While most are incredible entertainers not all are R&R even by the most generous definition.

I would say Pat Benatar but she should have been in 30 years ago. I am not sure what took so long.

Can't say i was a big fan of hers, but it wouldn't bother me if she got in. Fela Kuti? I have no idea who that is.

The biggest omission that I saw from the list is Matchbox 20.

I'd say Kansas and America are big omissions.

the New York Dolls are likely offended by being classified as rock and roll, so they will probably boycott/
Perhaps 2 of the above would be considered rock and roll in a normal world...they just need to change to name to music hall of fame

Have to laugh at Dolly Parton and Lionel Richie as "Rock & Roll".

I agree that many of the artists listed aren't actually rock & roll artists......however, most of them are good at whatever genre they endeavored at. Duran Duran, on the other hand......

Elvis spanned multiple genres and has probably as many gold and platinum as any other singer.

Maybe Carly made it because Mick Jagger sang backup vocals on You're So Vain?
