I agree completely. I love the site and I love being able to contribute but at the end of the day I think it's in very capable hands. -
Yeah, I get it and as comprehensive as the database is, there's always gonna be arguments about who should be in or out. It is what it is and ultimately when it comes down to it, it's up to Dan and that's fine by me. -

I'm really just trying to compare them to bands that are already on the site. There's so many bands that I love that I know have no place on the site but I think some of these ones do.

I also love many of the bands mentioned, but I think your letting your sentimentality cloud your judgement. As Geoff said, they're not what I associate with the site. IMO, of course.

The Georgia Thunderbolts - Stand Up. I've only just heard of these guys, I'll have to go on a deep dive. Killer vocals.

So obviously you know that my idea of hard rock, sleaze and glam is quite a bit different from a lot of people who frequent the site and I also have a more encompassing view of AOR as well but here's my take: America: Absolutely I think they fit as either lite AOR or Hard Rock in some spots. Christopher Cross: Yes, although he is soft rock I would have to say that he also falls into the category of AOR. Air Supply: Same as Christopher Cross but with some pomp influence too. Collective Soul: Collective Soul is a modern classic rock band imo and absolutely should be on the site. Live: nope Creed: I would say yes, it's weird that Alter Bridge and Scott Stapp's solo stuff is on the site but Creed isn't. Stone Temple Pilots: I'd say yes. Especially from Purple on. Goo Goo Dolls: They're one of my favorite bands but I don't think they fit here. Alice in Chains: Big no. Soundgarden: Maybe, they have big guitars and soaring vocals. Pearl Jam: See Soundgarden. Nirvana: No Mudhoney: I love Mudhoney with all my heart but they don't belong here. Kid Rock (Rock and southern rock releases only): I hate Kid Rock but if Andrew W.K. is here he probably should be too. Genesis: The Peter Gabriel stuff for sure. Pink Floyd: Yes Emerson, Lake, & Palmer (Powell): Yes The Rolling Stone: Absolutely The Beatles: Yes Also, I'd like to see Creedence, ELO and a few others on the site as well.

I absolutely love "The Cars". They were a big part of my life growing up, but I don't think they're HH material. A rock band for sure, as you said, but I think of them more like "INXS", another great rock band at it's core, but not HH worthy. IMO, of course.
