VAN HALEN has been nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, along with eight other acts, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer. This is the first nomination for VAN HALEN, although the group has been eligible for at least the past three years. R.E.M. and the RONETTES are the other first-time nominees on the latest Rock Hall ballot, which also has CHIC, THE DAVE CLARK FIVE, GRANDMASTER FLASH, PATTI SMITH, THE STOOGES and JOE TEX in the running again for enshrinement, according to a source familiar with the nomination proceedings. www.cleveland.com/entertainment/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/entertainment/1162024719301610.xml&coll=2 |

So much for the KISS Army gathering in Cleveland to get them nominated. At least they got Van Halen right. Hahaha RRHOF what a joke.  |

Actually..."RRHOF" is an abreviation for the sound that most people make while tossing their cookies upon hearing who's up for induction... ...you mean to say that Run DMC is going to be inducted into the hall of fame?  ..."RRHOF "!!!!!!! Thanks Kim |

Kiss, Kansas, Styx, Boston, and such will never get a sniff because the socalled rolling stones "experts" (of which none ever made any music themselves) decided that these types of bands were unworthy.
Even though they have sold more records and filled more stadiums than 75% of the acts they nominate.
Greatness should be measured by how many people like your music, not by having the supposed right people like it.
I've never been big on Kiss, Michael Jackson, or Bruce Springsteen for that matter. But millions of fans say the were great, so that should be the measure IMO.

It's cool that Van Halen was nominated, but once again, I see that The Alice Cooper Group has been passed up...in favor of REM. Chic and Grandmaster Flash. Just WTF.... |

I couldn't agree more.I'll be a non believer of the R & R hall of Fame until Alice Cooper Group get inducted.Hell they have one of his guillotines on display.I don't know why it's not called the Music Hall of Fame as long as they have bands like Chic & Grand Master Flash. Oh well at least Alice Cooper's restaurant is a few blocks down the street from the HOF & it's pretty cool inside there. |

I'm only concerned with Pete's Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. It's in my head and Van Halen is alread there. David Gilmour was the first inductee and he gets re-inducted year after year. Although I keep getting angry letters from the Wicked Marry Army. Fortunately it's an army of one.. ;D  |

CHIC, THE DAVE CLARK FIVE, GRANDMASTER FLASH, PATTI SMITH, THE STOOGES and JOE TEX What are you talking about! These artists deserve it MUCH MORE than KISS, Judas priest, Deep Purple, and RUSH! |

Don't even get me started on the RARHOF.... Nothing against bands and artists like The Pretenders & Elvis Costello, but how it the world do they get inducted before bands like KISS, Deep Purple, Van Halen and Rush!? ...And now they are considering The Stooges, Joe Tex, Chic & Patti Smith!? HUH!? Imagine if the Pro Football Hall Of Fame inducted someone like Neil O'Donnel but not Terry Bradshaw! That would be pretty stupid, wouldn't it? On that note, I present to you, the so-called Rock & Roll Hall of Fame |

I know. I know. I couldn't believe it. I've been nominated ....for my farts! Admittedly though, they've got a 'certain' harmonic resonance.  |
