The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has officially announced next year's inductees: Pearl Jam, Tupac Shakur, Journey, Yes, Electric Light Orchestra and Joan Baez will all join the class of 2017.
Because nothing says "rock'n'roll" like Joan Baez.

Joan Baez? How about Tupac Shakur?

Well yes, I take your point. At least he’s loud and brash.

If loud and brash is the criterion, why not Igor Stravinsky?

Stravinsky’s dead.
Oh yes – so is Tupac Shakur.
Maybe next year then…LikeLike

Joan Baez at least has a sense of humour – she does a wicked impression of Dylan. None of those other inductees seems very “rock and roll” to me, or to have a sense of humour. Pearl Jam, Yes, Journey – not a barrel of laughs anywhere there.

Leonard Cohen shouldn’t be in there either. If it’s a Hall of Fame for popular music it should say so.
