The 2023 R&R HOF inductee list was released. 

This is who made the cut in the 'performers' category and will be inducted -

Kate Bush 
Sheryl Crow 
Missy Elliott 
George Michael 
Willie Nelson
Rage Against the Machine
The Spinners

This is who didn't make the cut -

Iron Maiden
Joy Division/New Order
Cyndi Lauper
Soundgarden
A Tribe Called Quest
The White Stripes
Warren Zevon

Without getting into what is or what isn't Rock and Roll - and just looking at the lists in regards to some other qualities - like originality, influence, skill, talent, meaningful contribution, etc to music during their prime or the future of music. With that - how in the world is Warren Freakin' Zevon NOT on that first list! It's a travesty. I'm a R&R HOF defender - more so as the argument is usually around what is or isn't R&R - and my definition is pretty broad. But to not induct Warren makes me little less of a defender. The flip side of the argument might be that Warren would have wanted nothing to do with them anyway....
