9 comments so far (post your own)CM Punk and Wayan Brothers should induct them Posted by John on Tuesday, 08/27/2013 @ 14:11pm |
DAO probably wet himself watching Kiss pat themself on the back. Stick to reading the Wall Street Journal with your frat buddies. This music ain't for you asshole! Also it's funny to see Linda Ronstadt get inducted with the first clip being Mike Nesmith's Different Drum. The Monkees are legitimately a supergroup (like LC) Tork's Do I Have to Do This All Over Again, Nesmith's What Am I Doing Hanging Round and Dolenz's Randy Scouse Git are great songs that piss on the %$@#$ beastie Boys (probably another of moron DAO's favs Posted by Robt C on Monday, 06/2/2014 @ 02:46am |
They should be inducted eventually. Posted by BulmaPunkRocker on Sunday, 07/6/2014 @ 22:13pm |
LC Do no deserve. Posted by frog on Monday, 12/26/2016 @ 18:43pm |
ILC had more than one good album! All 6 of their studio albums rock in the their own way. They were the only band when I was growing up that looked like me, was accessible and whose lyrics were conscience. Pioneering to say the least! Exposure to ILC turned me on to 24-7 Spyz, Bad Brains, Kings X, The Family Stand... They let me know it was all right to be black and rock! It was all right. I hope they get inducted some day.

Love should definitely be inducted first. They are one of the best 60's bands ever. Posted by David on Thursday, 07/11/2019 @ 12:06pm |
Living Colour deserves serious consideration for the RRHOF on the merits of (1) Musicianship (Reid, Calhoun, Skillings, Wimbish, and sometimes Glover), (2) Each album was notably different, but with their signature sound, and (3) Intention songwriting and arrangements with a profound message. (4) The peak of their popularity was during the waning days of glam metal and before grunge, a somewhat forgotten era, (5) They were an influence for Rage Against The Machine, Posted by Michael on Saturday, 03/6/2021 @ 10:27am |
Living Colour of all bands should be in the RRHOF. They are one of if not the most important bands in our time. Stellar musicians and songwriters. Posted by Lisa Jones on Tuesday, 11/30/2021 @ 06:55am |
They definitely should be inducted. One of the first alternative acts to make breakthrough to the mainstream. Posted by power on Tuesday, 02/6/2024 @ 10:21am |
