If nothing else, it gets Paul Rodgers in - and that's worth it. And, I think Bad Company is underrated.

It's already a joke. Why not Joe Cocker?

Aren't all his known songs covers?

It's not a songwriters award. How many hits did Elvis write?

Cocker had 13 consecutive studio albums hit the 200 - and I'm not saying it is a pop award, but to diminish his contributions by calling him a "cover" act - his covers were often head and shoulders better than the original, seems weak sauce in this case.

Plus, there are major and minor branches of rock - "blues rock" is one of the major branches and his was one of the best (and certainly most unique) voices of that branch.

Now, am I the biggest Joe Cocker fan in the world? No. But, again, clown show/joke as the HOF is, if:

A Tribe Called Quest
Cher
Mary J. Blige
Willie Nelson
George Michael
Missy Elliott

(and that's just going back 2 years)

are in, then Joe Cocker can be in the "Rock" (snicker) HOF.

Wow, do you even like classic rock ? This band should have been in years ago.

Looks like a " participation " HOF. It should be like the baseball HOF....very hard to get into. Another words, Elvis, The Beatles, The Stones, etc.

Yea, some of these look acceptable, only in comparison to past inductees.

No New Order? That alone shows how big of a joke this is.

Yet none of the ones you listed deserve to be in before Jethro Tull.
