Out come the rock n roll music snobs again. Same old rubbish the hipsters of today spout about their indie music. And lol what a joke they've become. Just because it's not your preferred genre and you've made no effort to research it or follow it does not mean you have the the 'holier than thou' right to trash it. You spout the same illogical rhetoric that Southern Baptists do about sinning & worship except you replace the words Hell with Pop and God with Guitar.

True she was an 'indie' in every sense of the word before it was so loosely thrown around these days. Shocking truth hardly known most rock band, pop star, indie and any other musician's today can buy a song and call it their own making them a 'songwriter'. More shocking truth if you can stand it all common sense says her departure from Atlantic was not the most pleasant i.e. the release of her Greatest Hit's by Atlantic just as Think With Your Heart was released on SBK. Radio station's that claim to play 'everything' including Milli Vanilli and that whole thing but not one of her bonafide hits, it's called shelved as a nicer word or less commonly known by some blacklisted, be sure she wasn't the first and won't be the last. So yes if Atlantic has their say X she will never have or get the chance to get in. If her popularity which has taken a hit for above stated reason's has anything to do with her chances of getting in with support from her dedicated fan base ✔︎ she will eventually get in. If her achievement's and body of work and influence have anything to do with her chances of getting in ✔︎ she ultimately will get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Saw Debbie in concert the other night as she was part of NKOTB's Mixtape Tour. I'm not sure if she's had a respectable career, but she has a few decent accomplishments under her belt. She's not even 50 yet, but it's almost like it has been 30 years since we last heard from her. And that's probably so. We all know she was a teen-pop star back in the late 80s, and guys crushed on her while the women wanted to be like her. Then she faded. I read somewhere (think it was Rolling Stone) that she tried getting into grunge. Thank goodness that was short-lived if any. Then much later, she acted on stage as well as Hallmark (or was it Lifetime?) movies. I'm glad she took part in touring again, even if it was for an "Oldies" circuit tour. She's still got a great body with abs of steel (yes, she wore midriff) and a great voice. But I don't see her getting into the Hall of Fame, at least not for a while.

On Debbie Gibson: I'm glad you mentioned Debbie Gibson. Debbie Gibson was 1 of the last late 80's and 90's artists with a great pop sound and wholesome image. Now many of these young female artists are having tattoo contests and seeing how little clothes they can wear. It's a shame really. I think I saw her with Tiffany on 1 of those Morning Concert Series a few years ago. Debbie for around 50 is still damn good looking and has her voice strong. I remember playing Only In My Dreams video for 1 of the many projects we have hear. It amazed me how much life has changed in the last 30 years. It's a fun video and today the video from an artist like her would be more sexualized. Music unfortunately has moved into a more auto-tuned, sample-laden, image-based and satanic direction. I'm hoping another group like a younger Black Crowes type emerges. Excellent music and returns to good rock and roll. Cool hooks and outstanding musicianship. KING

She deserves to be in.

I say yes!!! She wrote her own music that were major hits!!!!!! Hardly any of these new artists write their own music. Even Heart or Pat Benatar did not write some of their own music that were hits. And the fact she was so young is incredible.

A definite yes for me but maybe about 2026. She's back again and relevant. The influence is definitely in that air. Debbie Gibson for the Rock n roll hall of fame!
