Actually, I really like the assortment of this induction -- though I don't care much about the R'N'R Hall of Fame, it's nice to see so many different types of music being honored this year. (Rap, moody doomed love songs, delectable pop-funk, 60s power pop, and uh, I actually really liked half of that album that had "Pink Houses" on it.)

I wouldn't challenge Madonna's nomination at all -- whatever you call it, rock or pop or whatever, "Like A Prayer" is just great music -- but I wonder how I'll feel down the line when the tacky 90s boy bands and Spears clones start getting talked about as "inspirational" and "legendary."
