Håp for Hall of Fame?

Nei, det er ikke Dekodet som er nominert, men Genesis

Og dermed er det fristende å fabulere som Los Angeles Times over hvike andre lenge savnede band kan komme etter.

Is the impending induction of Genesis the beginning of progressive rock getting its long-denied due from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Or is this just tokenism, a one-time exception made because of all the pop hits Genesis scored long after it had forsaken the arty, theatrical-rock strangeness and literary-mythic inspirations of the early 1970s, when Peter Gabriel was fronting the band?

Antagelig er det det, men det er lov å håpe.

If the Rock Hall’s voters want to put their ears to work in their future deliberations, rather than accepting on faith the commonplace critical disparagement of prog rock as a pompous, pseudo-intellectual perversion of the earthy rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic, here are some names and recordings for them to consider.

Selv om det er tvilsomt om Hall of ShFame er interessert i å la seg forvirre av noe så mundant som fakta og forslag.
