I think its time for the definition of who and what belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to be tightened. Madonna is a prospective nominee for the next ballot. The Beastie Boys are also on the ballot and they should be.

Madonna on the other hand bugs me. Is she really Rock and Roll? She's pop music thats for sure. To me what belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame is Bass, drums and guitar with a few exceptions that I won't get into. I have also noticed rap stars going into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Doesn't rap or hip hop deserve its own hall of fame?

Of course in any musical category you are going to have crossovers. The Beastie Boys could go into the Rap hall of fame if there is one? or the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I just think that some artists recently have not been put where they belong. They all deserve notice but they need to put in the right hall of fame here. Maybe Alan Cross can debate this with me.
