Isn't it called the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?" How did NWA get in?

[Enfuego]

No doubt they were very instrumental in many respects but they aren't a rock and roll band?

What am I missing here?

Others in:

Deep Purple
Steve Miller Band
Cheap Trick
Chicago

True. The museum has expanded over the years and is not just limited to Rock and Roll anymore.

 

[Hamilbet]

it has evolved. they should really just call it the popular music hall of fame, but thats a mouthful.

Joan Jett was more influential with The Runaways. Benetar probably deserves it also.
