Least HOF Worthy Bands/Artists

Posts: 6524 Threads: 37

Queen had great melodies and harmonies, VH did not. Ringo didn't do anything for drumming? Try to copy his playing or come up with parts for a song that are unique. Nobody sounded like Ringo. No, he's not my favorite drummer, Buddy holds that honor, not just because of his technique, but his creativity. Ringo definitely had that creative side and his timing is spot on.Ringo influenced more kids to want to play the drums than any drummer before or after him.

Maybe you read it with anger or something because Ringo was in the band that practically created rock n Roll. I don`t mean anything bad about the guy, just that he don`t stick out as a wild drummer. They should be the first band in the R&R HOF. Again,Queen did nothing for me.

You can like or dislike anyone you want, it doesn't mean I have to agree with you. In my book there's no comparison between Queen and VH. Queen had the whole package, VH had a fancy guitarist and a womanizing front man.I won't even say what I think about your Ringo comment.Coffee Break2

There shouldn't be anything wrong with not sharing the same taste in music.

I agree 100% with johnnyringo on this one. I have seen Ringo a number of times and each time I did, I appreciated him more! The gentleman is a metronome! Like johnnyringo states, he is also a very creative individual. Check out "Rain" or "Come Together". When I saw Ringo on the Sullivan show in 1964, I knew what I wanted to learn to play! After all of these years, I still deeply respect and admire his virtuosity! Brian

This is assuming everyone has the same taste in music as you do. I like the beatles music, back in the 60`s to today,...They invented the HOF for the Beatles. To me, a creative Rock n Roll drummer goes beyond 4 drums. 4 is all you ever really need, but that`s not creativity.

I wouldn't put Buddy Rich in with Rock and Roll. We`re not talking talent, we`re talking rock n roll.

I only said that Buddy was my favorite drumner, it had nothing with the R&R Hall of fame.

Btw, a good drummer doesn't rely on how many drums he has to be creative.

There`s a lot of truth to that, but not a lot of options.

Sometimes the approach to drumming is what differentiates the drummer.

I never cared for most Led Zeppelin tunes, but I can certainly appreciate what Bonham did for drumming.

Likewise, I think Stewart Copeland pioneered an entirely different approach to rock drumming: who else used his hi-hats and tiny splash cymbals to such great effect?

And I have never heard Phil Rudd of AC/DC play anything wild and fantastic, yet everything he plays is fantastically perfect for the tune.

So much of what we are discussing is subjective.

[SIZE="2"]Discussing who belongs (or shouldn't belong) in the R&R HOF made me research the criteria for membership. It's actually interesting...[/SIZE]

[SIZE="2"]ELIGIBILITY: Artists—a group encompassing performers, composers and/or musicians—become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first commercial recording. Besides demonstrating unquestionable musical excellence and talent, inductees will have had a significant impact on the development, evolution and preservation of rock & roll. Categories for inductees are...

Performers: This category honors bands or solo artists which demonstrate musical excellence. Such a descriptor includes (but isn't limited to) influence on other performers or genres; length and depth of career and catalog; stylistic innovations; or superior technique and skills.

Ahmet Ertegun Award: This award (which was formerly known as the non-performer category) honors songwriters, producers, disc jockeys, record executives, journalists and other industry professionals who have had a major influence on rock & roll.

Early Influences: These artists pre-date the birth of rock & roll, but have had a profound impact on music's evolution and its iconic artists.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Award for Musical Excellence: This award honors performers, songwriters and producers who have changed the course of music history. These artists have dedicated their lives to creating influential, important music infused with originality, and have achieved a level of timeless distinction.

The Singles: New in 2018, this category of recognition focuses on the songs which have established a permanence in our history and influenced rock and roll. These songs have had an immense cultural impact and merit a place in history.[/SIZE]

That being said, I'll concede that ABBA and other Disco-era performers qualified for their induction despite that fact that I can't stand that music, but how the hell did Cat Stevens get in there?

Totally agree it`s subjective. Music is an acquired taste. People like different styles. I shouldn't be labeled a bad guy because I didn't like Queen or the Doors,.. or whatever. They simply didn't fit my taste.

Who said you were a bad guy? Fake news perhaps?
