Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Loses ALL Credibility

[fringey]

For me, the HOF really lost it's way when they inducted Michael Jackson in 2001, but I still had hopes they would get their heads out of their butts. Unfortunately, they inducted Grandmaster Flash this year. Yep, a RAPPER! Not only that, there are reports that GMF got less votes than the Dave Clark Five, but one of the directors of the HOF felt they couldn't go another year without a rapper, so ignored the vote! This is truly outrageous. Bands that are truly deserving are missed every year, groups like KISS, Alice Cooper, Blue Oyster Cult, and so many others. Bands that were different and very influential. Yet, Grandmaster Flash makes it in. I can only hope that, someday, VH1 actually has a Rock Honors museum, honoring only real rock & roll performers like they did this past year. I don't think the HOF can ever gain any respect ever again.

Oy vey... That is sad... I'm still a bit frustrated that Weird Al Yankovic isn't in the Hall. He's actually a talented musician. His "Dare To Be Stupid" is the quintessential Devo tune, and I don't think that Devo was involved in its production. Oh well. That's what I get for living on the fringe of 'society', if one can call it that.
