The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will again offer fans the opportunity to officially participate in the induction selection process. From now until December 10 at 5 p.m. EST, the public can visit www.rockhall.com/vote to cast votes for who they believe to be the most deserving of induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The top five artists, as selected by the public, will constitute a "fans' ballot" that will be tallied along with the other ballots to choose the 2014 inductees.
Out of curiosity, what is it you hate about Nevermind? I've never heard someone say they hate it before, not even my mom who is not exactly a fan of the grunge.
My hatred for Nevermind out-weighs my love for those, if that makes sense.
So a regional act on Sub-Pop (with an album out that you like) makes a multi-platinum album that changes the face of popular music. The band is unhappy with that album, despite its success, so hires Albini to make the weirdest album of their career at the height of their popularity (which again is an album you like), and yet you dislike this band?
It wasn't a cohesive album, in my opinion. More like a few songs that were thrown together and got lucky on a song that would go on to become an anthem for a generation. Plus, I fucking hate Butch Vig.
I'll revisit that now. It's been 20 years since I last took that for a spin.

So because 20-years-younger GL didn't like it sage-and-experienced GL won't? I think you're being far too hard on the record, it passes the god damn 'mom test,' and for music that isn't James Taylor whispering sweet nothings, that's nearly impossible.

Also, happy birthday
20 years ago I though Nation Of Ulysses was the end-all be-all to music. A lot has happened since then.
By no means does that represent my favorites (I hate KISS), but in my eyes, this is about who had the greatest impact. So that's it.
I'd argue that NWA had as much of an impact on American culture as any of those other acts. It brought gangsta rap into America's living room, which in many ways middle America was not ready for.
All I care about getting in are The Meters. Not that I don't like some of the other artists, but its strangely important for me that The Meters get as much recognition as possible.
Based on the criteria of the Hall - an artist's musical influence on other artists, length and depth of career and the body of work, innovation and superiority in style and technique, but musical excellence shall be the essential qualification of induction - there is only one correct way to vote for a top five:
KISS Nirvana N.W.A. The Replacements Link Wray
These five are not my favorite five on the list, but acts like LL Cool J, Hall and Oates, and Linda Ronstadt had excellence in their genres, but nothing that innovated or evolved what others were doing at the time. They were just doing it better than most at the time. KISS is the weak link in the top five because I don't know if I'd say that they were "superior" in style and technique, but their influence on music and performance changed the course of heavy metal and brought metal to the mainstream. To me that is Hall-worthy.
The fact that Link Wray isn't already in the Hall is a tragedy. Mofo invented the freaking power chord.
Nirvana, Kiss, Peter Gabriel, Hall & Oates, Cat Stevens and Linda Rondstadt.
Will the concert that is usually shown on HBO be in NYC again or do they return the show to Cleveland? Should be an entertaining show. I'm not a big fan of Nirvana or Kiss but certainly I guess their resume is deserving enough.
I haven't the faintest. Not sure if they have announced any details for the concert yet.
