Remind me again of the Madonna rock and roll songs

[Nitemare]

I still don't understand why she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Some peeps that aren't in
Chicago
Deep Purple
Neil Diamond
Alice Cooper
Ringo Star
Iggy Pop
KISS

 

[FoBoT]

she made a lot of money, i think that is one criteria they use

 

[meltdown75]

"Rock and Roll" is obviously a pretty broad and all-encompassing term here which includes other genres such as pop.

 

[Jhill]

I think she grabbed her crotch in a video once. That counts for something.

so Willy Nelson and Dolly Parton should be in as well?

Neil Diamond?? You are complaining that Madonna got in and isn't R&R but you want to put Neil Diamond in the R&R HOF?

they probably will make it in, but I'm also not doubting that everyone already in there was better than KISS in their own right. nothing against KISS but they were somewhat unremarkable unless you were a diehard fan.

Most acts in it arent rock and roll.

im not a realy kiss fan but 90 mill+ albums sold worldwide 24 gold albums many play and a few multy plat, IMO they are pretty deserving

 

[FoBoT]

i thought KISS wasn't in because everybody that votes hates Gene Simmons because he is a dick head

 

[paulxcook]

Madonna is exactly what I think of when I think of pop. No way does she belong in the RnR HoF.

 

[zinfamous]

So you think Ringo Starr deserves to be in?

Yeah there are some definite groups, people on that list that are as far away as you can get from R&R

Why not rename it Music hall of fame, because that is essentially what it is?

Pop and R&B != R&R

 

[KeithTalent]

Ummm, I'd say KISS should have gone in the hall before Blondie...wtf. Who did Deborah Harry blow to make it in? :roll:

KT

Call me in my life
Call me call me in a sweet design
Call me call me for your lover's lover's alibi
Call me on the line
Call me call me any anytime
Call me
Oh, call me, ooh ooh ah.
Call me my love.
Call me, call me any anytime.
