      <![CDATA[I meant no disrespect to either of them. They're both great -- but if we can't agree that one of the most famous rappers of all time and someone who identifies as the Queen of Disco are not, strictly speaking, rock and roll artists, then I'm not sure what to tell you.

      <![CDATA[You had me until you dissed LL & Donna Summer. Maybe you should not get so hung up on what the term "Rock & Roll" means-- to you, not to others-- and focus more on getting deserving artists in, no matter what their sub-genre is (Mats, Sonic Youth, etc- but also Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.)
