Madonna to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

As much as I actually respect Madonna (just a teensy bit), this is an embarrassment.

Sure she's a Pop diva. She's earned that title. But doesn't anyone know the difference anymore?

It's an atrocity when you consider just a few of those who have NOT been inducted yet including...

B-52's
Jeff Beck
Blood, Sweat & Tears
Boston
The Cars
Chicago
Joe Cocker
Alice Cooper
Deep Purple
Dire Straits
Donovan
The Doobie Brothers
Electric Light Orchestra
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Genesis
Grand Funk Railroad
Hall & Oates
Heart
The Hollies
Iron Maiden
Jethro Tull
Journey
Judas Priest
Kansas
King Crimson
KISS
Little Feat
The Steve Miller Band
The Monkees
The Moody Blues
Ted Nugent
Rush
Steppenwolf
Styx
Three Dog Night
War
Yes
Warren Zevon

Thre are many more much more deserving.

I'm confused is this list just the top 200 songs, or are all these people in the HOF? How do you get your hands on the whole list of inductees?

And I can't find any info on Twisted Sister. There must have been an oversight somewhere. But they are in the Long Island Music Hall of fame.

Oh and also, I remember when Madonna was nothing but a cheap ripoff of Cyndi Lauper. I spit on Madonna!

"Atrocity" indeed. And her induction sadly invalidates the "rock-n-roll" hall of fame as meaning anything. Britney Spears will be artist of the century, and perhaps Paris Hilton will receive the Pulitzer for her memoirs. Jerry Springer or Howard Stern as Time's man of the year.

Nothing would surprise me, these days.

Hall of Shame.

Hopefully most of those great musicians (at least rock icons) listed above know full well the R&R HOF is nothing but a joke.

Same as the Grammys, which awards sheer commercial success attained mostly by talentless hacks and posers with great agents or just lucky to have been the flavor of the day.

They're following the lead of the Nobel Prize lackeys.

Why not also, add Donnie Osmond because, He's "a little Rock N Roll..."for those old enough to know-If not, see Oprah this week-I saw a trailer for an Osmond reunion. You DO watch Oprah when you are registering names, don't you?

That might be a cry for help....

I'm going to nominate Peter Allen.

When mah baby, when mah baby smiles at me ah go to Rio...

Man, that guy could ROCK!!!!!
