[Warham]

Glad you like the new one, Empyre.

This RNRHOF thing is bs. When bands like Van Halen and KISS don't get in on their first shot it's just plain sad. When Prince gets on the ballot and in before VH gets the mention that's total bs. They need too look at the charts or something.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Boy George will get in before VH does.

A couple of years back Richie Valens was inducted into the HOF. The HOF choose Ricky Martin, who was hot at the time, to do a tribute to Valens, singing some of his music. They choose Martin over Los Lobos who had covered Valens before and who I'm sure the family would have wanted. (Martin is Puerto Rican, Los Lobos Mexican-American) I never had much respect for the Hall but lost whatever I had when they pulled that stunt.

not bs at all...prince is a freaking musical genius. the guy is amazing and an unbelievable guitar player. charts dont mean anything...if they do you are first in line when britney, n sync, backstreet, and aguillera are inducted since they have sold a shit load.

Prince was signed to WB about the same time Van HALEN was, and their debut albums both came out in early 1978. I have no doubt that if Eddie hadn't turned Van Halen into a fucking bad soap opera, they would have been inducted along with, or possibly before, Prince.

[Antman]

I think pat Benatar should get in. Having said that, Blondie should get in before Benatar but has never even been on the ballot. Not only was Debbie Harry one of the most influential female, she was a major piece of ass back in the day. Blondie rules.

[Panamark]

I love Blondie and Pat Benatar.

But Debbie Harry is not in the same league as Pat Benatar.
(In vocal range anyways)

Benatar would have to be the best female Rock vocalist of
the last three decades. She is great !
I hope she gets in.....

[Dave IS VH]

Black Sabbath should be in the Hall of Fame. They wore one of the first metal bands along with zeppelin.

[Panamark]

Yeah the Sabbs should be there.. But Ozzy fucked up....

[Viking]

That flash-in-the-pan Simple Minds over VH? Man, the RARHOF has turned into nothing but a fuckin' sham........

[Warham]

I blame Van Halen more than the HOF for them not getting in. First-ballot bands get in on the first ballot.

well, anyone who would bite a head off a bat is pretty fucked up.

I heard from someone Ozzy is so fucked up from the years of drugs, He can't remember the words to his own songs. He needs to use a screen to help him with the lyrics during his concerts.
