Crap.

How the fuck is Kate Bush on there--and The Go-Go's, for that matter--and Pat Benatar isn't? Really, I question The New York Dolls and Fela Kuti, as well.

I real need to be put in charge over there...

This is a "Public Service Announcement": Jay-Z will be inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on his first year eligible for the honor.

Artists become eligible 25 years after the release of their first album, EP or single and Jay-Z released his debut album, "Reasonable Doubt," in 1996.

The 2021 Rock Hall class is a veritable who's who of modern influencers: Foo Fighters, The Go-Go's, Todd Rundgren, Carole King and the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll Tina Turner.

Could very well be the weakest class of inductees, ever. If this is where the Hall of Fame is now, it should just hold off inducting anyone new for a decade or so.

Jay-Z? I can't remember the last time I heard a Jay-Z song, honestly. And I never heard one on a rock station.

And Carole King? I mean, if she's going in, why not Streisand? Ridiculous.

And the Go-Go's? Please. Susanna Hoffs has more talent in her little finger than that whole band. And no one is crying for her or The Bangles to get in.
