Here's my hall of fame...

I would love if there was a Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Hall of Fame.

Black Sabbath, KISS, Venom, Slayer, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Metallica could be the first class of inductees.

Wha? No Purple (Deep)? I really need to watch my speedometer when listening to Lazy or Highway Star live.

Ok, fair point. Purple is in!

Roxy Music should have been in the HOF years ago... influenced the new romantic movement in music, took Rock music to new heights and directions.

...but what cap does Dio wear, Rainbow, Sabbath or his very own Dio?



and I think you might have a few objectors leaving out of the first class Zeppelin, AC/DC, Van Halen, Megadeth, & Motorhead!


It would be tough picking an initial 5, but I'd go:

Zeppelin
AC/DC
Metallica
Van Halen
Black Sabbath/Ozzy

in no particular order.


The next class:

Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Motorhead
Slayer
Guns n Roses




dammit.....forgot Aerosmith

Early work with Ozzy is where Sabbath is deserving of Hall enshrinement, by the time Ronnie James got involved.....nope! I don't see him in there with Rainbow or on his own either.

Before you go putting Motorhead into an inaugural class, they didn't originally write and perform their own self-titled/named song. The group that did should be under consideration for enshrinement before them (and many other named bands/performers) in my opinion.

You would never have said this to Lemmy if he were still alive.



And I'm fine with Dio waiting to get in, as far as I'm concerned He's The Last In Line!

Sure I would have. Lemmy actually originally played for this other group I'm referring to, and wrote and performed "Motorhead" while he was with them. I believe even he agreed that it was while he with this original group that he really developed and learned how to play and perform to became the musician and performer he ended up being once he formed Motorhead the group. If I remember correctly, he ended up getting caught/arrested going from the U.S. into Canada for drugs, and because of that along with a lot of other erratic behavior he exhibited at the time, this original group ended up just replacing him. Kind of/sort of like what happened between Ozzy and Sabbath to some extent I guess.
