2010 Rock Hall Nominee Thoughts
You'll get a deeper analysis of all the Rock Hall Nominees at Future Rock Legends
As for me, here are my quick thoughts:
2 years in a row, Stevie Ray Vaughan has been snubbed. Why?
Good to see people that should be in the Hall getting nominated for the first time: Kiss, Genesis, Hollies
Good to see Abba back on the list for the 2nd time.
Jimmy Cliff is interesting. Made a great movie, some classic songs. But why am I not moved?
But there are some weak nominees here: Laura Nyro, Chantels, Darlene Love. I'm no big fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
I do like LL Cool J.
The Stooges are way overdue. But that's the understatment of the year.
Of all the nominees I'm rooting for Donna Summer.
People who say Prog-Rock gets no respect. This Genesis is for you.
Among the missing nominees from last year: Chic and War.
I could go on for days about who else should get nominated instead of Nyro, etc. Like Gram Parsons, Yes, Chic, Spinners. But for now this is all I'll rant about.
