Congratulations Stevie!
Wish you the best Ms. Nicks - I hope Todd Rundgren finally gets in!
I would be surprised if Stevie does make it on her first nomination, especially since she is already a member with Fleetwood Mac. Good luck Stevie and Todd! |
The conspiracy theorist in me questions the timing of Stevie's nomination. She's been eligible for over a decade now, yet this is her first time getting nominated. And everyone has no doubt read that the nomination process is a bit "suspect," shall we say? In the back of my mind, I can't help but think that maybe Stevie somehow pushed for this as one more "thumb to the eye" of LB. Surely I'm not the only one who thought of this when her name was revealed this morning...?

Can this just be about Stevie? There are enough threads on this forum for the LB crybabies to whine.

Feather Blade, you are so welcome! I see Stevie is in the lead for right now. I love Def Leppard too! They always put on a great show.

Congratulations to Stevie, this is well deserved!
I'll be voting daily, of course. |
When I look at these nominees, I am reminded just how stupid and political the nomination process can be. Rage Against the Machine versus Stevie Nicks or The Zombies versus Stevie Nicks. Come on, Stevie has been a rocker since the late 60s , early 70s with tons more production, songwriting and hits. There's no comparison to RAM.
As to those who want to bring LB into this. I do NOT see Lindzers nominated individually for the RRHOF , although he certainly belongs in the Guitarist Hall of Fame for his most excellent skills. |
Yes!!! It's about time!

I'm not saying Stevie isn't deserving, but the timing is certainly coincidental! ;) |

Why Stevie Nicks' Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination is historic
By Troy L. Smith, Cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio - Stevie Nicks could become the first woman to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice - once with her band and now, potentially, as a solo artist. Nicks joins 14 other artists on this year's ballot. Her induction would be a huge step forward for an institution that has received (and certainly earned) criticism for its lack of female inductees. Twenty-two men have been inducted into the Rock Hall twice. That list includes all four members of the Beatles, Neil Young, Eric Clapton (He's in their three times), Lou Reed and Rod Stewart. Nicks is the first woman to even get the chance, having been inducted already with Fleetwood Mac in 1998. Cases have been made over the years for artists like Tina Turner, Diana Ross and Janis Joplin (with Big Brother and the Holding Company). But nothing has come of it. Nicks' nomination shouldn't come as a surprise to fans. She has been in the lead of the museum's new "Voice Your Choice" in-person fan vote since it launched in April. The Rock Hall induction process has been full of such "coincidences" for years now. Consider that every winner of the annual Fan Vote (which only gets you on a fan ballot that's added to the voting pool) has wound up earning induction that same year. However, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation president Joel Peresman insists the fan votes and the nomination process aren't directly related. "The new in-museum voting system does not factor into the nomination process as the members of the nominating committee aren't made aware of that," says Peresman. "And we rely on their independent thinking, which in this case happened to match up." Whether you believe Peresman or not, Nicks' nomination remains historic. And fans can still have their say with the annual Fan Vote online. The museum will also use its "Voice Your Choice" system, which Nicks already dominated, to add to the Fan Vote. The Rock Hall's Class of 2019 is expected to be announced in December. The honorees will be inducted next April during a ceremony held in New York City. https://www.cleveland.com/entertainm..._roll_hal.html |
She's trending at #1 right now on Yahoo. Must be getting a lot of buzz.

Dunno if this comes off as attacking but... you do realize that she's a real-life human being right? She's got her fair list of flaws but I can't imagine an actual human going to such lengths while in their 70s for a very abstract way of "sticking it" to someone else. Maybe a cartoon villain in a children's show? And on that subject how does her nomination have ANYTHING to do with "sticking a thumb to his eye"? Would the goal be "HAH, I've ousted you from this band and now I will enter the R&RHOF! For my.... solo work." Which Lindsey has nothing to do with. A better way to show him up would be to somehow have the current lineup of Fleetwood Mac be considered the best, which will never happen despite their successes. Is it because Lindsey feels he is deserving of that nomination? Has he ever expressed that? I don't even know how he could expect that. I love bits from his solo work but you have to admit that he didn't exactly set the charts/radio/public consciousness on fire. Trouble is the only significant hit. Everything else has a VERY high barrier to entry. This is not to say it isn't all quality, but if his body of work hasn't been able to make a big impact on people (i.e. being recognized as some of the greatest guitar playing ever or becoming a symbol of the cultural period) than how can it be considered appropriate for the R&RHOF? Stevie, almost objectively, is an icon of rock. She has the label "Queen of Rock" attached to her, it honestly surprising she hasn't been chosen yet. Sorry if this feels like I'm crapping over your theory, it just perplexed me on so many levels. An idea a little more grounded for the timing would be that Fleetwood Mac has been in the news more over the past couple years. Songs have been used in hit movies, several successful tours, drama making some headlines, etc. and THAT is why she was suddenly relevant for consideration. |

Congrats to Stevie! I hope she gets in on her first year being nominated. It is well deserved for all of her hard work and great artistry!

I wonder what “New” music will be released?

There always seems to be a new release around the RARHOF announcement. The new Mac greatest hits doesn’t count. I’m sure there will be some kind of new Stevie Nicks release. |

I've never been shy about the fact that I honestly don't think solo Stevie really deserves to be inducted, and I've ALWAYS felt that way. Even when I was most obsessed with her and would argue with anyone who criticized her, I just don't think her solo music is really worthy of an induction. I think the reason people think she deserves a solo spot is just because of her whole image-- her entity as 'Stevie Nicks' the witchy pop rock girl. |

That said, she's had a HUGE influence on so many women performers that she certainly meets the criteria of inclusion better than plenty of other inductees. |
I bet Stevie had heard she would be nominated and planned to get Lindsey ousted as an extra stab in the back. Yes I think she's that much of a POS these days.

For what it is worth she is a well selling artist who has made a solid solo career for herself, even through her highs and lows. The nomination is well deserved for her efforts.
You guys need to seriously stop with this anti-Stevie bashing and rhetoric. We have heard the opinions and you choose to continue to be bitter towards her. I have never seen a group of individuals on a forum so nasty and vile towards an artist who literally owes you nothing just because you paid for music and concerts over the years. That is your problem. You chose to buy the music. You chose to see her in concert. To think that she owes you something is just an inflammation of your own ego and self entitlement. Whatever her reasons or motives of decisions made in her life, we should be grateful for what she has given us over the years. And I am sure this post will get some snarky response and all I got to say to that is, oh well. |

I do think that someone on the Mac team probably pushed for it. My initial "thumb to the eye" of LB may not have been much of a factor, though - but your theory about restoring luster to Nicks' image and generating positive pub as their tour gets underway is solid. The whole induction process has become a joke, so I'm going to question why *every* nominee is selected, whether I personally think they're deserving or not. |

I'm voting for Roxy Music in the poll. They are the most deserving with Radiohead a close second.
