Madonna gets into Hall before Beasties

[EarlsJims]

Something's not right there.

I'll be really pissed if Menudo gets in first.

[acamus]

Whoa, horsey. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Beastie fanatic, but if someone's got to be first (I would have loved to seen them both inducted in the same year) it most certainly should be Queen Madonna! You GOTS to be kidding me. I'm gonna get stupid and say, if anyone has changed global culture for the better it's been the Beasties, but Madonna trumps them hands down. Period! All hail (and then add something to her efforts on your own) THE FUCKING QUEEN-GODDESS OF THE UNIVERSE - Madonna! We (said like something outta a Russian dystopia) love you sweetheart! (Don't listen to fools like this, they know not what they say.)

Madonna was a house hold name in 1984. she was the hottest thing around. The beasties came a couple of years later. its only natural that Madonna is first. give it a couple of more years and Im sure the beasties will be in. then ll cool j.

Not only a house hold name in the mid eighties, but the darling of academic studies in the 90s. What she's done for music, film, art, the Beasties and most importantly girls and women cannot be underestimated.

[pm0ney]

Yeah, she just takes the whole celebrity shit to another level. Theres like, the A-List and then theres Madonna.

[TAFKASB]

Gotta say, she aint my bag, but credit to the old girl! (y)

[bigblu89]

It's also a RnR HOF requirement that you first Major Studio Album has to be at least 25 years old to get in, so the Beasties would have to wait 'till 2011.

[BeastieRunner]

No, neither should be. Hip-hop and pop do not belong in the ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME.

then in 15 years, no one will get in because "rock n roll" isnt really a genre anymore.

Don't forget she also had a mega bush. She grew it high and wide. I think that deserves mention here.

Yeah, they should've been smart and just called it the Musical Recordings Hall of Fame.

So 30 years from now when people Like Justin Timberlake and Christina Aggylera are in it, us old fogies aren't complaining baout how RnR has been dead for 40 years.

Madonna rightfully deserved to be in it. But it isn't a RNRHOF anymore nor has it been for a while. When I walked into the HOF building in Ohio 10 years ago, they had current Hip Hop displays (Missy Eliot's trash bag for example). I was disgusted. But anyway...

Beastie Boys should have been the SECOND Hip Hop act induucted behind ONLY Run DMC.. Grandmaster Flash is in it.. but for what? What he did on the tables? I could do that shit in 1982 also and I was just 10.. so bleh! It isn't because of "The Message" because... he didn't have anything to do with it besides his name being on the record.. but anyway...

Madonna deserves all the prasie she gets, she has been at it consecutively for 25+ years with no break.. nobody else has done it like that but her.

[KENNY GUIDO]

grandmaster flash represents old school scratching to the fullest. you cant leave him out. His idea of scratching was to include old rock records thus putting in the rnr hof was fitting.

[abbott]

I guess I heard modana while I was in the 5th grade.. the Beastie Boys Came in the 7th.. but this is fucking bull shit anway.

What about mixed genres?

The Beasties, Run-DMC, and Beck are a mix of hip hop, pop, and rock.

They don't belong in the hall?

Beasties should just get their own museum.(y)

There should be a lot of space open at the Bush Presidential Library.
