Westside Steve's Movie Reviews
48 9 1.9k



  • Punk
    This shit ain't nothing to me, man.



  • Industrial. It's got a much heavier and less pop-on-speed sound.Born more out of heavy metal than old fashioned rock and roll. Also heavily electro/techno/synthesizer infused. Sort of like if black sabbath fucked the cars and had a bastard child
    This shit ain't nothing to me, man.

  • yea 8 picks? seems a bit too much for the official elections?

    I like Yes and Deep Purple as the British Prog / Rock acts of the 70's

    (70's -the dynasty of music)

    I like The Spinners and lastly Chicago - especially the early years...

  • If I picked 3 locks I'd say The Cars, Chicago and N.W.A.

    This shit ain't nothing to me, man.

  • I would elect Yes, Nine Inch Nails, Chicago, and the Cars.

    The rest no

    "And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve."

  • Yes and no one else until Tull is in...

  • Deep Purple.. The only valid inductee...Unless the name is changed to the Rock n Roll Hall of Mediocrity... Which after having been to the place,, I can only say,,,, It's a fucking joke... Who cares anymore.. It's a damn joke..

    Our musical works to date http://www.arielsatticmusic.com/

  • The cars, Steve miller and Chicago all have way more hits and radio airplay than deep purple. Deep purple is what Gipper would describe as "the Dan fouts of rock" nothing special. Post something that convinces me otherwise.

  • Yep. Steve Miller has a raft of hits and in my opinion he is the very definition mediocrity. Oh well. You will never go broke betting against the good taste of the American public.

    I am not sure how many they will officially let in. I don't know if this is like the PFHOF where they have a limit of between 4-7 that must go in.......or if it is like Baseball......however many get a certain percentage of the vote they all get in, be that -0- or ten or twelve.

    Dan Fouts IS a Hall of Famer, ergo, I guess you think Deep Purple must go in. So, it seems you convinced yourself... 😮

  • I guess I was thinking of another post you made. Still I don't get the love for deep purple. The two hits they do have aren't all that good. The norm snead of rock then.

    This shit ain't nothing to me, man.

    If hit songs were the total measure, then the Grateful Dead and a number of others who are in would not be there. They would just rotely put in the best selling acts.

    Is that what you want?

    I felt the same way you do about Rush....yet they are in. I would take DP over Rush.

    And I like Dire Straits better as well. I might agree with you....slightly.

    Ok. What is your criteria for hall of fame. One would be success in which steve miller puts deep purple to shame.

    Another would be enduring legacy in which the grateful dead puts deep purple to shame. The point is deep purple had a couple of modest hits no more. They're definitely not drawing people to festivals and spawning an empire of merchandise like the grateful dead is still doing.

    My criteria is whatever the hell it is that I personally like. I don't know that you can say there is any criteria. And I think that you are under the misimpression that I am all heavily in favor of DP getting in. I am not. I am only saying that amongst the acts that are finalists, they could deserve as much as any, I suppose. But there are a ton of other acts that I would rather see in....but they are not being considered.
