Bon Jovi and Beastie Boys Make List for Rock Hall of Fame

without question.


the sounds of science is pretty money as well...

Paul's Boutique - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul's_Boutique)

I like the quote by Chuck D of Public Enemy half way down..."it was known to have the best beats at the time of release in the hip-hop community." Thats saying alot, Dust Brothers did an incredible job. The album too just has that urban feel to it...retro, dirty funk... very NYC or Los Angeles feel

Considering where they started with Licensed to Ill, it makes Paul's Boutique that much more amazing.

Oh jeez.... the R&R HOF is a freakin joke.
The Beastie Boys????
LMAO!
These poeple refuse to induct Rush but they let in the Beatie Boys.
What a POS organization.

NO LOVE for Jon and the boys???
Who the Hell does not love Dead or alive???

yeah agreed. When Licensed to Ill came out I wanted it so bad, but my parents had that on the "do not and will not buy list." I was 9 at the time.

Little fact about Licensed, first rap album to go number 1 on Billboard.

Yeah Rush deserves it...Beasties though better, much more influential

Im pissed about Tom Waits, That dude needs to be in

Rush should be in no question, but it doesn't diminish what the Beasties have done.

Whaaaat?
The BB's are infants compared to what Rush has done.

I think Rush are a truely underappreciated band and their influence is undeniable. Progressive rock in general is usually underappreciated in general. Even broader, Musicianship in rock music these days is too often overlooked. Talent wise, Rush is on the upper echelon...but they really didnt breakthru or have the influence Beastie did. They didnt shift the music culture like the Beastie did. Beasties, first rap album to hit the number 1 on the Billboard. They are pivitol in bringing hip-hop culture to mainstream America, out of the city to the suburbs and even rural states. First major white rappers. Also extremely creative, Pauls Boutique, Check your Head, Ill Communication...that stuff had never been done b4. They are originators. Rush were part of a movement.

So why as Rush been snubbed this long anyway? Definitely doesn't seem right. While I'm not a big fan you can't deny they are insane musicians and have an impressive catalog along with a very loyal following.
