Why was aretha franklin inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame??????!
Question: Inductees do not necessarily have to be "rock and roll" artists. Aretha Franklin was inducted because she heavily influenced the shape and sound of rock and roll as well as influenced current and past rock stars.
To quote the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website:
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honors the legendary performers, producers, songwriters, disc jockeys and others who have made rock and roll the force that it is in our culture. For a decade and a half, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation has been nominating and electing those figures, and honoring them at an annual ceremony that has become one of the most celebrated events of the year, and certainly one of the hottest tickets in rock.
Check out the complete list, and see how many are played on the "rock" station.

she was abit rocky, pink caddy, was rocky, plus almost all music has mix of other types music. if you dont have any old school r&b you wouldnt have much hip hop, or rap today. i think it was metallica that took an orchestra on tour with them to show that even metal has classical in it. that lady deserves it, chain of fool, respect, come on those rocked!
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a big joke. No one cares about it. Who would want to go to Cleveland anyway?
