Basically the title, I'm curious who will end up being the presenters for each of these artists. Any predictions?
Here's a fife at the end of "She's Waiting" by Eric Clapton.
Edit: (Is this a fife or am I being fooled by a synthetic keyboard?)
And a didgeridoo (Australian aboriginal two-tone wooden tube) in "Don't Tell Me" by Madonna.
A celesta in "Everyday" by Buddy Holly.
Core instruments in rock and roll are guitars, piano/keyboard, drum kits, horns (sax especially), and upright bass.
Common instruments are strings (violin/viola/cello/bass combo), harmonica, Latin percussion, banjo and mandolin, maybe a couple others I'm not thinking about right now.
What instruments are uncommon to the point of rare or even strange?
I do think that if the Rock Hall wants representation of younger-generation blue-collar/conservative listeners (alternative/indie culture represents more middle-class people), they need to push modern country instead of rock revivalists, like Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, The Chicks...
A lot of younger traditionalists who would have been heartland rock listeners or arena rock listeners if they were 10–20 years younger are actually country music listeners.
I have seen some quotes saying that some traditionalists think indie music ruined the relevance of rock because it made rock become more shaped by middle-class tastes and swayed it away from its essence of representing ordinary people, so they think indie music is a bad thing. I won't totally agree with that
But yes, I think younger traditionalists need some representation in the Rock Hall. There are still a lot of younger traditionalists who mainly listen to more conservative types of music rather than, for example, alternative or indie. So actually, country has become the new heartland rock and classic rock for a new generation, appealing to a similar audience but at a younger age.
So yes, I think modern country artists like Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, and The Chicks need to be in the Rock Hall to represent these traditionalists, and they are better representations of younger traditionalists than classic rock revivalists like The Black Crowes or Melissa Etheridge, considering their sales and lasting influence on that group of people.
Entre Bowie, Bob Dylan y Prince a quien prefieren? Cuál es el mejor artista de los tres y cómo los ordenarían de peor (o menos mejor) a mejor?
Y además, qué artista creen que se puede sentar en esa mesa?
New member here. On member FAQ at https://rockhall.com/membership-faq/ it says ”no advanced admission ticket is required” for members, which to me means I can just show up at any time without any reservation, flash my digital id, and walk straight In.
I had the following email exchange with membership dept that confirms this:
me:
>can you please confirm, if two unrelated members show up at 11am on a busy day, there will be zero difference in their experience getting into the museum, even though member #1 has done nothing in advance, and member #2 has “secured their ticket” by logging onto your ticketing site and ordering a free ticket for 11am
membership dept response:
>Correct.
So my question is, why does the ticketing site have an option for free member tickets which requires specific dates and times to be selected, if those tickets are 100% unnecessary ? Is it so you can print it out as a souvenir of your visit ?
