    OT: 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees

    Reggaeton is related to reggae. I only know bc I researched this a while ago due to my own confusion, and the fact that I'm not really a reggaeton fan and was wondering why it'd so prevalent. Listen to Dem Bow by Shabba Ranks...

    OT: 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees

    What do we disagree on though other than general music taste? If there was a genre specific rock HOF without that nuance we are talking about, I'd completely agree. My working knowledge of the catalog of Sade and similar acts is probably similar to your working knowledge of the bands mentioned...

    OT: 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees

    Very good post. Just for clarification - I don't think that rock music is necessarily broad enough to encompass many of these acts, but I do think the term "rock n roll" as more of the cultural phenomenon that Billy Joel was alluding to in his song, is the direction/umbrella the hall is...

    Thats a subjective opinion regarding entry though, not an objective categorical hurdle to being nominated.

    OT: 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees

    Because it's not really a genre. It's just "rock n roll." It's all rock n roll, in the sense of the inception of innovative musical trends and era-defining popular music that pushed boundaries, had cultural significance, and redefined what popular music was. Superstar musical staying power for...

    OT: 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees

    Every year this comes out, and every year I'm amazed that Boomers and Gen X dudes still don't get the meaning of the Billy Joel song. . .

    OT: Alysa Liu Skating Gold - Cure For Sports World Ills

    Yes. I'd read about that but hadn't seen it. Really interesting journey and story to here. It's incredible how effortless it looks and how happy she is.

    OT: USA Men's Hockey Wins the Gold

    Jack Hughes was clutch there, but Hellebuyck was the true star/hero. Such an awesome game to witness.

    OT: Weekend snowstorm - historic blizzzard

    If anyone ever gets insecure about their lot in life, all they'd need to do is scroll around this forum and get a laugh at the creep little trolls with their high post counts and lack of better things to do...

    Guess the Defensive Coordinator

    Some talk he could join Hafley in Miami. NFL guys also don't seem as interested in college these days, with how ridiculous it's all gotten. Lukabu is always a name we hear, yet never seems to materialize.

    Guess the Defensive Coordinator

    The rumors about coaches not wanting to work for him are true. Not like a straight up blacklist or anything, but it's known as a tough job with not a ton of payoff (other than money), more specifically on the defensive side. Idk if Joe H had his own level of self-respect or competence that kept...
