Combining sounds from soul, electronica, fuck, and rock, the MC paved the way for countless acts that followed. Yet another hip hop pioneer that was seemingly pushed to the forefront and nominated, not inducted, and forgotten about is Afrika Bambaataa. Their legacy is one of fun, imagination, and whimsy, but their music is serious and absolutely has earned them a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Referencing everything from current dance to 60s surf rock, the B-52s were always about going somewhere totally “out there.” Songs like “Rock Lobster” and “Love Shack” are party anthems through and through, and as bizarre as they are, the group has figured out a way to be taken seriously. Finding themselves caught up in the post-punk and new wave movement, the co-ed group took themselves in a completely different direction. I’m not sure what LMFAO were talking about, but the B-52s were the original party rockers. Other hip hop acts like the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy have seemingly beat them to the punch, and despite being worthy of acknowledgement, it seems that the Hall may have indefinitely moved on from Eric B. Now, the Hall of Fame did give them a nomination back in ’11, but they weren’t inducted and haven’t been nominated since. When you look at the lineage of the genre, the duo is one of the most important acts of its formative years. The former a DJ and the latter an MC, the duo blazed their way through scratched-up soul samples and moveable beats.

When you look at the history of hip hop, Eric B. However, with Rush being welcomed in this year, and some of these acts actually getting their first nomination this year, the hope definitely exists! ERIC B. 90s bands,) such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Green Day (all shoe-ins,) I’m becoming increasingly nervous that these acts are going to have to take a backseat indefinitely. With an entire new wave of artists that will be up for nomination on the horizon (i.e. So I’ve compiled a list of 50 artists and groups that have either never made it past the nomination, never gotten to that point, and some that heartbreakingly probably never will. Now it seems as if they’re jumping around simply because they feel they need to, and deserving artists, many of them vitally influential to the acts inducted before them, are being completely left out. I get it… Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley had to be inducted before the Beatles and Stones, but that’s just a matter of lineage. It’s a different thing altogether to “wait your turn,” so to speak.

While looking over the full list of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees (that now include 5 more very deserving acts: Heart, Randy Newman, Public Enemy, Rush, and Donna Summer,) it became even more increasingly clear that there are some acts that aren’t just absent, they’re being snubbed.
