At least Genesis made the list - they are at least close to the gnre, if not part of it...

Yeah I also forgot about the Bannana Splits, the Groovy Ghoulies and the Archies, they are all from the Hippie generation....

Yet again, no love for Rush. Hard to believe.

So when will everyone's beloved damn yankees make the list?

Bands/Acts that will make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame well before Styx:

- Bananarama

- Kelly Clarkson

- The Bay City Rollers

- UB40

- Ratt

- Jared & company singing the 5 dollar foolong jingle

did I miss anyone ?

-Quarterflash
-10cc
-Josie and The Pussycats
-The Brady Kids
-Gomer Pyle

"did I miss anyone ?"


Tom Bodette (will leave the light on)
William Shatner
Lorne Greene
Bobby Goldsboro
The Rutles
Josie and the Pussycats
Whatever group sung on the orginal scooby doo mysteries
Milly Vanilli
Scooper and the Double Deckers
The Wayouts (from the Flintstones)
"she bang" guy from American Idol
CW Mcall (Convoy)
The Monkees w/ Nesmith
The Monkees without Nesmith
The Cowsills
The Marketts
and the Partridge Family with both versions of Chris, can't wait to see Danny Bonaduce's acceptance speech...

I can't believe the Moody Blues are not in there, what a joke. I think Neil Diamond should be in the Hall as well, if he didn't have his horrible 80's catolog he might be considered.

Definitely he will get in before Styx. And probably before Journey.

Wouldnt it be great if ( and this is a BIG if ) somehow one of the collection of bands that are being ignored finally got in....instead of accepting they gave a big F.U. to Jan Wenner and his band of idiots ?

I love it, I could see Nugent doing it...

Actually Genesis has been ignored for a long time and I am quite shocked that Jan Wenner would actually want them in. Maybe Peter Gabriel has enough spunk to do it.

Zan will make it there before Styx.

The Wayouts & Hi Fi both deserve it.

Gowan fronted the Wayouts from 71 to 73. Thats why Tommy & JY recruited him. It gave Styx the street cred they sooo desperately needed.

Hi Fi was NOT a square. If that rumor did not circulate he would have made the RRHOF already!!!

The Wayouts RULED. I think it was their trousers....


Sorry, but Kiss is a joke to me. Them before Styx? Journey? Cheap Trick?

Seriously stupid.

All three of those bands you listed opened up for KISS.

All three of those bands didn't reach the success that KISS has.

Those three bands you listed were mainly successful in the U.S. KISS is an internationally successful band.
KISS played to far more people in far more countries than those three bands.

KISS also influenced far more musicians than those three bands.

I agree, but Genn and Paul would have to KISS Jan Wenner's ass and you know that ain't gonna happen...

Ya know , the 70's was such a long time ago......does anyone remember if Cheap Trick, Journey or Styx has to resort to Gimmicks like elaborate make-up, spitting out blood, etc to get their music noticed ?

My memory must be failing me, because I cant remember any of those bands having to do that........I keep trying to find my Steve Perry, Robin Zander, or Dennis DeYoung action figures and lunch boxes, but they are nowhere to be found

LordofDaRing wrote:I agree, but Genn and Paul would have to KISS Jan Wenner's ass and you know that ain't gonna happen...

Gene and Paul absolutely can't stand Jann Wanker. They've called him out in the press multiple times. See what Gene has to say about the Rock And Roll Hall Of Shame at the end of the "KISS Symphony" dvd. The Rock And Roll Hall Of Shame is nothing but a hippies' social club. It's run by Wanker and other people from Rolling Shite magazine. If they don't like your band they'll try to keep you out.

With KISS it's gotten to the point where everyone in the industry knows they should have been inducted in 1999. The longer they aren't inducted just makes Wanker and his friends look like the idiots they truly are.

Nobody wants a Steve Perry, Robin Zander, or Dennis DeYoung action figure or lunch box.

RE: Cheap Trick

They're full of gimmicks. Throwing KISS records out to the audience during "Surrender"; 5 neck guitar; two pretty boy rock stars and two guys that look like your weird uncle that you were warned not to be alone with.

RE: Journey

What's up with the pyro they were using on the "Frontiers" tour. I wonder where they got that idea from?

RE: Styx

I guess you never saw the "Paradise Theater" and "Kilroy Was Here" tours. A bit theatrical, wouldn't you say?

yes, and all those bands owe a great debt of gratitude...........

To Alice Cooper.

Credit where credit is due.

Paul and Gene the dancing machine made billions with a few buckets of paint ,a scoop of fake blood,a few pyros,silly outfits and maybe 10 OK songs.

Substitute The Beatles for Alice Cooper and you would be correct.

10 o.k. songs?

They've sold 100 million lps worldwide.

They're the American rock band with the most RIAA gold lp awards.

KISS was signed to Casablanca Records due to their music. Neil Bogart, who later found out that KISS wore makeup, tried to convince them to drop the makeup.

It's all about the music. Anything else is just icing on the cake.

"a scoop of fake blood"

"Who said it was fake" (G. Simmons)

Needless to say, Kiss belongs before some of the other "artists" that reside in the Yawn Weener hall of fame. Patty Smith? Get Real. Naturally so does Styx, Journey and about every other band mentioned.

And look where Kiss is now...Guess it worked out pretty well for them.

The reason there are no Steve Perry, Robin Zander, or Dennis DeYoung action figures is because no one would ever want/buy Steve Perry, Robin Zander, or Dennis DeYoung action figures.

That being said, Zander is awesome, DeYoung needs to rejoin Styx.

If quantity equals quality,yes you are correct.
Main thing is that you are happy with the product.
I have seen Kiss 3 times and and first time was OK,but must admit that I felt ahem a little underwhelmed the last 2.
Tell you what.I'll see if I can find my Hot in the shade album and give it another go.
