Okay, really? Everyone needs to stop hating! I mean, yeah... they probably won't be inducted to the HOF. But, you have GOT to give them some credit.

Before they "made it because of Disney" they were a legit pop/punk band. Touring in a van, selling T-shirts for gas money. Signed to Columbia Records. Their album kept getting pushed back, until it was finally released... but, without proper promotion. Therefore, they were dropped from Columbia.

The Disney audition presented itself out of nowhere, and they saw it as a second chance. Which is rare in the music industry. THEY AUDITIONED AS A BAND. You can't hold the fact that they just so happen to be 3 good-looking brothers, perfect for the tween/teenage market against them.

If you even bothered to do your research before you jumped to conclusions.. you would know that they are in fact, talented. And, that Nick Jonas specifically is the chief songwriter and a multi instrumentalist.

I don't think it's fair that they get a bad rap because of where they're "from." It's all about where they're going. They've left Disney, they're on their own now, & they still have a HUGE fanbase. Who's to say that something they release in the future won't completely redefine them? Or break records? Or change your perception of them?

No one can say! So stop hating. You might be eating your words down the line.

Having a a hugh fanbase still doesn't mean that the Jonas Brothers will be getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame anytime soon.

In order to make it into the Hall of Fame, artists need to have a 60 percent vote or higher to get in and the Jonas Brothers don't have a high vote and I doubt anyone is likely to vote them in unless they're 12 year old girls.

B, I don't give a care about the Jonas Brothers. Yes, they may be a band with a hugh fanbase, but as far as I can see, they are nothing more then a pop answer to Green Day. Personally, I'll take The Stooges and MC5 over these teenage idols.

Lastly, I wasn't hating The Jonas Brothers, all I was saying was that they don't belong in the RARHOF.

Long live Green Day!

NOOOO!!!!!!!!!! But at least they are more rock like than the Beatles. Which is ironic considering that I love The Beatles but not the Jonas Bros. PS. Who in your opinion is more rock like: Jonas Brothers or Beatles

To answer your question, Karl, The Beatles are more rock & roll then these teen has-beens.

That being said, The Beatles did start out as the same kind of band and they did sing songs for teenyboppers, but they did eventually grow out of the boy band image and became a more experimental group, while The Jonas Brothers never amounted to much.

They were just Disney pretty boys who where trying to be a more kid-friendly version of Green Day. All and all, these losers do not belong in The Hall.

Andrew, you obviously don't understand that there is a debate about whether or not The Beatles are rock. I was only saying that because, if you listen to what the guitars on Jonas Brothers songs, they sound very rock like. The Beatles got famous before distortion units were invented. So they played pop sounding guitar. The Jonas Brothers guitars sound like pop punk. Speaking of pop punk, when I was in 4th grade, at my school all the boys listened to Green Day, while all the girls listened to the Jonas Brothers. I was not really for either at the time because I didn't care much for music until I was in 7th grade, though I did like Elvis. However, the guitars are the only thing that make the Jonas Brothers rock music. So they should be locked out of Cleveland.

Also two last questions:
1. What do you think of my argument?
2. Which side would you have gone for at my elementary school, the boys side or girls side?

I would never consider the Jonas Bros. for the Hall.

That being said, you've an interesting take on things here, & it's one that I sought to broach on the site. With the Beatles, the thorny issue is the beginning of their careers vs the end game. Somewhere on the Beatle page, I once made a note of what songs truly sounded like rock to my ears - this meaning what passed for rock to a person who'd done most of their listening in the 80's and 90's, and into the 2000's. I found that the earliest songs I could come up with came from around "Rubber Soul", and gradually progressed. Still, I wasn't able to come up w/a lot (personally) until at least "Magical Mystery Tour" or "The White Album".

I think a lot of folks don't want to admit that as the 60's went on, the Beatles were beaten at their own game by a lot of other artists. Hendrix, Cream, The Doors, Zeppelin, etc., all zoomed past them in those last yrs. of the decade. People are willing to let it slide when the Beatles surpass Elvis, but they get a little antsy when it's suggested the Beatles may have been surpassed along the way.

Karl, to answer your question, your augment is quite valid. I'm sure that there are a lot of people who think that The Beatles aren't rock music. Personally, I've always seen the Beatles' music as rock n' roll, but it can be argued that the group's early material was very popish in it's sound. It wasn't until around 65' that they transformed themselves into a more experimental group. If I had gone to your elementary school in 4th grade, I would sided with the boys.

Cheesecrop, I do agree that in the 60s, there were bands and artists like Hendrix, Cream, The Doors, Zeppelin, and others that were able to beat The Beatles at their own game and create music that was equal to or sometimes even better then what The Beatles made.

Honestly, they DESERVED to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Because this is a band group of brothers with a mixed of pop and they have a good music since they showed in Disney.

They will be inducted future hall of famers Jonas Brothers. They deserved it because they proved that they are not just for disney kids movies rock band they are superstars. Back in June 2021, they perform a Free Live Concert outside in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Big possibility chances updated for 2021 is 85-90%.

LMAO. The Jonas Brothers may have made a lot of girls happy but they have little to no impact in the music world. They may have had success, but the JoBros in the hall just ain't happening. The only boy bands I could see getting into the hall are NKOTB and the Backstreet Boys. N'Sync and One Direction won't get in, but I can see Justin Timberlake and Harry Styles being inducted.

All the Jonas Brothers are is just a less talented version of Hanson.
