I was looking at the different artists nominated for the Punk Rock Genre, and I noticed that all the previous songs by the Buzzcocks that have been inducted (there are three of them) include "The" as part of their band name. Whether it is correct or not, I wonder if this song currently nominated should also have "The" for consistency's sake. Just a thought I had.
As always, thank you so much for all you do for these projects.
I checked on all the nominated country artists and was shocked to see that many of them do not even have a single album inducted. Since these are all Country Music Hall of Fame artists, which means important artists, we should probably do a better job getting their albums inducted. I've decided to only vote for artists who do not have any albums inducted, for the most part. I think we should try to get an album inducted for most of these artists, if possible.
2027 eligibles that I could see in rock hall conversation:
Beyonce
Kanye West
The Black Keys
Justin Timberlake
-------------
Maroon 5
Kelly Clarkson
Avril Lavigne
My Chemical Romance
Fall Out Boy
LCD Soundsystem
I have seen over the years FRL Regulars and New Voters post potential Nominees. Some might have only 2 or 3 big hits over a career. Others having a short peak and then disbanding. Alabama is definitely 1 of the biggest snubs and Beatlesque dominance in the 1980's and early 1990's. 21 straight #1 Singles including Artist of the Decade CMA (1989). Entertainer Of The Year 5 times in the 1980's. 40+ #1 Hit Songs and nearly 80 songs on the charts. Alabama has collected several awards and HOF enshrinement including Country Music Hall Of Fame (2005) and Musicians Hall Of Fame (2019). Plenty of Classic Songs including Love In The First Degree and Mountain Music. Alabama known for country music but also folk, gospel, and Southern Rock as well. With the RRHOF Committee nominating and inducting country music artists and rap and hip hop groups over the years, it doesn't make any sense that Alabama has not earned 1 nomination. Jeff Cook passed away a few years ago. It would be the right time to have Alabama inducted while they are still living. I've seen a few places Alabama has sold over 75 million records. They have checked many boxes for RRHOF. Incredible longevity, amazing commercial success, dozens of hit songs and gold and platinum albums, inductions in other HOFs, numerous awards by respected institutions, tremendous Influence on later country and rock artists, etc. It is time for Alabama to be nominated and inducted by 2030.
