I had an older brother into the Stones, an older sister into the Beach Boys, a friend into the Beatles, but this was the first song that I spent my own money on as a kid. <br /><br />I think it was the drumming that did it for me. <br /><br />I still have the 45.MJConroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372576965208949072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-8359897651672693362009-12-17T13:58:18.708-05:002009-12-17T13:58:18.708-05:00It's great that The Hollies have finally been ...It's great that The Hollies have finally been inducted. Not only for all of their hit singles, but also for a lot of great material on their LPS. Nice to hear that Nash will be at the ceremony.

They weren't the greatest American band of the late '60s / early '70s, but <i>Fun House</i> in particular holds up as a helluva good ride, and <i>Raw Power</i> is pretty damned good too. They are certainly much more deserving than, say, Madonna was.cthulhunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-23411544811091329722009-12-16T11:48:42.867-05:002009-12-16T11:48:42.867-05:00The RS story mentions Phil Collins as being ill.

Googled:<br /><br /><i>Phil Collins today revealed he will never drum again because he is suffering from a painful spine injury.<br /><br />The former Genesis star can't even hold his sticks after years of sitting in front of a drumkit.<br /><br />Collins, 58, whose hits include In The Air Tonight, said: 'After playing drums for 50 years, I've had to stop.<br /><br />'My vertebrae have been crushing my spinal cord because of the position I drum in.<br />Phil Collins Genesis in concert at Madison Square Garden in New York, America - 25 Sep 2007<br /><br />'It comes from years of playing. I can't even hold the sticks properly without it being painful, I even used to tape the sticks to my hands to get through.'<br /><br />But this is not the end of his music career, as Collins told fans: 'Don't worry, I can still sing.'<br /></i><br /><br />God is mocking us.Noam Sanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14078219408896745687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-47523265459616624442009-12-16T01:54:34.048-05:002009-12-16T01:54:34.048-05:00Thank God!

Evolution and Butterfly anyone?<br /><br />Iggy Pop? Give me a break!! I Need Somebody with The Stooges (the only song I actually could stand) is tolerable. Later, Real Wild Child, The Passenger, Candy, sort of OK. Lust For Life was his ticket on the money train.<br /><br />Poor KISS misses out again.<br /><br />That's just my opinion.FD13NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14964671671960423199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-30313067887471957822009-12-15T21:18:04.508-05:002009-12-15T21:18:04.508-05:00I agree the MC5 should have been in first, but I&#...I agree the MC5 should have been in first, but I'm assuming the Stooges are getting the nod for the entirety of Iggy's career. <br /><br />And Richard THompson...well, it's preposterous that he's not...steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-37877272098420714202009-12-15T19:33:44.525-05:002009-12-15T19:33:44.525-05:00Still no Richard Thompson...Still no Richard Thompson...MBowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17992038501958547302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-10032294146312205382009-12-15T19:29:26.019-05:002009-12-15T19:29:26.019-05:00I love the Stooges but the MC5 should have been th...I love the Stooges but the MC5 should have been there long before...Karatist Preachernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-27961343614832083322009-12-15T18:56:35.249-05:002009-12-15T18:56:35.249-05:00It's just incredible to hear that the Hollies ...It's just incredible to hear that the Hollies made the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, so deserved.<br /><br />But may I ask "What the fuck are the critics doing electing the Stooges?"
