Aren't most of her popular songs covers of other people's work or written by other people.
She's probably the female face of 70's political folk music, but musically I don't know she was all that deserving, was she?
What are you so excited about? Are they your personal Jesus or something?
Buffett is the musical equivalent of Raffi (the children's singer). (look him up if you have never heard him).
He's a no talent ass clown.

Maybe he Just Can't get Enough.
to be included in that grouping. Proof positive that the RnR HoF isn't worth the time it took to read this thread.
J Geils is a great live band. Peter Wolfe could work a room like no other. Natefit used to live in his building, maybe he's lurking and could regale us with a tale or two.
Forget about this corporate, over-produced crap from the 70s

I actually liked this line from Billy Corgan when he was giving the induction speech for Pink Floyd at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
As far as Baez is concerned, she wasn't even much of a pathway toward modern R and R. She was a sweet voiced folk singer whose biggest claim to fame was sleeping with and helping introduce Bob Dylan to the world.
Yeah you have no idea what you're talking about.
This isn't a bad list, both in terms of influence and output. Bad Brains and Yes would be enough for me.
a genre of popular music that originated and evolved in the United States during the late 1940s and early 1950s,from African-American musical styles such as gospel, jazz, and rhythm and blues, with country . . . In the earliest rock and roll styles of the late 1940s and early 1950s, either the piano or saxophone was often the lead instrument, but these were generally replaced or supplemented by guitar in the middle to late 1950s. The beat is essentially a blues rhythm with an accentuated backbeat, the latter almost always provided by a snare drum.
Re-ig-KNEE-tion!
Don't ad managers understand that some ads make you want to buy anything else? I would go back to rabbit ears rather than buy Direct TV after that garbage.
Here, only Pearl Jam sticks out as a true no brainer, and I like a lot of these artists. Jane's Addiction, e.g., just a solid band. But current critera warrants:
Yes
Tupac
The Cars
Bad Brains
Journey
ELO

Pearl Jam still makes good music (Riot Act sucked). But damn, their early stuff is just peak rock. Ten, Vitalogy, Vs, then up to the criminally underrated No Code.

which hardly matters since it's really the Music, except for country and jazz, Hall of Fame, how is Joan Baez not already in?

I kinda agree with this. Diamonds and rust is just an exceptional tune but I don't know what else she really wrote.
WHEN?????
WHEN?????
C'mon Beez, you know the answer to this.
He'll get in accidentally, like a martyr.

HA! And when the day comes, his "bust" will assuredly be placed in splendid isolation.
