41 women who should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame: Kate Bush, Dolly Parton, PJ Harvey...

Not because they are women, but because of the ways they changed music, NPR argues in favor of 41 women deserving to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Here are a few:

Carole King: 'Tapestry' is one of the biggest-selling albums of all time and the definitive emotional soundtrack for countless women and men of the baby boom.

Dolly Parton OR Loretta Lynn: Just choose one. They both changed much more than country music

Karen Carpenter: The queen of contemplative pop

Kate Bush: One of the first artists to extensively combine synthesizers and rock elements.

Cocteau Twins: Liz Fraser's reinvention of language itself in this hard-to-categorize combo had the most impact

PJ Harvey: English guitarist, songwriter and supreme howler grabbed rock so hard it changed shape
