We are guessing that the Songwriters Hall of Fame is looking to jump the gun a bit as their scheduled announcement of their finalists coincides with tomorrow’s impending announcement (though it was announced after their press release that the Rock Hall would do their announcement Thursday) from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as to who they intend to name as their finalists.

No matter, as we here at Notinhalloffame.com are ready and able to take a look at the finalists for next year’s Songwriter’s Hall of Fame Class.

The nominees are:

Lionel Bart

Bert Berns

Blondie

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds

Rudy Clark

It will be a few months, before we learn who will make this next class and although we here at Notinhalloffame.com are not really investigating the possibility of doing a Notinhalloffame.com Songwriters list, we certainly will be paying attention as to who gets in!





The heavy metal band, Slayer has been eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a few years now, but there has not been a lot of online support fro their fans clamoring for their induction nor have we really heard much about their opinion on the institution itself.

This has changed as VH1 spoke with their lead guitarist, Kerry King, who had this to say about the Rock and Roll Hall:

“I’m not making a ploy to get in, but it makes me think, ‘Man, I hope they call my name one of these days.’  I think it took them a long time to get in there.  But Metallica basically opens doors for us, because when you think of metal who do you think of next from that generation?  Of course there’s Sabbath, Priest and Maiden, without question.  But for ‘The Big Four’, you think Metallica.  We’ve always been number two on The Big Four shows. So come on, Rock Hall, give us that call!  We’re ready!  I’ll donate some change or something.”

King is right to a point.  Black Sabbath is in, as is Metallica (though they did not have to wait that long, but Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Deep Purple are not in and there has never been any indication that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame respects the genre that much.  As for the Big Four, that also includes Anthrax and Megadeth, neither of which seem to be entering the Hall anytime soon.

Still, we have to applaud King for not going the route of so many other snubbed bands that have elected to publically state that they don’t care about the Hall.

At present, Slayer is currently ranked #96 on our Notinhalloffame.com Rock and Roll list.





The Toy Hall of Fame have announced their latest finalists for their institution.

The twelve finalists are:

American Girl Dolls

Battleship

Coloring Books

Jenga

PLAYMOBIL

Puppets

Scooters

Spinning Tops

Super Soakers

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Twister

Wiffle Balls

The curators at the Toy Hall of Fame and historians chose the finalists.  Two toys will be inducted on November 5th of this year.

We are not planning to do a Notinhalloffame.com list for the Toy Hall of Fame, but should we?  Let us know what you think!

Over the last few months, we here at Notinhalloffame.com have been so focused on other endeavors at the site, that we neglected to tell you about the continuing opportunity fro you to cast your opinion on existing Hockey Hall of Famers.

With that in mind, we here at Notinhhalloffame.com have expended greatly to allow you to vote on Hockey Hall of Fame inductees from 2010-2012.

The Players/Builders from that existing time frame include:


The 2011 Hockey Hall of Fame Class:


Doug Gilmour, a two time All Star and winner of the Frank J. Selke Trophy.

Ed Belfour, a two rime Vezina Trophy Winner and five time All Star.

Joe Nieuwendyk, who won three Stanley Cups and three different teams and was a four time All Star. 

Mark Howe, a four time NHL All Star and two time WHA Champion.


The 2012 Hockey Hall of Fame Class:


Adam Oates, a five time NHL All Star and gifted playmaker.

Joe Sakic, a former Hart Trophy Winner and two time Stanley Cup Champion with the Colorado Avalanche.

Mats Sundin, a long time Toronto Maple Leaf and Swedish National Star and eight time All Star.

Pavel Bure, a Russian star and three time NHL leader in goals in the National Hockey League.


I think you know what we are looking for you to do!

When your time permits, take a look at this group and let us know if their Hall of Fame inductions are justified!
