Nominations for presenter—Stevie at the Hall of Fame
Have we thought about who we want to present Stevie's induction?
|
Sheryl already inducted Fleetwood Mac ..I dunno how about the ghost of Bob Welch:shrug:

I think it would be awesome if Christine McVie presented the honor- first, I think it would be touching, because Christine avoids the limelight but would probably do it for Stevie and second, it would be fabulous to see Christine doing something like that. |
IF Stevie gets in this time, I'd say it will be Mick.
He's her biggest cheerleader. He's been her lover and her friend. He's worked with her in FM and her solo career as well. Her partner in crime. They are inseparable. I wonder what he'd say about the GDW?! |
Natalie Maines
Sarah McLachlan Joan Baez Vanessa Carlton |
None of the above...most likely Jimmy Iovine.
|
I vote for Don Henley and Joe Walsh together :lol::lol::lol:
|
+1
Lindsey Buckingham. i will fly there myself to laugh at this happen :lol: Quote:
Lindsey. Don AND Joe #dead |
I am hard pressed to think anyone from FM will be involved. Mick will probably go b/c he loves/wants/needs the publicity she helps bring to FM, but I think they will largely stay away. I agree on the Jimmy Iovine angle given he helped launch her solo career, which is what this would be honoring.

Mick is her footman
(Assuming she "wins"), Stevie and her minders will ensure that the presenter is the person with the biggest name value and cache. Don't like your chances, Mick.

I would have said Sheryl, Chrissie or HAIM, but I doubt they would have Sheryl do it again, and as much as Chrissie has bonded with Stevie, she had to be dragged kicking and screaming to her own induction, so I just don't see it!
So.....in addition to attracting a younger audience....I would go with HAIM! |

Why you would want to though...I don't know. |
Dave Grohl?
Florence Welch? Haim or Sheryl Crow most likely though. |

Or the entire Coven from AHS?
Personally, for any creditability for her solo work, which she is potentially getting inducted for, it should be Iovine on his own inducting her. Grohl, Crow, Lady Antebellum, Miley, Haim, Vanessa.....sing her classics out loud and proud. I think anyone associated with or playing in any version of FM should stay away. Iovine should induct her solo. It gives her more credibility, especially now. She was always pretty vocal about separating the 2, and her crew here (right now) is slightly diminished. |

Harry could nominate and duet with Stevie on "Stop Dragging My Heart Around". Anyone else think Pat Benatar had a more successful solo career than Stevie? Is she in yet? The song that beat Stevie's "Stand Back" for a Grammy. |

"Invincible" and "We Belong" went to the Top 10 in '85. :shrug: In the same time period, early to mid 80s where Stevie and Pat were most successful, I believe Pat was more successful than Stevie solo. |
Quote:
I'd say they had remarkably similar solo success both in terms of singles and albums. Perhaps Benatar had a slight edge. Stevie is more enduring and influential though. |

If there is anything Stevie has over Pat is that she is indeed more influential and relevant today, even though Pat is still out there touring and sounding good. Bottom line is that these are two very strong women, both of whom have survived a male dominated business. Both of whom deserve to be in the RRHOF, and neither are, yet. |

Linda Ronstadt didn't write any of her songs to the best of my knowledge. I'd say Pat had a stronger hand in writing some of her biggest hits than Stevie had in hers'. Examples, SDMHA and "Talk To Me" weren't written by Stevie. Anyway, not sure if songwriting is one thing "The Hall" looks at when nominating and voting an artist in. |
Hopefully Pat will get in in the next few years, but only after Carly Simon and Carole King!

Stevie has definitely stayed relevant in a more balances way--she's also transcended other genres and art forms in a way Pat Benatar has not. I also think Stevie's eclectic song writing style gives her a bit of an edge (I understand we aren't talking about the songwriters HOF). But the fact these 4 women aren't in yet....jeez. Carly Simon and Carole King give me goosebumps in ways no other artists can. As an aside, The Billy Joel Station (I believe it was the FM station a few months back) did a show with Billy playing the songs of the songwriters--and he spoke so highly of Carole and Carly. It amazing to hear artists fan girl over each other.

Someone once said that it sounds like Linda's voice cries a little when she sings and I think that description nails it. She sang folk, pop, rock Broadway show tunes and fronted Nelson Riddle's orchestra. Her voice is the product of a god given talent like that of being struck by lightning. They both belong there but for different reasons. |
At the 0:40 mark of the We Belong video I thought she was clapping together two pieces of lettuce.
What about Cyndi Lauper? Maybe it's the look or the voice but she seems more "rock n roll" than Carole King or Pat Benatar, to me. (Obviously not intended to dismiss Carole King--who deserves something better than the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame anyway, such as the Gershwin Prize she's already pocketed.) |
What About Dave Stewart?
producer and co-writer
|
Quote:
I thought Stevie had some sort of falling out with Dave. Or have I got that wrong? Anyway, I don't think she'd see him as a big enough name to do the honours. He;s not really what you'd consider to be a big heavyweight within the rock world. |
Quote:
Cyndi Lauper is more ROCK than Pat Benatar?! Now that's funny! What do ya got Cyndi? Hit me with your best shot! |
It just happens in a split second so I had to attempt pausing the video quite a few times to confirm that it wasn't lettuce. (It was long green gloves by the way.)
|
Probably Jimmy Iovine. But if Tom Petty was still alive it would've been him.
|
Stevie is so full of it these days that I wouldn't be surprised if she inducts herself.
