The Polynesian Football Hall of Fame has announced the Class of 2015, which consists of five former players.

They are:

Charlie Ane Jr., an Offensive Lineman from USC who was a three time All Pro and two time NFL Champion with the Detroit Lions.

Rockne Freita, an Offensive Lineman from Oregon State who was a two time All Pro who played most of his professional career with the Detroit Lions.

Troy Polamalu, a Defensive Back from USC who was a former NFL Defensive Player of the Year and is a two time Super Bowl Champion.

Vai Sikahema, a Running Back/Kick Returner from BYU who was a two time Pro Bowl Selection and was the first Tongan born player in the NFL.

Al Lolotai, an Offensive Lineman from Weber Junior College who was the first Polynesian NFL player when he joined the Washington Redskins in 1945.

The official ceremony will take place in Honolulu, Hawaii on January 29, 2016.

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

Bernard Edwards

Gloria Estefan

Dallas Frazier

Marvin Gaye

Berry Gordy

Tom T. Hall

George Harrison

Jimi Hendrix                 

The Isley Brothers

Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis

John D. Loudermilk

Jeff Lynne

Madonna

Max Martin

Bob McDill

Michael McDonald

John Mellencamp

Roger Miller

Steve Miller

Tom Petty

Curly Putman

Terry Riley

Nile Rodgers

Sly Stone

Chip Taylor

Rod Temperton



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!
