Right. Heh, I would have expected that kind of comment from Steve Miller. Just great. I have always liked his style, he´s another intellectual in rock business:

His albums "Fly Like an Eagle" and "Book of Dreams" from mid 70´s are brilliant.


Steve Miller has had.. for a LONG time.. a real problem with the 'industry' LOL

The only reason I would care if YES made it in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is I'm sure several of the members of YES would like it.    YES has given me so many great moments over the years so I hope they make it.  


But, as Raff indicated with Purple, it is highly doubtful that all members of Yes, past and present, would be inducted, including important, albeit for only one album, members such as Moraz. Would Rabin get a place, given the current difficulties with Howe and Anderson? Highly doubtful.

Not that Tull will ever get in (and I am certain at this point it will never happen, given the asininity of the proceedings), but just think of the band member mayhem that would create (and not including folks like Toni Iommi, Phil Collins and Tony Williams who were there very briefly). You would have to wade through:

Ian Anderson
Martin Barre (if he even wants to step on stage with Ian again)...

Guitarists
Mick Abrahams
Maartin Allcock
Florian Opahle

Bassists
Glenn Cornick (deceased)
Jeffrey Hammond
John Glascock (deceased)
Dave Pegg (because Fairport will never get in either)
Jonathon Noyce
David Goodier

Drums
Clive Bunker
Barriemore Barlow
Mark Craney
Don Airey
Gerry Conway
Doane Perry

Keyboards
John Evan
Dee Palmer
Eddie Jobson (because Roxy Music will never get in either)
Peter John Vettese
Andrew Giddings
John O'Hara

Certainly, there are eras most Tull fans would prefer. It would be nice to see Barlow and Bunker playing drums on the same stage with Dave Pegg and Martin Barre, but from what I've heard John Evan and Jeffrey Hammond haven't played for decades. Perhaps a "Kiss-and-Make-Up" Final Tour.


How many bands has Eddie Jobson been in anyone care to list them. The list would be so long would fill the alphabet

I can see why someone would care about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but seriously who cares?

No one really.

What's the betting we'll never read another word nor will anyone ever comment.

Yeah, I don't care about the HoF either, but it has been useful in communicating with non-Prog music fans when they have no idea who Steve Hackett is. Then again, how much do non-Prog music fans actually matter?

The most famous group among the candidates is Yes
There's no reason not to chose YES Hall of "FAME". "FAME"
.
Any other vote would be, "my personal taste", not "Fame".
. 
It´s like punk, that almost only existed in the music critics texts about the end of the seventies. 
What made success was disco, glam, prog, metal, queen, stones, carly simon, bowie. 
Beside that, there was "the Clash" , a little of "Ramones" and a lot to critics trying to impose their tastes.  
.
.today, critics don't have that power to impose their tastes, and ... music got worst, much worst (paradoxal)

Grammy has no credibility anymore, Oscar is losing credibility, but the names are strong "oscar" "hall of fame".
Allen Toussaint? Andrew Loog Oldham? Are these people or some brand of matinal cereal?
.
No I won't look at wikipedia, because it´s hall of FAME. is there a "famous" Loog ? wtf

Regarding Miller's comments I'm surprised we haven't heard more of the same from other artists inducted into the Hall. If they treated him that way the odds are good others have been treated poorly also over the years unless this was a fluke.
And The Black Keys who gave his inductee speech never even knew him or met him according to Miller.....wtf ?
What was the Hall thinking? Wouldn't you ask someone to do it that knew him and was a fellow musician from the old days? They said Miller was kind of unfriendly  to them but then no one really introduced them according to Miller before the actual show.
I have no idea who runs the event planning but it sounds like they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

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.
