Will New Edition ever make it into the RRHOF?? Considering they have been around on and off since the 80's and have sold millions of copies I think the answer is yes!! Do they fit the criteria for making it in?? How cool would it be to see Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph and Johnny at the ceremony getting their props.

No way.

I don't think New Edition should qualify to be in the RRHOF. Not ever anyway. I think I consider them to be major influences to many boy bands today, but they haven't really made much of a contribution in changing the music landscape.

As is the case with such honors, it's going to come down to how do the mainstream (white pop) powers-that-be view New Edition. IMO, they are viewed by that segment more as a collection of solo acts than as a collective unit that happened to have solo success (a la The Beatles). | |

Almost forgot: Gene Chandler The Commodores Jesse Belvin ...you can complete the list. I know a lot of female rockers that should've been in it too: Joan Jett Pat Benatar Linda Ronstadt (in the 1970s she was the shit) There's too many people missing in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s that should've already been in it!

It's funny they induct the Sex Pistols (who I credit for exposing the Hall for what they are by denying their induction) but they don't induct someone like Edwin Starr or someone like that.

I still don't comprehend how they haven't inducted Janet yet and damn near all these heffahs today are carbon copies of her in some era or another... | |

You know they'll let her wait four more years before getting in.

To the powers-that-be for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, from a white society standpoint N.E. was a group that had some level of success but were more known for the solo successes of Bell Biv DeVoe, Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant and Bobby Brown than a collective success. For that matter, the general public didn't even know Bobby Brown was a former member because his identity was formed as a solo artist with the "Don't Be Cruel" album. [Edited 6/25/08 18:49pm] | |

The best selling point for New Edition is that it was a successful act on the R&B scene (with a few Hot 100 hits hitting the top 10) who became one of the few acts where each member had a platinum album as a solo act (I believe The Beatles are the only other act with that claim to fame). IMO, that is how N.E. is regarded by the general public -- I can't see them being inducted without being recognized in that fashion. No member of New Edition will be inducted as a solo act, because none of them had sustaining sucess. Their best shot is as a group and their collective impact as solo acts.

They had almost no pop success as 'New Edition' and that will hurt them.
