This blog spot is the home to my ramblings. I am a free lance writer. Most of my work goes on Associated Content. Sometimes I write what is on my mind, sometimes I plug some of my writing, and sometimes a combination of the two. So, sit back read, enjoy, and we will see where it goes.
The 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees includes Pearl Jam, Tupac Shakur, Journey, Yes, Electric Light Orchestra, Joan Baez, and Niles Rodgers will be given an Award fr Musical Excellence.
The selections are always controversial since there are always deserving groups that don't get voted in. I know I can name quite a few and I'm sure you may know a few. If you want to share who you felt got snubbed the comments are always open.
Today the focus is on who was selected! We start off with a band that I saw this year Pearl Jam. My journey to see them made my A to Z post here.
Pearl Jam
Tupac Shakur
The artist has sold over 75 million albums sand Rolling Stone magazine lists him among the top 100 Artist.
Journey
This band has sold over 90 million albums and is a staple on classic rock radio,
Yes
A progressive rock band. Which had some radio success..
Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)
Another classic rock band.
Joan Baez
A folky songwriter.
Niles Rodgers
I became aware of Nile Rodgers through his work with Jeff Beck. I am sure I heard of Chic before then but did not put the name together until later. He has worked with a ton of big name artists from Daft Punk, Diana Ross, David Lee Roth, Duran Duran, Madonna and more.
This captures the magic,,Daft Punk, Pharrell Williams, Daft Punk, Stevie Wonder and Niles..
What do you think of the selections? I will be back soon with a new post.
