Drupelet Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 It took years to wear Jan down enough to allow KISS in, so maybe he's softening his hardline a bit. Not surprising, especially after all of the controversy surrounding the Dave Clark 5 induction. Word was that he really liked the Raspberries set at the Rock Hall induction dinner last year, so who knows? On the other hand, the 'berries don't have a pitbull like Gene Simmons calling Jan at home and at the office every day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Give me his number, I'll be the pitbull ....I'd call morning, noon, and night, I still can't get over LL Kool J what the hell were they thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missm Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Shelley, please let me assist you on this . We can tag team him with calls . Afterall, I am still mad as hell about The Archies being denied their rightful place in the RRHOF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fresh Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Its political poo-poo Rob the voting process for the fame has become very frustrating for such remarkable talents such as the raspberries and Chicago also and many others I had forgotten about Chicago.What do those guys have to do after 40 successful years in the business and still performing.They have like 3 greatest hits albums now.I really amazes me.

Paul Davie Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I've been dying to post on this topic since Wednesday, but the site wasn't allowing me to log in (Wierd but THANK YOU Bernie for helping me get back in!)I happened to visiting former Hollie Terry Sylvester at a show in Massachusetts on Wednesday, and I had the honor of being the first to tell him of the nomination. He was VERY excited to hear the news, and he announced it to the crowd that night - there was a truly rousing reception when he shared the info.What The Hollies has going for them is that they are the only nominee with a strong presence in the 60's (as well as Terry's era from 1969-74). The others are mainly 70's/80's artists.My picks are :The HolliesGenesisABBAKISS and (begrudingly...under political pressure) LL Cool J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Here's hoping Paul. That is extremely cool that you informed Terry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early Wynn Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 ...and where's Cheap Trick? 33 years after their first album, still the original 4, still pumping out great new relevant stuff. Let me see... LL Cool J or Cheap Trick? Now if this was the R&B HOF or the Hip Hop HOF I'd be going with LL Cool J. But since this is the Rock and Roll HOF...............

hollies65 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yeah...LL CoolJ before Cheap Trick...that should earn someone a prison sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy K. Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Didn't Tom Petterson leave Cheap Trick for a while?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy K. Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 The only thing I can see that even connects Laura Nyro to rockis that Three Dog Night did covers of her songs. But, with that in mind......Hoyt Axton would be a better choice....or perhaps 3 Dog themselves...And who are the Chantels? Sounds like one of those "15 minutes of fame" groups.
