19 comments so far (post your own)Really should have been a first ballot HOFer. Those who say no should really listen to their albums. Especially their 70's albums. They would be legendary if they were born in the US. Posted by clark80 on Tuesday, 08/20/2013 @ 22:40pm |
All they are really remembered for is The Twilight Zone Posted by Roy on Tuesday, 08/20/2013 @ 22:46pm |
And Radar Love Posted by Aaron O'Donnell on Wednesday, 08/21/2013 @ 02:22am |

do u people even listen to what they have done they are the only band that has the same four people since 1963 who can top that so friggin bite me Posted by david on Saturday, 09/28/2013 @ 04:04am |
The current line-up was established in 1970, when (the excellent) drummer Cesar Zuiderwijk joined the band. Furthermore, lead singer Barry Hay is only part of the band since '67. Posted by The_Claw on Saturday, 09/28/2013 @ 04:35am |
I did some more research, because I was intrigued by the question which band has performed with the same lineup for the longest time, and Golden Earring are among the top contenders. Posted by The_Claw on Saturday, 09/28/2013 @ 09:21am |
It's a shame Golden Earring is so largely ignored in the United States. Few bands have accomplished what they have over their lifetime, and as of 2016 they are still going strong. Unlike many bands like ZZ Top that have survived for so long, Golden Earring have continuously toured and recorded new music with the exception of a 1 year hiatus in 2000. Just go to Amazon and read some of the reviews. May I suggest you start with the self-titled album from 1970 (also known as the Wall of Dolls). It is a rock and roll masterpiece! And no, it's no their first album, it's their sixth. Their first album was released in 1965 which had a Mersey beat type of sound, but just 2 years later, they already had a sound that was all their own. Unlike bands like ZZ Top, Golden Earring have never sold out, and never will!! For this, they get my vote! Posted by Scap on Saturday, 04/2/2016 @ 19:28pm |
My dad was a fan when they first appaired. When I was 19 (1997) he took me to their concert only a 10 minute walk from my home. I've been going eversince (each year). Next time I'm going to bring my youngest daughter along. 3rd genaration! They should definetly be inducted. And not only because of twilight zone and radar love.

I learned about Golden Earring in the 1970s when I was in college and was able to get copies of most their albums. They have so many unique songs and have continued to merge a very strong rock with jazz, folk, blues, classical and even gospel under numerous themes. Posted by LBI on Sunday, 04/28/2019 @ 02:07am |
They need to be listed. Should have been already years ago. Shame it has not be the case. Especially now, since one the founders, George Kooymans, is seriously ill (ASL disease) which forces the band to stop after 55 years. Posted by Richard on Monday, 02/8/2021 @ 03:32am |
World's best en oldest band. Posted by Henk Reijerse on Sunday, 03/21/2021 @ 07:23am |
It is absurd to near any Rock musician (4 in my family) that Golden Earring is not in the Rock Hall of Fame. Too few people have bothered to listen to many of their songs, which there are dozens of outstanding Rock songs. Posted by Rj Klein on Tuesday, 05/18/2021 @ 07:37am |
In no way do i consider greatness measured by being inducted into the crappy RRHOF. Bands like " The Guess Who" and " Golden Earring" shouldve been included long before others in there if it had anything to do with talent. Posted by Gordon Hatch on Monday, 05/24/2021 @ 12:09pm |
They should be in the RHF! Posted by M Tooke on Wednesday, 01/19/2022 @ 13:25pm |
Oh boy, there is a lot of very stupid and lazy people. How can 39% vote not to induct Golden Earring!!! To me is may be the most underrated band in the whole world. Just because they didn't choose to fly over the ocean that doesn't mean is not an elegible candidate. They're way more qualified than many already inducted. I can be hours playing songs like Vanilla Queen (specially the live version in Winterland 4/25/1975 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=983mztA-_cM). These guys deserve to be in the RHF. I hope people reconsider it and vote for them. Posted by JAIME MENA on Monday, 04/11/2022 @ 03:01am |
The Hall of fame for American bands only? The Golden Earring made so many terifffic songs and went along with the time so great. 1961 till 2021 when kooimans was diagnosted seriously ill. They aways had a steady lineup. Also their last album Tits 'n Ass got so many on the road songs. Posted by Casedy on Thursday, 06/23/2022 @ 17:10pm |
Golden Earring has sustaining Hits that still roam the airwaves daily, if they're still on the radio and relevant in 2023, you best put them in the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame. They earned it unlike the many already in. Posted by Lord Piddlepuck on Sunday, 08/13/2023 @ 15:19pm |
When you lacked artistic influence, innovation & cultural/groundbreaking impact then I coukd see why Golden Earring is not going to be inducted. Posted by Jordan Einstein on Monday, 08/14/2023 @ 11:17am |
