this begs the question- why would anyone who ever listened to rock and roll care even the slightest little bit about this this bogus "rock and roll hall of fame"?
its more rock and roll to not show up at the pathetic little ceremony than to actually go.the fact that MC5 are not there and madonna is[seriously, fcking madonna] means it is actually living up to my name for it-"the rock and roll hall of lame"

They're one of those groups which I know of, without actually knowing their music.

The first time I ever heard "Kick Out The Jams" was from a band called The Presidents Of The United States Of America, whose self-titled album was one of the best of the 90's in my opinion. They re-worked the lyrics quite a bit.
Pearl Jam does a good cover of it too, only live, no studio version. This one from Brisbane '06.

Love the PJ, have to part ways with you on PUSA. That guy is doing kiddie records now. Good place for him. Did you get tickets for PJ?

Well, they fell off pretty quickly. The second album really blew and they faded away. But that self-titled album rocked I thought. It is pretty weird/quirky stuff, but I was a teenager so I liked it. And still do.
I did get Pearl Jam tickets, twice actually. I had fan club tickets for Dallas last Friday then went with my brother to Oklahoma City the next night and bought a pretty decent ticket off somebody. In OKC they played "Satan's Bed", my White Whale song. So I'm glad I went, I almost didn't go.

I snoozed & losed on the Seattle show. I've seen them so many times though, including small clubs in the early days. Budgetary considerations & such. Cool you got a White Whale. Going to NIN tonight & am very excited about that!

I'd love to see NIN again. I've only been once, in '95 on the Outside Tour with David Bowie. I haven't heard the new album yet but I bought it. The album cover is very reminiscent of The Downward Spiral era artwork which makes me kind of curious. I wonder if the music is at all similar. I was a huge NIN fan when I was 14/15 or so, around the time The Downward Spiral came out. I still liked them after that, but my musical tastes sort of shifted more towards guitar rock bands old and new. But there is some GREAT guitar on NIN songs, especially on The Downward Spiral and Broken.

"Hesitation Marks" is somewhat of a departure. I think its brilliant but I'm a pretty big fan of Trent's work. This cd is a little funkier. For your guitar jones, Adrian Belew is all over it & Lindsey Buckingham is on 3 songs! Sadly, Adrian bailed out on the tour but Robin Finck is back after Guns & Roses sojourn. He's got Pino Pallidino on bass & Lisa Fischer is doing back up vocal. Word is the lighting is revolutionary. I can't figure out how to post pictures but check out nin.com. I'd recommend the cd but its one of those that takes more than 1 listen to sink in. For me, that's the best kind.

I've been very curious to hear how Lindsey will fit in with Trent. I like both, but have a hard time imagining them together. I don't mind a departure, seems everything Trent does is a departure from the previous thing. The only thing I've never really been on board with was the Ghosts I-IV. It doesn't sound bad or anything, and it's an interesting concept, but I just can't listen to 109 minutes of instrumental/ambient music.

Hey, it's a nice little place to go to. They have some great memorabilia, including Eddie Cochran stage clothes. You could make a Hall of Fame out of who's not in the Hall of Fame. But it's not worth getting upset about. Their Stones exhibit (the permanent one) is sparse and poorly curated. But the Hendrix one is pretty good. Although I liked the MC5, there are greater groups, Jethro Tull, the Moody Blues, etc, that should gain entrance first.
nice to see something positive come from this silly idea thread.Quote

An important influence on bands like Motor City 5 are worth mentioning: Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, from the mid-60s, who developed a frenetically up-tempo approach to rock n soul, without which the likes of Bob Seger System, MC5, and Iggy and the Stooges might not have gotten the idea to play their music with such ferociously hyper rhythms.
Are they in the rock hall? If not, they should be as well....

That's a lovely idea, but it would probably just get merged into the "Favorite Video" thread.

The MC5 and The Stooges should be inducted at the same time.
