The R&R Hall of Fame ain't working

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." (Hunter S. Thompson)


The following acts are bona fide members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame:

Abba... Hollies.. Leonard Cohen... Bobby Darin... Miles Davis... Dion...Earth Wind & Fire .. John Mellencamp ...Ricky Nelson ... Run DMC... Moonglows .... The Flamingos ... Ink Spots .... Impressions .... Billy Joel ... Gladys Knight & Pips ... Madonna ... Brenda Lee ... Lovin Spoonful

The following acts are not:

Flying Burrito Brothers ... J Geils Band ... New Riders of the Purple Sage ... Marshall Tucker Band ... MC5 ... Stevie Ray Vaughn ... Peter Gabriel ... Rory Gallagher ... Roy Buchanan .... Thin Lizzie ... Fairport Convention ... Paul Revere & The Raiders.... John Mayall .... Kiss ... Yes ... Alice Cooper .. Los Lobos ... Little Feat .. B-52s ... Blue Oyster Cult ... Lucinda Williams ... John Hiatt ... Hot Tuna .. Mountain .. Johnny Winter .. Steppenwolf .. Zombies ... Deep Purple ... Jethro Tull ... Squeeze

Just saying...

Maybe it's time to start a competing Hall? Before all the the rap and hip hop artists become eligible.

It's just like the Grammy's, a major label fuckfest. Neither one stands for the best in music.
