That’s why we decided to round up a list of artists that are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but absolutely deserve to be one day. Tina TurnerThe legendary singer is already inducted in the Rock Hall of Fame, alongside her ex-husband Ike Turner, but Tina Turner hasn’t been inducted as a solo artist yet. The B-52′sIt’s a travesty that The B-52′s have never even been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. While the Rock Hall doesn’t have a ton of country artists inducted, legends Johnny Cash and Brenda Lee are in the Hall of Fame, so there really isn’t an excuse for Parton’s absence. OutKastRap artists have slowly but surely been getting recognized by the Rock Hall, so it’s only a matter of time before OutKast gets its due.
