  • when will they put linda ronstadt in ..queen of rock and roll long before madonna etc...

  • I dont get it...Linda is a classic, what about Pat Benitar? The ladies dont get any Rock & Roll respect!

  • There are a few I missed but like I said, the hall is getting less appealling every year.The only reason Im knocking Metallica is because there are some artists who have waited a helluva lot longer who deserve it.Yes,disco does deserve its own category-it aint what we call rock n roll!Blue Oyster Cult werent the greatest singles band,but their music genius should have them next in line.

  • I hear ya,, People confused the meaning of the Rock & Roll hall... Its not so much about Rock & Roll. It more about the artist of Rock and Roll era, which includes many different types of music which all stem from the essence of early Rock & blues influences. I think as the years go by..We will see more deverse artist from the Rock & Roll Era with many different types of music. Rock of the 50's and 60's were somewhat similar, but you will find 70's & 80's branch out all over the place.

  • Hello? uh are all of you out there all there?

    I checked the list of nominees for the 2009 Hall of fame and Ms Summer is not among them.The nominees are becoming more and more less relavent and less appealling but whats new? They are Metallica

     The Stooges Little Anthony and the Imperials Bobby Womack Run DMC

  • Your right, I was thinking 2008. But Donna was on the list of the top 50, considered for 2009.. I guess you can call it pre- Nomination?...LOL Thanks
