Rock Hall Revisited

This is a chance for Future Rock Legends readers to vote as if they had a ballot for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Thanks to Gassman for organizing and moderating the voting (this discussion originally started in the comments on the 2010 Inductees page).

Here are the original guidelines that Gassman wrote:

As we all know the time between the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and the announcement of the nominees in September is a relatively slow time for this website. I have thought up of an idea of how to pass the time. Everybody here has their own problems with the way in which the Hall of Fame is constructed. You either think that there are horrible omissions or you feel that someone got inducted that didn’t deserve it. So I think it would be fun and interesting if we made or own Hall of Fame here. My idea would be that every week would represent a given year and people would get seven votes. The top seven vote getters at the end of the week of voting will get inducted into the Future Rock Legends Hall of Fame. I felt that seven would be a good middle ground as the normal five seems too low, but at the same time 10 seems too high. Also I know that you can change your name and vote multiple times, but please refrain from doing this so this can be somewhat legit.

Will NOT... lol!

I think it's shameful that Connie Francis is not in the Hall of Fame. She was very successful and much loved in the fifties and early sixties.

I think these performers should be inducted:

Jim Croce
Electric Light Orchestra
The Monkees
The Stylistics

I have been working on a list of all the members that we have inducted into our Rock Hall Revisited/Projected projects. Normally I've been using the lists that Casper came up with to do his snub lists. This gets a bit harder when we get to bands and groups that have yet to be inducted into the Hall, but it's still manageable. Where it gets really hard is with the Backing Groups that we've inducted in the Sidemen Category.

So, I was hoping I could get some input from the regulars here about what members they feel should be inducted from the Backing Groups. Don't worry if a member had been inducted as an individual in the Sidemen category.

The first place to start is the group that has been giving me the most troubles: The Wrecking Crew. Obviously Carol Kaye, Jack Nitzsche, Hal Blaine, Jim Keltner, Earl Palmer, James Burton, Glen Campbell, Tommy Tedesco, Leon Russell, Steve Douglas, et. would be included, but I need some help picking out who else should be included.

After we come up with a good consensus we can move on to the other groups.

Daft Punk
Slayer
Mississippi John Hurt
The Prodigy
Snoop Dogg
Eminem

Looks like nobody remembers a band from the Northwest called Paul Revere and the Raiders.

I can't understand why Tower of Power and Chicago are not in the HOF. Ask the people.

Posted by Carl B Skinner on Sunday, 06/11/2023 @ 18:00pm


Carl B. Skinner,

Just so you know, Chicago IS in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Tower of Power isn't…but they should be.

Posted by Johnny on Sunday, 06/11/2023 @ 19:06pm


There is no Black (& arguable any female singer) not influenced by Diana Ross. Induct her!
