The R&R Hall of Fame has become a popularity contest; how could The Carpenters, especially Karen not be inducted is beyond comprehension; not only were they the best selling group of the 70's but garnered two Grammy's beating out amongst others, The Beatles. In addition, you're talking about the greatest female singer of our era. Apparently they are not considered rock, what a joke, the current crop (2016) of inductees are all rock based? How disrespectful and a disgrace ignoring them is.

KAREN CARPENTER IS THE GREATEST FEMALE SINGER IN MUSIC HISTORY AND IN ROCK N ROLL TOO. ALSO KAREN CARPENTER IS ONE OF THE WORLDS GREATEST ALL TIME DRUMMER. KAREN CARPENTER IS THE VERY BEST SINGER IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC.

I agree that they should be in "any music Hall of Fame". As a pro musician myself I can honestly say Karen is the most naturally gifted music artist I have ever seen. Like magic that girl was.

If thee's a need to include more women drummers into the hall of fame, Karen Carpenter should be an obvious choice.

I have listened to rock music for over 60 years. Karen Carpenter should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

To whom it may concern;
I believe Karen Carpenter music and wonderful voice dephinately should be in the rock and roll hall of fame. Today I still marvel at her beautiful voice and songs Richard and here wrote.
Please put them in soon. They deserve it!

In her short time performing she more than proved herself.
