Ronnie Spector helped pave the way for female pop artists. It's about damn time that she got some recognition. The other girls did their thing, sure, but Ronnie is cited as an influence by more artists than people think. This organization is full of it, always has been, but for once they seem to have gotten something right.
What's really bull**** is that The Stooges and MC5 are still not in. Nor are the Shangri-Las. Laaaame.
