Bon Jovi, The Cars, Dire Straits, The Moody Blues, and Nina Simone are the 2018 inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the organization announced Wednesday. Gospel pioneer Sister Rosetta Tharpe was chosen to receive the Award for Early Influence. For The Moody Blues, the honor comes after years of fans harping that the group deserved recognition. The band became eligible for the honor in 1989, and "in 2013, a Rolling Stone reader poll listed the Moody Blues as one of the top 10 bands that need to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame," according to the organization. read more http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/13/entertainment/rock-hall-fame-2018/index.html
The most Bogus asshole committee ever. The jackasses put rap in the rock hall of fame so they are dis credited their organization right away. They actually inducted Nat King Cole!!! Give them a chance to elect Perry Como. They never considered Paul Revere and the Raiders. The Doobie Brothers, Little Feat, Los Lobos, Tower of Power, Neville Brothers were never considered. No Deep Purple, William Clarke (great blues harp player),Humble Pie, Steve Miller, Johnny Winter, Rory Gallagher, The Fixx, Tommy Castro Band, James Gang with Joe Walsh, Joe Walsh. From the inception there was no criteria such as number of albums, years as a band, number of concerts or influence for other bands. I fuckin HATE the BOGUS Rock hall of Fame At least someone in there was logical and campaigned for Dire Straits, The Cars and Moody Blues. How the fuck can Nina Simone be Rock and Roll?. Sorry for the curse words but this is a piss me off subject!!!!! They would probably elect this into their BS hall of fame.
