Yeah, essentially it means "popular music". I remember over the years they would have some broad explanations of how their nominees fit the definition(s).

At best this comes across as an earnest attempt to court a younger generation, at worst itâs redefining what ârock ânâ rollâ is to suit its own needs, even when those words have really already gained new meaning.

Zevon as a performer and composer. Maybe not enough mass commercial appeal. He was influential, though, and unique.
Willie Nelson obviously legendary, but I was wondering the same as you did about genre.

From that list, I'm going to say 1, 3, 4, 5, and 11 get in. What are some great Willie Nelson rock songs? Does he have a greater body of rock compositions than Zevon? Those guys aren't in already...Their oeuvre is stronger than many who are already enshrined...It is blasphemy that they are not members! As we say where I am from...Bullshit!
