The Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame announced their 2025 Inductees: Phish, Billy Idol, Mariah Carey, Oasis, Sheryl Crow, and Missy Elliott.
I am sorry they were nominated, but who did the idiots in Cleveland (what musician of worth came out of that city) choose to induct? They went with Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Cyndi Lauper, Joe Cocker, Outkast, Soundgarden, and White Stripes.
I am sorry, but WTF? The people who were not inducted did more for music than the people who are getting honored. Well, minus Cyndi Lauper, her cover of Girls Just Want to Have Fun is an anthem for women. But the rest? I love Joe Cocker’s voice, but he is dead, so he can’t celebrate.
Seriously, that is why the museum is in Cleveland and not a major city. I can say that because I am from The Bronx, the birthplace of Hip Hop! We know music.
Back to the dummies in Cleveland. They didn’t listen to their fans. The fan poll showed that they wanted Phish and Billy Idol, who came 1st and 3rd respectively, and not The White Stripes and Outkast, who came in 11th and 12th respectively.
At least we all agree that Maná did not deserve to be included in the nominations.
There is a reason why many artists hate the RNRHOF, and that includes musicians who are in it.
What do you think of this year’s nominees?
