The rock and roll hall of fame has always been a joke.
Really? Wow, that's impressiveAutotune, Pitch Correct my arse.
Yes, Ian's the man. I think I'd tell 'em to put it somewhere dark too("Ian Paice told me earlier this year the accolade is so long overdue he would prefer to decline)"
LOL! That is so funny! I totally understand. Go get 'em, Ian!
Call me crazy but i don't even know who Kraftwerk, The Meters and Randy Newman is! Maybe they was before my time. lol
What's the rock n roll hall of fame?
Kraftwerks and the Meters fall into the category of bands that influenced tons of other bands more than they achieved mainstream success. You may not have heard of them, but bands you have heard of them cite them as influences. So in that extent, I get it.
As for Randy Newman, I have no idea how he's even in the conversation.
Just went over to Youtube and searched all three of these bands/people. After about one minute of hearing Kraftwerks i realized where we got all this Dubstep music we get today ( Skrillex anyone?) which i hate..JMO. The Meters is a funk band, which is something i can tolerate but not something i would run out to buy or pay to see live. They actually had a few songs i could listen to though.
Found this. This song had the most views so i clicked it.

I'll swear i've heard this guy sing other songs in movies. I just can't put my finger on it yet. lol But i agree, i don't know how he got nominated either.
Imagine a typical Hard Rock cafe, only they don't serve food, but charge you $20 to get in.
How did Public Enemy and N.W.A get on this list? What do they have to do with R&R?
Call me crazy but i don't even know who Kraftwerk, The Meters and Randy Newman is! Maybe they was before my time. lol
Randy Newman is a multiple Grammy, Emmy, and Academy award winning singer, song writer , score composer .
he has been putting out records and collaborating with artists since the late 60s
how should he not be in the conversation?
.....and the Meters " had a few songs i could listen to though." ???
are you a drummer?
