Please consider The Seekers for inclusion into the RNR HOF. My one comment is "who was #1 on the charts in '64 when the British Invasion was getting red hot?" Judith's voice is in the Top 10 women vocalists of all time. Posted by Bob Rich. on Wednesday, 12/2/2015 @ 23:05pm |
totally agree,there predominantly folk style is not a reason to be snubbed. there are many inductees who you could not call rock n roll. there style and sound was unique, they represented the entry of australia to the global music scene, they knocked the stones and the beatles off the top spot in the charts , they were until they stopped touring in 2013 the longest all original member band still touring up to that point, there music still sells today, they have a following of millions of fans ,, what other criteria do you need ,, janet friggin jackson is on the list !

The Seekers are Australia's contribution to rock and roll. Looking at all of the genres making up R&R the Seekers have certainly found a niche. Talented musicians, incomparable vocals (go ahead, compare Judith Durham to ANYone) and music that touches the soul. If it doesn't transport you SOMEWHERE, it ain't R&R. And this certainly does. Should be nominated without delay. We ain't gettin' any younger. The beauty of R&R? Has stood the test of time, as have The Seekers. And, oh yeah, from an American, R&R has no political boundaries. The Seekers time for inclusion into the R&R HOF is long since past due. Got my vote. Posted by charles miller on Tuesday, 02/11/2020 @ 17:44pm |
Why are the Australian group The Seekers not in the Rock and Rool Hall of Fame? Posted by James L. Martin on Wednesday, 04/29/2020 @ 20:53pm |
They should be in the RNR Hall of Fame they knocked the Beatles out of the #1 spot and also prevented them reaching the #1 spot. Any group that did that should be in the RNRHOF. One of the best groups of the 60's hands down. Posted by Bill G on Saturday, 07/4/2020 @ 21:23pm |
Rock and roll has such a broad and all encompassing reach so much that The Seekers blend of folk/pop/easy listening paved the way for many folk and rock acts that followed. In 1965 they outsold The Beatles and The Rolling Stones while knocking the Beatles off the top of the charts. They also filled a stadium in Australia with over 200,000 fans, a country record that stands till today. The original four members stayed with the band through their 50th anniversary tour in 2014 and the same four are still alive today. Their music is loved the world over till today. Their music endured the test of time and is still so relevant today. They are Australia's best gift of music to the world. Judith Durham has the most pure vocals ever heard. The Seekers must be inducted in the HOF. In that there is no debate. Posted by Bernie Ulincy on Tuesday, 08/3/2021 @ 20:25pm |
Seekers absolutely belong Judith has one of the best voices I ever heard......Put them in and The Monkees which is another crime Posted by Raymond Ja Ayling on Friday, 10/29/2021 @ 09:07am |
A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame without the Seekers is like a baseball hall of fame without Babe Ruth. Posted by Anthony P Passaretti on Monday, 05/9/2022 @ 21:02pm |
Rest in Peace Judith Durham, 1943-2022. Posted by Joe S. on Saturday, 08/6/2022 @ 13:34pm |
Yes, the Seekers belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So do the Monkees. Snobbery is prevalent on the governing board of the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. Posted by Gary Williams on Sunday, 08/7/2022 @ 10:12am |
The Seekers SHOULD be in the R&R HOF !! Posted by Philip Priemer on Sunday, 08/7/2022 @ 11:31am |
Oof. This one hurts. RIP Judith Durham. One of the most beautiful voices in music. Posted by Philip on Monday, 08/8/2022 @ 15:26pm |
