Tina Turner Chosen OVER Pat Benatar For Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame

To avoid an Oh So White situation.

Tina. She deserve to be there under her own name, not just with Ike.

As she should

Pat Benetar is certainly worthy, but Tina Turner is Tina Motherfucking Turner.

Hopefully next time for Pat.

[quote] Why?

It's black history month

Relax. She’s older and in poor health. PB will get her turn. She belongs, but industry love is a battlefield.

I don’t know any Pat Benetar songs off hand. Tina Turner is a living legend. No comparison.

Please....Linda Ronstadt was just inducted a few years ago....AFTER the likes of Madonna

Pat will get in next year

Both of them before fucking Joe Camel 🐫 Jay Z.

How the fuck did Stevie Nicks get in before Tina Turner. Is she still fucking industry guys?

Tina's without a doubt and for all time, the Queen of Rock n' Roll. Pat can wait

and?

Simple - Tina is a legend. Pat, not so much

What do Grammys have to do with anything? Tina is way more popular and influential.

Tina is the queen. This is an indisputable fact.

Pat was a bank teller before she started singing.

She can go get her damn window back while she waits, if she has to keep busy.

OP is everything in your life trolling?

Love both Pat and Tina.

But Tina Turner is in a different category that Pat Benetar. Tina is a megastar with a career and story spanning many decades. Pat did some great stuff in the eighties (1980 - 1986 in particular) and definitely left her mark but is in no way comparable to Tina Turner. Not even close.

This is very reminiscent of that stupid Madonna/Janet Jackson feud where the answer is clearly Madonna.

Anna Mae Bullock and Patricia Mae Giraldo.

Anna wins.

OP, why didn't you ask why Kate Bush was chosen over Benatar? Kate's a genius but I'm just asking.....

But Pat is the greatest dancer in rock 'n' roll history!

Why is anybody chosen for the R&R Hall of Fame? It's a joke. There are so many unworthy inductees that it's mind boggling.

Does anybody know if Tina will be there tonight, or will she Skype in from her Swiss Chateau ?

Did they ever induct Kate Bush?

Pat is eventually destined for it.

Connie Francis sends her best. As does Mary Wells (long distance from the beyond). who gets into the R&R Hall is meaningless and political.

They are not exactly competing with each other. Tina Turner is TINA TURNER! Sheesh!

R20 it's obviously janet jackson...

R6 I see what you’ve done here….

Tina Turner flew to New York to attend the opening of her Broadway jukebox musical in 2019, and she said at the time that it would be her last visit to the US. She's in poor health and does not leave Switzerland.

Pat never had a number one hit. This is the tacky reality. That, and the wheezing bone dust of the boomer overlords maintain their death grip on what defines relevance despite the experiences of three subsequent generations. Tina’s 80s comeback output was enjoyed, but it was decidedly more pop than rock.

I was sure it was going to be Nana Mouskouri this year.

R28 So right!

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame isn't just about rock music r33. It's modern popular music. Pat Benatar definitely deserves to be in there.

Pat is more rock. Tina is more popular.

Pat Benatar wouldn't know how to sing if it wasn't for Tina Turner laying it down for all Rock and Roll singing women. Tina would blow Pat off the stage and believe me Pat Benatar would agree with that.

Mireille Mathieu for next year, one hopes.

Tina is on her death bed, so no surprise they're rushing to honor her.

She was already in the Hall of Fame. Her solo recording career quickly veered away from rock and roll.

Benatar won 4 years in a row and then Tina won the next four.

They both belong in there.

They both belong in there (Tina already is, with Ike) and it's fucking ridiculous that Benatar didn't get in the first year she was eliglble. She is literally the first rock and roll female solo superstar!!!!

No one cares about Pat Benetar. Tina is a legend. Pat is nobody.

Pat Benatar tells CBS Sunday Morning this AM it DOES NOT bother her that she was snubbed by Rock n Roll Hall of Fame

While awards are nice and validating, do I need someone to acknowledge me? No

"Life is not fair, what are you going to do"

The RRHOF is such a joke. I don't get why it's not just called Pop Music Hall of Fame. Because so many inductees are not rock and there's many who can't play instruments or sing.

Pat who?

They both deserve it. Tina Turner first, and then Pat.

Pat Benatar is trending online - because people puzzled as to why she is NOT in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame

TINA TURNER IS THE QUEEN OF R & R

Kate Bush didn't get in either, so Pat is in good company.

Excuse me, that's Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo. She will not accept the "invitation" without him being a co-headliner.

R52 That interview was actually creepy.

Wondering why OP is viewing this as Tina vs Pat? There were quite a few others that were nominated but not inducted. There were other solo acts that were. Why not Pat vs Todd Rundgren? Why not Pat vs Jay-Z? Is it Tina because we love to pit women against each other, or is this race bait? Or both?

Who the fuck cares about Neal Giraldo? He's always co-billed with Pat Benatar and in interviews with her.
