Heres a question Id venture to guess no one in the free world & beyond is asking today: Does Weird Al Yankovic belong in the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum? The case for: His first album was released in 1983, thus hes qualified; hes had an album on the charts in every subsequent decade; who can forget Eat It (take off on M Jacksons Beat It); This years album, Madatory Fun, which became his first to hit #1 on the charts, include[s] parodies of songs by Pharrell Williams, Robin Thicke, Iggy Azalea, Lorde and Imagine Dragons. … [and] original songs in the form of pastiche, imitating the styles of the Pixies, Cat Stevens, Foo Fighters, Crosby, Stills & Nash and Southern Culture on the Skids, according to Wikipedia. The case against: Hes Weird Al Yankovic!
