"...the Hall of Fame is yet another lame attempt at boomerish canonization of a music too chaotic to neatly congeal into a discrete set of recognizable innovators. When a body comes along and declares itself the end-all objective pantheon for this music, that body is inherently suspect."
And in honor of the R&R Hall, I reprint this 2006 response from the Sex Pistols upon their induction:
Rock & roll is dead...long live rock & roll.

It's not even a joke, it's irrelevent (sp?) and the Hall of Fame has no impact on anything except for some tiny douchey segment of the population who get their music from mainstream radio and publications.
Have you seen the list of the top 200 artist of all time by the RR Hall of Fame? I had it on my blog for about an hour but had to take it down because it was just wrong on so many levels. Tania Schwane (or whatever her name is) is ranked at number 11 and The Who at Number 15 - stupid angerifying things like that.
There's a big corporate monster behind the Hall of Fame. It's the same shareholders as The Hard Rock Cafe and Haliburton. I'm sure of it.
we're NOT coming.
that's what the ducks said to Noah.
