I never payed much attention to it in the past, but lately people have been talking so I looked up some information. I was curious what artists had already been inducted, and I was pretty surprised at the list I found. I consider myself to have a good knowledge of rock and roll music. Even if it's an artist I've never bothered to listen to, I've probably still heard of them if they were very influential. But there are so many artists who have been inducted that I've never heard of. Clyde McPhatter, Bobby Blue Band, Little Willie John, The Moonglows...who are these people??? Maybe I'm not as well educated on rock as I thought. There's also a nominee this year called Afrika Bambaataa...WHO? I also think they've put some very NON-rock & roll artists in here. Aretha Franklin, The Supremes, Tina Turner, Bob Marley, the Bee Gees, and now Grandmaster Flash and Madonna!?!?!?!! Are you kidding me? They deserve recognition, but rock and roll they ain't! Am I wrong here?
