I don't particularly like that line of logic. Just because members of that group went on to bigger, potentially Hall-worthy projects, doesn't automatically make that original effort worthy of induction. It would be wrong to say that the American Breed was influential on Rufus just because Rufus originated from past members of the American Breed. That's not what we or the Hall are talking about when defining an act's "influence." The merits of the group and the music thereof need to be assessed individually without consideration for the cache that certain members' names (or the names of later projects) would go on to have. It's the primary reason I've never been *too* keen on Cream's induction, why I disagreed so much with Bill G. on the issue of the Famous Flames when James Brown as a soloist essentially eclipsed the group's work (and yes, I do include "I Got You", "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag", etc. as solo, despite what the label credit says), why I'm not 100% sold on the Runaways either (especially since I didn't think Joan Jett And The Blackhearts were all that worthy), and why I wanna roll my eyes when someone mentions Generation X for giving us Billy Idol.

How many people from Cream Magazine were involved with nominations? Are you really surprised? Same thing with the Stones being overrated. The Nom Com was part of the business end of music. It came out in the late 70's or early 80's that record sales were falsified to get British artist play time on the radio. I also have my suspicions that Carole King is being shoved down our throats is because of who owns the rights to songs that she wrote as a recording company stable writer. I believe some body will get an income boost out of that one. Funny thing is she is probably the most AC out of all the 70's female artist. Posted by Zuzu on Thursday, 06/29/2017 @ 10:35am |
Okay, it looks like you're assuming I'm saying a lot of things that I was not saying. I never said Rufus didn't have rock cred. I don't "love to hate" the Shadows Of Knight... the only thing I've said about them is that I questioned the credibility about a list that places Shadows Of Knight above Them, since SoK only broke through nationally by covering a song from Them, and that that was almost the extent of national acclaim for SoK. Your last two paragraphs don't really speak to anything I was actually saying, either. Posted by Philip on Thursday, 06/29/2017 @ 15:47pm |

Dude, Bill G., you're more worked up about this than I was. I was just using it as a frame of reference, a similar example. It was one of four examples I used, and you jumped on this like it was the crux of what I was saying. I compared it to Cream, the Runaways, and Generation X, all to make a point regarding the American Breed. Posted by Philip on Sunday, 07/2/2017 @ 02:04am |

Well that's one way to kill a conversation. Send it spiralling in multiple directions with vagueness in most of them, so that no one has any clue what you're trying to say. Posted by Philip on Friday, 07/7/2017 @ 22:24pm |

A PBS special that disputes misinformation put out there on the importance of Chicago and its radio stations. Posted by Zuzu on Sunday, 02/11/2018 @ 18:32pm |
Thanks Zuzu, that was an interesting program to watch. There are a couple of good nuggets of information to bolster your claims; however, it is weighed down heavily by a lot of the rest of it. Posted by Philip on Sunday, 02/11/2018 @ 23:19pm |
