Do You Think Sammy Hagar Should Be Inducted Into The Rock HOF As A Solo Performer?

please let's not take the rrhof seriously in anyway whatsoever


Limp_Abbreviations10

very true. But if it was legit id say heck yea for Sammy. The longevity alone is worthy.


tnt6673

I think the RnR hall is a joke of a system and BS.....


CompetitiveIron223

Why not they put that hard rock icon Missy Elliott in.


DeNiroPacino

It doesn't matter either way. The HoF is utterly irrelevant.


FlagpoleSitta87

Nah. Being in there with Van Halen is enough if you ask me. Hagar might claim that he was as big as Van Halen were when he joined the band, but that is a load of horseshit. He was doing well as a solo artist and just had a big hit with I Can't Drive 55, but he wasn't on their level of fame and popularity.


GetaGoodLookCostanza

the guy has written some of the best rock songs ever. he deserves to be in as a solo artists. just a refresher for some of his other hit songs he wrote “ Heavy Metal” “I'll Fall In Love Again” “There's Only One Way To Rock” “Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy” “Three Lock Box”


thankyougoagain

Yeah, nobody has heard those.


GetaGoodLookCostanza

yea you are right, millions of nobody's know those songs


thankyougoagain

Thank you.


Toddthmpsn

If Iron Maiden gets in we can talk


TheBeanie2021

Yessir....And Foreigner, styx, Asia, Billy squier, MotleyCrue, Ratt....many others.


East-Excitement3561

Same with REO speedwagon. So many legendary bands and artists yet to be nominated yet missy Elliot is in


TheBeanie2021

Reo...yes! If the bar is lowered so far that Missy Elliott is in, then Sammy and DLR should be shoe-ins. Oh yeah, and Loverboy, Bryan Adams, Boston, triumph, and 38 special also.


smjl23

Whose messy Elliot?


ManOfCyan

Yes. Iron Maiden, Foreigner, Styx, Asia, Squier, Motley Crue, Ratt, REO, Loverboy, Bryan Adams, Boston, Triumph, 38 Special all as listed above, but also Extreme, Quiet Riot, Motörhead, Megadeth, Foghat, Kansas, Living Colour, Alice In Chains. We could do this all day. The RnRHOF is a joke. Nuff said.


subliminal_trip

No.


CtotheVizza

Hall’s a joke. Sammy is not. The Hagar Institute is working on a theoretical 2nd way to rock as we speak.


Dry_Newspaper2060

They let Dolly Parton in so Sammy should be a shoe in. Otherwise take the R&R part out of the name and call it the Country or Pop HOF


thubbard44

To me it’s the Rolling Stone hall of fame. Whatever sold magazines, makes it in.


EcofriendlyTrash_

Whatever baby boomer tastemakers think is worthy of their adoration.


Conscious_Edge9726

No.


jbrc89

People in Saint Louis do


_IsolationDrills_

No


jeffstreet65

I like Sammy better as a solo artist.


jaedoyle89

Well David and Sammy both had different styles of writing but definitely David should definitely be inducted because he is more memorable hits


krowley67

Solid disagree.


VHS5150

Me too. David had “Yankee Rose “. Sammy had four or five rock classics .


rytchie

No.


t-s-words

Nope.


Aggravating-Put-4818

1000% nope


IvanLendl87

Well the RnR HoF is a joke and Hagar’s music is a joke so……yes.


HonorableJudgeIto

Not even close. Guy had two or three big songs. If that were the criteria, we would be talking about admitting 100’s of bands/artists.


Mambo68

Montrose?


GetaGoodLookCostanza

Heavy Metal , I'll Fall In Love Again, “There's Only One Way To Rock” “Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy” “Three Lock Box” I Cant drive 55 Over the Top did really well from the movie . He wrote a song Rick Springfield covered and had a hit. "I'd do Anything For you " Eagles Fly Stand Up and Shout. tad bit more than 2 or 3 you mentioned


Bulldogx2000

Do you think there’s not hundreds of bands in there?


Objective_Tour_6583

Lol, yet Sheryl Crow is worthy?


ExteriorLatex

Yes, she absolutely is. Listen to her 30ish year body of work.


Objective_Tour_6583

Yeah, not compared to Sammy she isn't. Try his 45 plus years body of work.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Objective_Tour_6583

And she isn't even close to "Rock" so now you YOU sit down and shut the fuck up. Popular garbage is still garbage. Her biggest song has no less than 4 "writers" listed. As a matter of fact, most of her songs are composed by other people. Sammy has actually penned hits for OTHER PEOPLE. She can't even write her own.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Objective_Tour_6583

I did "some research", and I've concluded you're a fucking asshole.

Go fuck your DLR blow up doll. Again.


Tomegunn1

No.


b-lincoln

Nope


Individual-Heat-8808

No


InspectorInner1912

No.


4t0micpunk

Standing Hampton. So yes.


Midwinter77

Why? He can't even drive 55. Lame-o.


thubbard44

I don’t think he can drive at all. The hesitation in the song before saying 55 is clearly him chickening out.


Midwinter77

Outstanding.


Jackaroe023

Nope


bankrobberdub

No


TheRealSpectre48

Yes


YasonBourne007

No


PistintheWheaties

Absolutely


[deleted]

YES


thubbard44

Yes, he truly deserves his place right there next to ABBA.


MadJackandNo7

No way in hell


PumpPie73

No.


treetopflyin

No


Theamazingchan

I’d put Montrose in before I put Sammy in as a solo act (and I wouldn’t put Montrose in, by the way)


dwstupidity

Absolutely. People forget how big he was before van halen. I thought it was mostly cheese, but he sold a lot of albums. I believe the VOA tour and album was pretty big. At the same time there are more bands that should be in before him. I gave up on the HOF when madonna got in. Fuck the hall of fame, its a joke.


