I just read on WCPO.com that the 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees have been announced. The inductees included: Guns N' Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, Donovan, The Faces, and songwrite Laura Nyro (wrote "When I die" for Blood, Sweat, and Tears).

 

I'm not too thrilled with this group. Still can't believe that they have inducted KISS, Heart, Rush, or Grand Funk Railroad. :irked:

RRHOF is a joke. It's basically the guy that runs it and he inducts whoever sucks up to him.

 

That said, I would LOVE to make it to the museum in Cleveland someday.

I couldn't agree more!!

...at least The Faces are getting some cred.

RHCP very deserving and not having too wait that long. Can't be that many 90 bands in the HOF.

As far as the RRHOF is concerned, they are an '80's band. Their first album came out in '84, but they didn't hit it big until later. I'm pretty sure you're not eligible for the RRHOF until 25 years after your first album/single release.

Just wondering about that I knew there had to be some kind of time frame. RHCP wasn't really on anyones radar until 1991's Blood Sugar Sex Magic.

I find it a joke that Guns'n'Roses would get in at all, and I especially find it a crime that they would be selected before KISS or Heart. One album does not make a HOF career.

I'd argue similarly against Donovan as well. He had a handful of songs and a lot of famous friends...

Speaking of one album making a career, surely Peter Frampton isn't in, is he?

Nope.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a neat place. Don't really understand how they come on with there list of inductees. The Beastie Boys...really? If the Beastie Boys are in Peter Frampton has to be in.

Peter Frampton had one hit album. The Beastie Boys have been doing groundbreaking music for 25+ years. Bad argument, '70s guy.

I think Guns n' Roses are deserving.

 

I'm glad to see the Faces getting some love. Very underrated and underappreciated band. Never knew Rod could rock like that until I heard them.

 

I agree on Rush. They should be in the HOF.

I think it seems too soon for the Peppers, but good GOLLY I love their stuff, so I support their selection.
