I have mixed feelings about rappers being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Hip hop really doesn't have anything to do with rock music. I agree with Psy-Fi that it should really be called the Popular Music Hall of Fame.

I also agree that Link Wray should have been inducted a long time ago but most people don't know his influence on rock and roll. It didn't help that Link moved to Denmark and had a fairly erratic recording career for the last 30 years of his life.
