You have to wonder though if this is a diversity over merit thing with them.

Why's that? Not enough of the usual U K / Canada, English-speaking quota pushing out the rest of the world?
I think it's just a great band doing what they do. People can listen to the music, or turn off the radio. But greater that that, they get to go in with Todd Rundgren; the late Ralph Schuckett of Utopia worked with Belinda Carlisle.

The HOF needs more female representation is what I'm getting at as I don't consider them hall of famers. |

Nah, Carole King's going in to the Hall too, but Neil Sedaka and Jackie DeShannon should go in with her.
The Go-Go's will probably play 'Unforgiven' at the ceremony if covid rules are relaxed, one of the great comeback singles alongside 'Maria' by Blondie, but they'll need to get Billie Joe Armstrong to attend. So, something to look forward to during dark days of survival and economic hardship.

Mr. Lydon is right, it's a piss stain. There's a lot of act who are less influential and sold a lot less records are in. The Go-Go's deserve. The RR HOF is a piss stain when they let in non-Rock act like NWA and Run DMC in. It's like putting Kareem Abdul-Jabbar into the Football HOF or Beethoven into the C/W HOF.
When will they put the Wrecking Crew in? Studio musicians are as much of a part of Rock music as band members. No band in history has put out more hits than the Wrecking Crew.

I guess so. He said he was right that everybody should obviously "blue-collar" "working-class" vote for Donald Trump where eligible and I'm certainly in no position to argue as I'm British (I think).
Beyond, zos is your man, he was on the last John Lydon thread I read here on imdb2 Music.

It's just that I quit taking the HOF seriously when the rap/hip-hop artists got in. And I've heard the "Robert Johnson is in and he died nearly 20 years before the start of Rock." argument. Okay, he's an influencer. Just how much is Jay Z influencing rock music today?

If they just stuck with rock and roll, they would have started having a couple of inductions each year. Even when it started in the late 80s,they had artists with tenuous connections to rock. |

I hope the Bangles make it to the Hall of Fame someday.
