Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame?

 So...  the RRHOF announced its list of nominees for 2026 induction:

  • The Black Crowes
  • Jeff Buckley
  • Mariah Carey
  • Phil Collins
  • Melissa Etheridge
  • Lauryn Hill
  • Billy Idol
  • INXS
  • Iron Maiden
  • Joy Division/New Order
  • New Edition
  • Oasis
  • P!NK
  • Sade
  • Shakira
  • Luther Vandross
  • Wu-Tang Clan.
Heavy sigh.  

Over these 17 artists/bands, I own exactly 1 album (Black Crowes - Shake Your Money Maker).  There's not a single one of these names that would come close to being deserving, in my (humble) opinion.  Maybe Phil Collins, as a very successful pop singer (with rock roots).

Oh well, I'm getting used to being disappointed, guess I'm getting old.

Meanwhile here's a few artists/bands that I think are deserving:
  • Bue Oyster Cult
  • Boston
  • Emerson Lake and Palmer
  • Jethro Tull
  • Kansas
  • The Monkees
  • Stephen Stills (solo)
Now, get off my lawn!
