The 2014 Canadian Music Hall of Fame Inductees Posted by Roy on Saturday, 04/26/2014 @ 21:35pm |
Randy Bachman becomes the first two-time inductee into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame: Posted by Roy on Saturday, 04/26/2014 @ 21:38pm |
They were good but not great. Two songs were rock anthems, but in terms of style, they just weren't that original or influential. I really like the band, my own band has covered "Takin' Care of Business", but as far as their being HOF caliber, I don't think so. Then again, I said that about Heart once, too, so who knows?.

Do not meet the criteria for induction. Posted by Mark on Thursday, 07/19/2018 @ 19:16pm |
BTO, one of the big three Canadian artist of the 70s does not meet induction criteria???? Posted by Zuzu on Sunday, 07/22/2018 @ 17:43pm |
BTO didn’t made enough impact and influences to meet the Hall’s criteria, but I felt Mark is so wrong about Thin Lizzy though; much more influential than these guys. Posted by The Dude on Sunday, 07/22/2018 @ 18:43pm |
The Dude Posted by Zuzu on Sunday, 07/22/2018 @ 19:00pm |
I think Journey and Santana are a different story; both of them made enough impact and influences to get an induction before most of the 70's bands we have left so far, and their massive commercial success also made a big difference for them too. BTO did influenced some names like Van Halen, Foreigner, and even Toby Keith - but they just don't have enough to get in. Posted by The Dude on Sunday, 07/22/2018 @ 20:46pm |

BTO extremely unlikely to receive a nomination. Posted by Mark on Monday, 07/23/2018 @ 22:47pm |
Who do you think is more deserving? Posted by Zuzu on Monday, 07/23/2018 @ 23:13pm |
Lightfoot of the three mentioned deserves induction. Posted by Mark on Tuesday, 07/24/2018 @ 09:36am |

Todd Rundgren does have some support. If all 3 three were noms at the same time unless there was a ballot filled with top tier artist, all 3 would probably get inducted. If it was a loaded ballot as they should be, I feel TD would be the one that doesn't get inducted Posted by Zuzu on Tuesday, 07/24/2018 @ 12:49pm |

Like it or not, we’ll be seeing more bands who either went big in a way or debuted in the ‘70’s. BTO won’t get in, but these guys will next year. Posted by The Dude on Tuesday, 07/24/2018 @ 15:25pm |
Lay off the crack, Zuzu! Posted by KXB on Tuesday, 07/24/2018 @ 15:49pm |

Def Leppard was an 80s band. That is when they were big, Posted by Zuzu on Tuesday, 07/24/2018 @ 19:17pm |
"It took them 22 years to nominate the biggest selling rock act of the 70s - THERE WAS NO EXCUSE!!!!" Posted by Philip on Wednesday, 07/25/2018 @ 00:59am |
I don't think that this specific band would mind that there was no excuse. They understand that it is hard to say I'm sorry. Posted by The_Claw on Wednesday, 07/25/2018 @ 03:23am |
Philip check your figures again. Posted by Zuzu on Wednesday, 07/25/2018 @ 07:11am |
Obviously you do not read much claw and you don't get messages Posted by Zuzu on Wednesday, 07/25/2018 @ 07:33am |
Zuzu, this one is for you: Posted by The_Claw on Wednesday, 07/25/2018 @ 08:40am |
I can also explain the joke, if you wish. What was the name of Chicago's #1 hit in 1982? Posted by The_Claw on Wednesday, 07/25/2018 @ 08:44am |
Maybe you should reread what you wrote Don't Worry Be Happy!? Posted by Zuzu on Wednesday, 07/25/2018 @ 08:53am |
I am sorry, but that is a #1 hit for Bobby McFerrin in 1988. You may guess again, though. Posted by The_Claw on Wednesday, 07/25/2018 @ 08:55am |
Well since your mama never taught you I guess I have to come out and explain it to you. You do not make fun of something that somebody considers a problem. It is meant to belittle. Did I miss the inference or did you not ridicule what I said and what did you expect in response. Posted by Zuzu on Wednesday, 07/25/2018 @ 09:02am |
My mama did tell me this, but my daddy taught me to never pass up the opportunity to make a pun, even if it is a lame one. But you obviously don't care about dad jokes. Posted by The_Claw on Wednesday, 07/25/2018 @ 10:37am |
The_Claw, thanks for trying. When it comes to anything Chicago-related, Zuzu has no sense of humor, unless the joke's made by another Chicagoan. Posted by Philip on Wednesday, 07/25/2018 @ 21:45pm |

Just want to say I enjoy having Philip here & like reading his opinions/remarks. Posted by Paul in KY on Thursday, 07/26/2018 @ 11:25am |
Zuzu, I am sorry to hear that you've been ill. Hope you're feeling better. Posted by Philip on Thursday, 07/26/2018 @ 13:19pm |

Rolling Stone gave all Bachman-Turner Overdrive albums 2 out of 5 stars. Posted by Roy on Thursday, 07/26/2018 @ 16:22pm |
Thanks Roy. After my last post, it occurred to me that we should ask you to weigh in. You're a pretty avid fan of both acts, and if anyone would have the numbers, it'd be you. Posted by Philip on Thursday, 07/26/2018 @ 18:22pm |

They deal with total sales from album or record release to latest available sales. Posted by Zuzu on Friday, 07/27/2018 @ 18:49pm |

Nothing wrong with Baby Boomer music uncultured swine. Posted by Baby Boomer Fan on Wednesday, 02/5/2020 @ 12:37pm |
Hell yes. BTO kicks ass! Posted by JDL on Sunday, 08/8/2021 @ 17:34pm |
BTO and the Guess Who should both be in . Lots of lesser groups have made in . Maybe because they are Canadian ? USA NUMBER 1 rah rah Posted by Humpafew on Tuesday, 09/27/2022 @ 12:58pm |
Rest in Peace Robbie Bachman, BTO drummer and younger brother of Randy Bachman, 1953-2023 Posted by Joe S. on Friday, 01/13/2023 @ 01:50am |
Bachman-Turner Overdrive drummer, co-founder Robbie Bachman dead at 69 Posted by Roy on Saturday, 01/14/2023 @ 10:47am |
BTO 5 US top 40 songs, 4 mores songs in the top 100. 4 Top 40 albums. Guns & Roses do not have 4 Top 40 albums. They probably do not have 5 US top 40 songs. Whats going on with BTO, Come on people. Posted by C. Best on Monday, 02/20/2023 @ 07:04am |
I simply can't believe that BTO and The Guess Who are not both in the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame! They should be inducted as soon as possible while Randy Bachman is still around and performing! Shame on the Hall of Fame! I'll not visit again until these bands are in there! Posted by Ray Brown on Thursday, 02/23/2023 @ 14:58pm |
I believe Bachman Turner overdrive and the Guess who will eventually get in, maybe not now but not soon. Probably 9 or 10 yrs Posted by Steven Dwyer on Thursday, 03/30/2023 @ 01:56am |
Rest in Peace Tim Bachman, BTO's guitarist and co-founder, 1951-2023. Posted by Joe S. on Sunday, 04/30/2023 @ 16:15pm |
RIP Tim Bachman Posted by J.W. on Tuesday, 05/2/2023 @ 16:58pm |
