The bands that are in the Hall of Fame belong there, or most of them do anyway. But these bands are getting old and there are no new Rock N Roll bands coming up to take their place. It seems that anybody under 40 who gets up on stage with a microphone is trying to do hip-hop or rap these days. That's mostly what I see on Saturday Night Live, is some version of hip-hop.

The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame needs to start up a "Rock University" to teach these kids how to make great music.
