Location: Flahdaw | I'll pulled up the list of inductees since the beginning of the HOF....I can't find more than a few that I disagree with. Are there lots that could or should be added? Yeah. |

Yep, I'm with you. I don't begrudge any inductee as it's NOT about music, it's about influence on music in some way. BIG difference. But, with that said, I also agree the list of who isn't nominated has many more rather obvious influences on it than those inducted.
A lot of people still say "Rush ??"... Well, when you've had more consecutive gold or platinum studio albums then every rock band except the Beatles and Stones, it's a safe bet you've influenced a few people. I guess they same can be said for Donna Summer as the Disco Queen although I wish she didn't... but there's no denying she influenced a few people.
It just seems there are more people on the not-nominated list, that influenced more people, for a longer time. |

Wow! You told me you had a couple of great female singers, but I didn't think you meant THAT good! I don't think I've ever heard a band that covered Heart well. |

We agree on that... but... no arguing with a worldwide cult-like following and occasional bouts at #1 album sales 10, 20 years after their last album was recorded. Not to mention Mama Mia musical and movie.
So, as we said... no begrudging them... just wonder why others who have done more aren't even in the running. |

There is a local Littleton cover band.......Dreamboat Annie.........and the singer has the chops to pull it off (she is still no Ann Wilson but who is). She is a very credible vocalist....rest of the band is ok but she is the star!

We're not that good, and never will be. We just like playing their music. The song we've added is Alone. |

Yep, and our keyboardist has the piano part nailed, too. The music is relatively easy. Its those gorgoeous HOF voices that we have to work on. We don't try to imitate, but rather, just give it our own interpretation as best we can. |

Location: Denver, CO | I like it better, anyway, when a band just nails the "feel" of a cover, rather than try to reproduce the original. Looking forward to hearing you sometime. |
