“Ten Years Gone”: Reflections on Popular Music Studies and the Rock Hall/AMS lecture series

Ten years ago, the American Musicological Society and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame began a lecture series based on the idea of bringing the best in popular music scholarship to a wider audience, and at the same time connecting scholars to the unique collections at the Rock Hall’s Library and Archive. This roundtable conversation gathers past and future presenters from the series to discuss the state of popular music studies --where it's been, and where it's headed. The panelist reflect on their presentations, their current research, and the music they love (we might even ask them who they want to see Inducted into the Rock Hall). Panelists include Steve Baur (Dalhousie University), David Brackett (McGill University), Theo Cateforis (Syracuse University), Loren Kajikawa (George Washington University), and Stephanie Vander Wel (University at Buffalo). Jason Hanley and Mandy Smith of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame moderate the conversation.

No IRON MAIDEN in the rock n roll hall of fame. A band who made it with no radio play, no commercial help, and is popular not only in the USA but everywhere, and is selling out shows with their own brand even as they get older. Shame on you rock n roll hall of fame Shame!!!!! UP THE IRONS!!!!!!,

RRHOF is a joke!! When you don’t recognize Paul Rodgers of Bad Company and Free but you recognize rap artists and pop artist as rock you are messed up on many levels!!
