They really need to change the name to music hall of fame.

@FreeSpirit1 I feel the same way.

To build a trope that rnr was given birth somewhere specific and knowledge of it lays in the hands of collegiate musical scholars.
The best of it was never part of the strict structured intellectualism. Neither splashed on the early pre consumerist covers of the Rolling Stone. Where was Jimi, Jim and Janis on year one? There was no excuse for that.
The whole of it is dipped in American consumerism and the first of many officially "cancel culture" (aka snubbery) now standard practice by the button down corporate money bags.
Don't get me wrong I loved the idea of halls of fame but know that soul blues or funk even had regional heroes. This dumping of everything into one gigantic category only dilutes everything.
I only say all this because I was always a listener of everything and know what's been snubbed. No matter where I go and talk to younger ppl they are shocked at what they never heard of.
Here's an example. Until 5 years after I mentioned it this wasn't even on their radar but was humongous in its time. Have a listen.
