artist who actually contributed something during those times should be in before those who came decades later....

i really wanted to put his name in the title, but i ran out of space, you can't fit them all!

See how the small minded and mental midgets take a light entertainment matter to extremes, OP .
No fun allowed by these cognitively rigid old timers ..
No personal opinions allowed .

Having said that, there should perhaps be a separate even more vaunted section for musical Gods and Goddesses ,as distinct from whatever super category these are all supposed to be .

Nothing against Cindy or the White Stripes but surely that's like calling a lovely snack a feast , imho

This continues to be nonsense until they elect Devo and the Fixx.

I wonder how Willie Nelson feels about the recognition with him being mostly a country act and all.

God bless you and him always!!!

There isn't one of them who deserves to be in there, imho. Wille? What does he have to do with R&R other then putting on Farm Aid? Because he did an occasional number with Neil Young & Mellancamp?

I like Willie. But he's not R&R.

Zevon!!

His first album was a classic.

I don't know if she will do it but I've told my wife I want "My Ride is Here" played at my funeral.

We could see this coming even long before they inducted the Beatles in. Conway Twitty did more for rock n roll than that entire list. All of Atlantic REcord's and BArry Gordy's Motown stars got in, and they ain't R&R. I think Smokey Robinson is one the great producers, song writers, and vocalists ever, but he ain't rock n roll either.

Inducting rappers, and country stars into the Rock and Roll hall of fame simply makes a mockery of the entire concept...

some country people are in as early influences like Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers....

many of those people were influences on the rock people....they have a category for them....

Bob Wills could be squeezed in, mostly due to his influence on Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters and Bill Halley. Carl Perkins and Conway Twitty were rock n roll performers before they went country, so was Jerry Lee Lewis.
