moody blues vs rock hall of fame

Moody Blues yes. I think the Moody Blues are one of those love or hate groups. I loved them. But then i did those little pills.. you know which ones.. EVERYTHING breathed.. space city... 'those' pills..
Fo folks whom never liked that experience.. i can see why they might not like the Moody Blues.
And Fireball and Machine Head are really great albums too.
I never listened to KISS, but they certainly put on a great performance.

Not

>>the most greatest band ever<<
The Beatles

IMO why would anyone want inducted into such a silly mindless institution in the first place?
What you cant wait to be on display next to Madonna, LL Cool J, or Run DMC? How much more watered down does it have to be before folks quit complaining about who went in and who didnt. I left behind caring about the Hall when it left behind its credibility.

I recently posted on this topic over on the Radio Paradise web site, so I get to cut and paste and save some typing:

"RRHOF does not like "progressive rock" and they categorize the Moodies that way.

No Moodies, Yes, King Crimson, Tull, or ELP I'm pretty sure.

Procol Harum?

Good luck!

Nitwits!

I think they recently broke down and inducted Genesis.

I think Pink FLoyd is in.

THat's about it.

The further away in style you are from rock's R&B roots, the less likely you are to get in.

So much for innovation in rock.

Double Nitwits!"

We went to see the show "jersey Boys" the other day.

There was a line in there towards the end in reference to The Four Seasons being inducted into the RRHOF where the band member says something along the line of what an honor it was to be inducted to RRHOF by "the people".

I had to snicker at that line!

My understanding is that there is a small group of decision makers affiliated with the RRHOF that decide who gets in. "The people" have little to do with it at least directly as I understand it. Its more about what that group likes and dislikes it seems.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is in your record collection not theirs!
