Bill Wyman (not the one from The Rolling Stones) has ranked all 240 artists in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for Vulture.

He’s wrong, of course.

First, far too many of the artists included aren’t even rock and roll musicians. Eliminating the country, blues, and hip-hop artists would greatly lessen the load. For example, James Brown is listed as the fifth-best inductee. I would say James Brown never played a lick of rock and roll in his entire career and is flat-out a funk artist. However, Prince is most definitely a funk artist, too. He just played a lot of rock, too.

I could go on, but it isn’t worth it. These kinds of lists are designed to illicit debate and arguments.

Sigh.
