Time to Rename and Reframe the Rock Hall of Fame

TL;DR Summary
OutKick columnist Austin Perry argues the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s latest nominees are top‑heavy with non‑rock acts and overlook major rock/metal bands, calling the branding misleading. He suggests renaming it to a broader “Music Hall of Fame” and rethinking inductees to better reflect the rock genre’s legacy, noting debates over Madonna, ABBA, Tupac, Mariah Carey, and others as examples of the Hall’s evolving (and controversial) identity.
