| About Kraftwerk, Dave wrote: | |
| The Stooges just got in to the Hall of Fame so I hope Iggy Pop gives a shout-out to Kraftwerk, since he has cited them as an original influence. 1996 inductee David Bowie was a very early fan, he wrote a song "V2 Schneider" which is an homage to Kraftwerk's Florian Schneider. And of course Iggy Pop and David Bowie are referenced in Kraftwerk's Trans-Europe Express. At a party held in 1977 by Iggy/David, when Kraftwerk entered they were given a 5-minute standing ovation. Their music has been sampled high and low ever since sampling began. Lots of artists major and minor cite them as innovators and influences. I really don't see how you keep Kraftwerk out of the R&R HOF. | |

| About Cheap Trick, David Gill wrote: | |
| I'll never set foot in the "HOF" until CT is in. If they are going to be this ignorant they should create a Pop music HOF for the Madonnas and Donna Summers. Same mentality that makes the Grammies worthless. Ahh, never mind it's all about hype vs. earning your stripes the right way -touring, taking rock where it's never been before, influencing other great bands. They don't need the hollow award. Real rock fans know Clock Strikes Ten, Surrender, and Southern Girls alone puts them in a rocker's RnR HOF heart. Not to mention their showmanship.Boycott the RnR HOF. Better yet just ignore it altogether. It has less credibility than the Grammies. Best new artist 1979, A Taste of Honey ? over Elvis Costello and the Cars. Give D. Piddy CT's spot and be done with it. | |

| About Sex Pistols, Joe wrote: | |
| I just learned (admittedly, I am not much of a rock and roll historian) that Sid Vicious's death may not have been an accident; I only recently heard that his mother may have confessed (on her deathbed) that she administered the fatal heroin overdose because she knew he wouldn't survive in prison. Though there is probably no way to find out for certain, is there anything more to this than rumor? Thanks for all information you care to reveal. | |

| About Hawkwind, Mandy Witch wrote: | |
| Incidentally, Sam mentioned Silver Machine having balls and being loud for the time. John Lydon, a Hawkwind fan, said that this track was the origin of electronic dance music, it also went on to be the Pistol's encore. It's a classic track, a joyful mixture of Johnny and the Hurricanes vs Forbidden Planet, I love it, but it's among many classic tracks they have penned. | |

| About Hawkwind, Mandy Witch wrote: | |
| Lot of influences flowing through Hawkwind. As a brief example...Dave Brock originally played jugband blues, Nik Turner was in to jazz/rock 'n' roll, Lemmy loved stuff like Johnny Kidd & the Pirates, etc-etc. The electronic influence comes from Silver Apples/Floyd/Krautrock, but Hawkwind took things further by using a raw garage sound similar to MC5/Stooges and over-laying it with hot electronics, space-rock was born. They never intended to be a metal band, they are in a category of their own, all very unique, but if you listen to a lot of the stuff from the Space Ritual period you realise just how 'heavy' they were. They were a huge influence on Punk/Dance Music (Trance/Hard House/Hard Trance/Ambient) and no doubt they will be influencing further musical trends well in to the future, defo deserve a place in the Hall of Fame. | |

| About The Jimi Hendrix Experience, SpaceTrucker wrote: | |
| Hey Gitatzan, Have you heard the new Jimi Hendrix record Valleys Of Neptune yet? If so what do you think of it. I would be grateful if you would jump over to Rockchoice.com and read my review and leave a comment. Also I recently did an interview with Niklas Salvind of the Swedish band WOLF I want you to hear. It's probably not your favorite music but the interview is pretty insightful about the struggles of a modern rock band and we do talk guitars and amps, check it out. It would be cool if everyone from here checked it out. SpaceTrucker | |

| About The Immortals, Sam wrote: | |
| If we're going to bring classical and Spanish guitarists into it, what about Paco de Lucia? "Cliffs of Dover"... now that was cool! Really good playing there. Now, the problems with the RS list: -I dig GNR and Eminem, but they haven't earned a spot. Lacking a bit in the two I's, particularly when so many of the people who paved the way for GNR didn't get a spot. -Certainly Tupac's had an impact in the Hip-Hop world, but has that crossed over to the world of R'n'R? -Pink Floyd and Queen should be on the list, as many people have pointed out. Too much influence and importance to be ignored. -I love Nirvana, and I feel they do deserve a spot, but R.E.M. should without a doubt get a spot ahead of them (and probably someone one of R.E.M.'s contemporaries), and I feel like one of Nirvana's Seattle contemporaries should have gotten a spot as well. -I didn't even know Dr. Dre had an actual solo career. Isn't he mostly known for producing outside of NWA? -I don't care that much for Cream's music, but without them I don't think there would've been the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and possibly no Zeppelin, no Sabbath and no Deep Purple (they should've made the list over GNR.) For that they should be a bit higher. -I like the Eagles but since I believe country rock was already in existence, I'm thinking it's their massive popularity that got them a spot, and that alone doesn't do it for me (plus, "Hotel California" the song is massively overrated.) -Nirvana ahead of Sabbath, AC/DC, Cream, The Who, Bowie, The Allman Brothers, The Kinks (should be higher), Aerosmith... can't deal with that. -I also feel like 100 spots isn't enough, to keep the people that deserve it on and fit in all the people who should've made the cut (Deep Purple, Judas Priest, T. Rex, Thin Lizzy, Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths, NY Dolls, Alice Cooper...) Gitarzan, I noticed you commented on the Seven Ages of Rock thing. The Americans have actually picked up on the idea of Rock and R'N'R being different if you watch VH1 Classic's version* of Seven Ages of Rock. *I use the term "version" loosely with how badly they screwed it up (3 of the original episodes had some major flaws, yes, but that can sometimes be expected when you have about an hour of footage per episode, except for the British Indie episode, which was an hour and a half and thus the most insightful to me.) What VH1 Classic did was to use exactly the same content and interviews ours did, try to fit each episode into an hour, and when you include commercials that means that lots of key content is cut, and from the bits I watched meant that it was a completely mess. Plus, they censored any swearing and got Dennis Hopper to narrate, and he is hands down the most boring narrator ever. | |

| About Chicago, mja1951 wrote: | |
| I first saw Chicago at the Aire Crown theater and remember how they used to play for hours and played with an in-your-face attitude. Now is almost seems like they rent out the Chicago logo for dates, sometimes there seems to be more people that aren't in the band as there are members. I have to give it to Robert, he is the only one with the commitment to the fans that is always with the band. Just for comparison, listen to live versions of Free, Introduction, Dialogue or really any of the tunes from when the original band played and compare them to any live versions of the songs now. There is no comparison! The songs are so laid back and jazzy it could be elevator music. And for those who say well the band is older now, listen to current music from Paul Rodgers, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Robin Trower or many of the people who have been around for decades and still rock. | |

| About Linda Ronstadt, DaleShackelford wrote: | |
| Linda Ronstadt is a tremendous gift to the human music experience. Her voice can be heard in 120 albums around the world, her influence is grand and her nuances are subtle. No offense, but what is the rock n roll hall of fame but a bunch of baby boomer males/men - who benefited from their parents aparthied and now think they are the saviors and exploiters, uh, I mean exposers of people they still want to control. Linda Ronstadt is antithetical to what these men want a like. They can control Madonna, they'll throw crumbs to other women, they will use Donna Summers against Ronstadt, and when they start to lose cred, they'll nominate a person of color or woman. Same old male Anglo bs. They should move to England. | |
