Have we thought about who we want to present Stevie's induction?

Sheryl Crow
Mike Campbell
Lady Antebellum
Haim
Chrissie Hynde
Billy Corgan
Courtney Love (is she still alive?)
Ryan Murphy
Dave Stewart
Adam Levine
Lindsey Buckingham

Your last suggestion nearly made me fall off the couch :laugh::laugh::laugh: Funniest thing I've seen in a while! But the rest of your list sounds really plausible, especially Adam Levine, Courtney Love, and Billy Corgan. Maybe Harry Styles is another possibility?

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?!

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.

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!

Harry Styles, too.

Henley would make an incredible speech. It would be cool if she and Dave did that Hendrix flavored version of GDW they did for the Sound City mini tour. I think she will only do solo hits for her performance which would be a great reason to see it live. I would watch Jessica Lange in just about anything but I think she and Ryan Murphy are relatively new acquaintances.

Storms123

10-23-2018, 08:27 PM

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.

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.

I think she will, and they will. Geesh Carole King isn't in yet?!! I love Carly Simon too! Seems like R&R is still giving women the back seat. I brought up Pat because she and Stevie are so similar in when they attained great success as solo Rock women. Here's another good clip of Pat on Oprah with Avril Lavigne. Stevie and Joan Jett are mentioned at the end of the segment. Pat and Avril do "Love Is A Battlefield" together. Excellent!

Amen to Carly Simon. She is my all time favorite female singer. Great albums, lyrics and vocal range.

Storms123

10-30-2018, 07:52 PM

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.

I don't know. Pat was certainly a wonderfully trained singer in the classic sense. She even wrote some of her songs.
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.)

I'm assuming you were under the influence, or just making a lame attempt at being funny, but I'd say she wasn't clapping two pieces of lettuce together, without even re-watching the video. :laugh:

Cyndi Lauper is more ROCK than Pat Benatar?! Now that's funny!

I just realized--it only figures that Stevie and her management have been engineering a HOF induction. Stevie loves HALLS.

I float through the halls of the hospitals

There was no one left standing
In the hall

Well, I went searching for an answer
Up the stairs...and down the hall

So she walks slowly down the hall

The artist's management would definitely be orchestrating it all behind the scenes.
Because it plays into brand image etc.

The artist's management would definitely be orchestrating it all behind the scenes.
Because it plays into brand image etc.
Much as I've always liked Sheryl Crow, I thought she was kind of a lightweight in 1998 when she inducted Fleetwood (she grew in musical stature later with The Globe Sessions). Everything she said was really vapid; do you remember her talking about the trendy shag haircut? And she didn't mention the great blues-rock years of the band at all.

Then again, the Eagles were inducted that same year by Jimmy Buffett, so let's be thankful for small favors.

I'd have been thrilled in 1998 if REM had done the honors, or Smashing Pumpkins or Courtney Love or Jane's Addiction or the Verve or Tonic or Ben Folds Five. But Sheryl in 1998 was more like the Dave Matthews Band—hitmakers but very adult-contemporary, which just reinforced Fleetwood Mac's innate blandness. Even Matchbox 20 would have been a little more exciting than Sheryl in 1998. The Foo Fighters wouldn't have done it in 1998—they probably hated Mac the way the Heartbreakers hated Mac in 1977, before realizing (uh, d'uh) that it was a great band.

Speaking of all these big music stars in 1998, has anyone played their copy of the Rumours tribute from 1998 in the last dozen years or so? See how bad musical choices become camp? That's why you have to listen to critics and people with judgment instead of to Mick Fleetwood. Jon Pareles (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/19/arts/music/prince-piano-a-microphone-1983-review.html?rref=collection%2Fbyline%2Fjon-pareles&action=click&contentCollection=undefined&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=7&pgtype=collection) would never have given the green light to such a pukey album.

Now that Stevie is definitely going to be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I thought this thread should be bumped.

How does it work? Does the person who announces her nomination perform also? How many different people usually perform for the artist? Is Jimmy Iovine famous enough to announce her induction, or is it always a celebrity/musician?

cbBen

12-15-2018, 06:55 PM

Others play the artist's material only if the artist himself does not perform. So Stevie may invite a guest to play with her, but she will be the main performer. It won't be a tribute to her as in the case, say, of Linda Ronstadt, who did not perform herself.

As Stevie said, she'll perform one to three songs. That's standard.

People, it will be Jimmy Iovine.

He's one of the heaviest hitters there is. That matters to her. A lot.

He was THE person she thanked onstage when she learned she'd won. She said, in her words, that HE was responsible for her solo career. That she owed it all to him. She has in fact said this before.

:sorry:

Ok! It's fun to speculate.

I do think the young generation matters a LOT to her, too. Therefore the youngsters like HAIM and Harry Styles are her ticket to remaining relevant to the millennials. And that really matters to her, too. Even Adam Levine falls a bit into that category even though he's a bit older/established... her spot with him on The Voice a few years ago provided her with multiple nights of primetime tv airtime for a whole new chunk of youngsters. She enjoys being the rock icon these young people like to idolize.

