Those guys were all big fans of Elvis and they are awesome, was my point.

Draco's got the hair, but Neville's got the 'tude.

Personally, I think we can stretch this Warner Brothers exec story out into a spec script. Maybe throw in a sequel if you can introduce some romance.

I pretty much agree, there. The big issue I see is that they really stopped inducting enough groups and that, combined with an aging board who felt Black Sabbath shouldn't go in before Del Shannon, means things have gotten pretty bottlenecked. There are actually only a handful of acts that have been inducted that I…

This is probably my favorite one, ever.

Busy calculating the long list of great rock musicians you just called under informed.

Living Colour's Vivid is one of my favorite records of all time. Time's Up is pretty great, too.

Whatever your preferences are, I suspect you would never say Elvis Presley isn't rock n' roll. He's the guy who defined it at the start. And Aretha Franklin's music sounds more like Elvis Presley than half of the bands on your list.

If you don't think "Chain of Fools" is every bit as much rock n' roll as Elvis Presley or Little Richard, then I don't know what to tell you. Other than you're clearly, deeply, verifiably wrong and may God have mercy on your soul.

You want to kick Aretha Franklin out of the rock n' roll hall of fame and you said that on the internet.

Patti Smith isn't a band, but I'd hardly call her commercially successful in the usual sense.

Here's the thing: It's called the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. And there's a direct lineage from Rock n' Roll to Soul to Funk to Rap. Leaving Rap out is basically akin to Rock n' Roll saying "I have no great-grandson!". It's also basically allowing 80s radio formatters to decide what's rock or not. "Hey, they never…

"It was easy enough in the beginning," says Jann Wenner, 69, chairman of the Rock Hall Foundation and founder, editor and publisher of Rolling Stone. "But at this point, all the clear, obvious people have been inducted, and it comes down to personal taste."

Agreed. I see the museum and the inductions as two separate things. When I was there waaaaaay back in 1999, I got to see one of Devo's old costumes with the weird hat and everything. Devo - good enough for the museum. Not good enough for induction, apparently.

I used to drive around in my beater car with a cassette copy of Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot stuck in the tape deck. I remember liking it, but I tried to listen to it on Spotify the other day and, while I enjoyed them, I literally couldn't remember any of the songs. Weird.

I'd rather be dead than cool.

But unlike for KISS, that time period eventually ended for Twisted Sister.

Tipper? I barely know her!

I used to live in Waxahachie. I have no idea why someone would name their music project after that shithole.

Infinitely more diverse than U2? Where's their Achtung Baby?
