The RRHOF is a complete joke. I only one one Benatar CD but Pat was a trailblazer in rock let alone her commercial success. Her accomplishments are so vast. She should have been there before Stevie.
I know this is a little old, just been meaning to post for awhile. The Hall has no credibility. Every time the Go Gos are mentioned, its brought up they were the first female band to write all their music and play it. Total joke because they induct artists all the time like Janet Jackson who does not write music nor write her own songs. She lip syncs so she refused to perform at the ceremony years ago because she knows she would be flamed. But that is what she has done her entire career. So why do they suddenly only care about artists writing music? Nothing against the Go Gos but they had one successful first album. The second one had one hit and the third one did so bad they ended the band. Seriously people.
