TomFest 576 Report post Posted January 2, 2012 Considering who is in the Hall, I think there are several that should also be there. Heart Chicago Rush Kiss Moody Blues Zombies The Monkees Yes, The Monkees. I know they take a lot of heat for being the "pre-fab 4", but obviously they sang everything, and by the time of their 3rd album (which went to #1), they were writing and playing most of the songs. And hey, most other bands also used studio musicians in those days. You think the Beach Boys played their instruments on their records? No way. That was a collection of great studio musicians in Los Angeles known as "The Wrecking Crew". The Monkees should be in!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somewheredowntheroad 20 Report post Posted January 2, 2012 I think more women should be inducted so -- Carole King (as an artist, already in as a songwriter) Pat Benatar HEART I also have an afffection for... Leon Russell (not as a sideman, but as a performer) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick 156 Report post Posted January 2, 2012 I sure wish I could subtract. 1988?? 1. Traveling Wilburys 2. Nirvana (1st single was in 1988) 3. The E Street Band 4. The Zombies 5. Cheap Trick The Wrecking Crew is a great choice!! A year ago, I would have agreed with The Monkees. They've always been my guiltiest pleasure on record. But this summer I saw them live and without question, IMHO, it was the worst live concert I've ever seen. They were backed by eight very talented musicians who covered for a shocking lack of talent.

kelly 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2012 I think Bill Clinton should be in the rock & roll hall of fame for his excellent campaign song choice that directly affected Fleetwood Mac getting back together in the 90's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rick - you're right in that the current product called The Monkees is a disaster. They're mostly clowning their way through a show. But I can't hold that against their inclusion in the R&R HOF, because of all those great songs they had back in 60's. Mike Nesmith was arguably the most talented, and he won't go near this "reunion" thing. I believe they outsold the Stones and Beatles combined, in 1967 - and that was going against a little record called Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. A pretty decent effort by the fabs. FREE THE MONKEES!!!! :003: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
