No kidding. Pat Benatar yes. That’s about it.
It’s the Hall of FAME.
It’s also ROCK AND ROLL! Sorry Lionel and Carly.

Whoa, I'm old and out of touch. There's two acts in there that I don't think I've ever heard of. And you don't think Simon's eight post-season home runs don't merit consideration?

Pickings are still slim.

Wtf are some of these even going on here? I’ve never heard of 3 of them, but Shinehead O’Connor? Why? For one crappy song?
First, it’s the “Rock and Roll” HOF.
Second, It’s the Hall of FAME! Not the Hall of Oh yeah, I remember them/him/her. Who comes up with this crap?

“They” need a pop (POPular music) hall of fame. Hell, HALF (or more) of the already inducted weren’t ROCKERS at all.

Not the Hall of Oh yeah, I remember them/him/her. Who comes up with this crap? Sinead O'Connor just died right before football season. There was a couple posts about it on here, where her name was misspelled, which seems fitting. She in no way deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, but she died relatively young at 56. If she gets in, they need to pull the plug on the "Hall of Fame" and start work on a real Hall of Fame. |

Not the Hall of Oh yeah, I remember them/him/her. Who comes up with this crap? I hated that song, even if it was written by Prince. She stood up for what she believed in, and got knocked down a bit for it. For that, I respect her. But her music? Nah. It wasn't good enough or important enough or influential enough to make it into the Hall of Fame. She's a footnote of the late 80s. A trivia question.
She'll probably make it in, but Mariah Carey and her damned Christmas song deserve each other. Lock them up in a soundproof room and put the song on repeat. Yuck. All I want for Christmas is spew.
