Future Hall of Famers

TockTockTock · 01-17-2011, 09:56 AM

So far I only think Nirvana should be inducted out of that list. I like Iron Maiden, but I don't see them as being revolutionary or anything. Linkin' Park, well... I don't see anything special about them. Don't know what Shinedown is. As for the ones in the 80's... Motley Cru maybe. Def Leppard was just famous. What does the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame go by in terms of their inductees anyways?

EDIT: This would be a fun topic to talk about. We can all explore into modern music and make predictions.

I personally feel that Iron Maiden are possibly the most important metal band of all time. They're really the ones that brought melody to the genre. I mean, if you listen to what metal was in the late 70s, and listen to metal in the 80s, I think you'll notice a massive difference, and generally traits that can be very matched up to what Iron Maiden was doing int he late 70s, and early 80s.

I know the difference. Black Sabbath and Blue Cheer sound very different when compared Iron Maiden. I was just unclear on whether or not Iron Maiden formed that sound that we all know of. It's good to know that they did something innovative.

Just think of Black Sabbath as the grandaddy of heavy metal and Iron Maiden as the father. They were the most influential band from the new wave of british heavy metal and a major influence on the future thrash metal bands of the 80`s and a multitude of other metal acts. For that reason alone they deserve to be inducted.

As said above the Hall of Fame is a joke, especially if they`re thinking of including a band like Def Leppard!!! Whatever next........Bon Jovi or are they already inducted!

It always surprises me when people mention Blue Cheer in the presence of other great bands, in this case in the presence of Black Sabbath.

Blue Cheer were by and large a very untalented band who just happened to play blues rock very loud, apart from their debut album which is ok, the rest of their discography is rather poor.

Linkin Park has been the most talented band of the past decade. Really I think there only competition is Avenged Sevenfold.

... i don't even know where to begin with this statement. There's far better music to listen to than Linkin Park and Avenged Sevenfold, trust me.

I liked their 2002 debut album Hybrid Theory, and Chester Bennington's vocals. But I don't think they did very much after their debut that amounted to very much musically, for my personal taste anyway.
I'll go with Chad Kroeger and NICKELBACK !
