I agree on many of those. The ones I don't agree on, I am not familiar enough with.

Which ones don’t you know - I’ll post 3 great songs from each.

Very good and inclusive list if I do say so myself.

I left off one of the most important bands - The Jam

As ridiculous as is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame itself!!

Helen Reddy. C'mon man..............have you lost your mind?

Never mind. That's personal and the amount of time you spend making lists for a tiny audience says it all..............

Anyway.

Go listen to some Whiskeytown or Wilco or something and stop with the ridiculous notions like this last bit.
I'm really quite embarrassed for you.

You have emotional issues and for a man of your years it is a shame.
even if the only audience is Wylie why does it bother you so much that you regularly comment on it.

For someone with an alleged background in music of which I have doubts you are some kind of killjoy curmudgeon.

That’s your business and if you need to make your comments as often as you wish - even every day, go at it. These are open space threads and you post what you need to post.

btw - your comments reach the same tiny audience but I guess you were not aware of that.

Lastly, you are one of the people here that I can say I know who you are inside. I know what you are.
You once gave that away.

Wilco should be on my list and I guess that’s why you mentioned them.
Valid comment.

I could name a dozen others but its simply pointless.

I consider your childish attempts at insults amusing.

About The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
in general. I have 24 acts on my revised list and I’m sure some of them will one day be in but The Hall exceeded my expectations in how it has accepted New Wave and punk. The Clash and The Sex Pistols and The Ramones to name a few and Iggy Pop as well. They need to do better but they have most of the highly successful and or influential artists.

I am not trying to insult you and I am sorry that you take it that way.
I do not post negative things about you but occasionally I respond to your attacks.

I have never attacked you.

Wylie me and others are open minded about other’s opinions or favorites - always.
Anybody that truly loves and appreciates art has an open mind and respect for others.

I find that bigoted people are close minded in many ways.

I know them all, just not familiar enough with them to say whether they should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I take that back..have no knowledge of X Ray Spex at all

Bob, what is your big issue with lennybruce and his lists? I have had some issues with him myself, but if he posts a list I'm not interested in, I just don't read it. Why do you care if he spends his time making lists very few will read?
I agree that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is somewhat ridiculous, but so are the baseball hall of fame and any others. There are always going to be people inducted that don't belong there (Harold Baines anyone?) and people who should be inducted but aren't.

Correct. Live and let live.
I don’t know of anyone who has refused being inducted into the R and R hall or didn’t consider it an honor nor I am sure does anyone think it is perfect.

They get more then 550,000 visitors each year in Cleveland no less.
Somebody likes it.

If he didn’t read my posts he would have a better day.
But read them he must.
I aim to please.
