Long live Rock? 2022 R&R HOF


If the name was just called Music HOF, maybe there wouldn't be such a stink?

No comment on the inductees, just questioning the R&R connection.

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 RichieDionne 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.
