Re: NZC - RnR HOF

[ZepContent@xxxxxxx]

IMO

the RnR HOF doesn't really mean anything

it's like those top 100 playlists that radio station put together and  play 
during
labor day weekend or other holidays

or it's like an  anthology of your fav music or band 
except it's somebody else's  choice!

from the time the HOF got started until now
most  artists  don't take it seriously

It is a great opportunity to see some of your  favs play or speak
but that's it !

The list of inductees to the RnR HoF is definitely a mixed  bag of artists, 
some of whom I don't consider to be rock 'n rollers.  I  think if they were 
a big influence in rock music then it's ok for them to be  included.  What 
I don't understand is how some genuinely great rock bands  have been so far 
excluded from the HoF over some of these influential "non-rock"  artists.  I 
visited the RnR HoF a few months ago for the first time.   It's pretty good 
but at this time doesn't have much in the way of Zep  stuff.  I got to see 
JPJ's bass from the '77-'80 period (Alembic?) and that  was really awesome.
