In a statement to The New York Times, Hall of Fame boss Jon Landau blamed Hall of Fame voters for the snub. He says, "There is absolutely no doubt that the extraordinary Donna Summer belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Regrettably, despite being nominated on a number of occasions, our voting group has failed to recognize her -- an error I can only hope is finally and permanently rectified next year."
On Thursday, Sir Elton lashed out at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame officials, stating, "That she has never been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a total disgrace, especially when I see the second-rate talent that has been inducted.
The Queen of Disco was shortlisted for the honor as part of the Class of 2012, but she was overlooked in favor of artists like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Donovan, Beastie Boys and Guns N' Roses.
