The Rock And Roll Hall Fame will eventually include anyone who ever had their own placard in a record store LP bin.

I agree with Ian MacLagen, these bands deserve to be inducted seperately.
The whole thing is a joke anyway. Still no Cliff Richard, The Shadows, Status Quo, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Slade, Roxy Music, The Jam, The Smiths...
Well put loog droog. The Small Faces and Faces were two different groups and your analogy of inducting the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin as one group really drove the point home. Given the list of performers that "The Hall" have ignored (and inducted) over the years, the whole thing increasingly seems as a bit of a joke.Quote

Anybody who knows anything about rock n roll will tell you that he Small Faces were a very important group that should have been inducted the first year they were eligible.
"Whatcha Gonna Do About It" was released in 1965. That means the Small Faces could have been inducted in 1990. Steve Marriott died in 1991, and therefore could have accepted this award in person.
The HoF continued to ignore the Small Faces, and then Ronnie Lane died in 1997. Now there was just Mac and Kenney (and Jimmy Winston, who was replaced by Mac.) I guess they inducting them would have just drawn attention to the fact that the HoF already blew it.
This combination of Small Faces/Faces is the final insult. These were two different groups. Imagine a Yardbirds/Led Zeppelin induction. It's all too....stupid.
Hard to believe, but the RnR HoF may have reached a new low with this one.
If you've seen the Ronnie Lane documentary, you're probably aware that Ronnie should be inducted in the HoF three times: with the Small Faces, the Faces, and as a solo artist.

it always makes me laugh when people get upset that this guy or that guy or this band or that band aren't in the HOF and then they go and say that the whole thing is stupid and a joke anyway. if it's all a joke then why care if a certain act isn't inducted?

Cliff will never get in. Not popular in the States.

Few people outside the USA value it anyway, as they only induct acts that were successful &/or influential there. It's as if the rest of the world isn't important.
Agreed, No Deep Purple, Stevie Ray Vaughan etc etc?Quote

If I'm not mistaken, few people INSIDE the USA value it either.

Isn't there a Rapper's Hall of Fame for the nominated rappers? Why put rappers in the ROCK AND ROLL Hall of fame??
I've said it before, but Heart is one of the most overrated groups of all time. They were a novelty act with lousy song writing and screeching voices. (IMO, of course)
