Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2023

[dr wu]

At one point he mentions Supertramp not in.......everybody I know has a copy of Breakfast In America thats into music....so why are they not in. Instead they nominate Pink, Cher, Mariah Carey, Lauren Hill, New Edition and Luther Vandross.....none of them would know rock n roll if it bit them on the ass.

[Saiyan Rocker]

The Black Crowes - Actual Rock Band, so checks out

Jeff Buckley - Never heard of him

Mariah Carey - No

Phil Collins - HELL YEAH!


Melissa Etheridge - Heard the name, but that's all

Lauryn Hill - Never heard of her, looked her up. No, thank you.

Billy Idol - Yes

INXS - Again never heard of them

Iron Maiden - Yes again

Joy Division/New Order - Never heard of, but Wiki says considered Punk, so that is in the rock genre.

New Edition - Nope

Oasis - Yes (Although, it is soft. And Wonderwall is the only good song)

P!NK - I like P!nk, but she is pop; but some of her songs are rocking. I will say she deserves it more than some already inducted.

Sade - Don't know

Shakira - Why, just why.


Luther Vandross - No

Wu-Tang Clan - No thank you.

Can't say I argue with your picks ...not sure what Jordan has to do with the music choices but it is a meme of sorts...so.....
And you did get the 7 names correct (counting Pink) that should not have been nominated.
You get a big thumbs up.

Well....those are decent artists/bands for sure, but yet no Iron Maiden, Jethro Tull, Styx, Free, Bad Company, Thin Lizzy, King Crimson, Supertramp, etc...etc..all who imho deserved to be in long ago before many others.
