The Stooges are nominees along with Metallica, RUN D.M.C., Jeff Beck and some other spags.
Assuming they get in, I look forward to hearing Iggy's speech.
Also, I hope everyone who voted for Aerosomith in 01 is voting for Run DMC. For better or for worse, they resurrected their sorry-ass career in the 80s.
And as for Metallica, yeah they suck ass now, but Puppets and Lightning still rule. I wonder if they will invite Newstead to play.
The Stooges better get it.
Fuck, almost every band that cites Stooges got in.
Agreed. Also Bon Jovi and Stevie Ray Vaughn were on the bubble and didn't make the ballot this year. Personally, I'd trade SRV for Beck.
how does Stevie Ray NOT make the ballot?
Because he was a glorified bar-band bluesman?
Although, since ZZ Top got in in 2004... What the hell, right?
The music itself might not have been anything super special, but I dunno, I think he was a hell of a soloer.
every rock guitar god is a glorified bar-band bluesman, except for the handful that are wannabe neo-bachs. what's yer point?

you know, if you put together an all-star "died in a helicopter/plane crash" band, it would rock pretty hard.

Lol, do you know how many fucking concerts I've worked and had to deal with the drunks on the barrier of the floor going, "PLAY FREEBIRD!" And it's like...a fucking Linkin Park show? :|
Though I'd have to admit if LP ever for some strange reason attempted Freebird, I'd have to give them a golf clap.
Do they really want them to play Freebird, or are they just trolling?
Edit: You know, if Chevy ever came out with a truck and called it the Chevy Freebird, it would be the best selling truck evar.
Back in the 90s, I was in a band that learned a 30-second ska-punk version of Freebird, which we would launch into any time some asshat shouted it out.
Good times.

Concerning Aerosmith: the Run D.M.C. resurrection doesn't count, because ever since that video, Aerosmith has been a shell of what it was in the 70's. Also, they don't do drugs. No junk, no soul.
As for Metallica, I'm all for inducting the first 3.5 albums into the Hall of Fame, so long as none of the band members are invited to the party. Except Cliff Burton -- maybe Run D.M.C. could look into resurrecting
him.
One would think they'd be more interested in ressurecting Jam Master Jay.
You can't resurrect a Homie, because if one of them came back to life, think about all the alcohol that would then be counted as 'wasted' after being spilled on the ground in his memory.

That's why I said "for better or for worse" The best thing they did post-Run DMC was when they covered one of their own songs, "Sweet Emotions" Although, I have to say, the blues album they did wasn't that bad.
Honkin' on Bobo was good because they only wrote 1 song on that album, which is the one song that sucks. I still contend that Aerosmith's problem is they keep letting other people write their songs. All the good ones are Tyler/Perry and nobody else.

When I was in High School we had this Flamenco guitar dude come in and play at an assembly. First things first, he must've been the only Flamenco guitar playing dude in all of Northern Maine. Anyway, at some point he foolishly asked for requests, so a bunch of us started yelling out silly suggestions like Freebird, Stairway to Heaven, Run to the Hills, etc. We did this again when the Christian Rock band played later in the year. No, they did not know how to play "Raining Blood" by Slayer.

Well also that they can't just play rock and roll. They've gotta work in all of the movie-sountrack pap and schmaltz into their music. I mean, the only way I could tell the songs apart back in the early 90's was to remember what it was Alicia Silverstone was doing in the video.
True. They keep trying to reinvent themselves to stay current, which is lame because everybody just wants to hear Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion, and Back in the Saddle on repeat. If they want to quit losing their career every 5 years and having to make more comebacks than Meat Loaf, they should just hit the fucking coke and write more spaced-out rock tunes.

Bump to update:
Insult to injury. The Stooges didn't get voted in (probably not a surprise). Class of '09 is Run DMC, Metallica, Jeff Beck, Bobby Womack, and Little Anthony and The Imperials.
Now accepting wagers on how long Lars' speech will be. Anyone?
Since this thread was started, Steven Tyler checked into rehab. So he's doing drugs and not writing music.
The state that Rock and Roll is in.
I think all these kinds of polls are arbitrary & stupid.
Every music mag dredges up a 'best albums of all time' feature and there's 70% material that you'd expect and then 30% trendy, current stuff, the vast majority of which will not stand the test of time.
Back in the 90s, every fucking album list included Oasis records, I bet they don't place in the top 10 or 20 anymore.
I'd still include Definitely Maybe in my top 100

Last time I saw a best ever albums list, Definitely Maybe was somewhere in the 2nd-5th range.
Too right. Great album.
Dunno if it'd make my top ten - way too many classics but defo 20-30 material
Yeah, but you're all OLD and shit.
Yeah and the rock 'n' roll hall of fame is some newfangled shit they just invented along with teletubbies and pokemons
Digimon and Boobah, you mean.

