I still want Stevie to get in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, so I posted a video.

Well, there are different measures of success. If you are looking at total sales then- yes, Stevie has probably sold more records. I'm looking at the number of single hits and the sheer volume of album releases. Its true to say Ringo hasn't written the majority of the songs on his album releases, but in terms of his hit singles- Yes! Ringo wrote most of them.

...and he voiced Thomas the Tank Engine... poop-poop.

I forgot he is real name is Starkey. However, he sucks donkey dicks. End of story. She is more important than he is, especially to women. The fact you are even arguing over this is ridiculous. She has grew in popularity unlike 99% of classic rock artists.

He's the pooh, so take a whiff...

He can play an instrument. Don't you know he was the fourth best drummer in The Beatles? That's a fine achievement.
He sucks donkey dicks??? Hmmm, lovely

Why is tearing down Ringo essential to Stevie's campaign to get in the RORHF? Maybe concentrate on why Def Leppard seems to be more popular than her?

Musical taste is completely subjective, but I don't think you can say Stevie's solo career is any better than his. He had just as many hits, which are still played on the radio, and at least he didn't fall into the eighties overproduction like Stevie. Her work in FM was better, as even she seems to acknowledge, by doing newer versions of those songs.

He wasn't really part of the 80s, and I'll take her hits over his any day. The only song I really like of his is It Don't Come Easy.

The point of him in the video is that he is in the rock and roll twice, so she should she be. There are people who are saying she should not get in twice.Her solo career is just as strong as his. She sold a lot more albums. My point is if he is in twice, so should she. Joe Walsh is in twice. There are many men in twice. She would be the first woman.She is getting a lot of criticism for even being nominated. It's complete bull****.

Stevie's real achievement is having a very successful solo career, while she was in Fleetwood Mac for almost 40 years.

Ringo isn't inducted as a solo artist per-se.
He was inducted as a special award for those people who impacted on the careers of others. Its not a direct comparison.

PS- the whole thing is a big joke anyway and shouldn't really be as important as it is.

She is not going to get inducted for various reasons. There is too much against her. I thought I would put a fight for her, even though I can barely stand her right now.

Apologies for not pm'ing you- but how is your brother???

If commercial success in the eighties is the reason for induction then Def Leppard crushes Stevie. If we are going on artistic merits and consistency through their careers then it is Roxy and Radiohead at the top of the list IMO.

Def Leppard is going to inducted. They are the only shoe in. I agree with Roxy and Radiohead, but I'm not sure that is going to matter.

[Jondalar]

Def Leppard has many people campaining for them. They have jump ahead of Stevie by about 9,000 votes. She really needs your votes.

Here are the top 5.

155,867 = Def Leppard
147,751 = Stevie Nicks
95,472 = The Cure
80,523 = Todd Rundgren
72,726 = The Zombies

I think that's debatable.

I love Ringo. And I didn't know that last little factoid you mentioned.
