Thread: RUSH inducted in the R&R Hall of Fame!

  1. #51
    I love Geddy's cool take on it all. Accepting the honor with dignity. It's amazing to read some of the negative comments towards the RRHOF for taking them so long to get Rush in there.

    To me, it makes no difference. I love Rush and always will - but recognition by any institution is nice - it's icing on the cake.

    Long love Rush.

    until recently maybe?

    There's nothing to sour on. You can't have a "hall of fame" for something as subjective as music. It's just a music museum that Wenner and his monstrous ego decided to call a hall of fame. Nothing more. I will never understand why gaining entry into this thing is so bloody important to so many fans, and who so many people are outraged when their favorites are snubbed. Who the hell cares? Like anyone needs Wenner's validation. Like it's going to make you love your favorite bands any more or less.

Hank Williams was inducted in the Hall's second class, as was Aretha Franklin. Country and soul artists. Not really rock and roll artists. But nobody complained then.

    All-Star jam with Rush and Heart - cool
    Compact Disk brought high fidelity to the masses and audiophiles will never forgive it for that

    Anyone can get in if they pay admission.

    I'm sure that the Rush Documentary Beyond The Lighted Stage had a lot to do with their nomination, and rightly so.

    Rush is as deserving a band as there is on the planet. They have been on an awesome roll.

    If Rush performs at the ceremony, they should do a Donna Summer classic..."On the Radio", "Hot Stuff", or the like. That would be a hoot.

    At least they did something right with Rush finally getting in. I agree that it's a joke that Deep Purple was snubbed.

    Couldn't have said it better myself! But no Deep Purple. Public Enemy, Donna Summer and Randy Newman, but no Deep Purple. Shameful. But at least the Rush induction will be worth watching.

    Nope, don't stop. They keep inducting non-rock acts, and bad ones at that. But I'm nothing but happy for Rush, being honored even by a joke organization like this is a very good thing.

    Umm....Hall & Oates aren't in the RRHoF - though they should be.

    As well as Chicago, Deep Purple, The Moody Blues, and on and on and on...




    Personally, I think it would be awesome if Rush did "Smoke on the Water" during their induction.

    OK, then. So who's "bad" out of this group of inductees? Explain to me - in as much detail as possible - why you think that Rush should make the cut over some of the others.

    Spoken like a true Philadelphian, but not until Loggins and Messina will that ever happen.

    Awesome. Genesis and now Rush. People may not care for the RRHOF, but I actually like the genre of creative rock music being legitimized by the mainstream.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^QFT!

    All of the above bands are worthy of being "inducted". Hall and Oates for owning the radio waves from 81>85, Chicago for their 1st 10 years, ditto for DP and the Moodies.
