I question some of the inductees every year.Isn't it time to drop the rock'n roll and just call it the music hall of fame?

1. Look I dig Leonard Cohen and all
I do, Suzanne, Hallelujah, Tower Of Song-great stuff but why isn't Neil Diamond in The Rock N Roll HofF? Look at his early works the Cherry Cherry, Solitary Man, Sweet Caroline, Kentucky Woman, I'm A Believer, Cracklin' Rosie, Holly Holy, I Am I Said-all the way up to Longfellow Serenade-great stuff-true Rock n roll too...he should be in there. I'm glad Mellencamp and the DC5 made it last night..

2. And the UB40 hit "Red, Red Wine" which I believe he wrote.
I don't follow the inductees too closely but I always assumed Diamond was in long ago. But it is time to drop the R & R. When the museum was founded I always thought it would be an exclusive club for the greats in R & R. It stopped being that soon on and now it almost includes every one in music.

3. yes he did
I think he also wrote A Little Bit Me and A Little Bit You-which the Monkees did. He really should be in.
