Paul Rodgers is right about the hall of fame … his voice is phenomenal and deserves the utmost respect and recognition.
Well this makes me respect Paul Rodgers even more. He is a living legend and definitely 1 of the top RnR vocalists of all time. Inducting Paul into the hall would not only be a downgrade for him, but an upgrade the hall doesn't deserve.
Yeah, me too Johnny! Mad Respect for bad company who didn’t want the invitation to begin with! ❤❤❤
I’ve been crying for a long time that the rock & roll hall of fame is crooked for not having Bad Company inducted…I never knew it was Paul Rodgers not accepting the invitation! Thanks for clearing it up
Who ever gave an f about the sham that is the industry establishment-endorsed "Hall of Fame"?...It's a pathetic, dead institution. I always appreciated Miles Davis's attitude about critics who slammed him for going Electric back in the day.... "These people want to put Jazz in a Museum, freeze-dried like a mummy "....I paraphrase from his autobiography, but....still True.
I've always thought Paul Rodgers and Lou Gramm have the two best classic rock voices.
Yes Mike! 2 truly amazing singers! And both great songwriters as well! ❤❤❤
Just listened to the new album. I like the overall sound and the songs, but frankly I just enjoy listening to Paul’s voice on anything.
Yeah me too! His voice is like a warm crackling fire on a cold day SpitWorks! ❤❤❤
Lou Gramm & Paul Rodgers... Great singers.
Hi Sue! Two of the very best, I agree! ❤❤❤
Hey Michael....best wishes. Paul Rodgers is an elite-level Rock icon. Any HOF that doesn't acknowledge him as such isn't worth being a part of. Ernie
Hi Ernie! Good to hear from you! And I agree with you regarding him being an elite-level Rock icon brother! ❤❤❤
If he is too be In the hall of Fame I say it's about dam time he's great 👍 but hes always been a hall of Fame too me in league of his own greatnes Paul Rogers the voice total pro vocals and full of soul in a league of his own greatnes is greatness with or without hall of shame he tops too me one of my favorite artists
Oh I so agree Gary! What an icon! ❤❤❤
Seagull is my favorite by him. It really shows off his vocal talents
Oh yeah, and a Rock acoustic classic Clyde! Good call! ❤❤❤
When Johnny Rotten found out they were being inducted he wrote a letter calling the r&rhof A "piss stain and we're not coming".
Excellent example Chris! Thank you! ❤❤❤
Can’t agree more with you Michael at just how good Paul Rodgers was and is.
Thanx Ron! ❤❤❤
Hi Michael. Paul Rodgers is a hero of mine, too, and I love Bad Co. (The fact that they were the first band signed to Led Zeppelin’s record label says it all.) I figured Jann Wenner was standing in the way of their inclusion to the rock hall, but I do understand where Paul is coming from with his objection to induction. I hope he changes his mind, though. Yeah, the rock hall has its issues (ahem, see ya Mr. Wenner), but Bad Co deserves to be celebrated and honored forever. They are rock & roll giants. Thanks for all you do, Michael. Take care.
Great comments here Chris! I just like his attitude brother! A true artist would feel that way! ❤❤❤
Love it. Totally agree. Thanks Michael. From Denmark.
Glad you enjoyed it Andean! And hello back from the USA! ❤❤❤
Good to see you back in the studio, Michael. Hope things are looking better each day. I love Paul mentioning how he once turned down the Hall of Shame. Beautiful.
Things are starting to gel! Boys I had forgotten what it takes to put one of these ‘proper’ videos together!
Thanx so much for your support Bruce!
Everybody check out Bruce’s channel! ruclips.net/video/in6jgCaAehY/видео.htmlsi=hJKNL1dIkRFZ6599
Well said! Maybe ALL rock artists nominated in the future should start turning down the nomination. 😃The only band I know who's turned it down is the Sex Pistols, or at least John Lydon...
Johnny Rotten accepting a nomination and attending some fancy bourgeois induction ceremony would be a huge let down.
An excellent suggestion Larry! A party that no one shows up for! YES!!! ❤❤❤
Pretty ironic that it is even called the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Everything but rock and roll gets in.
Absolutely-freakin’-lutely Freedom! ❤❤❤
I can't think anyone that rejected the Hall of fame. That's how little I think of it.
