I wouldn't want a steady diet of Rush, but they are fine musicians, no doubt. Deserving of Hall of Fame, surely.
The girls from Heart most definitely. Ann has a fine voice delicate, powerful, and can be sexy too. Nancy, surely qualifies as a rock guitar goddess. I marvel at her acoustic stuff and wowed by her power riffs. Yes, they did go commercial for a while, but if you listen to Dreamboat Annie, Dog and Butterfly, and their live all acoustic album, The Road Home, one can get a true measure of their abilities. They have since leaving the commercial road gone back to their roots and have produced more great work. I always can enjoy a Heart song. Nice videos on MTV too when it still rocked.
I would not consider leaving or deleting the Wilson sisters or 2112 out of my collection. I still have great memories of seeing these two bands in their hey day. Big fan of Freddie King as well.
I try to keep an open mind about rap, but somehow have a hard time imagining today's rap fans singing fondly along with the stuff or telling their grand children about it. Can't imagine many "rap classics" being played at latter life dances or parties. It would be strange to see 70 and 80 somethings still enjoying ditties like" I did yo mom, I did yo dad, shot um with my gun cause I was bad", played at ear splitting volumes. Or worse yet watching 80 something rap artists performing their timeless ballads.
Oh, well, can't be too worse than hearing and seeing Mick Jagger belting out "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" one more time. Ug. Repulsive. Yet the stadium would fill . . . .
No accounting for taste and the worship of your era's rock and roll idols.
