    I honestly forget which one is Ice Cube.

    Is he the one that that's on NCIS: Topeka, Law & Order:SVU:ATV:CSI or the one in 21 Jump Street and SWAT.

    Or the white dude who stole Pressure from Queen and David Copperfield?

    Can they just change the name to the musician hall of fame already?

    Didn't Chaka Kahn get in already with Rufus?

    Janet Jackson is not rock and roll.

    Not sure why Ice Cube (Boyz in the hood, XXX 2, Fridays...) is on that list at all. Hip Hop is def not rock and roll. There are many more black rockers to choose from. One that comes to mind immediately is Buddy Miles (Drummer for Jimi Hendrix).

    *-James Jamerson- Studio gun for motown, largely uncredited, quite possibly the greatest bass player to walk the earth if there is a greatest when it comes to music.

    Well he's probably considered part of the "Jimi Hendrix Experience" http://www.rockhall.com/inductees/the-jimi-hendrix-experience/ or at least overshadowed by Jimi's skills on the axe.

    But on the theme of black rockers....... for you punk rockers out there: BAD BRAINS!

    HR, Daryl, Earl --- I saw those fucking lunatics a half dozen times when I was in college, great times.
    I will still pop on "Rock for Light" or "I against I" when I am working out to get pumped.

    Buddy Miles? Then you can throw in Billy Preston.

    Considering the influential roots of rock it's ironic how the black presence in the 'rock' side of rock esp. nowadays has been marginalized (when not ignored altogether) with artists and audiences of every racial stripe being shuttled and pigeonholed by the merry marketeers, resulting in some going the way of the dodo bird ……and the white cornerback-lol.

    Forty (40!) years ago Clive Davis pulled his financial support plug on these rockers out of Detroit because they stuck to their guns and wouldn't change their band name ('Death') to something more acce$$ible like 'Megadeth' or 'Death Cab for Cutie' or 'Eagles of Death Metal' …..

    "Ahead of punk, ahead of their time." - Jack White to the NYT, 2009



    If Madonna's in why not Dionne Warwick? If Hip Hop's represented why not Eric B. & Rakim? Why not half the artist list of the Philadelphia International Records label (or Phily Soul altogether)? The Five Satins? Joe Tex? …
