So, as we were waiting for Ian Hunter to start playing tonight, I pulled up the list of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees on my phone and asked my boss Marty who he had seen live in concert. Once I had blasted through the list, I think he had seen 75% of the total list and 90% of those that weren't dead before he was going to shows.
I've seen Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Aerosmith, and half of Zeppelin. That is not 75%. But it made me wonder who I have seen that might be in Cleveland eventually. So, here are some of the future HOFer's...in my opinion:
Grand Funk Railroad
Brian Setzer
Pearl Jam
Foo Fighters
Stone Temple Pilots
Incubus
Smashing Pumpkins (I only saw Jimmy Chamberlain and Billy Corgan, but it counts!)
Dave Matthews Band
and the maybes:
Megadeth
Audioslave (Chris Cornell or Tom Morello have a shot with all their other bands/projects!)
Ben Folds
Jane's Addiction
Counting Crows
Live
Jack Johnson
Which only makes me want to see Weezer, Radiohead, Coldplay, Muse, John Mayer, NIN, GNR, and Green Day before it's too late, because I would imagine they are all going in eventually.
Anyway, the point is go to good shows, because you never know what amazing music you will get turned on to...I am now an Ian Hunter fan!!
Peace-
