To be eligible for rock and roll hall of fame, 25 years have to pass after the artist's debut album. So, artists with a debut album in 1994 would be eligible next year.
Iron Maiden are an English Heavy Metal band formed in Leyton, East London, in 1975 by bassist and primary songwriter Steve Harris. The most critically acclaimed period for the band was from 1983-1989. With vocalist Bruce Dickinson, bassist Steve Harris, lead guitarist Dave Murray, rhythm guitarist Adrian ...read more. Wait, what? They aren't already! What is some band called Emerson, Lake and Palmer doing there? You imbeciles!
They are like Black Sabbath on super-steroids, you know, just with overall attitude and balls.
These guys have influenced more bands than most!
Should of been there a long time ago
Judas Priest are a British heavy metal band that formed in Birmingham, England, in 1969. They are often referred to as one of the greatest metal bands of all time, and are even commonly called “The Metal Gods”, after one of the songs on their 1980 album “British Steel”.They are known for several of their hit songs, which include “Painkiller”, “Breaking The Law”, You’ve Got Another Thing Coming”, and “Turbo Lover”.
Their original lineup consisted of Al Atkins (vocals), K.K. Downing (lead/rhythm guitar), Ian Hill (bass), and John Ellis (drums). Atkins never recorded on any Judas Priest releases, but contributed to several songs. ...read more.
They should have been in ther a long time ago and so should the scorpions along with them I see ther r 4 on here that should have gone a long time ago so get your chit together and put all of the in this comming year
Priest need to be in hall of fame
Emerson, Lake & Palmer were an English progressive rock supergroup formed in London in 1970. The band consisted of keyboardist Keith Emerson, singer, bassist, and producer Greg Lake, and drummer and percussionist Carl Palmer. Emerson Lake & Palmer, hands down, the Holy Trinity of Progressive Rock.
Keith Emerson was a great keyboardist. Gerald Lake was a great singer, bassist, guitarist and producer. Carl Palmer was a great drummer. But what they came up with was from another world.
They were creating new rock music sounds, including adaptations of classical music with jazz and symphonic rock elements, dominated by Emerson's flamboyant use of the Hammond Organ, Moog synthesizer, and piano. It was like nothing else out there.
Talk about three guys who studied and mastered the art of Progressive Rock, you know, who lived it, breathed it, and where like professors at it.
Wait, they aren't in already? Is the hall of fame based on talent/popularity (in their era)? If yes, they would have been inducted in the 1st round.
They're not from this planet. I think they flew down from a spaceship and were put on this earth to make the craziest music.
Def Leppard are an English hard rock band formed in 1977 in Sheffield as part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement. Saw them in concert with Journey in Dallas, both bands are deserving of the Rock and Roll hall of fame. Journey already is in the hall of fame,now Def Leppard deserves to get in
One of the Best and most influential bands ever totally deserve to get in.
Korn is an American nu-metal band from Bakersfield, California, formed in 1993. The band's current lineup includes founding members Jonathan Davis, James "Munky" Shaffer, Brian "Head" Welch, and Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu, with the addition of Ray Luzier, who replaced the band's original member, David ...read more. They single handedly invented the genre that is known as nu-metal, blending genres of heavy metal such as industrial metal, alternative metal, rap metal, thrash metal, and groove metal with grunge, hip hop, and (on occassion) hardcore punk. They have influenced various nu-metal, metalcore, emo and screamo bands after them.
One of the most underappreciated bands of all time. They have some true classics. Blind, Twist, Freak on a Leash, Got the Life, Falling Away From Me. That's just from their first four albums. Great band. Definitely deserve to be inducted.
Legendary. They started a revolution, and have been one of the most potent live acts since their inception. Follow The Leader was full of classic songs. It would be a travesty for them not to get in.
Last gigantic successful rock band we will probably ever have.
Bad Company was an English rock supergroup formed in London in 1973. The band was comprised of singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke, both formerly of Free, guitarist Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople, and bassist Boz Burrell, who was previously with King Crimson.
