I was joking when I was in Cleveland that I should get some people together to march outside the building until VdGG was inducted It'll be like the finale of MDK; the non-proggers will march against my prog march, but as they march they will hear the VdGG we are blasting, and see it's beauty. One by one, they will leave the non-prog ranks and join ours, until the entire city marches on the building. It'll be really cool!

That was the most beautiful scene of brotherly love/Mortal Kombat referencing I've ever seen. ...Screw it, we're marching, I'll get my flute! |
Mortal Kombat? MDK stands for Mekanik Destruktiw Komandoh, not Mortal Kombat!

Oh, I thought it was a rare Mortal Krimson album called "The Heavy KCombat of Light...with a 'D' at the end."

Well, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame feels socially obligated to induct talent as well as diversity into the Hall.
So the past few years a woman and a minorityhave been inducted into the Hall of Fame despite the fact their are more taelnted and influential artists more worthy of being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
For instance, Grandmaster Flash, a african american hip-hop artist, was inducted into the hall for, suppsoedly, spearheading the modern hip-hop movemnent. Although this may be true, Faust, particualrly 71 Minutes of Faust, demonstarted the use syncopated drumming and synth guitars that allowed bands like Radiohead, Ride, Depeche Mode, The Cure, New Order use and further. Clearly, Faust is more influential than Grandmaster Flash.
However, I agree that Carlos Santana, Jimi Hendrix, and The Pretenders deserve to be inducted into the hall fo fame.
Also, its about commercial visibility, thats why the only progressive/prog related bands I believe have a chance of getting into the hall are: ELP, The moody Blues, maybe Procol Harum, Genesis, Yes, Kate Bush, and Asia as much as it chagrins me to say it

Oh I see now, thanks for clearing that up. I was wondering how and why Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and Little Richard got inducted.

I went to the rock hall a few years back (only because i didnt have to pay mind you), and was terribly bored. I didn't care about most of the bands in there so I just stopped caring about it all together since then.
