The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has pulled the curtain back on six inductees who’ll be formally ushered in as the class of 2021, with Jay-Z, the Go-Go’s, Tina Turner, Todd Rundgren, Carole King and Foo Fighters all invited to make the trip to Cleveland.
Anyone have a problem with the list of performers going into the HOF? I was lucky enough to attend the location and it amazing. personally would not have a rapper in the hall. Agree all others deserve to be in. The Go-Go's are an interesting choice. I saw a documentary on them and their story is pretty cool. Longtime Carole King fan here. Tina Turner a solid choice. Foo F and Rundren are ok but I think others are more deserving. Comments?

Interesting tc. One thing we as a group have not shared is our ages. I'm in my mid-sixties and I think that could has something to do with selections. I'm sure there are some not in that most would wonder "why are THEY" not in the HOF!

Zevon should have been in decades ago. J. Geils Band the local guys a no brainer if you saw them live. Plenty of others also deserving in my opinion.

Warron Zevon is a glaring omission IMO. Of the current group I think Tina and Carol King are clear choices. Todd is a personal fav so I'm biased in favor of him.

Covered by many, but there is nothing like the original. Throw in some Cadillac Ranch for fun.

I'd put him in just as a songwriter, then you add to it his performing... As with many who are gone, I'm glad we have the permanent record of his brilliance that we can continue to enjoy. Thanks hoop.