Peter Grant, known for managing the rock band Led Zeppelin, also managed Bad Company until 1982. Albeit a short run time-wise, check out the 1,000 greatest rock songs of all time list and you'll see the catalogue of this band...add Paul Rodgers role in Free, The Firm, front man for Queen's initial return to live touring...there is NO WAY this singer/band can be left out. Ask radio stations all over the world what would happen if Bad Co songs were eliminated from their Classic Rock playlist. Somebody at Rock Hall must not like Rodgers. that's the only explanation for not including this band.
It's disgraceful that Bad Company, and especially singer/songwriter Paul Rodgers, haven't yet been inducted to the Hall Of Fame. What a blatant insult to a fine group of musicians. Paul Rodgers is more deserving than any other rock/blues singers of this era. Please, for Paul's, Bad Company, and his fans' sake, nominate these stellar musicians NOW.
Possibly the single biggest snub currently - unbelievable - they were a sort of all-star band but their library of hits and classic albums can't be disputed. Put them in already.
John Robert "Joe" Cocker was an English singer and musician. He was known for his gritty voice, spasmodic body movement in performance and definitive versions of popular songs. Why is he not inducted yet. Disgraceful.
Alice in Chains is an American grunge/alternative metal band formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1987 by guitarist and songwriter Jerry Cantrell and original lead vocalist Layne Staley. Because there catalog of music is un matched to any other band out there. Every bit of there material is beyond stellar! Layne Staley era to the Duvall era! An above any other bands are still being played on the radio daily. Jerry an Laynes solo carriers must not go unnoticed either. These guys are the heart an soul of (ROCK) music. Jerry, Shawn, mike inez
Best grunge band ever.
Marilyn Manson
Oasis were an English britpop band formed in Manchester in 1991. Developed from an earlier group, the Rain, the band originally consisted of Liam Gallagher (vocals and tambourine), Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan, and Tony McCarroll. Noel Gallagher (Liam's Brother) served as the primary songwriter and guitarist for the band. They released a total of 7 albums. Definitely Maybe (1994), (What's The Story) Morning Glory? (1995), Be Here Now (1997), Standing on the Shoulder of Giants (2000), Heathen Chemistry (2002), Don't Believe The Truth (2005), and Dig Out Your Soul (2008). They disbanded in 2009 after Noel refused to attend their final gig. Causing Liam and Noel to have a falling ...read more. I doubt they'll get in straight away, but eventually I think they deserve to be inducted. Even if they weren't as successful in the US as they were in Britain, they were the biggest band in the world for about 2 years, brought British rock back into prominence after the grunge era and paved the way for a lot of newer rock acts.
Live Forever, Supersonic, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Don't Look Back In Anger, Don't Go Away, Lyla, The Masterplan, Acquiesce, Whatever, Stop Crying Your Heart Out...etc etc.
Unpopular opinion, but I really hate Oasis.
Bryan Guy Adams is a Canadian singer, songwriter, record producer, guitarist, photographer, philanthropist and activist.
King Crimson were a British progressive rock band that was formed in 1969. While the band has had numerous lineup changes, the head of the band has always been Robert Fripp (guitar). However, the most notable lineup is between 1972-75, consisting of Fripp, John Wetton (bass/vocals), Bill Bruford (drums), and David Cross (strings/keyboard). The band is most well-known for their debut album "In the Court of The Crimson King", with which they made a large impact on the progressive rock genre. One of the most influential bands of all time. You can't induct a prod band if you haven't inducted King Crimson.
Prog Rock and Heavy Metal need way more representation in the hall of fame.
! John's gonna get in?!?!?!? (Happy Dance! )
Scorpions are a German rock band formed in 1965 in Hanover by Rudolf Schenker. Since the band's inception, its musical style has ranged from hard rock to heavy metal.
The Smiths were an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1982. The band consisted of vocalist Morrissey, guitarist Johnny Marr, bassist Andy Rourke and drummer Mike Joyce. British alternative music truly is underrated and largely ignored in America. I doubt Oasis and Blur would ever get in despite their legacy. The Smiths will probably take forever to finally be inducted. I am positive they will induct them one day, as the Cure and Radiohead have been inducted in the 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Indie music is constantly ignored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, so I don't know if the Smiths will ever get inducted, nor their future fellow indie music artists, such as Oasis, Blur, Joy Division and the Stone Roses.
