Talented and influential, and I don't think she is a bad fit for the hall because of the sub-genres she works in. But she got in way too early. In what sane universe does Bonnie Raitt leapfrog over Queen, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, and so on, into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Marginal HOF worthy, why she was inducted way more ealier than Carly Simon and Pat B? She is not that important in popular music history although she has some famous songs and albums. Her industry connection is too huge...

She recieved more votes than Queen, Steely Dan and Aerosmith in 2000? It is a crime!!!
