I know I'm partial to the area, but Hitsville U.S.A. (in Detroit) deserves a spot. Unless Greg F. was referring to that when he mentioned Motown Records. Posted by Joe S. on Tuesday, 06/21/2022 @ 20:09pm |

Cool landmarks, Jason! Hope all well with you. All fine down my way. Posted by Paul in KY on Tuesday, 11/15/2022 @ 05:28am |
If there is any place worthy of designation as a Rock landmark it has to be the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. The list of major rock acts that performed at the Grande between 1968 and 1972 and now reside in the Rock Hall is simply unbelievable. From Led Zepplen's first North American tour, to the Who's first ever public performance of their Rock opera Tommy, the Grande hosted all the best that the rock world offered over those 4 glorious years. If you don't already know the Grande story, then just Google Grande Ballroom and check it out. If you cherish the history of rock and roll, then you will surely come to embrace the idea that the Grande belongs at the top of the list of landmarks worthy of recognition in the Rock Hall.

The Historic Mid - South Coliseum in Memphis is definitely deserving of LandMark Status. Beetles, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen. Elvis home arena where he recorded an album. The list of R& R hall of famers that performed @ MSC is too many to list. Posted by Patrick Epps on Tuesday, 01/24/2023 @ 17:28pm |
I am an old hippie and I have heard many many bands in my 69 year career. I love FOGHAT and I do not understand how they can not be inducted into the Hall. I wish I knew what I could do to help them out. FOGHAT really should be in the Hall much more than many who are in now. That is my opinion.
