Bands who will probably continue to be snubbed by Rock/Roll/Hall/Fame in 2023

I tried to like your post, but apparently you're an idiot.

I'm honored to be downvoted by an Iron Maiden fan



Black Sabbath is top ten ever



Iron Maiden fans pretend like they're something akin to Sabbath

It's just not a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They should rename it the Modern Music Hall of Fame and start a real Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Iron Maiden? frick them, they sucked

you suck

Grand Funk Railroad

From that list, Bad Company, Foghat, Grand Funk, and Tull should be in.

Paul Rodgers is arguably the best rock vocalist of all time.

I wonder if it hurts them that they were basically a cover band?

No LeRoux?

I’m down on your snubs with the exception of the Monkeys. Not sure they wrote or played the instruments on the recordings.

This is a poor argument imo. There are already several groups in the Rock Hall that rarely wrote or played instruments (if at all). Many from Motown, The Supremes, Four Tops, Temptations etc. Often the instruments were played by The Funk Brothers (Motown’s version of The Wrecking Crew). And even though these were vocal groups, the backing vocal were often provided by The Andantes, studio vocalists. This is little different from The Monkees. As time went on The Monkees played and wrote more and more. I haven’t looked into it but I wouldn’t be surprised if they ended up writing and playing more than any of the above groups in the Hall. I like The Monkees, am a fan, but even I’m not sure they belong in the Hall (Nesmith maybe for his entire career and his contribution to music video). But I don’t think they should be kept out because they didn’t write or play much when there are groups who didn’t either and no one disputes their place in the Hall.
