the guess who vs the rock and roll hall of fame

well earlier i posted about the moody blues and got many opinions. most were for inclusion. how about the guess who? my opinion is great songwriting and musicianship/singing. many top 10 songs and most of their classic songs are still fun to listen to. if you had a chance to see the guess who or alice cooper what would the choice be? i vote in. thanks

yes! burton cummings and randy bachman compared to david cassidy and the archies? that's a good one. ha. and everytime the rock n' hall gets it wrong they honor a musician like tom waits so there is hope.

"Let'em all in and make a complete mockery of rock and roll."

The most sensibly appropriate (albeit unintentionally) suggestion made here yet :-)

Anyone who makes music believes that they are their own hall of fame.
I personally think that the so called 'Hall of Fame' is a load of old bollox.

GB: Agree completely with your second sentence, but as to the first, I think most folks making rock and pop music, at least, know full well they're not worthy of their idols. And to cite the wit and wisdom of the Dictators once again, too many of 'em are just "careering in the industry", or trying to.

Maybe they should hold off on The Guess Who until there's a "Rock and Roll Hall of Mediocrity".
It better be a very large hall!
