Still no Pat Benatar even though Joan Jett got in several years ago (as did Stevie Nicks). And the only reason the Go-Go’s (whose debut album came out 40 years ago) are on the list this year is because of that Showtime documentary.
I think they need to change the name from Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to Popular Music Hall of Fame. That would end all the silly discussions about what is/isn’t rock. And then maybe introduce categories so it’s not do you induct Dionne Warwick or Iron Maiden because they’re not competing for the same category.
