Title: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame doesn't know shit.

http://www.definitive200.com/200_list.php


These people are so fucking stupid. I just can't fucking believe this list. How did Norah fucking Jones(who I do like) beat Aretha Franklin? Why is there only one Rush album on this list, and why is it number 198??? The fucking Grease soundtrack beat Rush. WTF. Do people really need the Grease soundtrack? How did Will Smith beat fucking Rush? This list is all kinda of fucked. Just fucking fucked.

Even if you don't like Rush, you can still agree that they need to be on there more. They are pretty influential. But it's not just the Rush shit that has me all pissed off.

Name me one reason why Will Smith should be on there.

How the fuck did Coldplay fucking beat out the fucking Clash???

Why is Dave Mattews band on there, and how did they fucking beat David Bowie?

Why are there two Green Day albums on there?

Why the fuck is Kenny fucking G on there?

Of all the soundtracks, why is there no Rocky Horror Picture show on there?

No Lou Reed. No Velvet Underground. No Smiths. No Flaming Lips.

This list of  "Definitive" music, this list of albums you must have to complete your collection is sadly lacking.

Emilio, I know that you are an Awesome Dude with tastes in music, but we cannot be friends any more unless you take back that statement.

Emaline, I wouldn't worry so much, its obvious that the was some sort of error in the production of this list, maybe they were extremely drunk or something, because Revolver is not number one, and actually below the White album.

Just out of interest, dude who seems to really like David Bowie but who's name I didn't actually read, have you noticed that no-one else has images in their signatures? If you have, have you thought at any point that it's a little odd that no-one has them and maybe that made you feel a little uncomfortable?

I'm not trying to be rude, but trying to get in a question that's bothered me every time I see someone new with an image in their signature. We tend not to appreciate them here as they clutter up the otherwise usually neat boards.

In all seriousness, Rush has been ruined for me.  My old roommate (who sucked beyond belief) was absolutely in love with Rush.  It was his favorite band ever and he would play it all the time.  I can't even tell you if they are talented are not, every time I hear them I'm filled with such intense contempt that I can only view them as one of my least favorite bands.

Double Nickels On The Dime should be on there too, but it's not.  I guess that's just the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for you.  Do you also get mad at Rolling Stone, Emaline?

Man that list sucked.

Back on topic it ranks the Black Album 14th then Master of Puppets 75th? WTF?

It is possible that this list is ranked on album sales...I know the top three are amongst the highest selling albums of all time. In saying that I thought Thriller was number 1 so idk.

See, you are upset that other people think differently from you, it's ok that you think different, ion fact, it's great! Specially when you think differently from something as absurd as the rock and roll hall of fame. as others have pointed out, the fact that this list will be shit is aboutas surprising as the sky being blue or a bear shitting in the woods. I'd suggest you rethink your life if you are upset by how they arranged a list of music albums. You could also just look at the list and have a giggle, I looked at the top ten and there is really only one album there i'd consider top ten, and only other one i'd put on a top 50, it's pointless for me to get upset when i obviously have a completely different thinking than them.

Now, (responses in red)

Even if you don't like Rush, you can still agree that they need to be on there more. They are pretty influential. But it's not just the Rush shit that has me all pissed off.
I think Rush is a fantastically boring band with one of the blandest outputs i've ever listened to. I would not only not agree on them being more represented, but i would be perfectly content with them not existing at all.

Name me one reason why Will Smith should be on there.
I don't think will smith should be there, although the theme from the fresh prince is infinitely better than anything Rush or Metallica or Santana or Pearl Jam or U2 or AC/DC  or The Grateful Dead (who are all top 20 there) have ever done.

How the fuck did Coldplay fucking beat out the fucking Clash???
Coldplay is probably more appealing to the sort of people who would read this list

Why is Dave Mattews band on there, and how did they fucking beat David Bowie?
see above

Why are there two Green Day albums on there?
They must be very popular with the people who care about these things

Why the fuck is Kenny fucking G on there?
see above

Of all the soundtracks, why is there no Rocky Horror Picture show on there?
I don't think that soundtrack is very good, it is funny in a ktischy way, but i would not say it is essential in any way. I'd instead protest the absence of Paris, Texas' soundtrack by Ry Cooder, and so many other fantastic western soundtracks

No Lou Reed. No Velvet Underground. No Smiths. No Flaming Lips.
The R&R Hall Of Fame's target audience doesn't care about these bands.


This list of  "Definitive" music, this list of albums you must have to complete your collection is sadly lacking.

Emilio, the blinding red hurts my face, so I didn't even attempt to read much past the first response. I should probably point out that I was pretty drunk when I posted this thread(as evidenced by the IT'S FRIDAY thread), so the cussing is due in part to that. I'm not so upset that I am going to storm the building, or even write an angry letter, just annoyed enough to bitch. I don't think I need to rethink anything. I just think you need to rethink listening to Rush.

Emaline, I spent an entire trip in California switching between the two-disc Rush greatest hits comp and the Police's two-disc collection of the same. I can firmly say that I gave Rush multiple listens and still did not like it.

Rush are pretty much awful.  The Rush Defense (Defence?  Is that a British spelling?), I believe, is when people defend a band's artistic merit by pointing out how technically skilled the musicians are.

Might as well be called the Steve Vai defense (that's real American spelling, right there) because, aside from maybe his work with Zappa, Vai hasn't made anything really worth listening to. Which is a shame, because the motherfucker knows how to play a guitar.

I'm not gonna bother with the rankings of most of the bands up there because, as stated before, most people on these boards are NOT their target audience.  There is one glaring error though... Kenny G?  Kenny G does not rock, nor roll, nor swing, nor groove.  Just thinking about him makes me gag a little bit.  Oh god, the hair.

their self-titled was really good and would probably have taken first place for including the best song they have ever written except it had a lot of pretty unremarkable stuff too. it probably would have worked better had they trimmed it down and made it one disc (record?) instead of two.

Actually why don't we call this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame list "The Complete Dixie Chicks Discography and a Bunch of Other Music?"

Also, why has no one mentioned "Hard Day's Night?"

The only major thing about Hard Day's Night is that the film of the same name showed The Byrds how to become "rock stars".

(Edit: Don't take that as a negative thing, I like the album, but it is not the best. I don't consider it in the Top 5 Beatles albums, either.)

The one thing I don't understand about this list is the complete lack of Chuck Berry. If something is supposed to be "The Definitive 200" why is there nothing by the founder of the goddamn genre?

To quote Wayne Campbell:

"Led Zep didn't write tunes that everyone liked; they left that to the Beachies."

So at the very best the Beachies are proto-pop. Which still isn't good.

Dude, I'm pretty certain pop music existed before 1961.

I find a lot of people agree. Everything before Rubber Soul (Or Help! if you want to be generous) wasn't that great. It wasn't that bad either, but not as shit hot as their later stuff.

So I hear...
Beatles before drugs = generic rock/pop of the day
Beatles after drugs = phenominal and legendary

I think there's a lot to be said for a band that can make a good, straightforeward pop record.
I'd not repeat any of those things in front of my mother or anything though...
