The authors of the site contemporary culture Vulture made their own ranking of artists included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The compilers of the list arranged all 214 performers and musicians in the order "From best to worst" and tried to explain own solutions. The list is very subjective.
So, for the last, 214th place, the authors recently placed in the Hall of Fame Bonjovi, noting that in the entire history the group has not written a single hit, and in general is engaged in posing as a rock band. Apparently, the compilers of the rating live in a parallel universe in which the songs "Livin' On a Prayer", "You Give Love A Bad Name" and "It's My Life" do not exist.
Right in front of Bon Jovi settled down queen, which the authors considered "the most overrated band in the history of music". Vulture claims that the group's fame in the US was fleeting, and all of its modern advances and legendary status - the merit of the untimely death of Freddie Mercury. The argument is debatable, not otherwise.
group Kiss, which ended up in 209th place in the ranking, the authors called a team with 2.5 songs and decades of aimless activity. Despite the opinion of Vulture, years of aimless activity do not prevent Gene Simmons from being a completely successful businessman and collecting his own unreleased compositions in a real safe.

205 top line allotted red hot chili peppers, which the writers feel contempt for how the once hooligan, in their opinion, the group actively changed its image and became sterile for performances at the Super Bowl.
swedish quartet ABBA the authors placed it on line 204, noting that the inclusion of the group was necessary only in order to warm up the audience at the time of the appearance of the musical Mamma Mia. deep purple the compilers of the rating placed it in 202nd place, calling the team lumpen rockers from the 1970s.
green day, whose frontman Billie Joe Armstrong recently gave a charity sale of all sorts of band equipment, Vulture ranked 193rd. According to the compilers, the group's success was visible on the wave of post-grunge, and now the trio is simply boring to listen to.
178th place in the ranking went to Alice Cooper whom the writers consider a successful showman with one convincing album in the 1970s and several solid pop-rock hits. Metallica the publication placed on the 176th line, noting their merits in the field of heavy music on early stages creativity and complete toothlessness of the team now. According to Vulture, the bass player Robert Trujillo has been with the band for as long as Metallica hasn't released anything worthwhile.
On the 155th line of their subjective chart, Vulture placed Aerosmith. According to the authors, in the mid-1980s Desmond Child and Diane Warren wrote a lot of fake and weak rock songs for the group, which made the group truly popular. The compilers believe that the entire legacy of Aerosmith is "Dream On", "Sweet Emotion", an association with Run-D.M.C. and the already mentioned songs of Childe.

USA"Everything is transient, but music is eternal." Peoples pass through time, leaving the imprints of their cultures on the face of the planet. Through the thickness of time years, not only monumental architectural masterpieces, covered with gray antiquity. Unforgettable musical works, brilliant composers and virtuoso performers are also forever imprinted in the memory of mankind, carefully preserving their melodic heritage, airy as an ether.
Over time, architectural preferences have changed, as well as musical tastes. Sometimes these concepts were combined, highlighting the most striking expressions of their era. As it happened in the state of Ohio on the American continent, where the Rock and Roll Museum and Hall of Fame was opened - a new musical trend that swept the entire planet in a whirlwind in the middle of the 20th century. Famed DJ Alan Freed, who worked for WMMS radio in Cleveland, in the early 1950s for new musical compositions coined the term rock and roll (rock and roll), which gave the right to a small American town to consider itself the birthplace of this musical direction.
The newly created organization paid tribute to recognition and honors outstanding composers and performers, producers and promoters, DJs and songwriters, agents, music journalists and other influential figures who have devoted their lives to the music industry in the style of rock and roll and have achieved significant success in this field. At its first meeting in 1986, the organizing committee named the first 10 legendary names to "open the doors" to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Since then, the new names of the Elite Ten have been announced every year at a ceremony held until 2009 at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and now held in Cleveland.
Before the "introduction" to the Hall, its new members, according to the established tradition, will certainly give a concert. From the musical stage, not only rock and rock and roll sound, but also rhythm and blues, pop music and rap recitative, as well as melodies and rhythms of other styles and directions, the performers of which were recognized as worthy of the Hall of Fame. Among the many who want to get into the lists of world fame, they choose candidates who released their first single 25 years ago and influenced the formation and development of their work musical culture in the global community. 700 experts evaluate contenders for the hall of fame, who were divided into four categories: "Performers", "Non-Performers", "Classics", "Orchestras".
In 1995, for such a significant musical organization, as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in Cleveland, on the shores of Lake Erie, its own futuristic-looking building was built by architect Yeo Ming Pei. architectural composition, which, in addition to the Hall of Fame, also houses a museum dedicated to the history of rock and roll, as well as a concert hall, cinemas and restaurants, consists of a 50-meter tower, a double glass pyramid and a huge “popsicle on a stick” with an unfolding wrapper.
The explosive energy of the stylistic musical direction was fully reflected in the extraordinary design of the museum exhibition spaces, and in the bright exhibits, priceless in their uniqueness. Decorated cars of pop stars right under the sharp-angled roof of a transparent pyramid, stage costumes favorites of the public, their illustrious musical instruments and personal items, posters and magazines with images of idols, sculptures and installations musical heroes and much more is presented within the walls of a one-of-a-kind music museum.

