Rock and Roll: Die wichtigsten Lieder aus der Hall of Fame.

Rock and Roll Lieder sind ein amerikanisches Kulturgut. Im Jahr 1983 hat man eigens für das amerikanischste aller Musikgenres ein Museum gebaut. In Cleveland, Ohio steht die „Rock And Roll Hall of Fame“, in deren Kreis jedes Jahr neue Künstler aufgenommen werden. Ein Komitee an Musikhistorikern berät jedes Jahr in der Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, welche Künstler das Genre dieses Mal musikalisch weiter gebracht haben. Dabei ist der Begriff Rock and Roll sehr weit gefasst: Neben Begründern des Genres wie Bill Haley oder den Beatles haben es auch Hip Hop Acts wie Run DMC, Grandmaster Flash oder Kurtis Blow in die Hall Of Fame geschafft. Neben Künstlern werden auch Lieder ausgezeichnet. Aktuell haben es 660 Lieder in das Museum geschafft. Hier sind sie also: Die offiziellen 660 Lieder, die Rock And Roll nachträglich geprägt haben. Sie kommen übrigens in keiner besonderen Reihenfolge, daher sind sie in der Playlist unten einfach gleichwertig alphabetisch sortiert.

Über die Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame

In der Rock And Roll Playlist finden sich Lieder von 1920 bis 2000. Keine große Überraschung: Die Genrehelden The Beatles und The Rolling Stones sind am häufigsten darin vertreten. Auch Elvis, die Beach Boys, Bob Dylan und Led Zeppelin finden sich öfter darin. Manche kritisieren, dass der Auswahlprozess für die Aufnahme in die Rock And Roll Hall of Fame durch Mitarbeiter der Musikindustrie wie dem Chefredakteur des Rolling Stone Magazines, Jann Wenner getroffen wird und nicht von wirklichen Musikern. Dadurch wird die Auswahl eher zu einer Geschmacksfrage. Auch dass der Auswahlprozess nicht wirklich transparent ist, wird oft bemängelt. Petitionen mit mehreren 10.000 Unterschriften wurden vom Komitee ignoriert, Frauen und afroamerikanischen Musiker sind objektiv in der Liste unterrepräsentiert. Die Band Sex Pistols lehnten 2006 die Ehre ab, in der Hall of Fame repräsentiert zu werden. Wie es sich für Punk gehört mit einem sehr unflätigen Schreiben.

Aber wo viel Licht ist, ist eben auch viel Schatten. Und die Rock and Roll Playlist mit ihren 660 Tracks strahlt tatsächlich ausgesprochen hell.

Und warum steht die Hall of Fame eigentlich in Ohio? Der Legende nach war es der Discjockey Alan Freed aus Ohio, der den Begriff „Rock and Roll“ in seiner Radiosendung landesweit bekannt gemacht hatte. Er hatte ihn wohl aus Bill Haleys Textzeile „Rock, rock, rock everybody, roll, roll, roll everybody“ aufgeschnappt. Daher steht das Rock’n’Roll Museum heute am Erie See in Cleveland, Ohio. Das Genre sollte sich wie kaum ein zweites bis heute stilprägend für den modernen Rock, Hardrock oder auch Elektro auswirken.