Cashmoney182

Janet Jackson is in.


Melodic_Wrap8455

Nope. He doesn't have a body of work to hang his at on. He had one marginally popular song " I can't drive 55," and that's about it


PolkaOn45

No. I’m not a young either


boywonder5691

Absolutely effing not


Dry_Newspaper2060

Absolutely effing Yes


Dsayyae

Yep!


smc4414

Nah. Not


baconismadefromcats

No. The dude thinks cherries are hot and sweet and grow on vines. They grow on trees,Sammy. Trees.


Cellarzombie

Sammy’s the real deal. He absolutely should be in the Rock Hall as a solo artist.


Roger_Roger27

Yes. I do have to admit to being a Sammy guy. ​ He's been making fun rock and roll music since the 70s! Heavy Metal, Your Love is Driving Me Crazy, Can't Drive 55, Eagles Fly, Give to Live, Mas Tequilla, Marching to Mars... I loved him with Van Halen and I love him solo. Dude is in his 70s and still out there touring and performing. I'd take solo Sammy over Solo Dave 10/10 times.


REVSWANS

No. He had his moments, but I think only one really brilliant album, *Standing Hampton*. Plus, he's already in for something much bigger and better. There's really no point.


PhilA64

Why not you have so many artists that aren’t rock and rollers


[deleted]

grumpy cat says NO !


paulfrehley5

His solo deserves to be in there more than a lot of other people who were inducted, but I don’t it should be and it won’t. Even solo Ozzy isn’t in the Hall of Fame.


daggius

No


Left-Assistant3871

For what? One song?


Pjk2530144

Yes


GoBlue2007

Love Sammy but no. People far more deserving than him aren’t in.


GoodDefenseagain

Yes


Nate7225377

Yes


tradenpaint

Hell yes!


Ok_Pressure1131

Yes, as a solo artist he deserves a shot at being nominated. I’d vote for him. Never seen him live but love his work as simply Sammy Hagar.


dinkyyo

No but he qualifies [for this](https://worldtequilaawards.com/).


FrankRizzo65

Absolutely


vexunumgods

Yes


mantistoboggan287

He’s in the hall of fame of our hearts, and that’s what really matters


surfcatMatt

Yes.


[deleted]

Dear god No


jbittn028

You mean he hasn't already?


ABL67

There plenty ahead of him.


Metalshark2005

The rock hall is a neat concept and an amazing museum but I’ll never take the “inductions” seriously until the fan vote actually means something. Just look at 2019 when 8 out of 10 of the highest fan-voted artists (including the number 1 band) didn’t make it in.


jellyfungus

Rrhof is a joke. But honestly no. There are already too many people n that shouldn’t be.


selfawarestardust

No


Charles-Headlee

Not as a solo artist. I also think Gary should have been included as a member when VH was inducted in 2007. Wolfgang, no way in hell.


clatham73

Hell yes. Way before punk ass rap artists


kyevil11

No


klcheshire

No


Ana987655321

Absolutely. Let’s have a moveable pieces category for it. G.E. Smith, Larry Campbell, Warren Haynes, Tom Morello, Annie Lennox, Elvis Costello, Trent Reznor, Allison Krauss, David Byrne, Henry Rollins, Rick Rubin, T Bone Burnett, David Grisman, Jerry Garcia.


Party_Face_9777

Rock and roll hof is a joke why do they even bother.. no John Prine no Warren Zevon although not “rock” their contributions to music cannot be ignored unless you’re the r/r hall of fame clueless 😎✌️🎸


-Pazute_72

He can't drive 55..


Mambo68

No, he should refuse to be in the same " HOF" as Chaka Khan.


Bread2shred3

ROTHNOTHAGAR I do love, why can’t this be love, though!


Forward-Height-7123

Life is a highway, man!


BlueOhm3

Hell Yes!!


Dortoh1

As soon as someone actually opens a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we can talk.


Turambar1964

Better response: ignore the Hall of Fame and let it go away over time.


Catdaddyx2

Sure, based on who has gone in lately.


AliTaylor777

Not before Maiden, Whitesnake and Toto. Though, going by recent inductees, they’ll get into the Country Music Hall Of Fame long before the Rick and Roll equivalent!


fresnosmokey

Sammy solo is a damn sight better than a lot of acts already in the RRHOF. Montrose (IMO) is even better still and as long as they're still calling is the ROCK AND ROLL Hall of fame has long deserved a spot.


154464371

No


28gunsKY

They let Missy Elliot in....so if sammy doesn't get in then shut the whole thing down.


Wolvercote

No


exploringtheworld797

Yes!!!


krowley67

Yes. He was a fixture on rock radio before has stint in VH and continues to record and tour. Three Lock Box is a great album, but Standing Hampton should make it a lock.


VHS5150

If Dolly Parton is there (and she’s a great artist for her genre , by the way ), Sammy should surely be there .


VHS5150

Yes


Nanaki567

He has been playing and singing since the early 70s and he hasn’t freggin stopped. Like ever. That being said, the Hall of Fame is now considered a joke by a great many musicians, so if he did end up there, it may end up being a hindrance.


TudBear

Hands down 💪🏼 Been doing it consistently longer than most and hasn’t missed his mark💪🏼 75+ and kicking some serious “Poundcake” Thanks for ALLLLL the music you play. It’s the connection to my youth and proving my kids wrong, us age challenged can still kick it💯💪🏼💪🏼🏁🏁


Ok-Tumbleweed960

No
