I don’t get it? Is he mocking, agreeing or simply pointing? I must admit as soon as I saw Facebook, I didnt read further, the only good things for me on Facebook are animal charities, Westie groups and Shane’s group.

I don't see the point of the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. It probably keeps a few people in a non-job and that seems to be about it.
I've never thought 'I'm not buying that band's album because they're not in the Hall Of Fame.'
Can't read the link because it's all facebooky - and it's in German.

Sorry about that, link opens fine in English my end. The point I was trying to point out is that there are a lot of artists not listed and a lot who should not be there.
Where the hell the Fecesbook comes into it I have not the foggiest. Nothing my end.

Just get Facebook my end. No list of artists who have not made the Hall of Fame. Maybe you could list the ones you are referring to Lemos.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is an institution co-founded by Rolling Stone magnate Jann Wenner and created as an outlet for voters to honor the most worthy musicians in the history of the music, from rock’s 1950s birth to its ever expanding evolution into tomorrow. Yeah. Right. What the Rock Hall is, of course, is a snooty self-love pit wherein Wenner and his mainstream “tastemaker” pals converge to ostensibly hand out awards to acts and artists that adhere to their rigid definition of what’s “acceptable,” while actually just congratulating themselves and insulting fans and musicians alike.
Heavy metal, punk, hardcore, and other “threatening” elements are relentlessly snubbed by the Rock Hall. Pop, disco, and hip-hop acts are relentlessly embraced and rewarded.
Bearing that in mind, when it comes to Political Correctness, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame may not have invented that particular cultural poison, but “p.c.” absolutely defines who they are, what they do and—most infuriatingly—who’ll they’ll invite to their ludicrous annual circle squirt. Only after decades of pressure did the Rock HAll relent and admit Kiss and Rush, the two bands most beloved by millions of fans worldwide that were equally despised by the elitist big city journalists who make the decisions. What follows here is a list of other artists who are in the same situation as Rush and Kiss were. Alas, no matter how big a stink the fans make, the hoity-toity HIOF establishment will never, ever let get past these “violators” past their guards and up onto the pedestals where they should be righteously hailed and revered.
Grand Funk Railroad
Why They’ll Never Be: Grand Funk proved to be one of the earliest acts to unite snooty, snobby rock critics who bemoaned the “dumbing down” of rock. Such hacks aimed to wrest the genre away from blue-collar Midwest fans in order to promote their more “highbrow” NY/LA/London favorites. Such chicanery plagued metal for decades, and it continues to keep popular—and populist—hard rock acts out of the Hall of Fame. STONE TEMPLE PILOT's Why They’ll Never Be: STP initially got tagged as a rip-off of the critically revered Pearl Jam. They’ve since been blamed for all the “post-grunge” acts we’re always instructed to hate, such as Bush, Staind, Creed, and every unfunny Internet hack’s go-to punchline, Nickelback. In addition, it’s not entirely unreasonable that the Hall might be skittish about having unpredictable ex-STP frontman Scott Weiland at their big, fancy shindig. STYX Why They’ll Never Be: “Mr. Roboto” is used as a joke to discredit this band’s stupendous, wide-ranging body of work. Even so, do you ever turn off “Mr. Roboto”? Do you ever not get excited and have fun singing along? True rock fans can happily admit that. The gargoyles in charge of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would never risk looking “uncool.”
MEAT LOAF Why He’ll Never Be: Again, Meat Loaf in general, and Bat in particular, are simply too popular. Meat sings of the same stuff that Bruce Springsteen does on Born to Run—cars, girls, open roads, small town desperation, and brink-of-adulthood kamikaze runs—but Bruce not only plays by the Hall’s rules, the flops who run the joint actually wish they were the Boss. Nobody there wishes he or she was Meat Loaf.
On top of that, lump in Loaf’s longstanding Ted Nugent affiliation and his occasional campaigning for Republican candidates and no “proper thinking” HOF ballot counter would ever let his name slip into the roster. SLAYER Why They’ll Never Be: Slayer is too raw, too intimidating, too intense, and, overall, just too “evil” for the type of sops who made sure Madonna, Public Enemy, and Patti Smith go into the Hall before Black Sabbath, Kiss, and Deep Purple (and we’re still waiting on that last one). TED NUGENT Why He’ll Never Be: Again: because he’s The Nuge Man, man! THE NUGE! No one human being—let alone performer—more explosively sums up everything that the dribbling ninnies who run the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame fear, despise, and work to obliterate than Theodore Anthony Nugent.
As Ted himself put it: “I am unable to back off critical issues and play brain-dead politically correct games so that fools can continue their embarrassing denial of historical and current truth and evidence. Real music lovers increase their love for my music as my absolutism and ballsiness increases!” That is for sure. What I could copy and paste from the article.

Pretty much nails it.
Used to buy a fair few music mags but they started annoying me so I stopped. NME was always annoying but it was useful guide - just buy what they hated and wouldn't go far wrong.
'Q' was good in the early days and then it just seemed to become obsessed with Springsteen, U2 and worst of all REM.
Rolling Stone - too American and too expensive.
'Select' wasn't too bad so ofc it went all cheapo then folded.
'Mojo' was right up itself. I sort of felt that I needed to be sipping a latte and be wearing sunglasses on top of my head to be reading it. Couldn't cope with that.
Music journalism is just one step up from prostitution. Or hanging around the shops mugging old ladies.

Rolling Stone - too American and too expensive. 'Select' wasn't too bad so ofc it went all cheapo then folded. Rolling Stone was great when it had long articles from Hunter S Thompson. Here he is on Jesus Freaks: "There is a firestorm of lunacy brewing on the neo-religious front. We will almost certainly be inundated, even swamped, by a nightmare-blizzard of schlock, gibberish, swill & pseudo-religious bullshit of every type and description. We can expect no relief. This problem will manifest itself in many treacherous forms--and we will have to deal with them all. This is not the time for a mass reversion to ancestral bullshit.The Jesus Freak outburst is a gigantic Spanish Inquisition, the Salem Witch Trials, the Rape of the Congo and the Conquest of the Incas, the Mayans and the Aztecs. Entire civilizations have been done in by vengeful monsters claiming a special relationship with 'God'. It's a revival of the same old primitive bullshit that caused all our troubles from the start. These waterheads must be kept out at all costs. We have serious business to deal with, and these fuckers will only be in the way." Ditto Creem and Lester Bangs. UK music mags I never bothered with much, unless there was a free CD on the cover that looked interesting. I bought Select for a while. It had my favourite-ever quote from a musician; Sean Ryder: " So I said to our kid, just because you've got hair round your lips doesn't mean you have to talk like a twat'".

Styx will never be in the Hall of Fame because they wear stripy keks.
