I’m against it, we have more than enough foreigners.

Congratulations to them, but what about these and many others?

Gregg Allman
Joe Cocker
Roger Daltrey
America
Bachman Turner Overdrive
Badfinger
Blind Faith
Blood, Sweat & Tears
Blue Oyster Cult
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
The Fabulous Thunderbirds

I am happy to report I have never watched the HOF show.


Anyway, what is their definition of rock and roll?

"Waiting for a Girl Like You" is one of the best songs of all-time, in my view. With all their great hits and albums, I would've thought they'd be in a LONG TIME AGO.

Imagine you are Foreigner, rocking since 1976, millions and records sold, and rapper Missy Elliot who was 5 when you formed your band gets inducted before you! A pretty bitter pill if you ask me, but I'm sure they will be forced to be gracious when they get their turn to speak.

As stated, the R&R HOF has been a joke for a long time.... looong time. Since they started inducting that $hit, it's gone into the toilet.

Greg Allman plus the rest of the band were inducted in 1995, The WHO and Daltrey in 1990.
I bet you can't be inducted twice for a solo career ect.
You made me look, lol.

I was speaking in terms of a solo artist in their own right, not as a member of a group.

Maybe I'm behind the times.

The War Memorial - classic arena name!

The audio is Lou Graham but the singer on the video is Kelly Hanson.
Lou is the voice of Foreigner.

@Don Frelier It's about time, isn't it? Mick Jones was less than kind to Lou Gramm over the years.
Their first three albums were their best - when they had more talented musicians and not just a bunch of "yes" men to Mick Jones. That said, I do like his playing on those first three!

 

[Don Frelier]

I like all their first 6 albums. But yes the first 2 in particular had a harder tone.
But some of the later ones really featured Lou's voice.

That's a pretty abbreviately list... RnR HOF is a joke... Both in who they have inducted as well as who they haven't...
Congrats to the guys from Foreigner just the same... They deserve to be in a Real RnR HOF...
