I think they mentioned on the news this evening that both Carole King & Tina Turner were already in the RRHOF, but with their ex-spouses, so now they're also in as solo artists.

While I am happy to see certain artists on the list, a couple I don't agree with and I'm almost embarrassed to say a couple I have never even heard of.  😕. 

 

But I'm still waiting for 3 Dog Night to be on the list.  🐕🐕🐕🌛

 

And a few other groups such as Kansas and Grand Funk Railroad.  🚂

Re: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2021 Inductees

There are only 2 performers on this list that are worthy, in my opinion.  Carole King and Tina Turner.   But I'm an old fuddy-duddy and haven't even heard of some of them.  Who are these people?!?!?!?

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


CAROLE KING?  Really?  Rock and roll? 


Yea. Really. Look at some of those inducted over the years (and some being inducted this year) and tell me they're rockers... Hate to break it to you, but right or wrong this hall of fame became more about music than rock long ago...

FINALLY they inducted Todd Rundgren!!   Way overdue.  Yes on Carole King and Tina Turner too.  The GoGos and Jay-Z, not so much.

According to their Showtime documentary., the Go-Go's are the most successful all-female band of all time.

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.


@gertrudecloset  What do you mean you hope they "get their just due"? These are the inductees, not the nominees.
