Congratulations to Neil Diamond for finally to be inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame on March 14, 2011.
http://rockhall.com/inductees/

He is one of my favarite singer/songwrite and was became a fan when I first bought his Taproot Manuscript and Hot August Night album in while at UH in the early 70s.

i remember listening with headphones on and album over in front of me, the below beginning of his Hot August Night LP. For me this is still one of the best live album ever.

:D One person's opinion is another person's arguement.....I won't disagree with Neil Diamond's induction to the R&RHoF, because it is well deserved :hello1: although there are many other artists that should be there already that are not is another topic......but,IMHO the best recorded live album of all time is FRAMPTON comes alive.....the numbers are the proof....Kiss ALIVE also one of the best selling LIVE albums as well..but if your cup of tea is SWEET Caroline, than there's no point to this... :lol: :lol: By the way.....I have no desiree to go to Cleveland to visit this HALL of SHAM :roll: [-X :- :P

I think Neil Diamond qualifies as a rock-n-roller - he's from that era - he's "got the way to move you, Cherry!"

Madonna? I don't think so.

HBO televised this last night, and I was so bummed that KISS did not perform :cry: .....Bruce Springsteen did induct the E STREET BAND into the Hall of FAME- posthumous for the BIG MAN; Clarence Clemons :( , but their musical performance was fantastic! :hello1: ....CAT STEVENs :bootyshake: aka Islum or what eva is a total jerk! :evil: Who does he think he is? Elvis? :roll: But on the opposite side, is LINDA RONSTANDT! ( she's very ill, and did not attend) Sheryl Crow, Emmy Lou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, and Carrie Underwood paid tribute to Linda's music, and all of them were really great :hello1: But the night belonged to the TRIO who change the musical direction than any other generation that I could remember in such a long time...NIRVAVA. The two surviving members paid tribute to KURT COBAIN with female musicians....JOAN JETT KILLED! She was AWESOME!(She belongs in the HALL) With LORDE, and Annie Clark, that sang and did justice to Cobain's music. Kurt Cobain's mom, sister, and wife-train wreck Courtney Hole :roll: were there to accept NIRVANA's place in the ROCK and ROLL Hall of Fame.....great Class inducted! NOW bring in DEEP PURPLE, and the CARS!!! =; :-({|= :wink:

Joan Jet was the only one who did a decent cover of Cobain's song in the induction. She needs to be inducted if you ask me

:read: Jethro Tull definitefly......STYX, KANSAS, and Foreigner are cheap imitations of DEEP PURPLE, so nod to DP before them. Yes, I would say yes they belong, but Molly Hatchet and 38 special? Not before the CARS! :wink: BOSTON doesn't have enough music put out....5 albums? Or is it 4? BOSTON, Don't look Back, and remember the album with AMANDA on it, and the last one?
