A Tribe Called QuestEvery year I'm shocked by bands/artists who I thought were already inducted.. Foreigner isn't in the R&R Hall of fame yet?! |

Evidently not. Chalk it up to the "infinite wisdom" of the people who run the joint. Even without Jann Wenner at the helm, they're still short-sighted in a lot of ways (IMHO).

How the hell did Dolly Parton get in before Cher? Cher was well-known before Dolly arrived and has had a long legitimate pop/rock career. "I think there's something fishy going on."
For that matter, now that the Hall is no longer doing the "is she really rock?" game like they did with Linda Ronstadt, how the hell did Dolly Parton get in before Olivia Newton-John?
Is it possible that Dolly's management lobbied to get her inducted, so that she could pretend to reject the induction, so that she could then go on to accept and then record her rock masterpiece? Well, that's my conspiracy theory for the day, since our favorite conspiracy theorist no longer posts here.

I kind of doubt that either Dolly or her management would be so insane to pull a stunt like this, but then...well, stranger things have happened.
But the way the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame does things probably has nothing on the institution that Dolly was already long a member of, namely the Country Music Hall of Fame. It has a backlog of deserving artists, most of whom of course are no longer alive, that are still not in yet.
And as I like to point out, even if you exclude the Trio albums (though you obviously shouldn't, of course [LOL]), Linda's own impact on country music, especially with respect to the womenfolk in that genre that she has influenced, far exceeds anything Dolly may have had in rock, inclduing her Rockstar project.

I do miss his input. Rob is very interesting and fun. |
