Rock n Roll HOF Snubs

[Wazmankg]

I would say that Martha and the Vandellas, as one of the very early girl groups, was far more influential.

3 Dog Night was just along for the ride, and I think they let too many also-ran groups into the HOF.

Influential ? I guess. They were a harder-edged, not as successful version of the Supremes. They were considered more authenic.. so maybe on that count. I've always considered both just great girl singing groups. I think Three Dog Night should be judged as a singing group by the criteria used for other male groups already inducted. It is completely watered down.

You seem like a Tiny Tim fan.

Hillman and Parsons both had country music backgrounds so it was a good fit for both of them. The Flying Burrito Brothers were good but not on a par with The Byrds in my opinion.

I like the Byrds, but out of my 10 favorite songs by them, at least 8 are with Parsons.

And Sin City and Devil in Disguise by FBB are better than anything by the Byrds.

You are entitled to your opinion but I don't agree wth you.

All of my favorite songs are the ones without Parsons but I guess everyone has a different opinion on this.

Can't believe he made a living off of that.

Well that was during the psychedelic era.

Yes there are country, rap, jazz and pop acts in the HOF. It should be restricted to rock groups.

The RnR HOF is a joke. I'll be sure to post that every time this thread gets re-invented.

The list of legends and influencers not in is astonishing, and when compared with some of the garbage that's already in, it's dumbfounding.

Dio, Maiden, Priest, Ozzy, Motorhead, Steppenwolf, Jethro Tull, Scorpions, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, Fugazi, Jane's Addiction, Slayer, Megadeth, T-Rex, Pat Benatar, New York Dolls, Pixies, ELP, Faith No More, Flipper, Melvins, Black Flag, Devo, King Crimson, The Weather Report, Thin Lizzy, Husker Du, The Cult, Depeche Mode, Bad Brains, The Descendants, Kraftwerk, Harry Nilsson, King Diamond, MC5.....countless others, yet every year, some fucktard gets in.

Yes I did and it's a darn shame 3 Dog Night isn't in.

Steppenwolf is another HOF snub...

 

[Chewbaccer]

I’d put Little Feat in before Three Dog Night