LOL! I see what ya did there Tony! ❤❤❤
In 2018, when British rock band Dire Straits were inducted, bandleader Mark Knopfler did not attend the ceremony and offered no official explanation, leaving bass player John Illsley to say, "He just didn't feel like coming, it's as simple as that. It just didn't appeal to him, and I appealed to him on several occasions.
Great example Lonewolf! Thanx! ❤❤❤
The induction of musicians like Paul Rodgers is more for the fans rather than the musicians. I'm sure many musicians or bands could care less but understand induction means a lot for the fans.
Everybody wants a trophy Chet! But they are giving them away to Hip-Hop artists & Rappers! The whole show has become ‘As The Stomach Turns’! ❤❤❤
I never got to see Bad Company live. I did however, get to see "The Firm" live in Daytona Beach back in the 80's. It was an awesome show and it's the only chance I ever had to see Jimmy Page do his amazing guitar gymnastics, the violin bow on the guitar bit and all.
I was seeing a girl who worked at a pizza parlor back then. One of the delivery drivers had to take an order of pizzas up to one of the big Hotels in Daytona Beach Shores. He knocked on the door and it was members of The Firm. He managed to get a pizza box signed by Page and Rodgers. Those were good times back then.
I don’t know of any refusers but I will be seeing 80 yr old Steve in December. Samantha Fish will open. Can’t wait
I saw a Bad Co concert on RUclips from Red Rocks a few years ago. Paul was killin it. That voice is hanging in there, unlike many of his contemporaries (ie David Coverdale).
The greats just keep on ticking Dennis! Have a wonderful time btw! ❤😉👌
Man pauls solo albums like cut loose and electric were awsome super talented he played all instruments on cut loose not many know hes a great guitar player too saw him once in a small venue total pro didnt miss a beat
Finally a video with some significance and some teeth. Paul Rodgers is a legend. Saw him with the Firm on both tours in the 80"s he is a legend and the fake RRHOF can kiss my derriere as to why he is not in there whether he wanted in or not.Paul is gracious he would have showed up to accept his award.
He’s so damned authentic to me John! ❤❤❤
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine I second that. Here should be your next topic why isn't The Guess Who in the RRHOF? I put Burton Cummings up there with Paul Rodgers any day and he's still out there doing it to this day. Another travesty is why isn't Jim Croce in? But Joan Jett is and both her hits are covers while Jim wrote the majority of his own music. A real crime here. Guess it wouldn't have anything to do with her sexual preference would it?
Although there was only one, Paul's album with Kenny Jones as The Law is always overlooked.
Great point drmusic! My bad for the exclusion! ❤❤❤
Excellent commentary here Michael. Many interesting points made I wasn't aware of which is one of the many reasons why I love your show! Dolly Parton, The sex Pistols, Guns N Roses, all declined. Among bands that were inducted, many individuals refused to attend.
Great examples here as always Royce! There are a few salty dogs still holding down the fort brother! ❤❤❤
I just downloaded Rodgers's album, thanks to you. Thank you! Appreciate ya!
Enjoy Melvin! I believe it’s a solid piece of art, and worthy of listening to even years from now brother! ❤❤❤
Extremely hard not to like Bad Company !!! First time i heard them i was freshly home from Nam !! I have loved their stuff every since !! I have every thing they ever wanted did on every format !!!
One of my favourite singers all time in rock and roll. He is one of my heroes too Michael !❤❤❤ midnight those is fantastic!👍👍🤘🤘
Yeah and 20 years ago, it would be getting amazing airplay! So sad Jeffrey1 ❤❤❤
So true Michael!!! By the way I misspelled that. It's rose. Oops.
To me, Paul Rogers not being elected to the Rock & Roll HOF is a travesty. What more could a talented singer do to join this prestigious group? One of the greatest rock/blues vocalist ever.
Amen Gene! ❤❤❤
Another great show Mike.
What kind of hall of fame even ASKS people if they want to be inducted? That's like Babe Ruth not being in the Baseball Hall of Fame just because he wasn't interested. Sounds more like they didn't induct them because they were afraid they couldn't profit off of the members attending or performing. The average rock fan probably couldn't tell you what bands are in or not anyway.
