Radiohead Among Top Nominees for the RRHOF 2018 Class

[grieves]

I hope LL Cool J gets in, because every time a rap artist makes it into the RRHOF aging white guys across the nation lose their shit and it's hilarious to watch.

Not going to get a lot of votes acting like that.

 

I also don't think the rock and roll hall of fame is currently comparable to an awards show - so he's being kind of a Debbie downer here.

 

Has he been to the rock and roll hall of fame? I don't think it's as show bizy as he seems to think. I got the sense of a genuine appreciation for music and musicians.

 

And I seem to recall a certain country making the grand standing claim that the "sun never sets" on their empire - so spare me this British humbleness act.

 

Reading the associated article - it sounds like Colin is the only one that's got the right of it. Thom and Ed can just relax a little.

rock n roll hall of fame is complete bullshit, though. he's completely right.

Is Colin the RH Ringo?

I don't want Radiohead to win, nor do I like that they were nominated. The rock and (n'?) roll hall of fame, along with award shows/awards in general is kind of lame, for lack of a better word. I do appreciate how the RRHF isn't as reductive and self-congratulatory as many other award shows, but still... Radiohead are too young and too cool for this tripe

Also, fuck LL Cool J. i don't like how the hall of fame will just let anybody in hahaha

despite their overwhelming enthusiasm for being nominated, Radiohead didn't quite make the cut this time.

 

congratulations to the memory of nina simone and sister rosetta tharpe.

 

the other inductees are all worthy too, though i was never a big fan of bon jovi. and i'm not exactly sure why the dire straits made it this time. but whatever.

[skylark]

if these awards are connectedin any way with radioplay i think it will be quite a few years 

[contravene]

who the fuck is dire straits!

[sleepy jack]

they're ok. big in the 80s. good songwriting and musicianship. i saw them in concert. overall a little bland for my taste. but they sold a lot of records. their 1985 album sold like 20 million copies.

 

i think the bandleader, mark knopfler, is a real musician's musician. he's done a lot of session work and worked with a lot of other artists. even produced a bob dylan album.

 

they deserve to be in the rrhof as much as anyone.

 

considering that their first studio album was 1978 and their last was was 1991, and it's 38 years since their most well known record was made in 1978.... then by that schedule radiohead should be inducted in 2031 if they have to wait as long.

 

but no. they're not better than radiohead. not by a long shot.

[skylark]

they play sultan song on the radio constantly like jus as much as hotel california 

 

they play creep on 90s at noon sometimes

[skylark]

i jus dnt think anyone will be in a hurry to nominate rh anytime soon 

 

and being that most people dnt know them or their songs there will be no ongoing injustice of them not being inducted year after year either
