Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Live Options

[Hoodstock]

In my mind, being a biased Live fan of course, I truely feel that Live should end up in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame some day. I know that some of you will say that the R&RHOF isn't worth a dime, but I still think it's a big accomplishment to get accepted .

Despite my personal feelings, I don't think that Live will currently be considered for entry. I would like them to make it, and I was wondering what other people thought of them getting in or what they needed to do to do so.

I really think that Live needs to make some more albums with the commercial appeal of TC to be considered. Some of you will be against this, but if their songs are massively on the radio that means that people are listening to them. It would also expose the band to a new generation of fans that may have never been exposed to Live.

Because I would like to seem them inducted someday, and I would like to see their fan base rejuvinated with new and old fans alike, I hope that album 8 is not only angry but appealing to the masses.

What are your thoughts?

I could go on for days about this, but in brief: their influence has been infinitely more powerful; the respect they have earned from artists (and others) in the industry is a thousand times stronger; the amount they have given back to their fans (they were the introducers of the "guaranteed best seats in the house for fan club members" innovation and the making every show available on an "official" bootleg idea -- both of which have been copied by a number of other artists in the past few years) and to charitable causes in general (they play a number of benefit shows every year, and donate part of EVERY ticket they sell to charity) absolutely dwarfs what Live has done; and, finally, their music is frankly just better, or at least it has been since Live decided to create (?) the album that we call V.

Get it?

I think Pearl Jam's last two albums have been utter crap. Its great that you love them but I'm sure there are ton of people who would take V, BOP, or SFBM over Pearl Jams latest work. Hell, I'd take V, BOP, and SFBM over Pearl Jams entire catalogue but that's because I'm a Live fanatic.
