    • Has anyone mentioned Robert Johnson yet? Surely the gawdfather of all we listen to??? Hope not too controversial. If anyone has mentioned him.... Well done!

    • I agree , a Hip Hop Hall of Fame would be the ticket....I have'nt seen the complete list , but , there's so many non - Rock'n'Roll artists. Woodie Guthrie's in there. That's cool , but is Leadbelly? Are Jimmy Rogers or Gene Autry in there for being the first (Known) White Country singers to incorporate Blues in their repertoirre , back in the 20'S.   I'm sure George Jones , as well as Johnny Cash and Hank Williams , is in there. But , what of Buck Owens , Hank Thompson , Bob Wills ,Tennessee Ernie Ford? They brought the Rock. OK , they've got a Country Music Hall of Fame, but so many Country artist were crucial in the evolution of Rock'n'ROLL.....I can't say Rap did the same thing......From RAp ANDhIP hOP , WE GET KORN , BEASTIE BOYS, Eminem , Kid Rock.....yeesh.  Also Louis Prima should be there ,if he is'nt (I doubt he is.) aalong with THE TRENIERS , only the first real Rock'n'Roll band , Wynonie Harris , Roy Brown , Amos Milburn..........

    • Shame they shut the fans out, as they made the band who they are. It begs the question of how they choose their nominations and inductees. Inducting NWA or Public Enemy has an element of mission creep, which I think a hip-hop hall of fame could rectify. The Genre's big enough in size and popularity to warrant it.

      I'd rather see GG Allin, The Smiths, The Sonics or The Cramps in there.

      Meters , I don't listen to much , but , I can respect the idea, tho' there's a lot more acts to consider before you get to them.....KRAFTWERK? I like 'em , to a point , but , they have WHAT to do with Rock'n'Roll ? I'd say Suicide and Silver Apples have more to do  with it......

      The thing , too , is that Kraftwerk's had more influence on Hip Hop than R'n'R.

      Yeah , NWA and Public Enemy , I don't get that at all. Believe me , I caught some grief for openly admitting I did'nt like Rap or Hip Hop. I have to hear it EVERY DAY , except days when I stay inside.  I don't make anyone listen to Rock'n'Roll , or Blues , or Country , or whatwever has real instruments and people at least trying to sing......

      I can get behind Albert King and Deep Purple . Others , I don't hate , but , could'nt get behind. As if we have a voice.

      Oh i'm coming, i'm coming for you!
      I'm coming, I'm coming for you!

      2. I don't know how that goes

    •  CLAPTRAP PROBABLY SURMISED THAT THE JAMC WERE'NT "PROPER GUITAR PLAYERS' like he....when his departure from The  Yardbirds opened the door to real innovation. He was all right with John Mayall , I thought ,but , Peter Green was better (And the sky is blue , and "American Idol" is a crap program.).

      I love JAMC, but why would Crapton slag 'em off? Wonder what Slowhand would have made of Primal Scream?

      dave said:

      I assume that someone has already contributed the Rod Stewart story of our youth, so I won't mention that.

      How many Tablespoons go into a quart, anyway?

      Here's one that will only appeal to the hardcore rock and roll fan...

      The Jesus and Mary Chain were slated to appear on British television w/ Eric Crapton. They had just gotten new guitars, but didn't like the colour, so they took flat black cans of spray paint, and gave 'em a new paint-job backstage, strings an' all!

      Clapton was supposed to be so appalled that he gave the guys a tongue-lashing (I can just imagine what little effect it had on 'em, staring at him w/ 1000 micrograms of Love coursing through their bodies, haha!).

    • I only remember , a friend of mine told that story to his PARENTS. His mom said "That would take about FIFTY MEN!" , THEN SHE RAN OUT OF THE HOUSE. I MADE THAT LAST PART UP.

      THE JAMC SHOULD HAVE TOLD CLAPTON , "BUT , YOU'VE BEEN PERFORMING IN BLACKFACE FOR YEARS !".

    • THE CHESTERFIELD KINGS "Up and Down"

      One of my personal favorites from a musical and quality production standpoint. Call it rock n roll. Call it garage. The sound quality is amazing. My pet skunk told me so.

      to KK, you´re not seriously comparing Jake Bugg with Justin Beiber, aren´t you?

    • I USED TO SEE THOSE AT OSCO. i LIKED THE CARTOON COVERS , BUT , i ONLY HAD A VAGUE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED IN THE '60s , And , IT WAS ONLY A FEW YEARS EARLIER , FOR ME. I ALSO FIRST SAW "WHO'LL SAVE THE WORLD....THE MIGHTY GROUNDHOGS" LP WITH THE COOL COMIC ART AT OSCO.

    • Even w/ the Payola scandal, music from '55 'til '67 was loaded w/ super stuff!!

      The best DJs alone made listening an experience! Most of us here are too young to have heard 'em. For instance, I came of age in the early 80s, when Empty Vee was starting its rise to ubiquity (but does any self-respecting kid nowadays watch that crap?).

      If you can find the Cruisin' series it would be well worth your while. Going from '55 up 'til '71 or so, they take a top DJ of that year and give you ads, songs, and disc-jockey patter. The sleeves were comics depicting that year, illustrated by Dick Royer, and the liner notes  give you news for that year. Really cool...

      My fave volume is 1962, from Dallas with Russ 'Weird Beard' Knight (who just passed away). Damn near everything he said rhymed, and he never paused for so much as a breath.

      Check it out.

      Stuff like the Wailers 'Tall Cool One' made the charts, Tri-state smashes, and regional one-off singles would snowball into minor hits. Good luck finding that today!

      {Grouchy Old Man voice} The record industry and the Hippies killed off the cool, and the fun.
