Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2019 Class. What do we think?

What hasn't Chubby Checker been inducted? He has the #1 song in the world.

Clay Aiken?

I think it's great that Roxy Music is finally acknowledged.

Eno should've been in long ago as a solo artist but at least he's finally getting his dues this way.

Janet!!

Janet was finally picked? What was this, her umpteenth try?

3rd, and it was the charm.

Fuck def leopard. You CANNOT possible say these hair metal dudes have done more for music than many of the 2nd British wave of music that revived the fucking music industry when it was looking deader than dead in the early 80’s

Such a bullshit ceremony. Janet Jackson has zero rock in her career, why is this woman there? Meanwhile The Smashing Pumpkins, the kings of alternative rock from the 90s, with albums ranging from psychedelic to hard rock and glam are still absent. Good on Cure, Roxy Music and Radiohead (a once great rock band now wasted on experimental drivel).

2 older acts who had huge hits back in the day that should have been in LONG ago - Connie Francis and Pat Boone.

R8, I don't know if you've noticed, but R&B and Pop acts have been inducted into the RRHF since its inception. If Madonna and Donna Summer are inducted, then I don't see why Janet Jackson doesn't belong there.

In what universe are Connie Francis and Pat Boone rock?

Of course I do, that's why I and anyone who actually loves rock, call it bullshit.

R11 Don't be stupid. it includes rock, pop, soul, etc. And yes, Connie and Pat should be in there.

Im not being stupid, stupidity is creating a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and including pop, soul, hip hop and R&B as acts, that's why rock lovers hate this shit. Plus, Cleveland.

Madonna should have been indicted.
