Re: 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees announced
It was an incredible show, definitely the best $50 I have ever spent on a concert! While it was disappointing that Rod Stewart didn't make it for The Faces reunion, Mick Hucknall did a great job filling in (and Ron Wood killed it on guitar!). If Rod doesn't want to do a tour they should just do some shows with Mick because they can still bring it.
All of the speeches and performances were very good but when it came time for Guns N Roses to be inducted there was an electric vibe in the building that you just don't get very often. Billie Joe Armstrong's speech was great. He had kind words about the contributions each of the members made, although Dizzy Reed might not feel that way about what was said about him
The performance was fantastic and by the time they played Paradise City the place was going berzerk! Just an amazing night all around and I feel very fortunate to have attended.

Maybe Kiss should do the song-God Gave Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Too you(but not to us).

Re: 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees announced
I am not a hip hop fan in the slightest but anyone who doesn't think Public Enemy deserve to be nominated because of Flavor Flav's terrible reality shows is just biased.
Public Enemy were HUGE with critics and music geeks in the late 80s. They took hip hop to another level critically and made people see it as more than a novelty but as another means of expression. Their lyrics resonated with a generation as much as the folk songs did in the 60s.
I don't know how anyone did not see that one coming. It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back is considered one of the greatest albums of all time, and if I recall, ranked behind only U2 and Michael Jackson on the Rolling Stone 500 list.

One of the most important (not just hip hop) groups of all time.

Re: 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees announced
I agree. The same people bashing PE because of Flavor Flav are the same people who complain that people slight Kiss too much because of Gene Simmons. So hypocritical.
And I must correct myself, when I said only U2 and MJ ranked higher on the RS 500 list, I meant for 1980s releases. But still, high enough that I think the only people stunned and dismayed about the HOF are people who have a serious axe to grind with hip hop and are the same people who whine about Madonna and ABBA while they don't mind 60's female one hit wonders being in there even though I think only a person filled with bias and hate honestly thinks that Lesley Gore for instance had more hits and impact than Madonna and ABBA.

No way do you get half of the groups/artists into a legitimate, purely Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame that are in this HOF. It really is a Popular Music Hall of Fame. The name is a misnomer given how it's been run since the beginning.
