8 comments so far (post your own) Queensryche one of those bands that causes much discussion on RRHOF. I feel myself torn on Queensryche. They recorded 1 of the best CD's of the early 90's with Empire. 5 star CD. No flaws in the album & had a monster hit with Silent Lucidity. My FAV off Empire would probably be Jet City Woman.

I think Queensryche reminds me of Rush in the intelligent song writing and talent of musicians. Queensryche is tough to classify. Prog metal heavy metal with an operatic type singer in Geoff Tate. One of the posters brought up a strong point about it's tough to classify Queensryche significance in who they influenced and their innovations. I'm still leaning towards NO after listening to Operation Mindcrime 2. But it would not surprise me if they get a heavy push in next 10 years. KING Posted by KING on Saturday, 05/16/2015 @ 13:14pm |
I think Queensryche is one of the most intriguing candidates for RRHOF. They are a group that might benefit from these new changes in the Hall committee. Say Deep Purple inducted in 2016 and Judas Priest in 2017. Queensryche would suddenly rise to the top of the hard rock/heavy metal candidates not inducted. Motorhead and Iron Maiden would be nice inductees around the 2020 year. Empire has to be 1 of the best 10 albums I've listened to start to finish. I also enjoyed the concept album Operation Mindcrime. Maybe, Queensryche were music visionaries similar to Al Gore years back on the environment and climate change. Starting to walk back that Queensryche won't be inducted. Could see them inducted in the 2023 or 2024 year. KING Posted by KING on Tuesday, 08/18/2015 @ 15:45pm |
As much as I love Queensryche, I have to say that they most likely will NOT be inducted into the Hall, much less nominated. Posted by V.F.T. on Monday, 11/21/2016 @ 21:38pm |
QUEENSRŸCHE Guitarist Says Band Wants To Avoid 'Treading On The Past': 'We're Trying To Move Forward' Posted by The Dude on Saturday, 03/2/2019 @ 11:24am |
Queensyreche is one of the best progressive medal rock bands ever. It took a lot of the progressive rock bands to get in but you can't put in Metallica,Rush,the Moody Blues,Yes and other progressive rock bands and exclude Queensyreche. Posted by Carl Hardy on Tuesday, 01/11/2022 @ 10:31am |
Queensryche is one of the best progressive rock bands period. Operation Mindscape alone makes them worthy.They continually rock hard. A must. However as we know it is hard for a Progressive Rock band to make it. Posted by Carl Hardy on Monday, 02/28/2022 @ 13:28pm |
Though I completely agree that Queensrÿche, Rush as well as many other artists should be in "A" Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I personally don't consider The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (Cleveland) a legitimate entity. There are way too many politics involved in whos in and whos not .What members of a band that are in or not. I'm of the opinion there are too many artists in there both in honor and displays that are nothing related to Rock while legitimate artists are constantly being left out. Are there cool things there ? Sure but they will never see a dime from me again. Posted by Frank Lindstrom on Saturday, 10/29/2022 @ 08:38am |
