    KISS is genuinely one of the worst bands to have ever put sound on wax, but I do genuinely not understand what the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are doing given the amount of foundational bands they never had in there. Silly gimmick they got going on over there.

    just talking at this point

    Didnt know this but makes perfect sense. Then why call it the rnr hall of fame in the first place? Marketing? It does sound cool tbh

    Rockism is the reason for it

    In the eyes of rockists; white men with guitars come first, everything else is not as important

    How can you say that and also acknowledge that non-white men without guitars have always been inducted since the halls founding? Seems contradictory

    Jann Wenner (Rolling Stone mag co-founder) is also one of the co-founders of the Rock&Roll HoF (RRHoF)

    He was removed from his position at the RRHoF in 2023, after some harmful comments he made during an interview about a book he was making.
    He said there were no women or black musicians who are intellectual or articulate enough to be considered masters of rock & roll. Then he said maybe I should've included one black musician & one women in my list just so that folks don't question me.

    Right, f*** that guy, but it seems like the other voters (?) didn’t agree

  • Didn't he trademark something mad common and innocuous?

  • KISS getting a thread on KTT in the big 2026, now I've seen it all

  • Couldn’t name a single song but I know he paints his face and sticks his tongue out. Great legacy to leave behind
