This is an embarrassment. At least there's no "rap/hip hop musicians" this year, which is about the only good thing about it.

Ringo Starr is being inducted as an individual? MMM-kay.

Actually this whole list is very dubious. Lou Reed MAYBE. The rest? Ummm no.

I dunno, it's from Rolling Stone... we should probably wait for confirmation before commenting.

If you click on the link, R.S. gets hits.
Then they think they are a vital component

What do you mean no Stevie Ray Vaughan? The guy reignited blues for a new generation. He was also a fantastic guitar player.
He also used really heavy gauge strings on a Strat, .12 or .13 I’ve been told. You usually use those on a longer scale guitar with lower tuning so they’re not impossible to bend.

Since rock and roll started dying around the 80’s and went belly up pretty quick with grunge they have to pick someone I guess.
To: wastedyears
Oh, so NOW they let Lou Reed in.

Agreed …. and plus some groups that were HUGE in the 70s and retain a cult-like following have been excluded - e.g. Yes.
But Joan Jett and Green Day get in? Please.

Lou Reed, of course.
Everyone else on the list just proves what a joke the Rock Hall of Fame is.

Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.
