Finally! Justice At Last!

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has decided to induct Rush into the Hall. About bloody time, too. Not quite getting the Donna Summer thing, but whatever.

Rush, Heart, Public Enemy, Donna Summer, Randy Newman, Albert King get nod as 2013 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees | cleveland.com

Subdivisions, freewill, tom saywer, 2112, the tree's, and working man., They should have been in for years and niel pert by himself as one of the greatest songwriters/drummers ever.

I think since the were not the classical rock group with just three members, from canada no less. Much deeper lyrics than most bands would dream of writing. A sound of there own and albums made to listen to as an album not a bunch of filler to a single song.

I know my youngest daughter loves the trees. I played it for her when she was 5 as we walked the woods.

My first thought, when they were first added to the ballot, was they should just snub the HOF, but the guys are too classy for that. I'm happy for them!

Here's a few pics I took of them last year.

Ahh Heart, Public Enemy, DONNA SUMMER (ARE YOU KIDDING ME), much less Randy Newman. And RUSH gets included? This sounds more a sweep of the mop bucket picking up folk from the era who will donate $$$.

Front row Tommy?
RUSH was and still is one of my favorites ever!
They were my first real concert, at Indiana University in 1976 or 77!
$5, general admission..... Those were the days!

Yes! Second time we've had front row to see RUSH! My wife and I like to drive around and catch a few shows of each tour, we've seen them on their last 4. I didn't get to catch the first half of the current tour, but they're coming back around in early 2013.

Alex Lifeson loves to goof around and make faces at people in the crowd, it's a great time!

FINALLY!!! I'm glad to see the HOF people in Cleveland finally pulled their heads out of their asses and nominated a ROCK band for the ROCK & Roll HOF. Now, why it took them all this time to finally decide Rush is deserving of this honor has yet to be explained...

 

[Constructionist]

They definitely deserve induction. Geddy Lee and Steve Harris were the two four-string bad a$$es that got me into playing bass.

 

[Dead Duck]

COOL - That is Great News. RUSH RULES!!


I've been to a few Mega Shows decades ago with RUSH on the ticket. I was told I had an awesome time so I'm sure that I did.

I'm still looking for my left shoe and my right sock from one of those shows.

 

[level.eleven]

Donna Summer. Yes.
SRV. No.

Please explain the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to me.

 

[Mackey]

My all time favorite band. Lee was one of the first in rock who really made the bass talk instead of just being background. Peart was just a joy to watch in concert. I'll never forget it - saw them on the Subdivisions and Presto tours... then life happened.

In Celebration:

Good for them. I always liked them and saw them in concert back in 83, 84. To watch and listen to Neil Peart do his drum solo is just freaking amazing. These guys should have been in the Hall years ago.

 

[churchmouse]

3 amazing musicians who deserve far more recognition than they receive. The Fly by night album was a real experience for us as we were playing ourselves and just getting past the 1st album. Pert is without equal in the industry to this day.

 

[remauto1187]

Heart should have been in there atleast 10yrs ago...just from their songs of the 70's!

Barracuda, Mistral wind, Crazy on you, Magic Man, Straight on.....and much more.

Are ya kiddin me? YEARS AGO they should have been there!

Nancy Wilson is gorgeous still. Chicks with guitars that can rock are like hot chicks with guns!
