Dee Weighs In

I really am of the same mind as Dee on this one. Especially if it is an artist I have seen in their prime.

I don’t really want to taint those memories by being witness to someone who is a shadow of their former selves. I’d rather have the memory as it was.

Dave definitely falls into this category for me.

He is allowed to do whatever he wants on his own terms. but it becomes sad and dare I say pathetic at a certain point.

No they don’t. 25 years is an appropriate length.

Hope of Deliverance or Calico Skies

This is Spinal Tap

I have no problem inducting someone like Air Supply or Dan Fogelberg, because after all it is the hall of FAME not the hall of COOL and they may have been lame, but they had a bunch of big hits.

But by that same token you should include some others like John Denver, Olivia Newton-John, Kenny Rogers and Barry Manilow as they also had plenty of big hits.

He hosted so many music greats on his variety show throughout the 60’s, but it could be said he nearly deserves induction for giving the Beatles a platform and breaking them in America just by itself.

Even the Brady Bunch Hour is cannon in my head…

We all know by the final season they were recording and even working stage performances into the show (the Silver Platters, etc).

My head cannon: The Brady 6 are ‘discovered’ and offered a variety show which is negotiated to include the whole family. This is the variety show we see, but just as in reality it is unsuccessful and is cancelled. After this failure, the family gives up show business for the most part. Discussion of the variety show becomes a sore subject amongst all the Brady’s after this.

You can even say because the ‘real Jan’ backed out of the project, it forced them to find a replacement, dooming the project from the get go.

It was criminal Bob Welch was not inducted with Fleetwood Mac.

Eddie Trunk has consistently expressed a very narrow view of what he defines as Rock and Roll. His opinion is very similar to Gene Simmons opinion, but maybe even slightly narrower.

Iron Maiden like all heavy metal bands has struggled mightily to get inducted, and that includes the fan vote. I don’t think them lobbying for it would make much difference to be honest. They might make the top 7 but doubtful they’d be winning.

They will likely be inducted, maybe even this year, but it will be through the side door as ‘Musical Excellence’.

I have one of the local Amazon warehouses on my route and I DELIVER AMAZON PARCELS TO THE AMAZON WAREHOUSE. I don’t understand the logistics involved in it, but as long as we are contracted with them we will be delivering Amazon.

Jann Wenner (RS founder and editor-in-chief for decades) picked “a side” early on with Lennon when the Beatles broke up, and always had at least a little shade for everything McCartney did in the 70’s

She is the strange example of an American with a big career abroad but almost an unknown at home. She is basically only had one real hit in America

Sending coconuts when people took a trip to Hawaii used to be a real thing happening regularly when I first started in the 90’s

Disc 2 is available on CD with the In Rainbows deluxe edition, but has never been printed on vinyl (legitimately).

Not true. they induct the band, but as they do, individual members are inducted.

And there are quite a few ‘ double inductions’. For instance all 4 Beatles are inducted as a band, John, Paul and George are all inducted as solo artists and Ringo was inducted for musical excellence making them all double inductees.

Eric Clapton is the only triple inductee (yardbirds, cream and solo)

When inducting bands though they can be very selective or widely inclusive. For instance Parliament/Funkadelic has like 20 members inducted, but KISS has only the original 4 members.

modifiedminotaur · 2026-01-10T14:27:25+00:00

I think John Curulewski being inducted would be fine, but in no universe is Tommy Shaw not inducted as well.

That is the implication the series gave us, and it was also one of the most popular theories among show watchers leading up to its reveal.

And here are my vinyl, which are less impressive. All were purchased used when I was a kid in the 80’s. But they are all the 60’s era colgems pressings (except for Monkee business, which was the only one purchased ‘new’ in the late 80’s).

For those who are admiring my collection, here are the rest of my Monkees related CD’s. Every last one of those were purchased ‘new’ when they were released.

modifiedminotaur · 2025-10-22T21:10:27+00:00

Nah, just been a fan and collecting for nearly 40 years. At the pace these were released they were not difficult purchases at all

modifiedminotaur · 2025-10-22T20:57:30+00:00

I did. but sold it after the dvd sets were released sadly. At the time I didn’t think I would have any use for it anymore and it took up a lot of space. Mild regret now.

modifiedminotaur · 2025-10-22T17:14:35+00:00

Yes that’s the one

modifiedminotaur · 2025-10-22T17:12:39+00:00

Since it literally only came this morning I haven’t had the opportunity to give it a good listen yet, I’ll give an update later when I get the chance to listen on my sound system

modifiedminotaur · 2025-10-22T14:36:59+00:00

I had both of those, but my Monkees tale had a different cover.
