Priest is way more accessible than Soundgarden.
If TRex are one hit wonders, then what is Todd Rundgren?
Depeche Mode has 8 studio albums that hit the top 10 in the US and 6 singles that hit the top 40 (Enjoy The Silence hit the top 10).

Judas Priest is noise, good for when you're drunk at a party, but nothing more.

Rundgren is a 3 -4 hit wonder that had some serious influence on R&R in his role as a producer.

Depeche Mode belongs on A.M. radio.

Picture a 20 year old girl with sun-kissed skin and hair, an over-sized sweatshirt with shorts, a scrunchie on her wrist and a hemp and bead anklet, small tits and an exceptional ass.


That's who liked Matchbox 20, but even they don't admit it now.
Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.

Many groups used the Wrecking Crew on their recordings and not just The GrassRoots.

My point is that they were a producer's creation, had all their hit songs written for them, and many of their best songs performed by session musicians. Who are you inducting into the HOF? The guys that wrote the mediocre album cuts and toured?

There are many groups in the HOF now that didn't write their own material and used session musicians. The Beach Boys used session musicians on many of their recordings.

My argument is that they shouldn't be.

They were created by a record producer and two songwriters and the music was largely recorded by studio musicians (The Wrecking Crew). Hard to take them seriously as a HOF act.
@Guns N Guitars loves bands that sat around while the wrecking crew recorded their shit. At least he latched onto another mediocre band this time so we don’t have another year of whining about Paul revere and the raiders getting “snubbed.”

I prefer real musicians get in, not cover artists, puppets and karaoke singers.
That shipped sailed a long time ago. It's too late to change the rules now.

Does Collective Soul have enough songs to be anyone’s favorite band of a decade? That annoying ass Heaven Let Your Light Shine Down is their only song I can name

There’s at least one other you’d probably recognize. December... sounds like Shine. It’s almost too fitting for G n G. Hopefully it’s all just part of his troll act and there isn’t someone that predictably simple floating around the mean streets of Wisconsin.

It's really a toss-up between Third Eye Blind, Semisonic and the venerable Hootie, and his merry band of Blowfish.

Feel like we need to toss Crash Test Dummies in the ring here.
