I think we can all agree that the current Rock and Roll Hall of Fame lacks any credibility - all politics and bias.
So, if Andrew started a Melodic Rock Hall of Fame, who do you think is worthy of induction?

My list includes:

Elvis, Roy Orbison, Bryan Adams, Bruce Springsteen, Journey, Pat Benatar, Bon Jovi (I'll forget the country album)

Hmm, this one is going to take lots of thought, taking into account success, influence, innovation, technique...

Off the top of my head; Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley (before he abandoned rock for smooth), Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepplin, Masters Apprentices, Thin Lizzy, AC-DC.

I need to go peruse the music collection, do a little mental comparison, think a little, and get back to you.

But great topic for discussion!

Elvis & Journey Sam Cook

Think there are some old threads on this very subject if you look back. An idea that I had some time ago.... MRHOF. Much better

Cool Beans!!!! Can we have our own Andrew????

That does sound good Andrew............if nothing else they can see what the regular folks think, instead of a bunch of wanna be musicians that couldn't make it so they became critics. I hate critics................

Alls I know is that my two favorite acts Alice Cooper and Journey are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which is a travesty, and they ought to be in the first wave of inductees of any alternative. H.O.F.

I think we should have a MR Forum Poster HOF. The first entry to this HOF is clearly Rockin' Deano.

KISS FIRST and FOREMOST. then JOURNEY STYX REO KANSAS MR BIG.. hehe
RICK SPRINGFIELD TELSA WARRANT and many others... FROM CLASIC ROCK WHO HAVE BEEN screwed to the hair bands of the 80s perfect. I love the idea.

L-ya Rick. Just had to adjust your post a little bit. Actually I like Tesla too.

Elvis, Roy Orbison, and Bruce Springsteen probably don't belong in the "melodic rock" category. Great artists, obviously, but not melodic rock.

That's what I thought this thread would be about before I clicked on it.
Jesus, I'm thinking like Tito now? Can anyone refer me to a good shock therapist please?

I dunno Deb, I guess I haven't heard that song. I listened to it and it made me wanna shoot my eyes out and cut off my ears.

I prefer Albert Hammond "it never rains in california"

Oh, well... At least, it took 9 posts.

Kiss, first and foremost??? Obviously, you don't know much about Andrew and the term "melodic rock", in general. Certainly, Journey would be on his list and Springfield (of course ), but I think you'd be surprised to see a huge list of bands that many in the US have never even heard of on there as well.

I'd be interested in seeing who you would put on the HOF, Andrew. But get that 2008 MR Awards online first. Are we going to be hailing our own KPOTY again?
