Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2013 nominees

Rush and Deep Purple.

I especially liked this comment from the above:

“As for Rush, often called the world's most popular cult band despite amassing two dozen gold or platinum albums, its long-overdue inclusion is a bone-toss to keep the Canadian trio’s rabid fans from launching a mulleted mutiny.”

Hey, I haven’t worn a mullet (we actually used to call them shlongs for short/longs at the time) since the mid 80’s.

“ … in a likely nod/wink to the recent EDM explosion in the U.S. -- German electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk will vie for plaque-dom for the first time since 2003.”

And what is “EDM”? … That’s not that Sprockets Dance that Mike Meyers used to do on SNL?  Well, in any event, I must have been ahead of my time.  When I was in college I knew a guy that was into Kraftwerk and I remember listening to Fun Fun Fun on the Autobahn a couple of times.

    I thought we agreed that Hall of Fame is full of BS and personally I no longer follow what they have chosen.

    As for the Rush I have mixed feelings, never liked them enough to call them "world's most of anything".

    Deep Purple should be number 1 and the very first choice from the beginning, so we see how really fu$ked up is that 
    fake list.

    How the hell are Rush and Deep Purple not already long-time members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

    Oh yeah, 'cause it's mostly created and promoted by posers and dipsticks.  Never mind.

    BTW - EDM is Electronic Dance Music (not to be confused with IDM or EBM which are subgenres of EDM).  Simples, ya?

    I don't enjoy Rush, but it's long overdue. They totally deserve it.
