Yay, White Stripes and Outkast! I don't have any objections about anybody on the list except maybe the Black Crowes. As someone from the Atl area I feel like a bit of a traitor for saying that. I really do like some of their music, but RnR HoF? I dunno.

Rolling Stone · Rock Hall of Fame: Mariah Carey, Phish, Oasis, Outkast, Billy Idol, Joy Division Lead NomineesBy Andy Greene

#Music #RockAndRoll

I turned in late to the 2024 #RockAndRollHallOfFame (R&RHOF) awards show yesterday but watched most of it recorded on my #DVR.

Really enjoyed the sets of #KoolAndtheGang & #DionneWarwick, #Foreigner, #Frampton & #OzzieOzborne.

I know he has a large fan base & I like some of his songs but I didn't think #Buffet deserved the award.

I've never been a #DaveMatthews fan -- even less so after I heard him & his band play -- & I question why they got the award too. 🤷‍♂️

Liked how #Dionne said it was the 3rd time she was nominated & was about to tell them to "take their award & shove it" but was happy that they finally got it "right." For real . . . 👏

Listening to Dionne on CD now. 🤗

Seems like the R&RHOF pretty much admits anybody & everybody who ever had a hit record into the hall -- except Dionne until now.

WTF??? 🤔

Anyway, I've been to Cooperstown but never to the R&RHOF in Cleveland and, given where it's located, I doubt I ever will . . .

but the music will always live on. 🙂

"Hound Dog" is a #twelvebarBlues song written by #JerryLeiberAndMikeStoller. Recorded originally by #BigMamaThornton on August 13, 1952, in Los Angeles and released by #PeacockRecords in late February 1953, "Hound Dog" was Thornton's only hit record, selling over 500,000 copies, spending 14 weeks in the #RAndBCharts, including seven weeks at number one. Thornton's recording of "Hound Dog" is listed as one of the #RockAndRollHallOfFame's "500 Songs That Shaped Rock.
