Hello everyone!
As you know, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced the Class of 2018, which features Bon Jovi, Dire Straits, The Cars, Nina Simone, The Moody Blues and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. They will be removed from Notinhalloffame.com Rock and Roll list and now we are working on our next rendition.
The list is impacted annually by your votes and comments and we have seen in the past your input move an artist almost 100 spots. This year will be no exception.
Now we already have a Futures section reflecting those who are eligible for the next vote in December but we thought we would take the time to ask all of you where you think the following musicians deserve to be ranked by us.
Our first inkling is that of the new eligible artists none of them stand out as a first ballot entry. Frankly we are not sure that any of them are Top 50 worthy.
We certainly have some ideas, and we will be taking into consideration the votes that you have already given on each artist’s respective page in the futures section. However, we thought it prudent to ask all of you again here your thoughts about the potential rankings for the following:
AFI
Aimee Mann
Bjork
Blink-182
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
Built to Spill
Collective Soul
Counting Crows
Dave Matthews Band
DMX
Elastica
Everclear
Frank Black
Grant Lee Buffalo
Liz Phair
Rancid
The Roots
Shania Twain
Sheryl Crow
Snoop Dogg
Toni Braxton
We look forward to hearing any insight you may have!
It isn’t a question as to whether Toni Braxton has the commercial success that the Hall might be looking for. Where she might fail is that as much as she was thought of as an R&B diva she is equally remembered as an Adult Contemporary superstar. It is the latter that could be a problem for as much as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has been criticized for allowing in musicians who symbolize styles that are not considered Rock; Adult Contemporary is not one if them. This all makes a wonderful musical career but are we looking at one that could make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? This could be a difficult road.