It's times like this I really wish I could still vomit.
It's inconceivable that Metallica is being inducted to the Hall of Fame before either Iron Maiden or Judas Priest, assuming of course either are ever voted in. The metal scene that sprung up in the 80s, including Metallica, was largely influenced by those two bands. And, two very successful bands at that.
The next class I'll be interested in is the class of 2010. Faith No More will be up as their first album was released in 1985. They are another band that ended up being very influential to a bunch of other successful bands, and will probably get snubbed because they were just a little too far off the beaten path.
So, it's 25 years?
Fuck, that means the LA Hardcore scene is eligible. Incidentally, so is Sonic Youth.
I want a pention to induct Black Flag into the Rock and roll hall of fame. Something about their incessent touring spawning the national hardcore movement and keeping alive during the WHAM! era
or (http://www.kevinbroome.com/images/blackflag.jpg)
Nickelback will be inducted before Sonic Youth is.

Ok, now you've gone TOO FAR!
...and anyway, Winger will get in before Iron Maiden.

The stooges deserve it, but only because Iggy Pop is really old.
The rest of them, I don't care... except Metallica, which should be immediately disqualified on the grounds that they've been around for 27 years and have sucked for 20 of those years.
Incidentally, what the fuck is up with Little Anthony and The Imperials? They guys that sang "Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop"? Srsly?

Metallica's credibility as a good metal band died with Cliff Burton. But I suppose, it is the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I'd even concede that if I had heard the Black album, without any prior knowledge of what Metallica had been, I'd say it was a pretty good Hard Rock album. I would offer no such excuses, however for Load, Re-Load, and St. Snare Drum.
Also, nice going: Ron Ashton is dead.
So, just like the Clash and the Ramones, they won't know the recognition they earned.

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking
and I've been wrong, i've been down,
been to the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head
scream "are we having fun yet?"
yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

Woah, that was like, really deep or something.
I want to stab Chad Kroeger in the face!
With tequila?
I want to use Chad Kroeger as a bat, and beat everyone else in Nickleback to a pulp with him.
Then I'd go hunt down their fans one by one. And also that fucko that decided to use "We all just wanna be rockstars" to sell crappy couches before Christmas.
UNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
haha rock and roll

Bump:
The Stooges are going to get another crack at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Along with Kiss, Abba, Donna Summer, Genesis, The Hollies, LL Cool J, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers

Only 5 get inducted and so here is my prediction:
Kiss
Genesis
The Hollies
LL Cool J
RHCP
When are they gonna let Eskimo Joe in?

ABBA
The Hollies
Genesis
Jimmy Cliff
and yes...
The Stooges
I bet Gene Simmons is pissed.
Is there some sort of rule that one of the guys has to die first, so they'll never receive the recognition they deserved?
RIP, Ron Asheton.
So, the nominees for the class of 2011 were:
Alice Cooper
Beastie Boys
Bon Jovi
Chic
Neil Diamond
Donovan
Dr. John
J. Geils Band
LL Cool J
Darlene Love
Laura Nyro
Donna Summer
Joe Tex
Tom Waits
Chuck Willis
The inductees are: Alice Cooper, Neil Diamond, Tom Waits, Dr. John, Darlene Love and a couple other spags.
Of course it's a gigantic sham, but Cooper should've been in long ago, and as much as I can't stand him, Diamond probably should've been in awhile ago too. Though, I would've picked the Beastie Boys over him. Also good to see Waits get in.
Also, also Bon Jovi should never get in, ever.
I was pretty thrilled about Tom Waits getting in, myself.

Same. Good to see Dr John getting some love, too.
This reminds me I meant to buy Neil Diamond's new album on iTunes.
It's a pretty good group this year. Hard to really argue against anyone on the list. Should be a good concert too, I hope VH1 airs it again. Will be really cool to see the Coop perform with the original band.
