There's a venn diagram of about 478 circles, where many of them overlap is possibly very definitely likely to be acknowledged as rock music but some of them only overlap by a hair and they're rock classics.
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).

There is little or no logic to their decisions and it seems to be driven more by which inductees would sell the most tickets to the dinner ceremony than any other "logical" reasons. They have no real mandate, it's just the personal tastes of several non-musicians.
...The basic premise of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame already feels a little outdated post-MTV, and the lines between genres only get blurrier from here on out. Itâs perhaps a little reductive, too, to give the exact same honour to such disparate acts â are NWA really reaching for the same thing as Deep Purple?
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!

I'm very excited about the possibility of Warren Zevon getting elected to the RRHOF. Who knows what his thoughts on this "honor" would be, but as a fan it's great to see him recognized for his talents.
