Hey shoes, just curious what you think of this year's class being inducted. I love Todd Rundgren's music but many being inducted I have never heard of. Not even sure what is considered rock n roll these days! But there will always be the Blues...

Spanky- I don't want to malign artists who might be favorites of others. I wouldn't' have chosen some of the inductees and I think, as you suggest, one can make a good case that the RRHoF has gone way beyond what I think of as Rock and Roll or even ROR roots music, but I guess that is subjective on my part.
I will say that the range of music that I appreciate has really expanded as I have gotten older. This very forum has been great in introducing me to some of that music.

As I reflect on it- this was a pretty good class. I didn't realize that Tina wasn't already in, a bit surprised by that.
