This band should without question be in the R&RHOF if musical quality and influence on subsequent musical generations had anything to do with it...

I've never gotten the appeal of UFO.

I cut my teeth on AC/DC, Maiden, Priest, Sabbath, Dio, Ozzy, and the Scorps. When I was finally able to hear some of the influential and critically acclaimed bands like UFO, Saxon, and Thin Lizzy, I was expecting to be blown away, but found them to be generic and forgettable.

Get out of my head!

I'll have to try it again, but when I finally got around to getting a copy of Lights Out, I was underwhelmed.

I like a lot of UFO's material, but I wouldn't put them in the Hall. Especially in front of others far more deserving.

Ringmaster

If LL Cool J (whom I like) is in the HOF, anyone can be in.

Phenomenon is UFO's best album IMO. Try that album if you're going to give them a second chance.

Nick Danger

T. Rex isn't in? Jeez. I guess the most important thing is having a hit in the US.

Smiths -- Don't know. I thought they just did whiny songs like Bread.
L. Reed -- One of Rolling Stones' favorite artists. But I prefer the Velvet Underground.
Joan Jett -- Hard working, long lasting, and (most importantly) a woman rocker. Probably getting in.
Kraftwerk -- Belongs. Original and influential.
NIN -- Belongs. Original and influential.
Green Day -- Unoriginal and influenced. They need to wait until after Herman's Hermits.

bootsy

If you like him then you wouldn't say something so stupid and so wrong/incorrect.

VHS?

They really need to rename this to just 'Music Hall of Fame'

Ringmaster

It's called the "Rock N' Roll" hall of fame. Not the "music" hall of fame. If they are going to make room for artists from other genres then anyone can get in. Don't know why you would assume the worst.

bootsy

Wow still on this it's called 'Rock N Roll' bs. That argument went away a long time ago and you are still using that lameness. They have been making room for other artists from other genres for a long time now where the hell have you been. That isn't an assumption that's a fact. And as VHS? said they do need to call it the Music Hall of Fame.

Ringmaster

Yeah...... So what's the problem with what I said since, in you're own way, it's the same thing? Anybody can be in the hall of fame. Would you have been happy if i had said Hank Williams instead of LL cool J?

Let's call a spade a spade; the HOF should be called "The Rolling Stone" HOF. They own it.

bootsy

The problem is you said if LL gets in anyone can get in which is absolutely ridiculous. I'd be happy if you said nothing at all on this subject especially to be bluntly honest.

Ringmaster

It's like pulling teeth with you. Just tell the truth. You made assumptions about my statement instead of taking them as face value. You said it was stupid, but it only works if your pre conceived notions are correct, which are not. As soon as you see my explanation you back off by saying, eh.... i just didnt like it. It's OK. I get where you're coming from and in a lot of other cases, you'd be right. This time was not one of those times.

Let's move on and stay on topic.


If Grandmaster Flash is in the HOF, so can UFO.

bootsy

LOL I didn't make any assumptions. I responded to what you wrote and it was ridiculous. No assumptions about that.

Ringmaster

For the umpteenth time, what was ridiculous about using LL Cool J as an example? Should it have been someone you don't care about? I apologize to everyone here for this ridiculous disscusion. I had no idea I was talking to LL Cool J's publicist the whole time.

Back to business.

If Public Enemy is in the HOF, so can UFO.

Hokeyboy

Please avoid getting pulled into the bootsy vortex. It never ends well.

bootsy

You said if LL gets in anyone can. LL is worthy enough of making the HOF. It was just stupid what you said and still makes no sense. And how is him making it mean everyone else can? The needs some explanation. You really aren't making any sense at all. You argue it's the 'Rock N Roll' HOF not the 'Music' HOF and as to imply only rockers should be in it when that has never been the case. And then you continue with Public Enemy. WTF does PE being in have to do with UFO. Leave PE and any other rappers/non-rockers out of this. All you are doing now is just backtracking and just making no sense the further you go.


Shutup idiot. I don't really pay attention to your dumbass anyway. You are just some piece of lint on my clothing. Where's my lint roller at?

Hokeyboy

^And here I was starting to like you too.

VHS?

....

cungar

Based on the HOF's past record for nominating underground punk bands, I'd put the chances of that happening around 0%.

inri222

And if UFO gets in so should UTFO

Roxanne, Roxanne, I wanna be your man.

bootsy

Nice.

VHS?

Seriously. When does Ronnie James Dio get in. Solo and Sabbath.

inri222

^^^^^^^^^^^

What about Rainbow? Wouldn't that be some shit if Rainbow gets in before Deep Purple?

auto

Haha. These threads are always gold.
