Tina Turner is pop/R&B and the Go-Go's are New-Wave Pop - and this is not because I dislike them. I've even played "Our Lips are Sealed" on stage for a cover band before.
I just feel like this award is pretty worthless with the only redeeming value in getting old performers and acts to sometimes get together to play again.

That's one of the problems I have with the RRHOF. You can't exclude bands just because they're pop or R&B or punk. And Rock n roll has a history of being "dangerous" and anti-establishment. The artists who get inducted are almost always safe, corporate choices. The RRHOF isn't for music lovers, it's for tourists who visit Cleveland...
