I listen mostly to just rock and reggae music, so I know nothing about either one of those artists' work. I hear Swift is extremely popular though.
Sorry, but putting these two in the same category is just wrong. TS has a ton more talent and chops than Britney, who was somewhat of a manufactured pop star who didn't write most of her hits. Swift conquered the genres of country, pop, hip-hop and indie rock, which is pretty amazing, writing most of her songs, playing on most of them and producing quite a few too. She is a mortal lock for the HOF and rightly so, while Britney wouldn't get a vote from me.
Goodness, what happened to Madonna? She could model for the Album Cover of the Dead Kennedys Plastic Surgery Disasters:
Plenty, especially on Folklore and Evermore and many of her big hits are amalgams of styles, including pop-rock, country-rock and indie-rock. And if you want a shining example of one of the best rock power ballads ever recorded and performed, her "All Too Well" performance last year on SNL is a masterpiece, IMO (and in the opinion of countless others).
Never heard a TS song on any rock station ever. Pop rock, country rock --indie? rock...that's not rock n roll, at least as it used to be.
Doesn't mean she doesn't have rock songs - most rock stations play a very narrow setlist and probably wouldn't play her songs because of her country/pop roots anyway. Plenty of people whose opinions I give more credence to than yours agree with me - folks like McCartney, Springsteen, Dave Grohl and Carole King.
And I'd like to thank them for that.
Ok bro we know musical tastes are subjective but please with the silliness about the usual PC star brigade "agreeing" with you. McCartney Springsteen etc would never say a negative word about a Taylor Swift--maybe a Tommy Swift lol--for fear of you Swifties cancelling them on Twittler.
Swifties? Cancel? Twittler? Overreact much? I'm pretty sure the folks I named don't "fear" Taylor Swift, lol. Back to the music part, you're certainly welcome to not like her music, but I don't see how you can't agree that the song I linked is a power ballad, like countless rock bands have put out. You said she didn't have rock songs and this is a rock song regardless of whether or not you like it. Period.
LOL overreact...you're the swiftie getting your panties in a bunch here..imagine if Paul McCartney said a bad word about her lol. Look she's super talented, a great pop singer, has a great voice and obviously is worthy of her superstar success. However to-date she is not ROCK&ROLL Hall of Fame material. Period.
Ya know, I did see her performance of that tune on SNL. She was good.
There is no real reason to hate on Taylor Swift or doubt her talent... well, other than some kind of cultural "brand" you, and others, seek to project.
Just rename this stupid org The Music HOF already. Other than classical, itās de facto that already. Fix that by adding the 40+ famous classical composers in one shot.

It's been more than obvious that wasn't gonna ever happen.And itās safe to say there will not be a Gilmour/Waters reunion any time soon.
Roger Waters: āI called Putin a gangster ā that may have been unfairā
In the week David Gilmourās wife Polly Samson called him a āmegalomanicā, the musician airs his views on Russia, Israel ā and his bandmates
I'm the first to admit that I am the most unhip person in the world but aren't the Grammy Awards supposed to be about music. That's music?
Iāve seen the Garcia clip before and itās a legitimate criticism. I certainly donāt think DJs should be considered musicians. While Rap does not do anything for me in a musical way, you have to accept that it is a form of musical related expression. My oldest son listened to Rap exclusively growing up. Itās the thing that resonates with him. He does now listen to some rock music.
Jerry is right.
No surprise that real rock bands got shite on.
