Would she fare any better in a Pop Hall of Fame? (GIF via GIPHY) The always-controversial Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced its 16 nominees for inclusion this year, and in spite of being eligible for many years, Pat Benatar has been snubbed again.
On the bright side, the Go-Go's have gotten a nod, and the list is diverse — women, Black artists, soft rock, hard rock, hip-hop.
I wonder which five will make the cut? How do you deny Tina Turner? She seems a shoo-in.
