Is that the guy from Iron Maiden?

Is that the guy from Iron Maiden?

yes.....

 

[DudleySmith]

Link Wray and Bernie Taupin probably deserve recognition out of that list. The rest I don't care about one way or the other. The R&RHOF has alwasy been a joke anyway. I don't even know who has been inducted and who hasn't.

so does Al Kooper....

 

[shockedcanadian]

yes.....

LOL. Devil band. I know two of their songs and I laugh (now) whenever I hear them. The singer had some crazy vocals though, pure devil sounding which scared me as a kid when older guys would play it.

like the number of the beast?.....

Yeah. Very holy music.

I like Kooper as a person; him and Henry Winkler could be brothers. I just don't go in much for glam rock or whatever it is he does as a performer.

I like Willie Nelson a lot, been to at least 10 of his shows, but a 'top musician' he isn't. Wrote a lot of songs I like, and I see him as a writer, not so much a performer. And which of his songs qualify as 'rock n roll'???

I've disposed of Iron Maiden many times over the decades, every single time they pop up on the radio.
