The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame needs to adapt to the changing times or risk becoming irrelevant

The award is in its 35th year and has faced increasing amounts of criticism from artists, publications and fans alike in the recent past. Here's what makes the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame not-so-rock-and-roll anymore.
PUBLISHED MAR 14, 2019

On March 29, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will yet again induct a new class of legends into their ranks. This year's inductees include Radiohead, The Cure, Janet Jackson, Stevie Nicks, Roxy Music, Def Leppard, and The Zombies. The final seven acts were whittled down from a long list of 15 after a committee of 1,000 artists, historians, and music industry members gave their valued opinions, combined with the official fan vote. This means several worthy acts including Rage Against the Machine, Devo, Kraftwerk, MC5, Rufus and Chaka Khan, and Todd Rundgren will, unfortunately, have to wait another year before possible inclusion into the esteemed Rock Hall.
