Yes it is....IF he would like to be included.

Well, As I said months ago - Madonna will get in so they can sell the broadcast rights to the highest bidder. If Leonard Cohen was the draw (by the way - I like Leonard), the show would be broadcast on the Weather Channel.

Then again, the Weather Channel is the most watched cable channel. You understand where I am coming from.

Still...no one ever considers nominating Neil Diamond?

Looks like a good list for a change. Madonna deserves it, as much as I rag on her LA ISLA BONITA and LIVE TO TELL were both the beginning of some really good work (lot of crap in between the good ones but the good ones are ALWAYS there.....

My personal tastes rank Neil Diamond far above Madonna.

I wonder if Mike Smith will be able to make an appearance?

Its about time for the DC5!

horrible selections

I've got no problem inducting Madonna into a Hall of Fame, given her accomplishments, but if it's this one, they really should change the name. Rock & Roll, she ain't. She's not the first misplaced legend either.

Nothing in any of the Madonna music I have ever heard suggests she has ever even OWNED a rock and roll record.

The expression "rock n roll" in the title is pretty meaningless and always has been..its just a catch-all expression to give the whole thing a snappy title...people get very worked up every year over taking the title literally for some reason...

lets face it, most of the great music acts have been inducted by now

Didn't Jethro Tull once win an award for either heavy metal or was it "Hard" Rock artist?

I say BOYCOTT anything that has to do with the shit that is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame..Madonna-Rock and Roll??????? I dont freakin' think so....what the hell does she have to do with rock and roll...Its INSANE...

FYI: Madonna has no "good ones"

Maybe Peter, Paul and Mary along with the Kingston Trio will be admitted to the Hip-Hop hall of fame.

Yes, in 1988 Tull's Crest Of A Knave album won the Grammy for Best Heavy Metal Or Hard Rock Performance. They are, however, NOT in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

Madonna DOES NOT DESERVE IT! She is not Rock and Roll! Come on! So many jokers get into that hall of fame who aren't rock and roll!!!

she doesnt, but then again, neither do the following, strictly speaking:

Bobby Darin (1990)
Simon & Garfunkel (1990)
Bob Marley (1994)
The Jackson Five (1997)
The Mamas and the papas (1998)
Miles Davis (2006)

Nor the acts inducted as 'early influences' such as Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger etc.

theyre all inducted due to musical accomplishment, and as the most successful female recording artist of all time, in that respect she fits the bill.

Gazza - I'm sorry you feel that way.

Its no comment on the artists in question. I just think it bizarre that anyone in 2007 a) takes this Jann Wenner ego-fest seriously or b) takes the 'rock n roll' aspect of the hall of fame name literally.

(i don't care about the hof btw, i just love the "Gazza - I'm sorry..." threads.)

LOL

Christ - how many of THOSE threads do we need!

My personal tastes rank The Chipmunks higher than Madonna.

Glad the DC5 made it.

Well if somebody starts a "Their are too many Gazza threads" thread. Then we really have sunk to a new low.LOL

sweetcharmedlife,

Now that you have reached that age, do you try to do all those things the best you can?

Or u JUST wanted the LAST WORD ?

ps
sh1tty list
The good ones are already in.

So now we have Madonna,
and still no Alice Cooper.

WTF ??

Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 should have not been inducted years ago either besides Madonna. There are british invasion, san francisco and hard rock and heavy metal bands that deserve to be in the hall of fame over that stuff.

Cohen's induction is long overdue in my book.

still no Iggy or the Stooges, if I'm not mistaken, though. A serious oversight.
