Have to be quick here. Nominations came out today. I am sad to say that the Cure are not on the list. Now the (sad)punch line: Depechey Modey is. They must've given out personal cheese whizzes. Their cover of "Heroes" should make them ineligible until hell freezes over. Just my humble opinion. Of course, some of you will disagree.

Yeah. If you look at some of the cr@p that's got in over the years (rhcp, the b words, kiss, beastie boys...) it doesn't surprise me.
The whole nomination process is a joke. Conducted by people who aren't even musicians & most of the nominees just seem to be named to sell more tickets for the gala dinner.
As Maureen Tucker once described it, "The Hall Of Lame". Although I do prefer the Pistols' reference (p!ss stain).
I think if The Cure were inducted, Robert would tell them to get bent.

don't know if i've said here before but seems like every band that stood in line to buy drugs in CBGBs totally disgusting bathroom has gotten in. is very new york-centric. lots of good stuff has been ignored, often criminally just because they were from la or london or other. i call it cultural imperialism. its like the new york yankees (sorry Pipperoo ) are bad for baseball. money rules all there. looks like the early voting has bon jovi dominating. nyc again. i can't think of a song by them that i would listen to if i decided. bland generic crap. they had nice hair though.

Bin Jelly only got nominated because the committee has been repeatedly slagged off for not including them.
No-one knows what the actual criteria are for being nominated, although 90% of the time, possessing a penis appears to be one way.

This was my understanding. Although he obviously has respect for musical talent, I feel he would decline an invitation to be a nominee (assuming they get a choice) on the basis of some of the views he has expressed at various times.

On the other hand, they were inducted into that Rockwalk thing. I don't really know what all this stuff is about or the reason behind them.

Who knows, maybe they'll be inducted in 2018...

For it's better to forget...

I have a great disdain for the RHOF. Not just because Kiss (and other sh&t bands) are in it and The Cure are not, but also because What does it really mean? It doesn't mean anything. A not so famous band could write one song that changes how the world thinks and still not be considered. I think the criteria is ridiculous and like all other award shows it's a popularity contest. It will be interesting to see what Depeche Mode does if they get in. I'll be waiting for that speech.

Even if The Cure was ever nominated, I’m sure there’d be problems with the band members included in that nomination. Unless the committee included all the current members, I don’t think they’d consider accepting. Robert is the only one who gets to decide who’s in The Cure.

The whole process is very flawed !
