@ninjawife , Seeing Carole King's name made me think of Tapestry. I played the heck out of that album.

I most sincerely hope that Carole King and Tina Turner get their just due. The others would be ok, but it doesn't matter as much to me.

I voted online more than a few times - whenever I remembered. Always the same five:

Carole King

Foo Fighters

Todd Rundgren

Tina Turner

Dione Warwick.

Did Dione not make the final cut? I guess she's not really what I think of when I think rock n roll, but still very deserving.

I don't remember seeing billy preston as part of the list I was voting from!?

Rock n roll my foot.

where's Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Boston, or ELO?

It took them forever to induct Rush, and Rush even acknowledged that in their speech.

I'm actually sort of shocked it took this long for Carol King to get the nod.

I think only those in the Performer category were in the online voting. The others were in different categories. There are a lot of musicians in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that I would not consider Rock and Roll.

JMO but Jay Z doesn't deserve to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

So glad that Carole King, Tina Turner & Foo Fighters finally made it!!

I'd definitely like to see Kate Bush be recognized. Many of these artists are way past due being inducted. I wouldnt include Jay-Z in the lineup.

I am always so surprised that some I would have thought would have been in there long ago are just being nominated!

Maybe they have broadened the category of rock n roll?

But goodness-Tina Turner?!

Carole King? (though I can see why she may not have been thought of as rock n roll, maybe more folk).

What do you think?

@on the bayduring Tina Turner's solo career, she most certainly sang Rock and Roll. If you check the link I posted upthread it will give you an idea why she belongs there. Even Carol King.

@gertrudecloset,

I know, that's what I was saying too!

Tina Turner should have been in there years ago.

rufus featuring chaka khan......snubbed again in the nominations. they should have been in before jay z for sure.

The two I'm surprised about are Carole King and Tina Turner. Would have thought they would have been voted in years ago.

Carole King's 'Tapestry' album was a huge seller back in the day, and she has written many songs for other people and been in the music biz forever.

Tina Turner. 'Proud Mary' herself singing with Ike and her solo career. She's been around forever. She was 'The Acid Queen' for crying out loud. She should have been in years ago too. jmho

@Posh Poodle What you said! Rush and Iron Maiden among my favorites. Maiden not worthy? Gimme a break!
