Help nominate the new hall class(week13-1998) Eagles, Michael Jackson, Scorpions, etc

[jtrichey13]

1997 gives us 6 new inductees. Thanks go out to our 14 voters. That is the most we have had in a while, and I hope that kind of turnout continues. Congrats go out to:

Electric Light Orchestra (not inducted in Cleveland)

Genesis (2010)

T. Rex (not inducted)

Yes (not inducted)

Uriah Heep (not inducted)

Thin Lizzy (not inducted)

Just missing induction this week were Jethro Tull and Nazareth. With 5 of the 6 new inductees having been shunned from Cleveland, we have really taken a big turn away from the Cleveland Hall this voting period. Which, in my opinion, was kind of the idea of the project, so I am pleased. The new 5 now give us 19 artists that have not been inducted to Cleveland. The complete list of Hall of Fame members we have elected:

1986
Chuck Berry
Buddy Holly
Elvis Presley
Johnny Cash
Jerry Lee Lewis
Little Richard
Aretha Franklin

Re: Help nominate the new hall class(week13-1998) Eagles, Michael Jackson, Scorpions,

Just something to consider as there are some old rock legends that we have not honored that I feel it would be hard not to honor. Some names for consideration:

Dion
Bobby Darin
The Drifters
Wilson Pickett
Gladys Knight
Bob Marley
Bob Seger

just something to consider. If it doesn't happen, so be it.

Re: Help nominate the new hall class(week13-1998) Eagles, Michael Jackson, Scorpions,

One thing this little exercise has shown me (I already knew it, but this has totally proven it)...

the RnR HoF, it if REALLY wanted to be legit, would need to change the number of artists it allows in every year. What worked for 1958 can NOT work for 1988. Simply look at the pyramid diagram of potential inductees from one year to the next. Letting in just a few every year while the number of new potentials grows almost exponentially is a `pyramid` that fails on SO many levels.
