Again, no Carol Kaye or Glen Campbell. They played on thousands of songs - most un-credited.
Also if you can nominate Willie Nelson, then you can nominate Glen Campbell. Willie is a fine guitarist, but Glen could play circles around him.

Every year, we’re reminded that there is something that calls itself the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”

Same here. Them winning the first Heavy Metal Grammy was pure comedy gold. That alone should qualify...
To: Red Badger
Had to do a search but A Tribe Called Quest is a hip hop group.

I’m not sure that I’d put Willie Nelson in a “Rock and Roll” HoF. Maybe someone at the HOF said they need more nominees with
pop skills and someone else heard
pot skills. LOL

“pretty weak, starting to look like the Baseball Hall of Fame where anyone who every got a hit by a pitch is nominated.”
I agree. Pitiful. I guess they feel they have to nominate 10+ artists every year instead of maybe pausing and not nominating anyone for a while.

Warren Zevon - Who?
Werewolves of London guy................

Toby Keith’s “I’ll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again” is an out of the box classic.

Why no Zamfir and Yanni? Maybe next year?
Agreed though, This list is way off “rock and roll” and really straying into Pop.
Zevon deserves it. He may not have had a ton of hits. But has a massive volume of work. Fantastic song writer. And I believe he has played as a piano player on tons of songs (not just Jackson Browne).
To: Red Badger
White Stripes? They had like one record and one hit. Weak.
