It won't happen again. :fineprint:
Blue Oyster Cult. The Replacements. Two of my favorite bands.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Blue Oyster Cult eventually inducted, as the credentials are certainly there.Quote:

Both were critically acclaimed bands with quality material, but for some reason the public--even AOR fans of the era--never seemed to fully embrace them even though both were not exactly flops on AOR radio, either.
I was actually going to feature a track by The Replacements in a future Lost Tracks segment, but, what the heck? Here's a bonus.
The Replacements--I'll Be You (1989)
This track climbed to the top of Billboards Top Rock tracks in the Spring of '89.
Why was this wasn't a correspondingly smash Pop hit, I'll never understand. This band's entire catalog is well worth checking out.
The Replacements - I'll Be You - YouTube
Favorite Replacements song is Johnny's Gonna Die.
The Replacements- Johnny's gonna die - YouTube
After the band's breakup Tommy Stinson fronted a group called Bash and Pop. Here's a sample.
Bash & Pop - Friday Night (Is Killing Me) - YouTube
I'd throw Golden Earring into the mix. Love that group.Quote:

T. Rex
Marc Bolan & Company were instrumental in the development of glam rock in the 1970s. Bowie got his Rock Hall due. Give T. Rex its props, too.

The Replacements
Post-punk poets from Minneapolis blazed the trail for every alternative-rock band to come along since. Gets my vote on the strength of "Here Comes a Regular" alone.
OTOH, it's difficult to take any article seriously that suggests that Joan Jett And The Blackhearts are even remotely close to RRHOF material.
Wait for Me, the live version, is one of my favorites.Quote:
