Yeah, I love Dolly too, but how does she in any way constitute “Rock and Roll”? I mean, there is also a Country Hall of Fame in Nashville. I would agree Tom Brady is the greatest NFL quarterback of all time, but I don’t think that qualifies him for the Baseball Hall of Fame.

And Dionne Warwick? Nothing against her either, but who would ever consider her music Rock and Roll?!? I mean, I understand there’s no clear-cut definition of Rock and / or Roll, and an artist that may not be in and of themselves be considered ‘Rock’ can still influence the genre, but the RARHOF has always seemed to be so wide-ranging to me as to be pointless. Why not just call it the “Music Hall of Fame”?
