RHCP Nominated For HOF

2009-09-27 by Observer EMERITUS | 67 Comments
The Hot Chili Peppers and a few other bands have been nominated to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame on their first year of eligibility. Bands are only eligible for nomination after their first album or single is released.

"It's a real honor to be nominated in our first year of eligibility" said Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith to Billboard.

"Obviously the Hall of Fame has excellent musical taste."

The final decision on inductees is expected to be made in January, while the Hall of Fame itself is set to celebrate a special anniversary. Turning 25 years old in 2009, the organisation is due to hail this milestone with a series of special shows.
The concerts are set to take place at October 29th and 30th at New York's Madison Square Garden with performances expected from the likes of U2, Metallica, Stevie Wonder and Simon & Garfunkel.


The full list of nominees is as follows:

ABBA
The Chantels
Jimmy Cliff
Genesis
The Hollies
Kiss
LL Cool J
Darlene Love
Laura Nyro
Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Stooges
Donna Summer

Band has been completely boring teen girl pop rock since anything after BSSM and they weren't that good then either. Not to mention, their extremely large egos don't help them. Anthony Keidis is a douche.

Kiss was never really that good. They were just marketing whores with a cool stage show. I don't think their music was good enough to be put into the hall of fame.

hey, I just figured The Flaming Lips and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds also had their first recordings released in 1984, so WHAT THE HELL?

Great band but they defintely shouldn't get in for a while. And guys, come on, we all know the mainstream musical community sometimes overlooks great bands (like The Flaming Lips and Nick Cave), leaving those bands off the nominations shouldn't be a huge surprise.

Though where the hell are Rush?
I don't get why this place is still called the "Rock N' Roll" Hall of Fame though.

The Stooges
ABBA
Donna Summer

The R&R HOF should be called the Music HOF since a large percent of the bands/singers aren't rock.

LOL I wasn't trying to say The Stooges weren't work just that people are bitching so much about what is and isn't rock that they should replace the R&R with Music to shut them up.

Or maybe the R&R staying is a form of rebellion. . .

They sound look good guys, I'll give them that. But they're horrible as musicians and even they even KNOW they suck. If it wasn't them all painted up making cheap songs, it would've been the next four guys.
