Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

firstjump · 12-08-2009, 06:20 PM

I just got this awesome Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Live dvd collection! Has anyone else picked it up? It's a three disc collection featuring performances, induction speeches, and other cool special features.

One of my favorite scenes is the performance of the Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There" performed by George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, and John Fogerty.

There's tons of coolness in here though, and I haven't even made it to the end of disk 1 yet!

There's a little more info and a trailer for the collection over at Amazon if anyone's interested.

^ Just what I was about to post.

Didn't they induct Eminem? Isn't it The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

The couldn't induct Eminem because you has to be 25 years since your first record before you are even nominated. They did induct Grandmaster Flash though.

I remember some blogger on Yahoo saying more rappers should be inducted. He made the argument that blues and country artists are in the hall, so why shouldn't rappers be allowed?

At that point my palm hit my face and I had to go shower off from the stupidity I had just encountered. I'm sure I don't need to tell anyone here that blues and country are two things that fused and developed rock and roll early on.

If we were to put it on the other hand - let's say there was a rap hall of fame... would inducting Led Zeppelin be smart just because funk and soul artists had been inducted?

Totally rediculous - and that's why the place is a piss stain.

And yeah, I just went off on something I've wanted to say for a long time that's totally off-topic and irrelevent... but still.

There are alot of things i would like to say to the ones that run the hall of fame. While most of the people that are inducted to the H.O.F. There are also alot that I do not know. I'm cool with not knowing every single band out there. As I scanned the list because of this list to see who all exactly is in the H.O.F. As i was reading through the names I seen a couple that left me scratching my head.

The first one up to plate is artist Ritchie valens which was inducted in 2007.
Recording career only lasted 8 months. He is also credited to have been the pioneer and forefather of CHICANO rock movement. And he may well be the person they give credit being. But I often wonder if the crash played a role on him getting inducted. I like his music but I just can't see it as H.O.F material. I would be glad if someone change my mind on this idea.

The next one up to plate is artist R.E.M which was inducted in 2007.
I just can't stand the band. That's all I have to say about them.

Next up to plate is the band "THE BEE GEES". They were inducted in 1997. I guess I can't stand disco is why I'm scratching my head on this one.

In 1991 the band Ike and Tina Turner were inducted into the H.O.F. Are you freaking kidding me. I wonder who Ike had to slap to get this. Anyone have any idea why they truly deserve this. Then please educate me on this debacle.

Anyone disagrees with me is more then welcome to educate me and let me see the light within this idea.
thanks
