but also here’s my question: if he’s playing the whole song on the 12, why do you even need the twin neck? does he just prefer to do it for showoff reasons? is he no longer able to play single neck?seems v dumb & unnecessary to me

i think it's just for people, it's the classic page thing, in the video i saw (phone video from a different angle) dudes were like yelling THE DOUBLE NECK! THE DOUBLE NECK! YES! lol it's just rock n roll fun

it's also weird he's doing it on 12 string because that's way harder to play and the song as you said was a six string song

i know i know Page is parodying himself st this point but i see him so rarely now i forget what a dork he is sidebar: the other night i saw the video for Coverdale Page’s “Take Me Me For A Little While” and Page was playing that stupid fucking guitar-harp monstrosity with a straight face … sheer nonsense lol
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 7 November 2023 00:45 (five months ago) link
Oh wow, when the guitar-harp is only the fifth or sixth-most ridiculous thing in your video...

The Caretaker?
― calstars, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 02:03 (three months ago) link
Lil Wayne would seem to cover commercial success/critical acclaim above and beyond...A couple of weeks ago, I heard the Pet Shop Boys on consecutive days out in the world: "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" in a mall record store, then "Always on My Mind" on the radio. I used to resign myself to the idea that they'll never go in because they're more of a British institution, and the HOF has a decided American slant. I've changed my mind on that. It's silly that the PSB aren't in. Will they get a second chance at some point?
― clemenza, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 02:06 (three months ago) link
I doubt Clipse, Phoenix, Rilo Kiley or The Shins will ever get in (and I'm not even sure any of them deserve to be inducted - only Clipse has made a truly great album IMHO), but I like enough of their stuff to vote for them. (Despite the taint of Garden State, the Shins have made two, maybe three albums I genuinely like.)

If New Order/Joy Division can get nominated together, why not their Canadian equivalent Randy and Tal?
― Halfway there but for you, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 02:45 (three months ago) link
Mates of State, wow. imagine making a list of bands eligible for the RNRHOF and including Mates of State.
― alpine static, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 02:46 (three months ago) link
that said, i've always though the hall needed more Mraz
That would be pretty awesome if Ted Leo & the Pharmacists get in. I don't think it'll ever happen - not even a nomination - but Leo just strikes me as one of the most decent guys in rock, and he's still doing it after all those years. The story about his wife's illness and everything he did to keep things afloat is moving. I still end up seeing him a lot because of his free shows and opening sets, and over the past eight years he's the only act I know who's managed to give thoughtful, intelligent and earnest pleas to his audience to politically engage without resorting to insults or working himself up into a rage-filled rant.

Feel like "The Caretaker" and "Caretaker" are gonna split the Caretaker vote.

Nobody seems like a slam dunk until Beyonce in 2028. (Kanye is also eligible that year, but I wonder now how that's going to go.)
― jaymc, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 03:47 (three months ago) link
does the hall have an old-timers' committee like baseball? They Might Be Giants should be in already!

I was trying to find the Harold Baines here, the absolutely average artist who might have the longevity and industry goodwill to make it, the Foo Fighters rule I suppose, but no one fits the bill.
― omar little, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 05:01 (three months ago) link
(oh, I see Beyonce and Kanye are actually eligible in 2027 bc they released singles in 2002)
― jaymc, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 05:10 (three months ago) link
(xpost) That argument is basically made for Ted Leo just above. I don't think you can do that for this HOF. If you took all the reprobates (and much worse) out and started replacing them with good people, it'd be filled with, I don't know, Bruce Hornsby and the guy who sang "Good Morning Starshine." It wouldn't feel right.

Watching the (edited) 2023 Induction Ceremony on ABC…. Bernie Taupin’s digs at Wenner were widely reported, but I hadn’t read about how his comments (celebrating diversity at the ceremony) also featured a passionate defense of “pop”:
“Diversity in genres and styles is exciting and relevant. When it exactly was when the term ‘pop’ became a dirty word, I don’t know. (…) Every artist in this musical institution and every artist inducted on this stage tonight is pop(…).”

Looking at that list above, I guess Coheed & Cambria, Lil Wayne and Phoenix look the most likely to get in?
― Siegbran, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 13:34 (three months ago) link
Fully aware that this says more about me than them, but I have literally never heard of Coheed & Cambria.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 15:00 (three months ago) link
None of these will get in for a while but here are the ones I think they'll eventually go for:
50 CentJohn MayerJennifer LopezLil Wayne
― Chris L, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 15:04 (three months ago) link
Coheed & Cambria are an emo/prog band with a huge cult following, basically Tool/NIN for millennials. Not my thing but I’m sure they’ll get voted in at some point.
― Siegbran, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 17:36 (three months ago) link
Trapt is going in
― Disco Biollante (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 2 January 2024 17:44 (three months ago) link
(xpost) I looked them up...They've had a few Top 10 albums, but in all honesty, they seem to have a somewhat narrow, genre-specific fan base. I know I don't keep up, but there's never been an inductee I've never even heard of. If you're right, I have to believe "at some point" means decades from now. I suspect there are a lot of more famous possibilities to get to first.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 17:50 (three months ago) link
One example among dozens, probably hundreds (listening to a sale CD I bought last week): TLC. Says here they've been eligible since 2018.
https://futurerocklegends.com/Artist/TLC/
(Their "HOF Indicators" are interesting--most are good, but the only critical barometer looks like the Rolling Stone list, so they'd need a lot more there, I'd say. And they definitely need to add something commercial/sales/chart-based.)
― clemenza, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 18:20 (three months ago) link
The last 50s-associated artists to be inducted were several backing bands in 2012. The last 60s-associated artists to be inducted were the Zombies in 2019. (Proper induction, not being snuck in a back door.) Can we assume that the Hall is done with adding acts that are primarily associated with those decades?
― Halfway there but for you, Tuesday, 2 January 2024 18:48 (three months ago) link
Probably, tho there are at least these perpetual snubees to consider (and how many years they've been eligible):
Johnny Burnette and the Rock N Roll Trio 42Connie Francis 40Jan & Dean 38Dick Dale 36Peter, Paul & Mary 36Toots & the Maytals 36Barry White 35Cher 33The Guess Who 33The Sonics 33Captain Beefheart 32Jim Croce 32Love 32The Monkees 32Scott Walker 32Tommy James & the Shondells 32Harry Nilsson 31Can 30Jethro Tull 30Silver Apples 30The Carpenters 29King Crimson 29Kool & the Gang 29Nick Drake 29Three Dog Night 29Diana Ross 28Emerson, Lake & Palmer 28Sparks 27Big Star 26Blue Öyster Cult 26Neu! 26The Pointer Sisters 25
