getting in is okay by me. They were cool in their own way and very influential and actually very intelligent to top it off (unlike today's rap/pop candy crap). As long as Rush got in, I'm happy (yet, I also would've been fine had they not, since they'd been snubbed for so long). ------------- http://gamercards.exophase.com/xbox/user/MillsLayne/" rel="nofollow">  ht |
