Musical career
Genres
R&B pop hip hop dance |
LMAO Wikipedia.
Other "non-rock" inductees as per Wikipedia:
Aretha Franklin
Marvin Gaye
Run-DMC
Stevie Wonder
Public Enemy
Bob Marley
NWA
ABBA
and plenty more. The "rock n roll" part is irrelevant, the HOF is to acknowledge legendary musicians. Focusing on the "rock n roll" part is the low-hanging fruit and it says more about what people think about women and non-white people than it does about the nominees.
