Lou Reed "Walk on the wild side side" His one & ONLY top 100 U.S. hit. (#16) And when I think of all the great recording artists that are NOT in the HOF & this guy is. Amazes the living shit out of me.
I don't know how old you are Tom but Artists with multiple hits not in the HOF there are MANY but just to name a few........ The Skyliners Paul Anka Chicago Whitney Houston Neil Sedaka Duprees Bad Company Yes Journey Leslie Gore Barry White Foreigner Guess who Bread Bobby Vinton Carol King Three dog night Phil Collins Trust me Tom There are way to many that are more deserving then Lou Reed & not just him but many others also. IMO its all political which is why I consider the R & R HOF as a joke.
Coming up on 48 my friend. But I do not follow things like R&R HOF. But I can tell you that Nobel prizes aren't what they used to be either, lol!
Yes I know, and NOBODY can explain to me what Obama did to earn one. BTW: I added to the R & R HOF snubs. Some amazing artists on that list.
Blind Boy Melon and The Grunts as well as Robert Johnson inspired as many R&R Musicians, from Clapton, Beck, Page, BB. King, SRV.......yet, the young 29 year old tunes, "Crossroads", enabled 1,000s of electric blues groups/talents, yet has no place for his own Exhibit. RJ was shot dead at 29, when He was found cheating on antoher man's wife, and both were shot dead. True Story, and Mythological damn near. Blind Boy Shoe Horn, and Id'z Brass an Sax Trombone Trumpet, ETC band. Tyrone Shoelaces, and the Cousin Chasing Woodsfolks, of:_______X
...^^^ Unfortunately the RR HOF is as full of unjustices as the Baseball HOF. ...I am a big fan of many artists and groups and one of them is the group "Heart" and though they were finally inducted a couple of years ago, I couldn't understand why it took so long and why other less deserving artists/groups has been granted membership. ...ABBA and The Beastie Boys were voted in first?...please.
