The Grand Ol Opry in country is much the same way. For instance The Oak Ridge Boys are much like Kiss in that they've had longevity, sold millions of albums, 27 #1 hits, huge and active fanbase to this day, loads of charity work, redefined vocal groups in the genre, awards galore, still making relevant music and touring.... and they got in as members last year.
Darius Rucker got in this year with 4 country hits and a rock music background.
