I don't think you can exclude the Stooges from any R'n'R Hall of Fame worth it's salt. Yes, Iggy was the spearhead of the Stooges and had occasional brilliance and success (commercial and critical) as a solo artist. But the template that the Stooges as a whole created has resonated throughout multiple generations. In a just world, the Stooges should be a lock. <br /><br />Jimmy Cliff: That's a tough one. As much as I like reggae in general and some Jimmy Cliff in particular, I'm not sure reggae artist belong in a R'n'R Hall of FAme. Still, reggae, especially the "classics" of which Cliff represents, had a huge effect on many R'n'R artists, so it could be argued that Cliff et al did change the sound of R'n'R (for better or worse, probably both). <br /><br />RHCP: Agree with both JB and Morgan. I think it is too soon, but ultimately, I think they should be in there, despite the fact that I think they are not nearly as good as they should be (or people think they are). I like some of their stuff a lot, I hate a lot of their stuff, but as JB inferred, they have had a long career and have been very influential (again, like the reggae, for better or worse, probably both).Mr. GeeBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971005418677101536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497209460362406306.post-11491282225744563982009-09-24T14:03:41.255-07:002009-09-24T14:03:41.255-07:00Kiss is a no brainer here. Love 'em or hate &#...Kiss is a no brainer here. Love 'em or hate 'em, they have had a huge impact on Rock-n-Roll and an enduring career. <br /><br />Similar with ABBA. How many bands have songs that everyone knows and sings 30+ years later. My kids sing Dancing Queen and I promise you I never have played ABBA in my house. Ever.<br /><br />Genesis. I see the argument.<br /><br />Stooges. No, but Iggy Pop should be.<br /><br />Laura Nyro. No.<br /><br />Chantels. No fucking way.<br /><br />Hollies. Nope. Too many covers and not enough original compositions. Honestly, they were a hit largely because every Brit band was a hit at that time, not because they were unique.<br /><br />Donna Summer. Despite being the subject of some of my earliest "young boy and older disco singing woman" fantasies, no.<br /><br />RHCP. Too soon.<br /><br />LL Cool J. Um, no.<br /><br />Darlene Love. no.<br /><br />Jimmy Cliff. Yeah, probably.On The Flip-Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319364292191851993noreply@blogger.com
