Long live Rock? 2022 R&R HOF

I understand that I’m not following the directions specified in the original post but I rarely have done so in my life & I’m happy.

Until the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame includes & in fact dedicates at least half a “ show” to Ian Andersen & Jethro Tull, I can’t take anything it does seriously. He is supremely talented, singer, song writer, plays flute & guitar very well & has created a vast & diverse body of work for over 50 years!! From beautiful acoustic pieces to progressive hard rock he & Tull could do it all well!  
 

I’ve seen the band many times since the release of Aqualung & Thick as A Brick, Stand Up and many other albums w/ differing  band versions, solo & w/ a full symphony orchestra. All fantastic! 
 

Don’t miss them & him if you truly love rock & roll! 
 

PS- Martin Barre’s guitar solo on Aqualung through Volti Audio Horn speakers & a Rogers amp is so much fun & cracks me up. Close to live! What’s it’s all about!

Obviously KISS is pathetic musically, I personally can't listen to it, but that was never the standard for R&RHoF. They did revolutionize the "show" part of the equation, and deserve recognition for their achievement and vast influence.

Dolly Parton is an accomplished musician, but R&R?  That's ridiculous.  She has comedic talent too, and is no doubt lhao.  

Interviewer: "How do you feel about all those "dumb blonde jokes? Do you feel insulted?

Dolly: "Oh no!  I think they're funny!  Besides, (conspiratorily), I'm not really blonde."

Lionel Richie, Dionne Warwick? Good musicians, but I'm sure that they never once considered their music R&R.  The HoF has no credibility at all, even less than most such awards. Even the baseball HoF has become a joke - and unlike music, there are objective standards that could have been used for that.

Unsurprisingly, someone like this isn't 

One of the OTHER guitar innovators the rock gods listened to

@kb54 - I love all those artists you mentioned! I somehow wonder if they give a damn about whether they're in the Rock Hall or not. I don't much care about 'Grammies' either - music ain't a contest! Change the name of the HoF to 'Popular Music HoF' and fewer people would whine about it.... 

Rock is Garbage .
