I do. I like KISS and Gene. But Gene wants the RRHOF to only accept rock artists. A lot of rock music has its roots in jazz, blues, and gospel. I just think Gene has a case of the sour grapes here.
I can agree with that and I can also agree that an argument can be made that artist of those musical genres do not belong in a R&R museum. I believe those music genres have their own museums dedicated to their historical greats.
As far as Rap and Hip Hop go I of an opinion that they have no place or relationship to R&R. I don’t even consider them music. It better described as poor poetry recited with a rhythm section backup.
