CR  "Guns 'n Roses - No way! Shit band with 15 minutes of fame and a
true
Asshole up front.

Lee  Likely not.  Too short a stint.  Too shallow the body of work.


CR  Chili Peppers, Beasties, Don Kirshner, Freddie King, Glyn Johns -
Absolutely! (Nice call on the Beasties!)

Lee  Agree with all but The Chili Peppers.  Never really dug 'em.


CR  Laura Nyro? - Really....don't see it.

Lee  Absolutely.  LOADS of great songs.  She was a terrific writer/
composer.  Still is...I'm guessin'.


CR  Faces (small or otherwise) - really meant nothing in the US. Was
kind of a
"Green room" for future acts with Rod, Ronnie, Kenney Jones (Who),
Steve
Marriott, Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols) and Jimmy McCollouch (Wings). I
don't
see it...

Lee.  I do...at least with the Faces.  The Small Faces had a couple of
really decent hits in Canada but their body of work here is
small...like the name.  Maybe it's recognition for larger successes in
the UK?


CR  Donovan - No way...weak act if you ask me

Lee  100% yes.  Lots of hits.  Lots of sounds.  VERY deserving.


CR  Tom Dowd and Cosmo Whatshisface- eh...who cares...

Lee.  No way.


CR  Passed over - Joan Jett, Heart, Donna Summer, Rufus, War, The
Spinners and
Eric B. and Rakim

Lee.  War?  Yes.  The rest?  Maybe the Spinners...but.........


CR  I'd put Donna Summer and Heart in before Laura Nyro and I think
War
deserves a place there if guys like GNR can get in.

Lee.  Heart?  Absolutely before almost all of the rest.

I DO NOT believe that R&B, or Hip Hop/Rap artists should be inducted
into the ROCK 'n' ROLL hall of fame.  They are just NOT Rock 'n'
Roll.  They should have a separate hall.  Rock flaboured Pop?  OK.
Sappy pop and Dance music...disco...whatever?  NO WAY!!!
