Common discusses the RRHOF

Tupac Shakur has been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and has a good chance of getting inducted. If Common has his way, there will be a lot more to follow.
As part of an interview with Rolling Stone, the rapper/actor had this to say:
“Queen Latifah is one of the first people to come to mind, A Tribe Called Quest. De La Soul! De La Soul is so powerful. Nas and OutKast are some that come to mind, as well."
The precedent of rap finding a place in the Rock Hall has long been underway with Grandmaster Flash paving the way for other artists like Run DMC, Public Enemy and N.W.A. to follow.
Nas and OutKast are not yet eligible for the Rock Hall, but will be ranked high by us once eligible.
Now we sit and wait for Gene Simmons’ response.

Arnel Pineda snubbed? Not Really.

Is this really a controversy?
Those of you following the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year know that for the first time, Journey was nominated for the Hall. Going against past tradition, the Cleveland bases institution has announced which members of nominated bands would receive induction. Current Journey singer, Arnel Pineda is not listed on the ballot, which has made keyboardist, Jonathan Cain a little upset.
“There is no Journey without Arnel right now. He certainly has earned his stripes. He's been with us longer than any lead singer has consecutively stayed in the band. He's given us 10 years straight, not running off or doing this, doing that, just being The Guy. So that's worth something,"
While Pineda has been with them a long time and unquestionably has a voice that can match original singer, Steve Perry, it was Perry who originally sang and recorded the hits…which is what they still play predominantly today.
At present, Journey is doing very well with the fan vote, often a precursor for future induction. Should that happen could we see a temporary reunion with Perry?
Could be!

This is a long process isn’t it?
As many of you are aware, we are in the process of working on another series of lists here at Notinhalloffame.com. That is the Top 50 players of every major North American Franchise. As such, we are proud to present our second team (all of which whose order has been chosen at random), the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Granted, we know that Minnesota has not been an overly successful franchise, but the process means that we have to do them all!
Clearly the number one choice is obvious, the recently retired Kevin Garnett, but the fun part is watching this list change with it being a young franchise.
We will give you the top five now for those of you interested:
1. Kevin Garnett
2. Kevin Love
3. Wally Szczerbiak
4. Terrell Brandon
5. Tom Gugliotta
Who are the rest?
You can find them here:
We will be unveiling another franchise from Minnesota, the Minnesota Vikings.
As always, we here at Notinhalloffame.com thank you for your support!
