You don't like her? You don't think she is a rocker? There are many non-rockers in the Rock and Roll HOF.
You are right and I don't think any non-rocker belongs there. They are running out of R&R people and it's been diluted so much it doesn't have any cachet anymore.
 
Do they have a floor, room or wing for one hit wonders? Isn't almost everybody qualified as a rock 'n roller already inducted there?
 
Joan Baez as HOF worthy is a joke...

Journey I can live with...but not my choice ..

Yes I can live with but not my choice

Tupac.,,without a doubt

Pearl Jam....without a doubt

ELO for sure..cutting edge music incorporating classical instruments with rock instruments ....still one of the best shows I ve ever been to and for sure one of the best light shows

Hall amd Oates without a doubt..I still to this day listen to Abandoned luncheonette album regularly .....I saw them totally upstage, as an opening act , a cheesy Leo Sayer gig at the Bottom Line in NYC

too bad they sold out and went poofy hair MTV pop bullss&&t though for a while...but it paid the bills I m sure
 
Good article Andy....

and I agree totally that Notorius B.I.G. should be next.....I use a line from his song Juicy almost every day at hoops practice !
 
It is problem. Not unlike creating an honest discussion about fresh fish or tipping.
