Re: Neil Diamond - to be inducted into RRHOF

I love Cars but Molly Hatchet? They have to be the first southern rock band to hit it big that I can recall anyway...well maybe Lynyrd Skynyrd was first. I liked a lot of Hatchet stuff maybe because I played one of the earliest MPORGs and a pal from that game used Molly Hatchet as the name for her online character and the names of some of their songs as her other characters so I kind of got into Hatchet then. Boston, Kansas, 38 special, styxx all put out some classic rock songs

Jethro Tull isn't in RRHOF? That's a shame.... also Soundgarden and Stevie Ray Vaughan should be in there

Looking at some who are in like Blondie, Elvis Costello, Peter Gabriel among others, I think the guys I mentioned are as equally deserving

:( Boy, after last years RRHOF class got inducted, I thought the upcoming classes would have more than the "true ROCK bands" to be inducted.....this Class:

Paul Butterfield Blues Band :-? · Green Day :( · Joan Jett and the Blackhearts :hello1: ·
Lou Reed :-? · Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble :hello1: · Bill Withers :) . The "5" Royales
Award for Musical Excellence Ringo Starr :-({|=

GREEN DAY? :o Before Motley Crue or Deep Purple? Very disappointing......I expected better. Kudos to Joan.....last year show made an impression on her work.

WTH is going to take to get IRON MAIDEN inducted? :lol: :lol: Dream on Mr.EDGY!! :read:

Musical excellence? The RNR HOF is a complete farce. Ringo is a 'by the numbers' type of drummer.

Yeah, in my mind, the RNR HOF lost all credibility. They seem to vote in friends, or something.
