I agree with Willie and Warren. Although Willie isn't rock n roll, looking at the earlier inductees that doesn't seem to matter.

Sheryl Crow maybe, but Cindy Lauper? Meh. I'd rather focus on who's not in and not nominated, who I think should be in:

J. Geils Band
Ted Nugent
BTO
Bad Company
Rory Gallagher
Foghat
Grand Funk Railroad

Tell me that there are any nominees this year who out rocked those acts.

Who cares?? A bunch of self-styled "experts" are telling you who the best performers are without asking or caring about your opinion.

I've been a Willie Nelson fan for more than sixty years. He's not a rock and roller, but "they" want him in the hall of fame. It's as meaningless as the Oscars.

I'm surprised Cyndi Lauper's not in there after all these years. She's in my hall of fame after hearing her "Heartaches by the Number". She's more country on this one than anybody on country radio, and a good woman to boot.

Iron Maiden: Classic heavy metal band.

Soundgarden: RIP Chris Cornell. The best vocalist of his generation. I was lucky enough to see him at Red Rocks a couple of years before he died.

Rage Against the Machine: Tom Morello is amazing.

I would also pick the White Stipes, but aren't they a new band?

As much as I love Willie, he is country.

Willie just won a Grammy for best country album of the year. It's a good one.
