I propose a moratorium on the sports thing. Don't care for them, and this the 9:30 Club not ESPN. Huey Lewis named a record after sports…how much more un-rock'n'roll can you get??

I was champion at the warehouse I worked in around 1996. I think I was the Bills that year.
The Lovin' Spoonful, ZZ Top and Queen get into the RRHOF and the Sex Pistols have not ?? WTF ?? Anyhow, they usually pick 6 or 7 acts so this year I predict: U2, Pretenders, Sex Pistols, The Stooges, O'Jays, Randy Newman, Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I always like Walter Payton or Christian Okoye on Tecmo Bowl
patti smith
grandmaster flash
randy newman

and despite being a u2 groupie, i think they can wait a few more years.

btw, if you have not been to the rrhof, GO! i spent 6 hours in there last winter, and only 2 hours was the u2 exhibit. though you mnight to go during warmer weather and catch a football (if you like football). not much goes on during the winter, though it i got a 3 star hotel room for $60 and a an $80 ticket on southwest so it was cheap cheap cheap.

Not piss off..but it's just not a logical comparison. Especially with Limp Bizkit in that equation.
NEW YORK - Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five are among the nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame â?? the first rap artists to get that distinction â?? joining U2, Randy Newman (news) and the O'Jays on the ballot.

Getting his start as a DJ at Bronx parties in the late 1970s, Grandmaster Flash later joined with the Furious Five for the social commentary of "The Message" and "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It").


Other nominees include blues guitarist Buddy Guy, rockabilly pioneer Wanda Jackson, rock band the Pretenders, soul singer Percy Sledge, "Centerfold" singers the J. Geils Band and the late country singer Conway Twitty.


Previous nominees on the ballot: the Sex Pistols, Patti Smith (news), the Stooges, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Gram Parsons (news).


Singers of "Back Stabbers" and a string of other soulful hits, the O'Jays had their chart heyday in the 1970s. A singer of satirical songs like "Short People," Newman is now one of the Hollywood's most successful composers of movie music.


Musicians, industry professionals and journalists vote, and results of the 20th annual election will likely be announced in December. Artists are eligible to be inducted into the Rock Hall after at least 25 years have passed since their first record was released.

isnt Limp Bizkit the one who REALLY got that rap-rock stuff started? i mean we all know that Korn and others were first but they made it the "in" thing. Didnt Nirvana and Sex Pistols do the same thing?

Anthrax and Faith No More did it way before and much, much better.

Since when does anyone around here care about popular? I though popular meant uncool. :p
