replies: text: The article needs a link with this list to the offical rock and roll hall of fame site.  Anyone could produce a list like this and say its from the rock and roll hall of fame.Gephart 07:05, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

I won't put a tag up yet, as i will wait and see if anyone can present a source with this list, otherwise this is going to be deleted.  Thanks.--Gephart 07:02, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Deleting Stub

message: A few weeks back, some good soul went through and changed the numbers to bullets. I'm wondering if an equally good improvement would be to put the list in chronological order.
It seems wrong to delete the alphabetical listing, and I don't think the Wiki syntax allows for dynamic re-ordering. How does a separate page sound?
The dates have to be all filled out first (which itself introduces problems of definition), even if only approximately. I'm thinking a table-based format would help, and make it easier to read.
Thoughts?

thread_title:  Different format? 

message: I have restored this article, describing the list but not reproducing it (only ext linking to it).  It is valuable to have an article for this because it is a prestigous list and numerous song, album, and artist articles wlink to it (check "What links here").  The article can talk about the list without giving the list, in the same manner as Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and similar articles do.   Wasted Time R 22:17, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article restored

message: The foot note says that E.C. was given credit for 1 Yardbirds song.  The Yardbirds song in the list is "Shapes of Things", which he did not play on.  Jeff Beck should receive credit for that one.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.107.82.107 (talk) 01:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
