I like Nina quite well (only have a 2 disc 'best of') and I'm also surprised she's not in already.Low Down Low wrote: ↑06 Oct 2017, 1:54pmSurprised that Nina Simone is not already an HOF inductee. Not that I'm a huge fan or anything, but she's the only one from that list I'd describe as near legendary or enormously influential or whatever vague criteria they use to decide these things.
But I'd say Kate Bush is equally legendary and influential, albeit in a more contemporary sense. No Kate = no Maddona, Tori Amos, GaGa, and loads of less well known and usually far more interesting female artists than them. Kate's a true one-off original.

Also amazed the Meters aren't in already. They're New Orleans version of Memphis' Booker T & the MGs, though much less well known. One of the greatest backing bands ever.

Have always had a bit of time for Noel while disliking his music, dress sense and annoying voice. The other guy, like you say, seems a total twat.101Walterton wrote: ↑06 Oct 2017, 4:25pmNoel is a very amusing guy and would be good company.

Re: 2018 Rock and Roll HOF Nominations
While not much of a fan of Kate Bush, I wouldnt disagree with you. There will always be anomalies with these kind of set-ups but if you ask me, the fact that Green Day, I mean no offence to them really, but the fact that they've been inducted and not either Nina Simone or Kate Bush is one glaring fucking anomaly. Not to mention Hall & fucking Oates and I know, they've shifted a boat load of records but still...muppet hi fi wrote: ↑06 Oct 2017, 6:48pmI like Nina quite well (only have a 2 disc 'best of') and I'm also surprised she's not in already.Low Down Low wrote: ↑06 Oct 2017, 1:54pmSurprised that Nina Simone is not already an HOF inductee.

I made a sustained, active effort to try to enjoy them (I still think In Rainbows is interesting) delving into their entire discography and even working through b-sides and rarities and the like, but they're mostly pretty bad.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑06 Oct 2017, 12:42pmBah. OK Computer is a stone-cold classic. I'm far from a huge Radiohead fan—OKC was the last album I really dig, tho parts of the next were interesting—but the "Radiohead sucks" side come off as mirror-image hipsters.
Depeche Mode us a strange one for me. I like their early stuff (saw them live in 84), but the moment they got "serious" was when I lost interest.
