Much as I dislike Madonna her wake is HUGE. She basically invented the pop diva, that most women in pop still follow today. Taylor Swift just had one of the biggest tours in history of tours and it’s all built on the Madonna model. Gaga, Katy Perry, SZA. It’s part of why I don’t like her, she killed women in rock and roll. We went from having Joan Jett and Pat Benetar and Debbie Harry and Siouxsie Sioux to dozens of Madonna knock offs. But that’s still a massive wake.
You’re mistaking fashion for music. Besides, Taylor Swift is the anti-Madonna. Fashion-wise at least, I’d agree with Katy Perry or Gaga. Music-wise, Katy Perry is much more like Paula Abdul and Lady Gaga is much more like Diana Ross.

Yes, a wake of having DESTROYED rock music, not contributed to it. So why should the ROCK AND ROLL Hall of Fame put Madonna in it?
