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.
>> 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. <<
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?
No I’m not. Swift ain’t the anti-Madonna fashionwise or music wise.
Madonna invented the pop diva that still rules female music today. That is the simple truth.
Wake is wake. Good wake, bad wake, it’s still a wake. Don’t be like Wenner. His snooty BS attitude to metal and prog have kept deserving bands out of the hall for decades. Just cause you don’t like the effect Madonna has had on music doesn’t mean she hasn’t had a massive effect and shouldn’t be in the hall. You really cannot tell the story of rock and roll, especially women in rock, without Madonna. And that’s really what the deciding factor should be.
