Rock Music Hall of Fame
 

If there could only be five bands/artists included and you were in charge of choosing them, which five would you choose?

To make it more interesting, Elvis and The Beatles are already inaugurated.

Harry Pussy
Fushitsusha
GG Allin
Shonen Knife
Motorhead

Boredoms
Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band
John Fahey (this counts, right? He rocks!)
Sun City Girls

and, honestly.. Sonic Youth

sonic youth
the pixies
um..

those are two off the top of my head.

Sonic Youth are probably elligible now, but I want them to wait until I can induct them...

Shit, who am I kidding...they'll probably be inducted soon, and some twat like...like...

Hmm, who in the current music mainstream would they think is the closest they've got to Sonic Youth?

they'll get lou reed to do it, dead cert.

Sonic Youth
Black Sabbath
Jimi Hendrix
Neil Young
Chuck Berry

Ramleh
Neurosis
Electric Wizard
The Fall
The Dead C

melly so crazzeeeeeee

Troof.

I'd also include Van "Mr Sunshine and Smiles" Morrison, and get him to have a grouch-off with Lou Reed.

SY
Dino Jr
Sun City Girls
The Fall
Pixies

edited to remove waffling

don't succumb to their madness Instigator. As Princess Leia would say, "you're our only hope".

instigator is no kenobi! he is mad solo-ish tho, eh?
my friend has this shirt, i luv it-

I've been to the one in Cleveland.

It was shit.

Not just their choice of artists but the concept itself.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to atsonicpark again.

Another great list.

Zappa
Pavement (yeah, I'm serious )
Dino jr and Sonic Youth, of course

Einstuerzende Neubauten
The Saints
Television
Mayhem
Boris

Ben Chasny
Ruins
SY

Bowie
The Fall
Television
Led Zep
Talking Heads

Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, The Clash, Joni Mitchell, Radiohead

i think any band whose bad period has lasted longer than their good period should be disallowed (i.e. the rolling stones, the fall, etc)

Wesley Willis (not joking. the dude is the fucking essence of rock 'n' roll.)
The Fall
SY
Neil Young
Minutemen

Chuck Berry
Bob Dylan
Jimi Hendrix
Black Sabbath
The Ramones

Nice. My list is the same except I'd substitute The Fall for TG.

there already.

I don't want Throbbing Gritsle to be inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, because on the off chance that mainstream music tastes change A LOT, they'll get Trent Reznor to induct them. After all, he is the public face of "industrial music" for a lot of people...

Can Unwound be in the rock music hall of fame?

Big Star
Roxy Music
Sonic Youth
The Smiths
King Crimson

sonic youth, the velvet underground, bowie, patti smith, the stooges.

(oh hey, extremely obvious choices!)

Can
Jandek
Boredoms
Sonic Youth
Sun City Girls