Sadly you’re right John! ❤❤❤
My favorite Rock and Roll voice followed by Dan McCafferty (R.I.P). I did not know he had turned down the nominations which only makes me a bigger fan. Bad Co. is one of my all time favorite bands. "Desolation Angels" is well....perfect. There is nothing I can say that has not been said about his talent level so I wont. I appreciate you shedding light on this subject and reminding everyone what nonsense the RRHOF truly is. ...Cheers
Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden stated he doesn't have any interest in the rock and roll hall of fame, being in it, showing up if inducted, or running a promotion campaign like Judas Priest did. He also said it's run by the music business establishment who can't make a living doing anything else, and lastly we ain't dead yet.. Bassist Steve Harris said we've never done music to be in some hall of fame...If it were a thing that was voted on by fans that would be ok. But it's not. So what's the point.
Wonderful example Meeshrick! ❤❤❤
According to author Brett Milano in 2007, "entire genres get passed over, particularly progressive rock, '60s Top 40, New Orleans funk and a whole lot of black music."Critics have pointed out a bias in favour of American and British acts, while important Canadian rock bands, such as the Guess Who, are often ignored, with Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Rush, and the Band being the only Canadian acts in the Hall
Well said Lonewolf! ❤❤❤
Very good video. :-) THanks as always for making such good videos and discuss things that you do. :-) Much thanks and love for keeping it real ;-)
So nice of you to say ctcards! Thank you so much!❤❤❤
given what the place has become i would not want anything to do with them and certainly would not want to pay thousands for a table and have to give a speech.
Amen again MsBenlane! ❤❤❤
On a side note, now that they’ve opened the flood gates to “other” genres and also those recent acts with notoriety but not necessarily longevity, it’ll be harder and harder for true rock performers to get recognized.
Thanx GenX! And so small of a side note, I might add! Great point! ❤❤❤
Hi Michael, in answer to your question, Ritchie Blackmore was invited when Deep Purple were inducted into the hall of shame but he refused to attend, and he’s a true giant of rock.
And one of my favorite guitarists of all time! In my top 5 Ron! ❤❤❤ Thanx for the info!
The Voice of God!
I think Bob Dylan rejected being nominated for the rock and roll Hall of Fame and Neil Young possibly.
Thanx.A.! I’ll check it out! ❤❤❤
It is my understanding that the hall wanted to include the whole stable of Bad Co and that Paul had issues with the Hart/Howe era. I love Paul, and when I think of Bad Co, I do not think of Hart and Howe. However, those two dudes kept the brand going, and in fact, outsold some early Bad Co offerings. Paul should be more gracious that they kept the Company rockin' and relevant.
Paul Rodgers is in my Top 10 Rock Singers One of the best!! 🎤🎤🎤
Me too! In fact I’m putting together a top 10 list as I type Peter! ❤❤❤
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine Cool I hope Lou Graham n Ian Gillan are amongst them! 🎸🎸🎸🎸
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine do you think Robert is almost singing an octave or at least a few tones lower than the record here Michael. ruclips.net/video/IbW5K2F1N28/видео.htmlsi=tJvmK-mp7feKMaoZ
I asked Stephen Bishop if he thought singer songwriters like himself, Jim Croce and Harry Chapin didn't get respect from the Hall of Fame. His reply surprised me
Gil McAuliff Yes. I had a chance to be nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But did not take it. Even though I do think my songs and career qualify. The route they asked me to take was not genuine. I'm not going to pay to play.
Great info here Gilm! Thanx! 👌❤🤘
When you can be in a band with Jimmy Page and front Queen that's all the proof you need
Agree Paul is one of rocks best vocalist. I think the Sex Pistols or Johnny Rotten told the RHF to f off.
Yes they did, bless their black little hearts! Great point Rick! ❤❤❤
Funny story, a number of years ago when Howard leese of Heart fame was touring with Paul's solo band I happened to run in to him after a show and he was actively campaigning for people to vote online for Heart to be inducted. It certainly can mean different things for different folks.
Who else has put down the rock hall ? Alex Lifeson gave a pretty clear speech. The place is a joke. I visited it many years ago. I agree with Alex
Thanx Omni! Great example! ❤❤❤
Both Ted Nugent and Ian Anderson said they had no interest in RRHOF.
