What do you call Rock and Roll?

If you ask me this is a no brainer but for all of you that don't follow this as close as I do, the great Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just came out with their new list of nominees for 2010 and here they are:

ABBA, Darlene Love, Donna Summer, Genesis, Jimmy Cliff, KISS, Laura Nyro, LL Cool J, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Chantels, The Hollies, and The Stooges.

Now I look at this list and agree with some of the choices on here. But I've got to say that the rock hall should change it's name because to be a true Rock and Roll hall of fame how can you nominate the likes of ABBA, Donna Summer and LL Cool J? No offense to any of these artists. They are great writers and singers. They are all talented individuals. They are not Rock and Roll any more than Madonna, oh wait, she's already IN the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

My question is, how can you nominate ABBA, LL Cool J and Donna Summer who are not true rock and roll artists and not nominate Heart, Electric Light Orchestra and (this is the one that really kills me!) Alice Cooper? I mean, who comes up with this list? What group of morons are out there trying to be politically correct and, in the process, skipping over true rock and roll artists to vote in people like Run DMC, Madonna and R.E.M.? It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel (not so) fine. Pop artists, rap artists, while true rock and roll artists get dissed year after year.

This is the first year that KISS was nominated. At first I thought if they got inducted they should not show up at the induction ceremony. Show the rock hall that they don't care anymore. But then I said, "They're better than that! They can be bigger than the rock hall and say yeah you dissed us for many years but we're here now and here to stay!"

But back to my point, of the 2 groups of 3 artists that I posted up at the top. The first group consisting of ABBA, LL Cool J and Donna Summer and the second group consisting of ELO, Heart and Alice Cooper; which of these 2 groups most says rock and roll to you? Stupid question right? EXACTLY! Come on rock hall. Either change your name to Our Favorite Artist's Hall of Fame or keep it rock artists. I mean come on what song of Madonna's or ABBA's shouts Rock and Roll?
