Rock & Roll Hall of Fame News

           The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominating committee offers up the following for induction into the prestigious Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2023 nominees, and I really don’t know what to say about this list because I’m wondering just why these artists are nominated at all when there are many others more deserving still getting snubbed by the lame committees nominating and voting for these artists. It's an ordeal to endure year after year seeing more contemporary artists getting in while so many of the older ones are not getting the respect they deserve.

The Spinners

Iron Maiden

 Kate Bush

 Missy Elliott

 Cyndi Lauper

 The White Stripes

Willie Nelson

 A Tribe Called Quest

George Michael

Sheryl Crow

Rage Against the Machine

Soundgarden

Joy Division/New Order

Warren Zevon

Really? I would not vote for any of the above artists until respect is given to the more deserving artists that helped shape the music of our lives. The 15 I listed below are more worthy than the 14 the nominating committee put forth.

It looks as though it’s more politically selected with regards to whom they could get to perform so they could raise the advertising ceiling for licensing and broadcast rights.

We live not far from the great  Rock & Roll Hall of Fame but we’ve still never visited this museum. It’s too pricey and so many artists there really don’t belong there and so many others are disrespected and missing.

Maybe someday these committee members will get it right, until then I probably won't get too excited about any news from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Even Ozzy Osbourne as a solo artist isn't in the Rock Hall, how lame is that?
