About the 2024 Inductees, will m wrote:| personally Ive never brought up culture club cause I dislike them, but my opinion is irrelevant. I don't see them as very critically acclaimed nor fondly remembered. they're not on critic best of lists (clock of the heart being on the 500 songs rock hall list is very interesting tho). in response to your points on their worthiness Chris, for queer rep, just go with the B-52 s who have far more acclaim and obvious influence (and are better but my opinion is irrelevant). CC are definitely not on the level of DD. Duran has had much longer sustained critical and commercial success without having to resort to becoming tabloid fodder like boy George did. and durans music is more acclaimed and looked back on fondly than CC. Duran had a genuine renaissance of appreciation after having initially being maligned by critics for many years. culture club had no such re evaluation. and if they're gonna induct any act whose recorded "do you want to hurt me" put in violent femmes. the song is so bad I don't even like the femmes cover, but I LOOOOOVE violent femmes-put them in. as for my opinion which needs no justifications-i think karma chameleon, do you really want to hurt me, time clock of the heart, all those songs are annoying. and I dont like boy georges voice either. its all so plasticy. in my view, culture club are the point where "new wave" stopped reffering to more palatable yet artisier strains of punk-like DEVO Elvis Costello The Police the cars blondie etc, to begin referring to plasticy pop groups the majority of which I think are crap. I'm not being polite, for that I apologize but personally, I cannot see how culture club are a hall worthy band. I'm queer myself, and I think boy George is a complete hack. as for genuine evidence they are not well regarded nowadays, on rate your music, only 2 of their albums are above a 3.0. |

About the 2024 Inductees, ChrisD wrote:
| @Timothy Pernell: I think that one monster hit is enough for consideration. Many people don't even have a single hit, a few of those types were inducted this year. But they would have at least two songs in contention for their signature song no? Karma Chameleon and Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? The legacy of their 80's cultural cachet is as least equal to Duran Duran? And it's not like they had to be reassessed like Duran Duran, since they won Best New Artist at the Grammys. Boy George has quietly been active across media throughout the decades, similarly to Cyndi. He's currently on Broadway in Moulin Rouge I believe. I mean crudely speaking the Hall would fulfill some neglected queer quota with Culture Club. They were on the Hall's radar before with their song Time Clock of the Heart included in their 500 Songs that Shaped Rock. It wasn't even a major hit in the grand scheme of things and not the most recognized in their canon. Honestly I'm officially an advocate for Culture Club and I'll be spamming comment sections in fansites, forums and podcasts until they're on their radar. |

| ChrisD, CC might be perceived as a technical one-hit wonder. Despite scoring many transatlantic hits between 1982-86, they're primarily known as the band behind "Karma Chameleon", which is their signature song. But who knows? They could be a contender. George Michael is in (and I think they credit the Wham hits to him solely), Eurythmics, Depeche Mode and Duran Duran are in. But my guess is Culture Club have yet to make a serious case for an induction. Hope I'm wrong. |
