Madonna, Mellencamp to Be Inducted Into Rock Hall of Fame

madonna is the best like or not...

I believe that all charting musicians from the 1950s and 1960s should be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame regardless of how many hits they had or how good they were or how influential. They should all be inducted just because they were a part of the foundation of Rock & Roll.

Madonna is the Most Successful Female Recording Artist of All time- ACCORDING TOTHE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS.
MADONNA HAS SO MANY #1'S & FOR ALL YOU HATERS OUT THERE U CAN JUST SUCK A NUT;p
MADONNA THE QUEEN OF POP, I MEAN HELLO SHE DESERVES TO BE IN THE RNR HALL OF FAME.
MADONNA ROCKS

MADONNA SO DESERVES A SPOT IN THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME FOR HER LONG CAREER.
MADONNA'S A LIVING LEGEND

INDUCT BERNIE TAUPIN INTO THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME AS A LYRICIST IN THE NON-PERFORMERS CATEGORY OR GIVE HIM THE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.


Singer-Songwriter and Pianist Elton John and his songwriting partner, Lyricist Bernie Taupin, were both inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1992, but only Elton John was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. This does not make any sense whatsoever. If there had not been a Bernie Taupin, there would not have been an Elton John and vice versa. Their music was a collaborative effort. Bernie Taupin should have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame back in 1994 as a Lyricist in the Non-Performers category, or given the Lifetime Achievement Award, the same year that Elton John was inducted.

Bernie Taupin didn’t just write lyrics exclusively for Elton John. Bernie Taupin also wrote the lyrics for songs performed and recorded by Ringo Starr, Rod Stewart, Cher, Alice Cooper, Melissa Manchester, Derringer, The Motels, Starship, Heart, Animotion, John Waite, Martin Page, and Peter Cetera, as well as for his own singing career, both as a solo artist and as a member of his own late-1990s Country-Western band, The Farm Dogs.

Elton John and Bernie Taupin comprise one of the longest running and most successful songwriting teams of all time. Bernie Taupin’s 40 years of collaborative work with Elton John alone should unquestionably qualify him for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Please induct Lyricist Bernie Taupin into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the Non-Performers category, or the Lifetime Achievement category. His induction is long overdue.

Madonna a "rocker!" I really think not! When I think of groups like: (Steppenwolf and The Moody Blues) not in the Hall Of Fame, I get really disgusted as a long time rock fan! Why they pick her over them is beyond me! I hope one day they are inducted! Also hope that "Stevie Ray Vaughan" including his band "Double Trouble" will be inducted in 2009! To exclude Stevie Ray and his band would be a gross injustice!

I can not believe the Beastie Boys have been around for at least 25 years! I remember 'License to Ill' - in 7th grade and they were the coolest thing in the world!

so wait madonna gets in and we cannot even get RUSH nominated? They have been around over 30 years and still sell out all over the world and sell millions of records? WTF????

ASSHOLE
