Who else should be in the Hall (http://www.rockhall.com/home/default.asp)?
-
For me one of the biggest omissions from the Hall is drummer DJ Fontana and bassist Bill Black. They were the rhythm section for Elvis up until the Vegas stuff. These guys practically created the Rock-n-Roll beat and they're skipped over every year. The last couple of years there have been petitions going around trying to get them added backed by McCartney and The Stones but to no avail. DJ's son is a good friend of mine. He thinks they're going to wait until he passes away and then put him in posthumously. If that's the way they do it, he said he's going to have a great time telling them to go take a flyin leap. :)

What is criminal is that Rush is still out and the Pretenders are in. Rush has it all, including an UNCHANGED lineup since 1974.
I visited the tourist trap in 1997 with my then fiance (now my wife), I was let down, they still let me down.

Yes is missing. Until Yes is in the Hall of Fame there can be no resolution to the current state of human affairs.
-
Jethro Tull? Emerson, Lake and Palmer? U2 is there ans JT isn't?... :confused:

actually if you believe yourself to be damned (given the plethora of statements to the contrary I do not think you do) you can always change that by making a simple decision. If you believe me to blessed I agree with you, I'm blessed beyond (way beyond ) what I deserve. If you think that you are blessed and I am damned I can only say in my defense that I'm not damned because I'm sure that Doctor Yo is not my neighbor. If he were that would truly be damnation. both of my neighbors are good people. :D

A bit of a threadjack, but to clarify... of course I don't think I'm damned. In fact, I find the idea of religion interesting in a historical sense, but absolutely non-sensical in the idea that we're living in a magical world of fairies and angels. As such, I don't think I'm damned any more then you think you're the current physical embodiment of millions of years of survival of the fittest type evolution from creatures who are the common ancestors of humans and monkeys. We're both set in our ways, and both think the other one is nuts, but that's fine.
You worry about the soul of someone you see who seems to be kind and smart but just doesn't get one very basic important thing about existance, namely 'God'. I, on the other hand, wring my hands because I'm seeing you, a nice, smart person who I genuinely think must be a great guy, following an obvious time waster that preys on the weak minded. You can't fathom how I can't see the obviousness of god in front of my own eyes, and I can't conceive of why a smart guy like you can believe in such a far fetched fantasy.
So.... we're fated to either get along congenially, or blow up each others houses.
I'm really more the 'let's get along' sort of guy, and I figure you probably are too, so let's agree to disagree, smokem peace pipe, and sadly shake our heads at the other person's obvious folly.
Best wishes from a 'live life to its fullest' finite life person to a 'spend this life preparing for eternity' type guy like yourself. May we all be satisfied with our choices.
...
Now, if I could only get Paul Harvey to read that, with a couple well placed advertisements, maybe I could solve world religious strife?

Agreed, missing Lynyrd Skynyrd makes this list pretty weak.

strange i was just listening to Mr blue sky:)- ELO should be in there.

actually I am (as i have stated many times before) a rather poor example of Christianity. I don't wring my hands over anyone else's choices and I haven't stepped inside of a church in over a decade. I'm fairly foul mouthed and consume ponds of beers annually. my Christian friends have long since stopped admonishing me about my sinful ways. but I am a born again Christian and inspite of my many failings I am actually improving in my walk with Christ (actually it's more like he's dragging me at times).
Mostly I enjoy swimming up stream. if you tell me the sky is celestial blue and i'm in an argumentative mood at that moment, well, we have business. oh and paul harvey blows.
:D
