Obviously KISS is pathetic musically, I personally can't listen to it, but that was never the standard for R&RHoF. They did revolutionize the "show" part of the equation, and deserve recognition for their achievement and vast influence.
Dolly Parton is an accomplished musician, but R&R? That's ridiculous. She has comedic talent too, and is no doubt lhao.
Interviewer: "How do you feel about all those "dumb blonde jokes? Do you feel insulted?
Dolly: "Oh no! I think they're funny! Besides, (conspiratorily), I'm not really blonde."
Lionel Richie, Dionne Warwick? Good musicians, but I'm sure that they never once considered their music R&R. The HoF has no credibility at all, even less than most such awards. Even the baseball HoF has become a joke - and unlike music, there are objective standards that could have been used for that.
