Don't make me consume you with fireballs from my eyeballs and shoot bolts of lightning from my arse.

Bring it. I'm a big hairy American winning machine.

There is Motown, Disco, Rap, Blues, and Rock represented this year. It's art, and it all rocks to the right ear.

Cut that poetic shit. The Rock HOF stopped being about Rock years and years ago. I went and they had sections for Britney Spears and NSync.

Who are you to decide?

I don't decide. Whoever created the genre decided. Its ok if some don't fit. The Rock HOF isn't Rock.

Please define rock then for us.

Musically, rock has centered around the electric guitar, usually as part of a rock group with bass guitar and drums. Typically, rock is song-based music usually with a 4/4 time signature utilizing a verse-chorus form, but the genre has become extremely diverse and common musical characteristics are difficult to define. Like pop music, lyrics often stress romantic love but also address a wide variety of other themes that are frequently social or political in emphasis. Rock places a higher degree of emphasis on musicianship, live performance, and an ideology of authenticity than pop music.
