It was a hell of a three seasons spaced out over six years, but it was just three seasons. He was one of the first rock and rollers to incorporate politics and social issues and he mostly did that during his solo career. Some great musicality But, say, Aerosmith is #3 ? Aretha Franklin (Level 5) -U2 However, my perception of The Pretenders has always been that they are similar in stature to Heart (which is accurately depicted in the Pyramid with both on Tier 1). target="_blank" title="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BmoY83GCEAAeR7h.jpg:medium[/img]">https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BmoY83GCEAAeR7h.jpg:medium[/img], Posted by FRL on Friday, 05/2/2014 @ 08:43am.

Jimmy Reed: 8/10 The Beach Boys 3. Simmons just completed his BOB 2.0 podcast, and during numerous episodes he will list the specific new Pyramid rankings of 5-10 guys in a row, but I'm curious if anyone has heard all the podcasts & has the new order written down? Is there anyone not in the Hall who could be a 4? One thing I will say about Young's music is that his attempt at electronica in the early 1980s was completely laughable and ill-advised.

Gladys Knight and the Pips 1996 1990 Charlie Christian From what I can gather, they were celebrated because they never quite made it, and because, as is wont to happen, their creative limitations were reinterpreted as a profound artistic statement. I'm tempted to group him with Dominique in Level 2, but Carmelo didn't run into Bird ever year. ABBA: 7/10 Roxy Music The ultimate example of a band that had lots of hits but did nothing to develop rock 'n roll (Jackson Browne, John Mellencamp, Buffalo Springfield, Percy Sledge, Laura Nyro, Donovan, The Lovin' Spoonful, George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, The Pretenders, Neil Diamond, and Randy Newman are all runners-up for the title of least qualified inductee) 172. The Sixth Man award almost always goes to the NBAs highest-scoring bench player. Most unworthy: Percy Sledge, the one hit wonder whose one hit wasn't all that wonderful. The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder (who was actually even DISCOVERED by one of The Miraclesthe late Ronnie White) and THE WHOSo. He's one of the best scorers ever. ABBA Tupac Shakur Ricky Nelson But I hope that someday Plastic People of the Universe will get in.

Everyone else in that lot is pretty clearly Level 1 to me. 2002 In addition, the Miracles have been regarded as the most covered act in Motown's roster and have influenced numerous artists worldwide in the last 50 years. how NBA Hall of Fame inductees should be chosen but how the institution must be reshaped from the ground up, the result being the Pyramid: Simmons's one-of-a-kind five-level shrine to the ninety-six greatest players in the history of pro "If You Can Want" The Dirtbombs, Barbara McNair, Chazz Dixon. There are many, many 2000s and '10s era bands that are more engaging. I would also move a few artists around like replacing Madonna with some other female singer like Liz Phair or Norah Jones, moving Elton John down a rank and putting Billy Joel there, moving Sam Cooke up a bit as well as Big Joe Turner and Fats Domino. The Doobie Brothers-Level 1 David Bowie: 10/10 Nicest: According to an Indianapolis limo driver who interviewed with the Indpls. (This is an incomplete list, as songs by the Miracles continue to be covered by more artists each year) "(You Can) Depend On Me" The Temptations, 178. Does anyone have the new Bill Simmons Pyramid from the Book Of Basketball 2.0? Bruce Springsteen: 10/10 110. Doobie Brothers-5 1994 Level Four: Brendan Fraser (we can't really have him above anyone else here) I like a lot of them. Their accolades are eerily similar, but I like Wade a little more. He's slightly ahead of Scottie because Wade took over the 2006 Finals and Scottie never really managed to be that guy - even in '94 when he finished 3rd in the MVP voting. Heart: 1 2000 12. Too many, though I'd probably say the Stones for starters. I'm just having too much fun discovering and acquiring music dating from the cylinder era up through the JFK administration. Your favorite inductees (You can pick at least 7) Pearl Jam If that was your point, it wasn't well made previously; but was overall well stated in this latest response. Madonna Clearly, you have not been listening to much indie music or Radiohead over the last twenty years.E, Posted by Casper on Tuesday, 04/2/2019 @ 15:24pm. Did they have transcendent songs and albums or memorable moments? Grandmaster Flash & Furious Five: 8/10 Personally, probably Jeff Beck. There is an interesting parallel to the pyramid--sometimes they agree, sometimes not so much. Were they the greatest team of all time? As much as I like SRV as a guitarist, his credentials as a performer (body of work) isn't up to many on the 2nd level. Dolly Parton: 9/10 It needs to have ELO, Joan Baez, Yes, Tupac Shakur, Journey, Pearl Jam, Bon Jovi, Dire Straits, Sister Rosetta Thorpe, The Cars, Nina Simone and Moody Blues. AC/DC: 9/10 A subreddit dedicated to NBA news and discussion. Level 4 I would say Aretha, Bowie, or Springsteen could be moved up to the top rung, Posted by Mike on Monday, 09/16/2019 @ 15:05pm. 20. It's fine, but it's more of a BS pod than a true sequel (I'm of the belief that Simmons sort of lost his passion when ESPN fired him for criticizing Goodell). It's fine. Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers Except on Neil Young, of course. There needs to be slightly more room in the 5 space, cause Bowie is 100% a 5. And yeah the Dead should have been a star on top of this pyramid, gazing down. Uh, yea. Bonnie Raitt Journey: 3/10 b) every metal band post-1983 is influenced by them.

Bowie is so upstream of many, many acts. NIN: 9/10 Chuck Berry Prince: 10/10 Blondie: 8/10 Demote. Favorite induction year? He was the 2nd best player on the Lakers teams from '08-'10, but didn't make the cut for the original Pyramid. "Would I Love You" - Len Barry.

Diana Ross seems to be a rather unpleasant lady based on her public outbursts. 42. ELO, Joan Baez, Yes, Tupac Shakur, Journey, Pearl Jam, Bon Jovi, Dire Straits, Sister Rosetta Thorpe, The Cars, Nina Simone, Moody Blues. 1993 Dinah Washington Depeche Mode: 8/10 Miles Davis: 9/10 Cheap Trick - 1 68. The Doors "Determination" The Contours. For an Early Influence, I would pick Cab Calloway or The Ravens. Radiohead belongs in 3, not 4. Now I'm remembering the time I went to the Country Hall of Fame and they had an exhibit on Ray Charles. 2022 Madonna: 10/10 "Can You Love a Poor Boy" Bobby Vee, Softones, Gil Bernal, Ronnie Walker. 6/10 = Decent Artists I don't think either of them have been as influential, but obviously that's my biggest criteria. And how the hell could OKC ever trade James Harden after Game 5? 55. Is Harden the NBAs best scorer since Michael Jordan? Most nicest inductee? "I Second That Emotion" Japan, Michael McDonald, Kiki Dee, The Manhattan Transfer, Jerry Garcia, Diana Ross & the Supremes with the Temptations, 10db, Tammy Wynette, Jos Feliciano, Emilie, Stuck In The Middle, Thelma Jones.
