Country and R&B are (not at all) rock & roll!

They ran out of great artists to induct and now they’re just choosing randomly. What a joke

There are already hip hop and country music halls of fame. Most of these acts belong in one or the other.

Garth shouldn't be nominated until he tells us where the bodies are.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will always be a joke. Don’t take them seriously.

Bad enough non-rock bands have been added, but now almost NO rock bands? What a joke.

Rock n' roll is an all-encompassing umbrella of contemporary and classic music. Like it or not, rock n' roll music shaped R&B, hip-hop, and yes, even country. These genres are not separate.

Aaliyah and Shakira are two legendary performers whose talent was undeniable even by the most hardcore "i hate pop music" people. Bikini Kill ushered in a new breed of punk. Garth Brooks pioneered the modern day contemporary country sound. Blink were the kings of pop punk at one point. All these artists, whether you like em or not, technically meet the criteria.

I swear, I feel ashamed for my generation that no one can appreciate music that was actually decent, and this shit only makes it worse.

Although I love Garbage, I don't think they are RRHOF worthy.

Sure, the genres all had a great influence on each other. They are still commonly considered different genres, whether you think they are or not.

I agree that they are all incredibly talented, influential, and legendary performers who are deserving of accolades - that does not make them rock artists. Now, Bikini Kill and Blink I can get behind, because punk is accepted to be a sub genre of rock and roll. I also agree with Garbage’s nomination, though I am not a huge fan. I just disagree with you that being an influential and legendary artist in any genre makes you worthy of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when there are respective Halls of Fame for those genres, just because each genre has influenced one another?

I’m not trying to sound like a gatekeeping asshole, I think all of these artists are very talented and influential, but I think it’s crazy to say that these genres are not different.

Blink-182, and Garbage are the only 2 rock acts on the list. I got a last-minute nominee, Conway Twitty

These are not rock subgenres.

You would never see Led Zeppelin winning an R&B award ever.

This is a list of popular acts that sold lots of albums and made a lot of record executives very expensive, and Bikini Kill. (Tho I'm not gonna be mad at Garbage getting nominated)
