Stevie's Post on Ukraine - Page 6

Dolly was good in Steel Magnolias as well.

I see that Dolly has also declined her RRHOF nomination as she feels "not worthy" for a rock n roll award.

Talk about a stark contrast with Dr Azoff's Monster.

Maybe Stevie still has a shot at a film career.
Any fans care to pen her a treatment on spec?

Suggested titles:

"9 P.M. to 5 A.M."

"Stevie Nicks' Coke of Many Colors"

Stevie needs to give Dolly one of her RRHOF trophies.Dolly may not be rock but Stevie should not have two of any music award and Dolly none.

Why would Stevie need to remove her nomination to the RRHOF? She actually made successful rock albums. The most rock things Dolly has ever done was a Bee Gees song with Kenny Rogers and a bluegrass cover of "Stairway to Heaven."

You must have missed out on hearing "Baby I'm Burning" and "Potenial New Boyfriend"

I've caught a lot of flack in Nashville this week. Because....Dolly ISN'T R&R, and therefore shouldn't be in the R&RHOF.

Let's put $tevie in the Jazz HOF(is there such a thing?) just because $he's a known name.

Stop bastardizing your genres.

Steve. You are so funny sometimes. I NEVER said Stevie should have removed her name from the RRHOF. Nowhere in this thread did I say that. The comparison was made between Stevie and Dolly which many pointed out there are few similarities except both are women singers. It was trending that day that Dolly being overly humble removed her name from consideration. I simply said that is another difference between them. Could you imagine Stevie removing herself if she was nominated with Pat Benatar and said she is too much competition and deserves to win? Probably not.
I don't know much about Dolly's career but I would imagine she has probably sold more records than Stevie. She even has a hugely successful amusement park which is something Stevie could never pull off. In any event, we all know Stevie only got into the RRHOF because Lindsey quit the band in 1987 which was the only reason Little Lies was a big hit.

Edit: I was curious so I did some research. Dolly has sold more than 100 million records worldwide. Stevie has sold 30 million. On this St Patrick's Day......Who's Your Paddy?

Dolly has had a few pop/rock hits besides Islands in the Stream. She also did 9 to 5, Baby I’m Burning, a cover of Great Balls of Fire, Two Doors Down, I Will Always Love You, and one of my personal favorites- Here You Come Again.

I agree Stevie had no reason to withdraw either one of her nominations. There are a ton of people I’m surprised have been inducted into the RRHOF, but I’m not going to say they didn’t earn the right just because I’m not a fan.

Madonna got in before "Stevie Nicks" so is Madonna the Queen of Rock? Madonna's first record was in 1983.

Exactly and Pat Benatar is still not included. Total joke of an organization.

How about Azoff getting both Eagles and FM in 1998?
Chrissie Hynde, I think, said it best that the Rock Hall was created by people who want to give each other trophies

See, the thing is, I love Dolly. I’m a fan. I look forward to seeing her on the Porter Wagoner show reruns on RFDTV. She’s written a lot of amazing songs and sang a lot of amazing songs. However, to say she’s ROCK is disingenuous. She apparently agrees.

I saw today where the HOF declined her declining. Apparently they're not taking no for an answer.
