Spirit Of '77: Ramones, Pistols Nominated For Hall Of Fame
With punk rock progenitors the Sex Pistols and the Ramones
sharing the 2002 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination ballot
with more populist acts such as Jackson Browne and Tom Petty,
this year's end-of-ceremony jam session could be an anarchic
sight to behold.
The committee might not be brave enough to elect both
punk acts; and though seminal, the Pistols, who recorded only
one album proper in their short career, might be too
anti-establishment for the typically conservative Rock Hall.
By contrast, the Ramones recorded tirelessly for two decades --
exerting considerable influence on everyone from U2 to Green
Day -- and have the sympathy of the industry following the death
of singer Joey Ramone, who succumbed to lymphoma on April 15.
--Jon Wiederhorn
I would love to hear Bono's speech(if picked to do it)!
