I undertook a project recently where we ranked the hall of famers in order based on their worthiness. Just the main performers and the early influences. Here's what we came up with. I would be interested who the 'we' are and what you consider 'worthiness' ! I think the general consensus amongst mus...

Most of the stuff on the list is on youtube.

The eligible non-inductees seem like they're in the same class as a lot of the people who made it in. Now that the Beatles and the Chuck Berrys of the world have already made it in, we're stuck at the part of the story where the focus is on who hasn't made it in and why not. The whole thing starts ...

We are also voting on acts that are eligible and are not inducted yet. Here's who we have inducted so far: INDUCTEES SO FAR EARLY INFLUENCES: (acts that had their first release before 1950) Big Maybelle Tiny Bradshaw Roy Brown Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup Delta Rhythm Boys Dixie Hummingbirds Li...

Some of the most popular acts have been acclaimed-challenged- look at Journey. The band has not even made it as a nominee for the Hall of Fame- its popularity should not be a factor in that, I totally disagree. Popularity is certainly one part of a band's objective accomplishments. Whether or not t...

Hell yeah! Do you like "Passion" by The Flirts as well?

Not really, but I like "(Don't put another dime) In The Jukebox.

I’m a little confused: If you never listen to albums, how do you hear songs that were never released? Or, throughout the years, have you only listened to singles, which are the ultimate “marketing ploy” by the record company? (By the way, in response to Jackson, you asked if there was anybody else ...

SavoyBG

Thanks for the lists. Hank Williams was amazingly prolific. His irony was pretty impressive. But, I thought you weren't particularly interested in lyrics. Do you remember the move "The Last Picture Show?" There were quite a few HW tunes in that soundtrack. I'm not at all interested in lyr...

And if that sounds like pretentious rambling, then so be it. That's how I feel about albums. I very much enjoyed your description of your views of albums. Thanks for being so eloquent in the face of a reader who is apparently unwilling to reconsider his present views and thereby expand his horizons...

Here's my top 25 songs (and a few extras) from each year of the 1940s MY TOP 25 RECORDINGS FROM 1940: 1. Romance In The Dark - Lil Green 2. Pennsylvania 6-5000 - Glenn Miller 3. In A Mellotone - Duke Ellington 4. Juneteenth Jamboree - Louis Jordan 5. Step It Up And Go - Blind Boy Fuller 6. Java Jive...

I have no doubt that around the time the album as a format was introduced it was just a huge marketing ploy. You're entirely correct on that account. Why spend make a little bit of money on a 45 when you can take a few singles, throw in a fair amount of filler tracks, call it an album and mark up t...

SavoyBG

I don't listen to albums. Never bought into that record company marketing strategy. lol wut The album first came around as a record company marketing strategy, to get people to spend $3.99 or $4.99 for an album rather than 79 cents for a 45. I don't buy into this bullshit that the songs on an album...

Part of why I don’t especially like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is because of Dave Marsh having been in charge (along with a handful of other guys) of what is great music or not. Not that I hate the guy, exactly, but he’s an opinionated bastard, as the back of his own book says. I don’t really l...

Yeah, that's what I suspected. I'm about 99% sure that's a false positive, I've read several reports linking it to Google Adsense. You could report it to McAfee, but I'm pretty sure they've already received plenty of reports. Henrik will look into disabling Google Adsense in any case, so that shoul...

Welcome to the forum! Your list is very interesting, but is nearly a complete 180 from a list I would make. I imagine you'd probably despise most of the music I like. Of course, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! I'd be interested to see what else you enjoy. I know you said that you couldn...

I like some 60s things that are from other parts of the world, like "Pata Pata" but I am not very interested in white rock and roll from foreign speaking countries. You may notice that I am very into the R&B vocal groups from the 50s. What you might refer to as "doo-wops." A...

I don't care for digital recordings much. The percussion has the crips electronic sound to it, and I don't like it. I prefer the acoustic bass to the electric bass, and I prefer the sax and piano combo of early rock and roll to the guitar oriented stuff. I have ZERO interest in lyrics, so I prefer ...

I certainly am not trying to disparage your list or your taste in music, as your list contains some of my all time favorite songs and contains a wealth of songs recognized as classics. However, I am curious as to why this list is so contained to a specific timeframe. In your entire top 1,002 songs,...

Who gives a shit? You're on a site that deals with that very thing. :mrgreen: I use the site to help me to not forget important records on lists I make, but to me, the lasting popularity of a song with the public is infinitely more significant than critical acclaim.

Not all acts have to be "rock" (even the R&R Hall of Fame isn't about only rock), but when you open voting to the public, there's bound to be some acclaimed-challenged acts that make their way onto the list. Like, I enjoy C&C Music Factory, but its album isn't exactly an acclaimed...

We focused, instead, on debuts that gave you the thrill of an act arriving fully-formed, ready to reinvent the world in its own image.

Why do albums count more for the artist rankings than singles? This is unfair to artists from before the album era, and unfair in general to black artists especially because albums did not become really big in the black community until long after they were big amongs whites. This results in a relati...

7. The Sex Pistols, 'Never Mind the Bollocks'

This is way too high considering that 7 of the 12 tracks had been previously released on singles, a few like a year before the album came out.
