Rock and Roll Hall of Shame?

Posted by mauimusicman on March 18, 2007 at 14:44:07:
Read this on the Mojo website. The Dave Clark 5 was actually voted in to the RR Hall. They take the top 5 vote-getters for the Hall and the DC5 was fifth. Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone led the panel to change the results and place Grandmaster Flash in the Hall because they felt they needed a rap act and it would make for better tv. Personally, leaving aside the fact that most Rap "artists" utilized, no wait, make that stole, errrrr SAMPLED, thats the word i'm looking for, Clive Stubblefield playing on James Brown's track â€œThe Funky Drummerâ€ for backing tracks to "Rap" over (in case you ever wondered why early rap all sounded the same), it's just shamefull that the panel would see fit to sidestep the rules just to vote in a freeking rap act. Reminds of of the past two Presidential elections.
