The RRHF now has a touch of class with Yes in it.

The HoF should be the Popular Music Hall Of... how is this fame measured anyway? Hits? How did Led Zeppelin get in? Concert attendance? Why so long for Yes?
What is progressive rock? What is classic rock? We'll never know. |

Rick already stated that he wasn't going to be a part of any sort of reunion because of the Hall of Fame thing. We'll see if he sticks to it. http://www.rwcc.com/gorr.asp |

Labels are ultimately a bit arbitrary anyway. What one person thinks is one thing someone else will call it something different. Steven Wilson was never much of a fan of the term prog rock to begin with so that really doesn't surprise me. As for Metallica I'm not sure what they think of the term rock vs metal. I'm sure they are ok with metal. It doesn't make a difference but these days they would not lose to Jethro Tull if we had a separate category for just metal and not hard rock/metal.

I should have stressed THINK is Rock Artists......They truly believe all the R&B artists they have inducted are Rock at the core. I am not sure they dislike Prog, I think they don't understand what it is honestly. Remember, prog is our (fans) terminology, that was my point in what SW says. If you watch some of those old concerts of Yes, Genesis, ELP...the fans back then called it "pop", never "prog" and rarely "rock". I can only imagine how Metallica fans felt about their band being called Rock and not Metal or Thrash....... The RnRHoF voters will never induct a band because they were in a prog category......I think we are all on the same page. |

hah.. more happy for ELO to be honest... that is a group that should have been inducted many many years ago itself. At least Yes had the prog fundies going to bat for it.. who was bitching about ELO's omission... then again.. I wasn't either. Who really cares... other than get warm fuzzy feelings in the nether regions of our inner sentimnetal effeminate sides

Obviously the hall means nothing, but good to see them there if for nothing else than a warm fuzzy feeling in my insides.

I'd say as far as prog goes it's a popularity contest. That's why the most popular prog bands get in. It seems to be in order of popularity too: Pink Floyd then Genesis then Rush then Yes. After Yes the next most popular prog band is probably Jethro Tull or the Moody Blues then ELP. I agree ELP should still get in though.
It is good news that Yes got in this time around. Maybe they will finally get on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine now too.

[The voters will always vote in what they think is Rock artists]
No, that's not it. Look at all the r&b, jazz, pop and rap artists in there. Are they all more rock than Yes? No, it all comes down to bias imo. The R&RHOF elite don't like prog. It's really not more complex than that imo. It's not about popularity either because at one point Yes were quite popular.

The voters will always vote in what they think is Rock artists, at least this year other than Tupak, they pretty much voted in only Rock Artists.
At the 60,000 foot level, it's all Rock Music, it's when you get to ground level that the sub-genres come into play and everyone gets their panties in a wad. I have seen Steven Wilson twice in concert, both times he simply says "we are just a rock n roll band....." He never says.."we are just a heavy prog, ambient, alternative, art rock band......"

I'm glad to see Yes got in. I've been a fan for a long time. If it wasn't for Yes I probably would not be into this genre of music and would only know classic rock and not know the difference.
Yes should have been inducted a long time ago. Pink Floyd has been in there for over 20 years. It makes no sense to me that they took so long to put Yes in. I still think the institution is a crock though and will never visit it.

Likewise i couldn't care less about political capitalist institutions that use music as a means to devour large quantities of money. When someone makes a true thoroughly done music history museum that includes every aspect of recorded music, popular and not, then i'd be interested :) Looks like PA and other sites are the closest thing to that

Just read about this in the local newspaper. It is a step in the right direction for the hall. They also voted in ELO, so another not to a proggish type band.

I will probably watch the ceremony, if only to see how awkward it is when ARW get together on stage with Howe and White...but who will play the bass? Two guitarists, two keyboard players, no bass?
They could at least have included Sherwood.
