. . . . being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in November.

 

Always nice when the bass player gets some recognition.

Finally! I mean all she had to do is record over 9000 songs perfectly, through multiple decades! 😁 Like one does.

[Marvin]

Just scanning over a limited discography of her work, it's phenomenal.

 

She has been overlooked for far too long.

[Dan Dare]

Always a good thing when an artist's work is recognised, but all this Hall of Fame stuff is a load of corporate b/s. Imho obviously.

[Hellzero]

It was about time as she deserves it more than any other bass player.

 

What a career!

I think we should have a rule/guideline where we don’t post people’s names in the subject of the thread without some context. 

Yet again, I looked at this and thought, "oh jeez, bless her but at least she had a good innins."

I used to exchange emails with her years ago, I even got a reply on Christmas Day once.

 

Bruce Foxton was the last one to not be dead when I opened that thread..

Agree with both points there.

Outkast getting the nod over Oasis. Correct choice.

Every time I hear about Outkast this is now the first thing that springs to mind, ruined them for me!

Has this actually been confirmed, or is it what Carol said? **

Concur. I had a huge 'oh shit no' moment when I first saw this.

All I can say is " About Bloody Time!!!!!"

[BlueMoon]

Phenomenal back catalogue (on guitar as well) and overall contribution. I think she also still does online tuition. What an underrated artist, and seemingly without huge ego problems.
