video mix: real hall of famers

this 11-video playlist of YouTube videos counts as my mim mix for March. but its not just about the music this time. i must rant first, then rock. read on....

the rock and roll hall of fame has again proved itself to be an exclusive club of musical snobs. after finally nominating KISS once, the voters inevitably snubbed KISS once again. snubbing snobs. then the 2011 ballot didn't even include them. the BIG LIE that is the rock hall is really about rock music because it clearly doesn't have a clue about honoring real rock bands. 

these 11 bands have all been left out of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. most of them have never even been nominated despite being eligible for several years. the first three bands on this list are no-brainers for any rock and roll fan with even half of their brain cells left. Deep Purple, Rush and KISS have basically been snubbed and insulted by the so-called Hall of Fame. these obvious omissions are why it should be known as the ROCK HALL OF SHAME!

it is MY ADVICE to anyone who sees the hall as a sham like i do that they should vow to NOT VISIT THE MUSEUM! don't go there. don't even go to CLEVELAND. no one should. all their sports teams SUCK anyway. i think LeBron James is a KISS fan. that's why he left. who would want to stay in a city that allows idiots to run a museum? those people wouldn't know rock and roll if it stepped on their tiny feet with 7-inch heels with demon teeth. the editors of Rolling Stone are also part of the elite snobs that help in the snubbing. DON'T BUY their lame magazine either. on the rare occasion that they do have anything interesting to read i usually find it for free on the internets. i won't give my money to RS or RRHoF or Cleveland.  

in 2011, the shameful idiots finally put Alice Cooper in the club. i think it might have been on tv or something recently. it is about time! i think he was the only one inducted this year that deserves to be inducted at all. i mean, seriously! Neil Diamond and Tom Waits get in before YES or Cheap Trick? what is so "rock and roll" about that?  it all just makes me want to puke (on the people responsible). i don't even know why i care anymore.

so here is a video mim mix featuring 11 acts (mostly from the 1970's) that have been erroneously excluded from the rock and roll hall of fame. any discussion of rock history is a sham without honoring these bands along with the others that have already been inducted. SHAME on you rock hall! this is what rock music is all about...

i do have to say that the rock hall has indeed honored some of my favorites in the past like the absolutely amazing (i can't wait to see in concert) Prince, The Clash, The Police, AC/DC and others. and since they are getting to the 1980's bands now, they should look back at the great rock acts from the 1970's and see who was missed. i personally think that the 1970's was when rock grew up. good bands became great. some became legends. KISS was a household name after only a few years on the scene. everyone in America knew of KISS as the most popular rock band in the 1970's. no discussion of rock music history can go any farther without mentioning the impact of KISS. there is no good explanation for leaving them out. i don't think that music snobs should be in charge of rock history. they are apparently trying to rewrite it. but you can't unring that bell. or unspit that blood. or unshoot that rocket. the makeup wearing warriors kicked ass and took names for the sake of rock and roll. so what if the critics didn't notice. the rest of us had great time. the rock and roll hall of shame can KISS my ASS. that is all i have to say about this travesty...
