RE: Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame Nominees, And a Few of My Choices for Three Tune Tuesday (Two Days Late...)
Isn't it funny - and great - how #TTT shows such diversity of taste. Sometimes we collide, sometimes we don't! These three for me aren't faves at all, though I don't mind singing along to Rebel Yell if I hear it. A blast from the '80s and one of those songs that kinda even gets better with age in a way!
Shakira, Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Billy Idol, Mariah Carey, Sade, The Black Crowes, P!NK, INXS, Melissa Ethridge, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Jeff Buckley, Lauren Hill, Luther Vandross, Wu-Tang Clan, and New Edition.
So I would have chosen Joy Division/New Order (I saw New Order about ten years ago - I found Peter Hook arrogant), Jeff Buckley (saw him live - Grace is absolutely one of the best albums from the '90s) and Wu Tang Clan.
I have always been a big New Order fan having grown up in the 80's. I hope they make it, they produced so much great music as Joy Division and then New Order. Too bad Peter Hook was so arrogant, people think they are more important than they are... Jeff Buckley I'm not as familiar with as I spent most of the 90's living in South American and the Caribbean. I missed out on a lot of the popular music of the age in English, but the Spanish ones I know well. That's how I first fell in love with the music of Shakira!
Wu Tang Clan is kind of the same situation, don't know them all that well... I've always loved Billy Idol's music though, and I am rooting for INXS as one of those great 80's bands.
Everyone has their own tastes I agree, I've become more an appreciator of heavy metal the older I've gotten for some reason! lol
I loved New Order too. Still do. I still have some on vinyl. And I was obsessed with Joy Division as a teenager (late '80s). INXS was always everyone's band fave at high school, but I never saw the appeal. Still, my mate and I were singing some of their songs the other day theatrically, much to my English husbands disbelief.
And to look back on him now - what a spunk. Back then we didn't like to like the mainstream popular bands as were busy being alternative. Turns out we absorbed INXS anyway.
He couldn't believe how we could remember all the lyrics - such was the power of radio at the time I guess. I do love some of their songs now, probably because of nostalgia!!

New Order I like too but it’s no Joy Division! Curtis wrote most the music and this is an insult not having them both stand independently!