I think people need to know that there are 2 sides of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame
There’s the organization that votes on who should be inducted and have their names be all over the walls of the museum and of course to be honored in a induction ceremony every year
And then there’s the 2nd side of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame which is really just a museum to attract tourists that is no different than the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown or the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton
There’s one part that shows a little plaque of all the inductees from what I recall and the rest of it is showcasing important things from the history of Rock n Roll and the genres that inspired Rock n Roll
Great points here,but the museum will no doubt take on Hip-Hop & Rap characteristics now Ohsoedgy!
And then what does it become? An In & Out Burger joint for music? Just saying…😉👌❤
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine At the end of the day I am thankful there is a place that honors the likes of Chuck Berry,Elvis Presley,Bo Diddley,Fats Domino,Buddy Holly,Miles Davis,Louis Armstrong,Billie Holiday,Nat King Cole,BB King,Howlin Wolf,Muddy Waters,Tina Turner,Aretha Franklin,James Brown,Little Richard,AC/DC,The Beatles,The Rolling Stones,The Who,The Kinks,Duane Eddy,Led Zeppelin,Aerosmith,Roxy Music,Duran Duran,The Ramones,Black Sabbath,Deep Purple,Johnny Cash,Metallica,Nirvana,Santana,Louis Jordan,The Clash,Talking Heads,Tom Petty,Michael Jackson,Prince,Judas Priest,Van Halen,Heart,Rush,Sex Pistols,KISS,Link Wray,Elvis Costello,The Police,Genesis and Queen and so many other great Rock,Blues and R&B acts that have shaped the soundtracks of our lives so that’s my take.
The RRHOF could have made in happen by putting in Free and Bad Company, as they did with the Small Faces and Faces. Maybe Wenner came up with one of his blue plate special vendettas vs Free?
Nicely put Skip! V is for Jann Wenner! ❤❤❤
for me, paul rogers is one of the few greats who can still hit it; he never seemed to loose his mojo!
as far as the RnRHOF? from what i understand it seems to be a corporate thing. if it was more 'proper', bad company and many more should be in it as well as being more focused and clear on the type of artists who are being inducted or considered.
The R&RHoF is many corporations ! I have a playlist with one video that clearly identifies who the major players are! ❤❤❤
Mine too it's blasphemy that Bad Company or Foreigner or Stix are not in the hall
The Hall of Fame is political animal with very little to do with recognizing artists. I don't blame Paul Rogers for not caring about it. Paul Rogers is the best vocalist in Rock music, ever. Hes the Frank Sinatra of Rock music.
There are several artists who refused to show up and accept. The Hall of Fame doesn't need their permission to induct them. Axl Rose asked not to be inducted for GnR. Van Morrison didn't show. David Bowie didn't show. The Sex Pistols sent a letter rejecting the induction, but Jann Wenner read the letter at the ceremony as they inducted the Pistols any way. They can induct Bad Company whenever they want.
I remember several years ago Duran Duran being asked if they cared. This was when they started inducting hip hop and things like that. I remember the response was they didn't care what the suits thought, just the fans. Years later they were inducted and were even encouraging the fans to vote so they either changed their mind once they had a chance or always wanted it and pretended they didn't. They actually got in because many of the old guard who didn't like them (like Wiener, intentionally misspelling) were replaced by people who did (Nile Rodgers, Dave Grohl, etc). I think will change the direction of the hall with the newer people getting more power and I think we will see more overlooked acts. However, it could mean more loose definitions of "rock" and we might see people who should never be in, although we are seeing it now.
i saw in interview with iron maiden. bruce said the idea disgusted him they didn't make disposible pop music and the others said they didn't care it was about the music. recognitnition was nice but thoough they all said they cared about awards voted by fans.
And that should be the whole approach to all who even wind up in such a proposed Hall MsBenlane! Amen! ❤❤❤
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLinesomeone should have told priest that
I know the SEX PISTOLS refused to show up for their night. I dont know if any of the others im about to mention count but Axl Rose did a no-show on his night, mainly because they kept wanting to make it a reunion. I find this funny because he has always shown up at every induction ceremony before his own and partaked in the ending night jam session. Dave Lee Roth comes to mind as well, he did a no-show when they refused to let him perform.Dave took it as an insult, say he sings for super. Great way to honor your inductie by insulting him. I can't remember who said it first but i agree with the statement " i would never accept membership into a club that would have me as a member " seems to sum it up.
