I thought this was rather catchy, but then again, I grew up listening to Dr Hook and Led Zepplin..

Oh, man ... I love the stuff that guy does. He puts out a new video every week. His cover of Toto's Africa is awesome, too.

Didn't know that. Thanks.

IMO the R&R Hall of Fame is a joke...They may as well just let any ensemble that has ever sold a record or had one of their songs played on the radio into their ridiculous memorial...

There is nothing special about a majority of the entire list of current nominees...likewise the current list of nominees with the one exception of John Prine...

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2�19 nominees announced - CNN

I'm sure there are fanboys of some of those listed (and many already in) that will argue but IMO they hold no merit or talent worthiness...

Are you kidding?

The Zombies!
Todd Rundgren!
Def Leppard!

All worthy.

Not kidding at all...it's like I said they may as well just induct every group/individual that has ever had any success...

Def Leppard is a stand out among that list, they were very successful for quite a few years., of course so was Janet Jackson but she doesn't belong in a Rock hall of fame.


Sorry but John Prine is the lone one in this group I have never heard of.

I've listened to this on a local radio station almost every Friday at 5:00pm for a couple decades.... it's an anthem for the working stiff! :laughing:

My issue with the Hall, is more about who is not there. Some examples....

They'll never, ever, induct Grand Funk Railroad because they were on steroids....
