2008 Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Inductees

[Linderbee]

Leading the list of inductees for 2008 is none other than pop superstar Madonna, who tops a roster that includes heartland rocker John Mellencamp, baritone brooder Leonard Cohen, instrumentalists the Ventures, British '60s rockers Dave Clark Five, classic Philly soul songwriting team Gamble and Huff, and blues harmonica player Little Walter in the sideman category.

She belongs. I have more of an issue with John Mellencamp. That one's a stretch.

With the way that it is setup, she belongs somewhere. She just isn't a "rocker"

A name change pretty much needs to happen IMO.

Not in the Rock & Roll Hall of fame.

Then there are A LOT of current hall of famers that would have to be booted out using that philosophy. You may be right, but I wonder if they feel it would be worth it.

It's basically the Music Hall of Fame.

No way Mellencamp deserves to get in before Rush.