Great example Toms! ❤❤❤
3:39 no.
he's the only one from the 1970s with a FULL VOICE left
I’d add Sammy Hagar to the list. Whatever you think of his music, he still sounds fantastic.
Seeing Sammy this Friday night in Hammond, IN. Can't wait.
@@MarkRichardson-tx9kkLucky you!
The Monkees still need to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame sooner or later
Absolutely. I’ve made a video covering this topic at length. Hopefully now that Wenner’s been ejected from the board, this will eventually come to pass (preferably during Micky’s lifetime).
@@BruceColon-BSides I sure hope that the Monkees finally get their chance now that Jann Wenner is out of the picture
Big Monkees fan! Better than LL Cool whatshisface anyway! 😉👌❤
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine LL Cool J
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine 🤣🤣🤣
It would be wonderful if we got a new Bad Co. album but Mick Ralphs is almost 80 and in poor health so don't hold your breath. However Midnight Rose will more than suffice. As for 'The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame' it should be retitled 'The NON Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame' at least in my book.
But even if we had material written by him, it would be so cool Baz! 😉❤👌
I know of Bruce Dickinson turning down Iron Maiden's idea of getting inducted. I think he also called it 'A Bad Organisation'. Someone may have to correct me on this, cause I feel like I'm wrong.
Iron maiden hasn't unfortunately gotten close to being inducted but Bruce himself said he wouldn't accept. Harris has been somewhat kinda maybe deal. I hope they give the hall a finger and says we ain't those wuss ass judas priest
Spot on Callum! ❤❤❤
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine thank you.
Ritchie Blackmore didn’t show for deep purples induction
Another renegade and excellent example Wokebloke! ❤❤❤
We all make our own opinions (apart from the sheep)
Yeah I agree gudgen! But sheople are sheople! What can you do? 😉👌❤
I think Paul Rodgers removed himself from the rock business along time ago. He makes music and releases music, obviously, but he’s more interested in taking care of himself and his family. And releasing music is a way of paying the bills. I’m NOT saying he doesn’t care. I’m just saying that he really doesn’t give two shits about the business and scene for a long long time.
Well said Stormbringer! ❤❤❤
There are diff kinds: those that catefully play the game and those that go their own way. You decide which artist you support.☮️ Al$0, its a cash grab: thsy charge $10000 a ticket to the artist for each of their guests beyond 2 comp tickets! Obviously they know they have loved ones...duh!
Perfectly stated here Adam! Bullseye! ❤❤❤
I was the 400 th like
Micheal....
scait! ❤❤❤
On the reverse side... Mick Jones (Foreigner) went to the RRHOF years ago and LOUDLY complained that Foreigner be inducted... it seems he so made a belligerent scene he was told to his face that Foreigner would NEVER be inducted... Lou Gramm did not go with Mick to the meeting and surely would not have conducted himself in such a manner... so thanks to Mick Jones (who has made "Foreigner" into a glorified tribute band scamming the masses for 20 years...) the band will most likely never see even a nomination...
And there was bad blood between Mick and Jann even before that! Jann a little shit Dean! ❤❤❤
From Australia , Paul Rodgers/ Bad Company , Ten Years After , Emerson lake Palmer , Jethro Tull , Grand Funk Railroad , The Guess Who , Joe Cocker , Rory Gallagher , shit Deep Purple were eligible for 25 years before being inducted , the RRHOF is so out of touch , Peace from down under.
A brother from down under George! You just named some of my very favorite bands of all time! Not a clunker amoung ‘em George! Salute from the USA brother! ❤❤❤
The rock and roll HOF. Is a joke. When they finally let the GUESS WHO in, I wouldn’t go if i were them. Are they waiting for them to die? My hat is off to Paul Rodgers .
Amen to that sentiment Mark! ❤❤❤
If someone watched enough of your videos, they might get the idea you're not a fan of the R&RHOF!
Who me, Kitchener! (While I whistle innocently and roll my eyes!) 😉❤👌
Todd Rundgren did not show up for his statue.
