Rock Hall Rage: Paul Rodgers, Joe Cocker, and the Joy Division/New Order Dilemma

Coming up… I’m trying to keep my cool and not throw a chair through the window as I give you my top 6 picks for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 14 are nominated, and like many of you, I’m livid that Paul Rodgers has been eligible for induction for over 30 years and isn’t in. He only happens to be the blueprint that God created for the perfect Rock Singer and a favorite of Legends like Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury. There’s another band on here that is nominated as two bands in one nomination: Joy Division/New Order. And another who is one of the most distinct voices in history. Joe Cocker.
