Members the stranger Posted March 15, 2010 Members Share Posted March 15, 2010 Uh, I like ABBA and all, but how can ABBA enter the R&R Hall of Fame before Rush? I personally think the HOF is a joke, but this type of thing is good fodder. Weren't rock and roll and disco kind of anathema to each other back in the day?

Members bp Posted March 15, 2010 Members Share Posted March 15, 2010 We got Genesis. Too bad it doesn't look like the old five man lineup will perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boogieplaya Posted March 15, 2010 Members Share Posted March 15, 2010 RUSH not being in the HOF is just one of many reasons not many people pay attention to that "award". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Anderton Posted March 15, 2010 Members Share Posted March 15, 2010 I believe it's because Canadians are ineligible unless they're singer/songwriters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the stranger Posted March 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 16, 2010 lol @ Craig. I knew it was something like that. I did hear Dancing Queen on the radio the other day and did my best Travolta dance (while still trying to safely operate the motor vehicle). As long as the Rush fans have been getting pissed about this thing, I'd venture a guess the HOF committee does it on purpose, so we can all get a good laugh.

Members the stranger Posted March 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 16, 2010 Forward to 2037: The HOF inductees have been announced for this year and we are proud to announce Milli Vanilli has been voted to be inducted by a wide margin over Rush.

Members coyote-1 Posted March 16, 2010 Members Share Posted March 16, 2010 Even if you say prog doesn't belong and therefore don't include Rush, there remains an incredibly glaring omission: Highway Star Smoke on the Water For those two songs alone, Deep Purple would deserve entry. Highway Star still rocks as hard as anything ever written, and SOTW remains the first thing every aspiring rock guitarist ever tries to play. Yet ABBA is now in the RnR HoF.

Members thankyou Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 I thought about becoming a dancing queen, but the hormones scared me off. All awards have some element of dicey politics. In the prog category, it seems that a lot was pretty much left out. I know a couple of guys from the original lineup of Kansas, who also are not in the HoF, and to compare them to ABBA, well, it's just not close IMHO.

Members blue2blue Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 This thing was a joke from the word go, I cannot understand why people pay any attention at all. (But glad to see Iggy & the Stooges finally made it. ) FWIW, here's an article suggesting that the "pickings are getting slim" and that future years may see more catch-up and fill-in, so there's always hope for Rush. Here are the arguable top names that become eligible next time: Indigo Girls, Megadeth and Faith No More. So, maybe 2011 will be Rush's year.
