the guess who were incredible.....
the guess who vs the rock and roll hall of fame
well earlier i posted about the moody blues and got many opinions. most were for inclusion. how about the guess who? my opinion is great songwriting and musicianship/singing. many top 10 songs and most of their classic songs are still fun to listen to. if you had a chance to see the guess who or alice cooper what would the choice be? i vote in. thanks

A friend of mine emailed exultantly the other day with a news item about how Phil Collins is officially packing it in due to ill health sustained on account of his drumming. My buddy's exact phrase was, "Words cannot describe my hatred for Phil Collins. I hope he dies a slow and painful death". Me, I just can't get that worked up over the guy. (This also gives you some idea about the intellectual maturity of my friends. The man is an architect pushing 50, for crying out loud, but refuses to let go of, or even let mellow, his punk self-identification.) However, Geddy Lee did immediately spring to mind when I thought of what performer I could say that about. Needless to say, neither of them graces my collection or is in my personal HOF. And all my Guess Who is pre-RCA. TEHO... |
Being Canadian and knowing what the Guess Who means to us they should have been considered even before RUSH. Also knowing that Jan Wenner is a republican who hates everything that Canada stands for will not tolerate putting in a band whose best song (American Woman) takes shots at the American way of life. The woman in the song is in my mind the statue of liberty used as a metaphor for all that was and still is wrong with American. So what I am saying Guess Who fans, don't hold your breath, yes they should have been inducted decades ago. |
BTO needs to go in before Guess Who. BTO were incredible. Randy was a great guitarist and songwriter. Turner’s bass lines and vocals carried so much gravitas there simply hasn’t been anything as heavy since. https://youtu.be/uW3nQqZLiwc Rush are now in (2013) since this thread began. |
I have as big a problem with some of those who are in rather than those who are not in, especially artists who had one or two hits and whose music is a far cry from rock and roll.That said, I like the Guess Who and feel that as a multi-hit band they should be strongly considered. Are the Buckinghams in? The Hollies? The Association? |
