fyi muse has yet to even go platinum in the us, so if they're the quintessential band that "blew up" in the 00s that kind of proves my point that few did

and if you don't believe there's been a "collapse of the industry" google "music industry collapse"

Voted Oasis as the band here I hate the most.

Weezer would be especially objectionable, but I still like their first album, so y'know...

Not in the sense that the industry makes less money (that's obvious), but in the sense that they can't launch bands into superstardom anymore. Even if fans are stealing rather than buying their albums these days, bands like Muse, Foo Fighters, Kings Of Leon, Coldplay etc are superstars to their generation in the same sense that Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin were - they sell out the same arenas etc.

I still say it should be.

i carry the torch for disco inauthenticity (Eric H.), Wednesday, 12 May 2021 18:53 (two years ago) link

Besides the three that are already in, the only acts to get nominated were RATM, Soundgarden and Jane's Addiction.

Halfway there but for you, Thursday, 13 May 2021 14:59 (two years ago) link

i think both rage and soundgarden have a pretty good chance of eventually getting in.

tom morello is not quite on the dave grohl level of "rock ambassador" but he's close. and people seem to miss chris cornell.
