No, let's really take it to the stage BT Express vs. Kool and The Gang.LOL.
-
And then you would have somebody commenting on how boring YOUR post is.LOL. It's like either way you can't win, so I say go ahead man and do your thing. I support your endeavors all the way.
-
Well, to be honest with you I'm not even looking to make 10,000 posts on this board. I am glad however, that I was able to invite discussion.
-
114 I stand corrected.
-
Yet it has 987 hits 117 comments. Go figure

The people who view Billie Holiday as a Rock n Roll artist could be the Janis Joplin fans. Over the years I've noticed that if you've inspired a rock heavyweight, you're considered almost a rock figure in your own right (no matter what type of music…
-
Willie, what I wrote was reply to your little "Litmus test" comment trying to clown me on the board. That is why you got the response that you got. My intention was to have a cool open discussion regarding music. That's when you and "OST" started ta…

That depends on if I was a fan.
-
Oh and by the way......Hooray I made comment #103.
-
Yes, but I also look who came on the scene first.
-
I don't think the Rock Hall of fame is the only one. I've got a few bones to pick with the way they handle these VH-1 Hip-Hop honors as well. It's screwed up all across the board. For example, how do you induct Missy Elliot before a group like lets …
-
I know, I was just making a clarification to holmes that it wasn't purely about stage presence that makes a band good enough for hall of fame induction (Especially in the Dave Clark 5's case).
-
You're right you can't compare them however that's what my mind is accustomed to seeing (energetic performances). Even down to some of the some hip-hop performers like Busta, Tribe, Black Sheep,etc. Make no mistake though, just because your live pe…
-
But you know who I was referring to nonetheless (typographical error nonewithstanding).
-
Look for the Morgan Freeman avatar on your left.....that's Luscious Fox.
-
I wasn't clowning the Dave Clark 5, I just felt they had no stage presence whenever they would perform live. Their performances came off uninspired to me as opposed to a Sam & Dave performance, a James Brown performance, or even Sly Stone in his…
-
Well, it is a debatable topic I will say that. I guess it all just comes down to whether if the induction committee board feels the same way or not. I personally feel they're just as important (if not more)considering their impact on pop music,jazz,…
-
Only if it's Deion Sanders.LOL.
-
Well, you're right it's not all about the hits, it's also about the number of years that have passed since you or your group came on the scene(i think 25 is the minimum you've got to have on you to be considered for eligibility) along with the contr…
-
That's not what I think, that's what it is. The only other art-form that's just as popular (or more popular) is hip-hop and once you do your research, it all traces back to the same lineage.
-
14 "instrumental" hits I might add but that's exactly what they were "hits".
-
Booker T. & the M.G,'s were an instrumental group who made it the hall in '92 with 14 hit singles to their credit. It's possible to be an instrumental group and make it to the hall of fame.
-
Well what she's playing is certainly derivativefrom r&b. so technically speaking......yes.
-
Thank you Leisurebandit, at least somebody here understands.
-
Bare in mind Luscious that Rock and Roll has part of it's roots in early r&b, so for you to ask me if I considered an r&b pop song "rock'n'roll" is a bit of an oxymoron in my opinion (considering that part of rock and roll comes from r&b…
-
I consider it to be a cross-over pop-hit, pop can be categorized under the rock and roll umbrella so yes, I consider it Rock and Roll.
-
Kool and the Gang just happen to have been able to find an opening to financially/commercially stay afloat with their lighter sound and just ran with it. Can't say I blame them, they did what they had to do to stay commercially relevant and in with …
