Sonick yer such a such a spelling cop...
 And you may be right about about the crash, although I'd still put Holly in, but not Richie Valens (I may have spelled that first name wrong...sorry officer, but there are a few ways to spell Richie..)

I'm not sure why I'm bothering to defend J Geils since I really don't like anything they've ever done, but...the reason they are on here is that they really are much more than their Freezeframe & "Centerfold" output. They'd been making bluesy rock records since the early 70's - most received pretty positive critical acclaim. Then they sold their soul to MTV in the early 80's.

But can't we all agree that Centerfold and Freezeframe were oh so much catchier than the earlier stuff?

I heard "Centerfold" out at Fed-Ex field the other week and thought to myself "Self, this music sure beats the shit out of anything I've heard on HFS lately...ahh yes those were the good old days.  The Greasman, Billy Squire and J. Geils band."
 
 I like J Geils...though I'm not familiar with anything he ever did other than the songs you mentioned.  His name just sounded so random on the list of canditates.  Billy Squire....now THERE'S a guy who belongs in the hall!  Stroke me, Stoke me!  Stroke!  Stroke!  Pure genius!

The J. Geils Band was one of the best concerts I've ever seen.  The "Freeze-Frame" era doesn't really represent them well at all.  They're more of an r&b-based rock band - sort of like the stuff The Blues Brothers are known for.
 
 Still, they wouldn't be my first choice of artists to nominate.

well, don sutton only had 1 20 win season and he's in the hall of fame. [/b]

But Sutton has 324 career wins.  There's something to be said of career longevity.

WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT DONT SUTTON.
 
 
 dont we have a baseball thread already?
 
 I'll go get it.

I'm sick of all the sport bullshit on these pages.  Rhett, punk was very important.  True, it's irrelevant now, but whether or not the Pistols were first or not or how many records they put out, etc., shouldn't disqualify them.  And baseball's rules have nothing to do with music, so you can't compare the two.
 
 However, I do agree that Gram Parsons should definitely be in, as well as the Stooges... the rest of the choices are questionable.   I love Patti and like the Pistols, but "Metal Box" was much better than "Bollocks."  The J. Geils Band?  Give me a fucking break!  And I like Grandmaster Flash, but don't know if he deserves the nod...  
 
 So, Gram and Iggy, those are my choices.
 
 And I know a few people who love Randy Newman, so he'll probably make it, as will Skynyrd, even though they annoy the shit out of me.

here are my choices:
 
 grandmaster flash
 sex pistols
 stooges
 U2
 don sutton

 Bo Jackson was better than Don Sutton!

I propose a moratorium on the sports thing. Don't care for them, and this the 9:30 Club not ESPN. Huey Lewis named a record after sports...how much more un-rock'n'roll can you get??
