It is amazing 3 seasons went by without even one nomination for this iconic singer. He doubtless will make it in eventually. Posted by Timothy Horrigan on Wednesday, 08/26/2015 @ 17:40pm |
Rick Astley has a new album out. 50. He sounds like Elton John now, the current-day Elton John. Posted by |
Not gonna happen, but “Never Gonna Give You Up” should get a “back door” induction. Only because I want this dude to Rick Roll everyone for the HOF ceremonies soon as possible - he would make a lot of headlines for that. Posted by The Dude on Wednesday, 05/9/2018 @ 15:25pm |
Rick Astley had two hits. His two hits were "Never Gonna Give You Up" and "Together Forever." Those are the only Rick Astley songs I can think of. Posted by Brian Schonour on Friday, 07/15/2022 @ 21:43pm |
I feel like the meme Never Gonna Give You Up had became is really the only reason I think of for why Rick Astley should possibly be considered. Like all the covers and references and the rickrolling. There was the Barackroll in the 2008 election. There was the Ralphroll in Ralph Breaks the Internet. Astley did do a pianoforte version later on. I like to say there's an old english version out there. I feel like Together Forever was his only other big hit. But for any consideration would likely just be because he's the guy behind the rickroll. Posted by Austin Smith on Saturday, 08/23/2025 @ 08:32am |
Together Forever should be an essential song. Posted by The Towerman on Tuesday, 10/21/2025 @ 11:46am |
