Why is Three Dog Night not in the Hall of Fame?

[Disco-Pete]

Just noticed this. What's up?

 

[Galu]

Perhaps Mama told them not to come?

 

[Disco-Pete]

But they did. You clearly did not notice.

even at the BBC

 

[Galu]

Their singles didn't do much in the UK.

0 Number 1s; 1 Top Tens; 2 Top 40s

And no show from their albums.

 

[Disco-Pete]

So? They had lots of great hits in N.America. Plenty to honour them.

 

[Galu]

That's what my attachment was meant to convey. 😉

 

[Disco-Pete]

They were one of the GOATS. Makes no sense they're not there.

 

[Galu]

I know the Moody Blues are there.

But they had to wait till 2018!

Three Dog Night was inducted into The Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2000.

As they should be. 🙂

It appears that one has to be specific when referring to "Hall of Fame". 😉

I'm talkin' bout the Big Kahunna. 😎

I had managed to forget about Three Dog Night - why did you have to remind me?

 

[Disco-Pete]

Would you rather remember the Moldy Blahs?

Sheesh. 🙄

 

[wrenchone]

No, I'd just rather not remember Three Dog Night. I moved on from them a long time ago - I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate where I moved to, given your attraction for that band...

 

[Disco-Pete]

You've piqued my curiosity. Do tell. My music collection covers a wide range. I just found it odd Three Dog Night wasn't among the worthy recipients.

 

[tubesguy]

Just please wake me up when they induct Warren Zevon.

Look how long it took for Rush, and Yes. Chart position and sales numbers are one thing, but influencing generations of new musicians and writers is what I give more weight to. I agree, Pete, TDN should be there. They were Buck Roger's favorite band in space!🤘

 

[Galu]

They were Buck Roger's favorite band in space!🤘

I believe that Buck played one of TDN's albums while in his apartment during the episode Cosmic Whiz Kid.

There is reference to the fact that the featured song was Shambala.

However, the best reason for watching Buck Rogers in the 25th Century was Erin Gray! 😎

The "only" reason to watch that show. 😍
