Better late than never. The delay was ridiculous. Now Pat Benatar seems to be the WTF omission.

I can't envision Gordon Lightfoot in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame-If there was a museum devoted to folk music,he'd definitely get in.

Let's not forget that rock and roll as we know it originated in black culture and developed from various black music genres, primarily the blues. And, while it pains me to say it, even rap music falls in the rock and roll universe, since it is an offshoot of R&B. |

Madonna is pop. Pop is not considered rock and roll by cultural definition. And she got inducted in 2008.

You could argue that, even though Madonna was a pop singer, that she did more to influence rock and roll than many other musicians that are considered rock acts, due to her attitude, style, views on sex, what she did for music videos, etc.

The Doobie Brothers will be embarking on a major tour later this year-They will be joined by Michael Mc Donald who joined the group in 1975.
