Petition to induct Lynyrd Skynyrd into Rock & Roll Hall

[whyskygyrl]

I found this petition started by Charlie Daniels to get Lynyrd Skynyrd inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I know there have been several other petitions in the past, maybe if they can get enough signatures on this one it will finally get them inducted into the Hall where they belong.
You can read and sign the petition at this link:

Here are some good articles on the band and inducting them into the Hall of Fame:

Which members would be getting into the hall of fame? All of them or just the originals?

Which members would be getting into the hall of fame? All of them or just the originals?
I am just guessing here, but I would say all members, past and present.

Thank's All :cool:

I am not a big fan of Skynyrd. They are ok, but not great in my opinion. I don't care if they are in the hall of fame or not.

For you Southern Rock fans, I found a great online music station. "Pure Southern Rock Streamed To Your PC", all southern rock 24/7/365. Check it out:

The petition count is edging up towards 6,000. :)

Skynyrd is alright, but HIGHLY overrated.

[Trower Of de]

Skynyrd is alright, but HIGHLY overrated.
I dont think so :wtf: considering they are one of the best bands live ive ever seen live. Simple man, Sweet home alabama, Whats your name, Tuesday's gone,Things goin on, The Ballad of Curtis Leow, Gimme three steps etc... All great classic songs...

[whyskygyrl]

Searching, That Smell, On The Hunt, Whiskey Rock-A-Roller, I Know A Little, Saturday Night Special, I Ain't The One, etc... etc.... :bow: :bow:


That is just from the older stuff, original band.. I like the newer material also.

[skiier4384]

They should definitely be in the r&r hall of fame.

[whyskygyrl]

The signature count today topped 7,000. :D :D Maybe my dream of seeing 10,000 signatures isn't so unrealistic... Thanks to anyone that signed and if there are any other Skynyrd fans out there that haven't signed yet, please do.

[ClassicDisaster]

I signed it. I like Skynyrd

[Isolation]

Skynyrd blow.

[biscuit]

Skynyrd blow.

Thanks for your amazing input.

I signed. I assumed they were in already..

[k_tull88]

I just signed. I just recently really got into Skynyrd. I've always liked them, but I love them now.

[rryyyaannn]

you're kidding right skynard is in no way shape or form hall of fame material

but i guess alot of bands in there arent either

[Just Spurplin]

You know online petitions mean absolutley nothing. There is no way to prove each person is only making one post or anything like that. You could have 2 million posts, nothing will happen.

:bang:
I loved them in the 70's and still love them today :bow:

Just wanted to bump this up in case any Skynyrd fans have not seen it. Hopefully we will see Skynyrd inducted in the Rock & Roll HOF before we ever see a rap artitst inducted in. ;)

2006 Rock Hall nominees announced
Friday, September 16, 2005

Miles Davis could be headed into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, even if rock 'n' roll wasn't his claim to fame.

The late jazz legend has been nominated for induction into the Rock Hall next year, along with singer-songwriter Cat Stevens, new-wave group Blondie, British Invasion faves the Dave Clark Five and a dozen other far-flung performers.

Besides those aforementioned artists, other first-time nominees on the latest Rock Hall ballot include the Sir Douglas Quintet and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band.

Black Sabbath, the quintessential heavy-metal group led by Ozzy Osbourne, received its eighth nomination.

Also in the running again after being snubbed in the past are John Mellencamp, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the J. Geils Band, the Stooges, the Patti Smith Group, the Sex Pistols, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Chic and Joe Tex.

"It's probably the most eclectic list we've ever had," says Terry Stewart, president and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. He also sits on the hall's nominating committee.

The 2006 induction ceremony will be held in New York City, Stewart says. Details have not been announced.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, based in New York, oversees the induction process. Artists are eligible 25 years after the release of their first recording.

Nominees are chosen by a committee of record company executives, music historians and journalists. Ballots are mailed to an international pool of 750 voters, including previous inductees and other members of the music industry.

The five to seven nominees who receive the most votes are inducted. Finalists typically are announced in November or December.
