General How Did Dolly Parton and Harry Belafonte Get in the Rock HoF Before the MC5?

[oblongo]

And when the MC5 finally did get in, they were in the less prestigious "Award for Musical Excellence" category.

rock and roll hall of fame is a fucking sham anyway

fucking rappers who got inducted before rock and roll artist, fucking shameful

MC5 are awesome......but Boston is not in the rock and roll Hall of Fame. One of the greatest classic rock bands of all time. That by itself tells you what an absolute joke the hof is.

That's a sad state and Lemmy is gone so it's too late.

I read that the only reason Foreigner finally got in was because Paul McCartney personally lobbied the board members. Hard to turn them down when a Beatle vouches for the bona fides.

 

[scourge]

Foreigner is a no-brainer inductee too. That place is a joke

Them vocals though

If you are talking about the first song, 1) it's a cover of an old blues song. The original was sung in false falsetto, so he does, too. 2) That's their lead guitarist. Their leader singer, who does the other numbers, is the guy with the white boy 'fro and the white pants.
