Whitney Houston makes the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!....uh....WTF?
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/...143443193.html
This year’s six inductees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame were announced Wednesday morning, and they are Whitney Houston, Depeche Mode, the Notorious B.I.G., Nine Inch Nails, the Doobie Brothers, and T. Rex. Notably absent from the Class of 2020, however, was Pat Benatar. The fact that Benatar — one of the most successful female artists of the 1980s, who undoubtedly set the template for female hard rock singers at a time when few female hard rock singers had a presence on the charts or at rock radio — had never been nominated before had been a subject of annual Hall protest. She was widely predicted to be a lock this year, especially considering that last year’s inductee, Janet Jackson, had implored in her Rock Hall acceptance speech to thunderous applause: “Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, please, 2020: Induct more women!” (Only three female artists total were on this year’s Hall ballot, the other two being Houston and passed-over four-time nominee Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. Women make up less than 8 percent of all Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees.) Benatar actually came in second in this year’s online Fan Vote. Also not making the Class of 2020 cut were the Dave Matthews Band, who actually topped the Fan Vote by a wide margin. (It is noteworthy that the seven previous winners of the Fan Vote had all been inducted in their years). Along with Benatar, hard/classic rock in general was passed over, with nominees Motörhead, Thin Lizzy, Todd Rundgren, the MC5, and two other artists that made the top five of the Fan Vote, Judas Priest and Soundgarden, all not getting in. It was also interesting that six-time nominees Kraftwerk were passed over in favor of their logical successors Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails, since it could easily be argued that all electronic music can be traced back in some way to the German techno pioneers. |

I mean I personally am a big fan of Faith No More and Fugazi getting in but I don't express that because it is too obscure. But being mad that bands aren't hard enough for your personal mendoza line of nut-appropriate basslines seems kind of silly to me.

I’ve had a vote for the inductees since 2012, and I can absolutely tell you that the majority of the voting committee has no ****ing clue what they are doing.

It’s really more the Music Hall of Fame at this point. Which is fine with me since there are incredible artists in other genres that deserve to be honored somewhere and the R&RHOF is probably the most natural place for that.
And Yes, B.I.G. is arguably the greatest rapper of all time. He definitely deserves to be in. |

That's a pretty good list, I'd change some order around and include LL Cool J out of sheet volume of output alone
Also you are gonna trigger some huge Rakim or Nas fan putting Beck in there lol |

Rock has been dead since 1998. The best you get these days is Twenty One Pilots.

Yeah, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is complete crap. Run DMC got in before Rush. That's all I have to say.

Anyway, the big-name rock acts are dwindling and they are churning out fewer and fewer of them over the last decade or so. |