AT music world a scandal erupted due to the rating of overrated groups. Vulture magazine studied the list of musicians who are included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The worst bands were Queen and Bon Jovi. How did the author of the rating explain his choice and do you agree with this assessment? Russian musicians? About this - Ivan Yakunin.
“Bon Jovi is not a rock band at all, but people who starred in a movie about a rock band. How did these overgrown students from the Red Hot Chili Peppers manage to ingratiate themselves with rock fans? These super-duper stars from Queen very quickly became uninteresting - like an ugly old children's toy for those who have already grown up, ”journalist Bill Wyman ruthlessly cracked down on those who got to the very bottom of the rating. Judging by his previous posts, this is his favorite format: it turns everything from Michael Jackson songs to The Beatles songs into a rating, ranking them from best to worst. And let his assessment cause indignation in the first place, in some ways he is right, the musician admits. Nike Borzov: “I think everything is correct. Apparently, ABBA rather contributed to the destruction of rock and roll as a popular style, because now pop music is all based on the song structure of the ABBA principle. Bon Jovi had rock albums in the beginning, and later albums are, in general, such pop music. The songs for them were started by the same guy who wrote the songs for Dr. Alban, and with the same words.
Sharp assessments of these performers sounded before. Conservative critics have noted that Bon Jovi, Queen, and ABBA are too loose with the laws of the genre. This is supposedly not rock at all - rather, pop. And ABBA, for example, does not always record arrangements with high quality, skeptics noted. In general, there was something to criticize for, but not so sharply. This opinion is also shared by the leader of the Cockroaches group Dmitry Spirin: “The very fact that the group is included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it seems to me, already does them honor, and what place they find themselves among others ... Apparently, it was very difficult for the people who compiled this internal rating to arrange them in such a way that it was adequate. Therefore, it is understandable that the pioneers of the genre - Chuck Berry, the Ramones - go ahead, and the artists who, perhaps, did not play such an important role in the formation of rock music, to the end.
However, not for all popular artists Bill Wyman was unfavorable. The leaders of his rating were Chuck Berry, The Beatles and the winner nobel prize Bob Dylan. He described them as trendsetters in rock and roll - it was they, according to Wyman, who created the spirit of rock as musical genre. But this also applies to all other artists who are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, singer Yuri Loza is convinced: “The whole world sings We Will Rock You, the whole world sings We Are The Champions, everyone sings Bohemian rhapsody. It's just higher than all rock music put together, and they put it in some places. Well, bullshit! Those who write, have they done anything? Drive them all in the neck, boobies who do not understand anything in life.
Ratings of the worst bands in history were published by many magazines. This and british Word, and American Blender. Each such material attracted the attention of readers. True, both magazines subsequently closed. I wonder if Vulture will take this experience into account or publish a new ranking next year.
There are 214 performers in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They are selected by a jury of 1,000 journalists, producers, music critics. The main rule is that a musician can get into the Hall of Fame only 25 years after the release of his first single.
