Great production. Seems like the Hall went back to their roots. Frampton, Ozzie Osbourne, Dave Matthews, Journey, Jimmy Buffet, Cher, Kool and the Gang off the top of my head. The show was great. Interesting to see Jelly Roll, Billy Idol doing some Ozzy songs. You can still watch it on Hulu.

Anyone think that if they went to a record store they would find Cher, Kool and the Gang, or even Jimmy Buffet in the Rock section of the store ?
Mary J. Blige ? Please.

Frampton lived local when he was at peak
He was very pleasant person.
I knew an electrician who brought his daughter (big fan) to work at Frampton's house.
He passed her off as an apprentice but nobody was fooled and Framp was nice to the girl.
Mary J Blige was also local (Yonkers) and she wasn't kidding about having a burdensome reputation.
But she was always a good performer.
Obvs the RRHOF is just a pop hall now - it seems to get bigger every year.
Rock itself is DOA these days

3 out of 7 are rock and roll.....sad, but better than the past few years.

Foreigner. Journey was already in.
 
Only caught the Peter Frampton portion. Very likeable guy, that really seemed like a guy you could just hang out with. Unlike so many others, his voice was strong and as good as ever.

Had no idea he was school buddies with David Jones, aka David Bowie.

They went to the same high school, Frampton's father was one of Bowie's teachers. They played together frequently through the years, from school bands through their professional careers. Bowie was guest performer on Humble Pie's '69 tour and Frampton was the guitarist on Bowie's Glass Spider tour in '87.

Frampton is a great guy. He's one of my top guitar heroes and so naturally I follow him on social media. What surprised me is the level to which he engages folks - we've had several running conversations over the years about music. I tagged him right after his Rick Beato interview dropped and he got back to me right away.

I saw his last tour in Philly back in September and it was an amazing show - more so because he (and the band) did the entire thing sitting down. But he was personable and humble, which really reflects who he is. I'm fine with his music not being everyone's cup of tea (I had to drag my wife to the show) but he's a great guy and an amazing technical guitarist.

One day- when everyone can just understand that R&R HOF is just want is on the building, you all can be much happier and discuss great music careers.

BTW- one of my personal Frampton favorites is back in the mid/late 70's- The Last Chance, or as were referred to it, The Chance, reopened in Poughkeepsie. Maybe one of the best dive bar venues in the country for great music as acts often stopped there between NYC/Albany/Saratoga. They loved the crowds as it was two levels on top of the stage and maybe held 500 people at most. The Chance first opened around 1940, closed down and re-opened in 1977- first act when they re-opened was Frampton. It was my first concert ever at 15 y/o. Over the years, saw Blue Oyster Cult there many times, Zebra, Ziggy Marly, Twisted Sister, Joan Jett and many others.
But Frampton was my first concert and I'll never forget it.
He has belonged in the HOF for a long time. I sort of judge performers the same way as athletes for HOF. Is it a quick yes in my head. And did they do something that maybe changed their industry.

Honestly surprised that Frampton wasn’t in already, would’ve assumed.

I do think there’s a severe lack of punk rock in the hall that needs to be acknowledged, hopefully in coming years groups like Minor Threat, Dead Kennedy’s and Bad Religion get their due, it’s only a matter of time until that era gets past over and we start seeing the Offspring, Blink 182 and Sum 41 making their ways

Indeed - and she didn't really want to be in the RRHOF - felt like it was curve ball to her country fans. Guy who is chairman of RRHOF said Jay-Z didn't like the name and thought it should be Hip- Hop HOF. Chairman said he thought Hip Hop was already part of RR because early rockers were more like HH (Chubby Checker and such).

Pretty broad definition, but I recall Hendrix specifically highlighting his music as "electric." People sort of take that for granted now but recall how Bob Dylan fans were pissed-off when he first played an eclectic guitar - there was a border to cross. Hendrix described his gigs as akin to electric villages. He didn't have a pedal until 1967 so the electrification gradually crossed a line and was starting to come on strong in that era.

All the psychedelic's stuff with Hendrix using reverb and such was electric in nature obvs. Beatles fans doing crazy dancing as if "in a state" was different from Big Band choreography. People feeling the music physically became key. Black Panthers said it was Chubby Checker's "Twist" that first brought white youths to black music (Chubby protested he should be in RRHOF back in 2002)

Personally I don't think much of rap but when I was watching audiences dancin/shakin/rockin to rappers at ceremony, I kinda saw chairman's view there.

Personally, I can't be much happier and I could always discuss great music careers.
I still don't understand why it's billed as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and why there are so many artists in there that are clearly not rock and roll.
BTW, I'd feel the same way if the Bluegrass Hall of Fame was inducting Ozzie Osborne or the Gospel Hall of Fame was inducting Ian Dury and the Blockheads.