Pretty sure Toto wasn't even considered after they refused to be on Rollin stone Cover in the late 70's or 80's... Jut saw their 250 greatest guitarists and whoever wrote that list really needs their head examined no wonder theres so much bull$hit with R&R hall of fame
All from the mind of a man who evidently is by his own statements is a racist & Misogynist! Oops! Jann opens his mouth, and the Bullshit is waist deep Seeker! Thanx! ❤❤❤
I give Rodgers a lot of credit for his desire to not be a member of the RRHOF CULT!. Just sayin
Me too Marvin! I so agree! ❤❤❤
Didn’t Blackmore give the RRHF the middle finger?
Who didn't blackmore give the finger too. Probably gave it to himself in the mirror lol
Who’s hasn’t the Great Mr Blackmore not given an extended index to Truthhurts? Another hero of mine btw! 😉❤👌
@@Duck_Dodgers LOL! I just saw this comment AFTER I gave nine! Great minds think alike Duck!❤❤❤
@@Duck_Dodgers absolutely. Everyone except Candice 😎
….why? Because Bad Company is a legitimate Rock And Roll Band who hit from the first self-titled album to (IMHO) Rough Diamonds in 1982.
I didn’t include the double CD “The Original Bad Company Anthology”, because - As great as the four new songs are - they could have done about three more new tracks for it (one would have had to been the song that Paul and Mick closed their episode of Behind The Music with) and really made the Anthology uber special!
I think the rock and roll hall of fame is kind of bogus, I mean they're putting rap artists in there these days. What the..
RRHOF is lame free and bad co should both be in, rip koss
Scr.. steve miller complain afterwards says a lot about him. If you got a problem don't accept. Rodgers not wanting too shouldn't stop them getting inducted. Anyways scr.. that non rock n roll hall of sh..
I commended Steve actually in my video on him, but with Paul saying screw you from the get go, I was impressed even more Duck! ❤❤❤
The rock & roll hall of fame is overrated and the Rolling Stone magazine or web or whatever is overrated and most artists are overrated, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton are all overrated and that's just a few from a long list, a lot of labels destroyed artists that were in contract with them instead of promoting them, most of the people in the music industry don't have any understanding in music, they have understanding in business but not in music, the term that determine better than other the problem is "Rock n roll is a vicious game", Paul Rodgers should have been in the Rock & roll hall of fame long time ago, he's one of the greatest voices in rock music, his new album is superb!!!
The true hall of fame is the musicians hall of fame in nashville. That cleveland travesty has just been wenners personal ego trip. Actual musicians dont pay any attention to the "rock and roll" hall of fame.
Nice comparison here Johnathan! Spot on! ❤❤❤
Bad Company. Foreignor, Jethro Tull 3 bands thats are NOT in the hall of fame. but the HOF is now only about inclusiveness and minorities and women. who needs another male rock band and so these 3 wont get in for a while. so rap and Cyndy Lauper and the like will all get in before these bands.
Ouch stocks! Painful, but true! ❤❤❤
Add Thin Lizzy with the wonderfully talented Phil Lynott, a charismatic frontman, singer, bassist and lyricist. ‘Live And Dangerous’ is up there with the best ever live albums ever released. Add in the exclusion of Badfinger, a great band that was destroyed by wilful mismanagement culminating in two members taking their own lives, Pete Ham and and Tom Evans. They wrote the classic, ‘Without You’ that many thought Nilsson did and ‘Baby Blue’, the closure in the fantastic ‘Breaking Bad’. Add in the greatest guitarist (imho), the one and only GMan, sought after it would appear by the Rolling Stones and revered by Brian May, Slash and Alex Lifeson. Of course Mister Rory Gallagher. These 3 should have been in there long before the many non Rock acts, but maybe it’s good they, like Paul are not. To close, my first ever concert was in 1974 and it remains one of my all time favourites. The band on stage was Bad Company. Rock on Paul, the Voice, numero uno. Absolutely No 1 in rock singing.
The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is just a virtue signaling sham.
Amen Whytemonkee! ❤❤❤
Who cares? ABBA? JayZ? Eminem?
The so called the hall of Fame is a joke 🤣 period.
because RR HOF sucks
