In that you're referring to what he and his wife made plans to do, or does it mean that with respect to doing that with Jesus?

Oh, and by the way, Pin---k, what exactly does your observation have to do with the lack of RRHOF induction of various groups?

Trust me, Porko, everyone knows what I was referring to except for you.

It must be a brain thing. I can remember crap like every episode of Mr. Whipple and his toilet paper squeezing customers (including Mean Joe Green!) but can't remember two days ago when my wife and I made plans to do something.

Haha, how did you remember that? That's amazing.

Oh, that's better. I was worried for a moment.

I just searched Youtube for "Rush Drum Solo" and the first video I found had Neal Peart playing a drum solo as well as a tiny electronic piano with drum sticks. That is not rock and roll.

When Rick Allen lost his arm, he didn't even tell the guys in Def Leppard. He just showed up with one arm and was like WHAT and kept rocking. That's rock and roll.

You might remember Hysteria, the album that won them the award; it went 12x platinum. I don't know how many copies Pyromania sold, but if you say you've never played air guitar to Rock of Ages or Foolin', you're lying.

Def Leppard brought awesome rock from Britain to America, making both countries better.

Okay. I think they suck more than any suck has ever sucked, but I understand I'm in the minority here.

Nobody with a straight face can claim "Roll the Bones" made America a better place. Pour some sugar on THAT.

Well, Roll the Bones also sucked, yes.

I am quoting this so it gets another play. This is why I am announcing that I am back. I'm back, everyone!

Yeaaaah, but most of those are terrible.
That's your opinion. You're wrong, but that's your opinion.

Def Leppard? Scorpions? Come on, man.

Although I will admit, every time I realize INXS isn't in the rock and roll Hall of Fame, I get all choked up about it.

KISS should be in there for their music videos alone, which are works of art even though I find them a bit confusing.

It's kind of a joke, at this point. Is the problem that not enough people buy the albums? Or that everyone who buys the albums are nerds?

What's it gonna take? If the Beastie Boys are in (which they should be, no doubt) then Rush has to be.

by **AArdvark** » Thu Oct 04, 2012 3:30 pm

I can't believe that Rush has yet to be inducted.

Here's a blurb from the RRHOF:

"To be eligible for induction as an artist (as a performer, composer, or musician) into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the artist must have released a record, in the generally accepted sense of that phrase, at least 25 years prior to the year of induction; and have demonstrated unquestionable musical excellence.

We shall consider factors such as an artist's musical influence on other artists, length and depth of career and the body of work, innovation and superiority in style and technique, but musical excellence shall be the essential qualification of induction."

Run-DMC has already been inducted, just so ya know.

THE
OUTRAGE!
