Top Ten Artists Eligible for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019
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.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
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, 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.
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.
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.
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.
Why is he not inducted yet. Disgraceful.
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
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.
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! )
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.
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).
One of the most underrated bands ever, and definitely from the 90's-2000's!
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.
He is a genius. Vote for him.
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
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
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
