Peter Frampton (but only because he was in Humble Pie)
Underrated band. They never appear on any "best of" lists. No one even talks about them on this site.
shareI would pick these three:
Mariah Carey
Cher
Foreigner
For my money - only one pick....
Foreigner
Foreigner had some great tracks - I'll think of 5 off the top of my head:
"Cold as Ice"
"Urgent"
"Double Vision"
"Feels Like the First Time"
"Hot Blooded"
None of the other bands (or solo artists) listed by the OP have enough top shelf tacks. Plus I don't consider Kool and the Gang to be rocknroll. Yep, just took another look. Foreigner, that's it.
It long ago ceased to be a R&R HOF. Mariah Carey? Sade? In the same breath as Ozzy? Sheesh.
Foreigner
Ozzy Osbourne
In 2022, Dolly Parton was voted into the R&R HOF but declined because she said she isn't a rock artist. They still inducted her and she decided to show up and said that now she has to do a rock album.
shareOZZY immediately of course, no bullshit. He's the king. THE BEST.
Frampton, the guy was an immense talent.
Cher, so much history in her career. A Dolly Parton level legend.
Kool And The Gang, that was a good career, lot's of groovy hits.
Foreigner, nice Arena Rock sing along song list.
Mariah Carey had some great stuff, not really my music but props when due. I still like her annoying Christmas song LOL:)
Dave Matthews had some good stuff and a fairly unique if odd voice.
Ozzy Osbourne
Mariah Carey
Lenny Kravitz
