I found it strange that I Feel Love wouldn't be in the archives - and it is - as part of the Back to Black sound recording. Here's part of a list where she's featured below. Blackout is just one of thousands of recordings they have. Shit, Planet Earth is in there. It's no big deal.

Shitney fans wonder why the rest of us think this is BS? Obviously there are many other artists whose work should be in the RHOF in place of hers. On top of that, as I've said 10000000x times, Shitney's vocals are auto-tuned and overly processed. Her voice is extremely unpleasant in songs. Lastly, the reason why the songs sound "good" is because of her PRODUCERS and the beats and tricks they used, not her. All of her songs and albums are this way-her producers go over the top to mask her crappy voice lol Maybe they dserve credit for it, but she certainly doesn't. I don't see what's so classic about this album.

I don't care if you're the biggest Shitney stan on the planet, you won't be able to convince the rest us that any of her work will even come close to more talented and accomplished artists.

It's a disgrace that this album is added into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, it's not worth it. Donna Summers music was way more revolutionary (sonically). Also the sound on that album productionwise IS NOT revolutionary like they're trying to make it. I guess in a sense it is revolutionary because it brought mainstream europop/electro /dance to the US which before wasnt that popular, but then again that could be questioned when you discuss 90s music and bands like NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls that were produced by mainly Swedish and english producers, (same thing with Britney, most of her hit singles are produced & written by the pop factory that is Max Martin) It's "revolutionary" in that it changed the music into a more dance/electro based type of music but then again this has been done before, in the 90s but I dont want to go that far actually. I guess in my ears, the typical swedish production is heard with the help of Danya (who's inspired by Timbo) , I can probably put up 10 swedish music productions that sound sonically the same before this album came out.
