9 comments so far (post your own)The RnRHOF is heavily America-centric, so it shouldn't be a surprise that the Buzzcocks are not inducted. What a shame. Posted by Marth on Monday, 01/21/2013 @ 18:16pm |
Eventually, they will make it. But it might take a shameful six or eight or ten years. For better or worse, I bet they make it in before their punk peers though. Posted by Paul K on Tuesday, 01/22/2013 @ 14:51pm |
Deserving, but a lack of success/recognition in the U.S. hurts their cause. A real shame, because I think they're the most fun of the original UK punk bands to listen to. Posted by Sunking278 on Wednesday, 04/24/2013 @ 06:21am |
Now the Buzzcocks are in the running for the best Manchester band second to only the Smiths (whom will be inducted or I will personally beat the shit out of Jann Wenner). They ordered their contemporaries to stop putting safety pins in their ears and start learning to play. This eventually was detrimental to the punk genre but the Buzzcocks were brilliant nonetheless.

RIP Pete Shelley (4/17/1955-12/6/2018) Posted by Aaron O'Donnell on Thursday, 12/6/2018 @ 16:57pm |
Peaceful journeys, Mr. Shelley. Posted by DarinRG on Thursday, 12/6/2018 @ 22:17pm |
Wow, Pete's passing was quite unexpected. Have a good time rockin' on up there, man. Posted by Jason Dagotto on Thursday, 12/6/2018 @ 22:56pm |
R.I.P. Pete Shelley, now these guys NEED to get inducted. 3 arguably classic albums, and one of the greatest compilations of all time (Singles Going Steady is one of the best and most consistant punk albums of all time). Songs like “Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve), Orgasm Addict, Everybody’s Happy Nowadays, What Do I Get, Promises, and many more defined a generation and the entire punk era. There is no denying Buzzcocks’ influence, even on bands like Nirvana, who they opened for in the 90s. Let these guys in right now. Posted by Tyler Partnow on Monday, 01/28/2019 @ 10:54am |
I'm not sure how long it's going to take, but I feel like it's probable that The Buzzcocks will be inducted one of these days. They're a lot bigger in the U.K. than the US, which doesn't help them, but they really had such an influence on punk, especially pop punk. If we have later bands like Green Day, we should absolutely have The Buzzcocks. Posted by Quinn on Friday, 05/24/2019 @ 17:12pm |
