...apparently there has never been more talk of anyone being inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame than Janet in 2014, a quiet, yet constant campaign to induct Janet into the R&R Hall of Fame has been brewing but very strong this year......any day now the committee will announce the 2015 nominees...

logically speaking, do you ever see Janet in the HOF ?

For years I've thought so. However, the further out of public view she falls the harder it becomes to imagine.

But this direct quote from their website is Janet Jackson personified:

One of the Foundation’s many functions is to recognize the contributions of those who have had a significant impact on the evolution, development and perpetuation of rock and roll by inducting them into the Hall of Fame.

I think at some point the HOF will have run out of artists to have either entered in or ignored....I mean let's think about it like this, at some point in music history Britney Spears, NSync and the Backstreet Boys were the big hype, think about it like where are the greats ? And who is great in music now that will be around in 20 years still great? I'm saying at some point the options are going to look like shit....now that may take 30 years but hey as long as they get around to Janet.

She'll be there once she releases a new album and on the 30th anniversary of Control.

I think it was said that was the sticking point, that Janet would be recognized at  the point Control reaches that mark.....I think the bigger thing here is maybe I could see Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis being inducted along with Janet......now I know the R&R HOF is crazy as bat shit if Jimmy and Terry aren't ever put in.

the LA Times has written an article sharply criticizing the Hall of Fame for the latest crop of nominees, however what is of note are the artists that the Hall has not inducted and guess whose name pops up? :whistle:  the article is highly critical of the 2015 list and explains why....KEEP HOPE ALIVE!!! :)