(I'd go so far as to say that without the same next generation of supporters/fans/musicians sharing their limelights with her, she doesn't win this award. She hasn't won it purely on solo musical merits, even though she's released many albums and had decent hits... why aren't Tina Turner and Carole King in as performers, if that's the case? These youngsters have been critical to her remaining in the public eye and relevant and she knows it.)

Yes, Adam Levine is a great possibility. He had her as his "guest coach" or whatever they call it on The Voice a few years ago. He or HAIM seem like the best bets unless they go old school like Don Henley.

By the way, not that this has anything to do with Stevie, but here's the writeup on the Steve Miller / Black Keys fiasco a few years ago. What a grump!

Sure, I have no problem with him having complaints.... but he should not have made The Black Keys feel like crap for being there to induct him. Unacceptable, rude, self centered... all the grumpy things I’d heard about him through the years, actually validated. I always liked his music but it’s hard to listen to it since this... kind of like FM since April.

Respectfully, then if Steve Miller didn't want the honor, he shouldn't have paid for it LOL. But really, that guy from the Black Keys made a great point- how ironic that Miller called the HoF out for being a "boy's club" when he's had over 30 different men play in his band, and not one woman. And even if Miller had a valid complaint, why be so disrespectful to the Black Keys, who only wanted to honor him?

I'm not condoning his treatment of the Black Keys, or even defending anything he said or did; only making the narrow point that I concur with his financial complaint about the Hall (not how he expressed it, not his gender bias allegation, and not his complaints about anyone or anything else).

Agreed, and I think she should keep FM away from this completely. Mick of course will not tolerate that. But this is about HER not FM

It won't be LB. He'd never go up on stage to give Stevie an award he doesn't stand a chance at winning himself. His ego is far too big and fragile.

I honestly wonder though, if he swallowed his pride and performed a gesture like this, would Stevie be moved and forgive him/invite him to rejoin the band? A girl can dream!:shrug:

Doubtful. He's been trying to play nice with her for years now, public proclamations via songs, interviews etc..... no avail. Sh&t's too deep by now.

This is disappointing. I know he’s her “love child” but could have been a bit more rooted in her history as a solo artist.

Dave Grohl, folks. You heard it here first.

I'm very surprised it's Harry. I get that it's the "cool" option. Many people will probably tune in just to see him, but I figured she would choose someone from her past. I really thought it would be Jimmy Iovine.

I'm really surprised she didn't ask Vanessa Carlton? They have been friends for years, musically and personally. Definitely a weird choice.

if the whole thing is she's the first woman to get in twice, why not have one of the many, many women whom she's influenced be the speaker??

Or someone who's known her for more than five minutes?

Or someone who has some credibility in the music community?

this is just trashy. And yet so typical of who she's become-- chasing elusive youth,

I was listening to Mark Goodman on XM Radio this morning, and he was talking about Def Leppard being inducted. He said that the artist does not select who inducts them. I'd be curious to know how it all works.

I highly doubt that. The whole RRHOF is so political and influenced by managers etc. Or the RRHOF people know nothing about her, and just did a super quick Google search and he came up in one of the most recent clips of her in the news.

Stevie is soo smart. It’s the youth that make you relevant and remembered. When she sang with Harry it was all over Twitter. The night of the induction, Stevie will be all over Twitter because of Harry Styles. She is trying to remain relevant and capture the youth. Very smart but it’s also demeaning.

She'll pick whoever the flavor of the month is. She loves to attach herself to what's hot. Vom.

Annnnnd...we have a winner. Sigh. So much for "The Year of the Woman." What happened to the gracious, cool person many of us admired for most of our lives?

Maybe it's the artist and the RRHOF working together to find someone. The RRHOF wants to attract attention, and Harry does that. And it seems like they often use newer and younger artists to induct because it helps demonstrate the inductee's influence on subsequent generations, which is one of the criteria for induction. He wouldn't have been my first choice, but I can see where he checks a lot of the boxes.

Either way it's totally tone deaf.

No female hipsters? Really? Miley loves her, Haim, Taylor, etc.

And TONS of women who were inspired to go into music because of her-- Sheryl, Florence, Vanessa, Courtney, blah blah blah.

It's a sad yet appropriate summation of who she has become.

She is a huge influence to women. I think they should of used women/girls instead of someone from a boy band. It doesn’t seem right.

I'm actually more concerned about what her vocals are going to sound like live on TV. Did anyone catch "Stand Back" from Hyde Park that was on TV? It was really bad, vocally. Visually, she was awesome, very energetic.

I just hope she chooses the right songs. I think the "Wild Heart/Bella Donna" medley would be a perfect reflection of her solo career and a good choice for her voice. Then, a bigger hit. I would assume Edge of Seventeen?
