Why should we care, though? Hasn't the HOF been a joke long enough as is?
Oh sweetie, don't worry about them. They're just snob wannabes. Real snobs don't give a flying fuck who's in the Hall of Fame.
In all seriousness, I think the idea of a RnRHOF is stupid because music is way too subjective. In sports, at least the statistics mean something. In music, awards and record sales are commonly disputed as measurements of talent, which really means that there isn't any reasonable way to form said Hall of Fame. No two HOFs would look much alike.
That said, Aerosmith still shouldn't be in.
for the people here that like the VU, do you enjoy any kinda of "party music? i mean you think ALL music needs to be as serious as the VU?
Bottom line is this: they fucking recorded Love In An Elevator. If that laughable, embarrassing dreck isn't an instant disqualification, I don't know what is.

the reason i ask it is because somebody brought the VU into the discussion as the type of group that should be in and not some bands like aerosmith. And another irony of this is that, while it was said here having aerosmith and VU in the same hall is a contradiction , alot of "real music fans/snobs" think having u2 and VU is a contradiction . I seem to recall some very negative feedback from the music world when the VU reunited and opened for u2. I believe, someone said "having the VU open for u2 is like having jimi hendrix opening for the monkeys". Your calling aerosmith dreck meanwhile thats the exact word most underground knowledgeable music fans have for our fav band,u2.Thats quite interesting. I mean sorry you can't get my point. Lets work it this way? why do you think aerosmith sux? Just answer that for me please . Maybe i missed something. Just tell me that.
and i was wrong for saying party music. What i meant was, do the people here that dislike aerosmith also dislike van halen,ac/dc, etc? Is it that, you hate commercial music or you just think aerosmith is a band that is bad at what they do? regardless of their style.
no Kiss/RHCP until Rush and Yes are inducted. Those are way more egregious examples of the irrelevance and ridiculousness of the RnRHOF
So is recording dreck an automatic disqualification?
Bowie is great, but david bowie's best stuff is not commercial.
well i did say at least in the us. It wasn't a dig at other country's. But regardless, i would like to see his us numbers.