Love them but they will not get in until these OLD FART voters die. They only listened to American Music. Talking Heads are in but none of the better British bands of the same elk.
One of the most influential groups in alternative rock history, and they're still not in. I expect this to change within the next few years, though.
Thin Lizzy are an Irish rock band formed in Dublin in 1969. Their leader Phil Lynott was composer or co-composer of almost all of the band's songs, and the first black Irishman to achieve commercial success in the field of rock music. Thin Lizzy's most successful songs, "Whiskey in the Jar", "Jailbreak" and "The Boys Are Back in Town", were all major international hits which are still played regularly on hard rock and classic rock radio stations. They weren't American and they weren't British. They were Irish! Before U2 and the Cranberries was Classic Rock's own Thin Lizzy. Mostly known for "The Boys Are Back In Town" they've been cited as influence from Guns N' Roses, Metallica and many others (Even Metallica gave them a nod during their own induction).
Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic is an American singer, songwriter, parodist, record producer, satirist, actor, voice actor, music video director, film producer, and author.
Slayer was an American thrash metal band from Huntington Park, California, formed in 1981 by guitarists Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King. They rose to fame with their 1986 album Reign in Blood, and is credited as one of the big four of thrash metal bands, the others being Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax. ...read more.
Weezer is an American alternative rock/power pop band formed in Los Angeles in 1992, currently consisting of Rivers Cuomo (lead vocals, lead and rhythm guitar), Patrick Wilson, Brian Bell, and Scott Shriner. One of the most underrated bands ever, and definitely from the 90's-2000's!
Grand Funk Railroad, sometimes shortened as Grand Funk, is an American rock band popular during the 1970s, when they toured extensively and played to packed arenas worldwide. This band rocked in the late 60s and 70s sold out Shea stadium faster than the Beatles sold over 30 million records
Should have already been in
The Power Trio that should have been in years ago
Not a Hall of Fame without them already in there.
Joseph Satriani (born July 15, 1956) is an American instrumental rock guitarist and multi-instrumentalist. Early in his career, Satriani worked as a guitar instructor, with many of his former students achieving fame, such as Steve Vai, Larry LaLonde, Rick Hunolt, Kirk Hammett, Andy Timmons, Charlie ...read more.
Marilyn Manson is an American rock band from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Formed in 1989 by frontman Marilyn Manson and Daisy Berkowitz, the group was originally named Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids with their theatrical performances gathering a local cult following in the early 1990s.
The name of the band comes from famous sex symbol Marilyn Monroe and famous criminal Charles Manson. Manson joined these two names together because he wanted a name combined with good (Monroe) and evil (Manson). The other members of the band have their stage names combined with the first names of famous sex symbols and the last names of famous serial killers. He is a genius. Vote for him.
Foreigner is a British-American arena rock band, originally formed in New York City in 1976 by veteran English musician Mick Jones and fellow Briton and ex-King Crimson member Ian McDonald along with American vocalist Lou Gramm. Absolutely should be in rock hall of fame, already in song writers hall of fame. long overdue!
Well deserved, requested songs, excellent concerts, crowd pleaser
Dave Matthews Band is an American rock band that was formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1991. The founding members were singer-songwriter and guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist Stefan Lessard, drummer/backing vocalist Carter Beauford and saxophonist LeRoi Moore. These guys have consistently proven that they are above and beyond the other bands that came out at the same time they did. Not to mention they share some a lot of the same record and touring stats with led zeplin U2 the Beatles... #tourimg band in sales I n the world from 200-2009. they are the only band to consecutively debut 7 albums at #1 on billboard.
A lot of people hate them and a lot of people are diehards. I'm in the 10% that enjoy a lot of their music but don't hate them or are obsessed with them
Patricia Mae Andrzejewski, known professionally by her stage name Pat Benatar, is an American singer, songwriter, and four-time Grammy Award winner. This is long overdue. So many hits, rick and rolled it without compromise and giving in to exploiting her sexuality and still performing today. Why has this not happened yet?
Also - Cher, Stevie Nicks and Tina Turner.
Seriously? Less than 1% chance? Travesty
Everyone knows a pat song
