The Tubes are an excellent band with a style bands can only dream of. Just 'cause you don't have a "greatest hit" or played on the radio, doesn't mean they are not worthy. It's the large majority of their body of work that stands up to anything that has been put out by other musicians / bands.
excellent, excellent songwriters..."Love's a mystery"...Amniesia....all of "Remote Control", "Outside,Inside"They are a GREAT band and deserve recognision. Please !! Induct The TUBES !!!

Just saw the Tubes for the first time since the 80s. They are all really talented players, especially drummer Priarie Prince and lead guitar Roger Steen. Their 80s pop hits kind of overshadowed their earlier work, which was incredible. Download the album “ What do you Wantt From Live” which was recorded in London in the late 70 s for a taste of how tight they are live. The sound quality is excellent, and the playing is top notch. IMHO, they deserve at least a nomination.

The Tubes were one of the best bands of the 80s & 90s. I saw them close to 20 times live, and every show was great. Who could forget seeing Quay Lude? the 2 foot platform shoes, The di*do hanging out of his thong, and pukeing in a bucket on stage. they paved the way for countless groups, and they deserve to be considered for induction into the rock & roll HOF before any more rap groups are.

Have never seen them. One of my all-time early 80s favourite bands.

Finally saw these guys up in Cinn back in December. Great show! Played 2 sets. 1st set was the Completion Backwards Principle in order and 2nd set was other stuff. Still 2 original members. Lead singer was having a great time up there. Voice still good, although he must be in his 70s.

Sure glad I got to see them! Sorta weird that the essential song "She's a Beauty" is like number 7 on my list of great Tubes songs.

Rest in Peace re Styles, vocalist, 1949(?)-2022.

Rest in Peace Rick Anderson, bassist, 1947(?)-2022.

The Tubes at Bimbos ranks as one of the best live shows I've ever seen.
There are bands with half the creativity in the hall. The tubes absolutely belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

These guys were amazing years before the 80s. The music was always unique. Nobody sounded quite like them. And their shows were practically updated Vaudeville. So immensely talented. Even if a particular song didn't move me, the musicianship did.

It's long overdue, but with Vince Welnick, Rick Anderson and Re Styles all dead, it's going to be a sad reunion.

I don't buy the more tweet at least as all performer inductees. If so the hall has a prestige problem

HOF the tube's should have been considered a long time ago

It doesn't surprise me that this group, albeit worthy, has not been considered for entrance into the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame. Their lead singer, Fee Waybill, has left bitter taste in most who have worked together with lol him. Prior musicians, crew members, Sound guys, etc.. it's sad, as most remaining members are such sweet people.
