By the time we finish the Songs Of Proof trek, it'll be time for the nominees for next year to come out, or thereabouts, so probably something I should look into doing in early '19.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292012228944104037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3760137241594753268.post-56619057464315135972018-01-27T21:12:00.359-08:002018-01-27T21:12:00.359-08:00All these years later, I wonder if LL Cool J would...All these years later, I wonder if LL Cool J would be in first now, or if Conway Twitty would still be in last.Followerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584710940928310564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3760137241594753268.post-57087372949414130912012-01-10T20:55:56.969-08:002012-01-10T20:55:56.969-08:00I would never tear this apart.

In my mind more than anything it says that the Hall needs to look in other directions for their nominees. IMO only 4 of the above truly are deserving: KISS, Kraftwerk, The Cure, and The Spinners.jtricheynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3760137241594753268.post-44514398434944021322012-01-10T16:59:11.372-08:002012-01-10T16:59:11.372-08:00LL Cool J - hurt by his acting career
Randy Newma...LL Cool J - hurt by his acting career<br /><br />Randy Newman - hurt by his Movie scores, but most of his 70's work, and even recent stuff is great<br /><br />Gram Parsons - hurt by only 2 solo records. But those 2 were highly influential works. Add his Byrds + Burritos (maybe they should be nominated) work and and it's a big snub. But I expect he'll get nominated again.<br /><br />I love Doug Sahm, but, well, like you said, Tex-Mex isn't exactly known for its wide appeal among the voters. <br /><br />Love Conway, too, but he's rightly in the Country Hall. His Rock Nom has to be the biggest head-scratcher amongst all these.<br /><br />Lots of those 50's R&B names, are sadly becoming a distant memory to the voting bloc.Tom Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027746050087571629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3760137241594753268.post-23554000632085053112012-01-10T14:28:15.996-08:002012-01-10T14:28:15.996-08:00Like I said, it's pretty fluid.

I tried to give the Eurocentric viewpoint due perspective, and that's a lot of what got Kraftwerk as high up as it is. Like I said, though. +/- 3 spots for the spread. Glad you liked it.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292012228944104037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3760137241594753268.post-33533316492151243012012-01-10T13:45:35.403-08:002012-01-10T13:45:35.403-08:00good list, but I still believe Kraftwerk is number...good list, but I still believe Kraftwerk is number 1 biggest snub ever.GFWhttp://www.google.comnoreply@blogger.com
