Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

Nomnomnom

You can vote for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees here, but if you vote for anyone but The JBs or Cheap Trick, then we can’t be friends anymore.

The JBs at their peak, with some guy singing and two brothers with weird names on guitar and bass:

    do you really have to give them your email to vote? I’m not doin’ that, sorry. But if it makes you feel any better I definitely would’ve voted for Cheap Trick. They kick ass.

      CHEAP TRICK FUCKIN’ RUUUUUUULE

      well now young internet warrior. I have a bunch of fake emails (aka. throw away emails) to use for just such a purpose. When the dang thing becomes inundated with too much crap, I abandon it and create a new one – or about 4 emails per year)
      even though i hate them all there is hotmail, yahoo and google to give you oodles of possibilities. (because cheap trick doth rule!)

        Ballot-stuffing implies endorsement of democracy, which I will have no truck with.

        As the man once said, Democracy is for Ancient Greeks.

        I never said to make multiple bids. Just use the email for one. I use them for a few things then throw the emails away.

    Los Lobos are way overdue. They blow all these other bands away easily.

      David ‘Mr . Charisma’ Hidalgo blows away Bootsy and Catfish Collins, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, and Jabo Starks?

      If you say so.

      • spencer

        Pretty sure Fred could blow over a old growth forest with his set of lungs. Bobby Byrd is already in the hall….time for the J.B’S to join him

    Warren Zevon not even in the running? They lost all credibility years ago.
