The Cure and Radiohead. FINALLY!! Posted by Michael on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 08:18am |
Woah, wicked. I'll be honest, this class is 50% expected for me, and 50% "Woah!". Like, Janet. Stevie, and Leppard were all expected for me. But man, The Cure, Radiohead, and Roxy Music were total shocks for me. (Not that I'm complaining!) I was on the fence with The Zombies, so I won't count them. Also kinda surprised Rundgren wasn't included, but I'd rather have him inducted as a side-man than a performer. Posted by Jason Dagotto on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 08:28am |
Big props to Casper! Posted by FRL on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 08:32am |
I have a feeling that Zuzu isn't going to happy with this. Posted by Michael on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 08:38am |
So Todd Rudgren joins Nine Inch Nails and Judas Priest in the "Top 5 nont inducted" club. Posted by Follower on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 08:44am |
In my opinion, one of the best classes in years. Excellent work, Casper! Posted by Greg P. on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 08:48am |
Looking back at my final prediction, I was almost a hundred percent right about the winners. Posted by The Dude on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 08:55am |

Well, good thing you're not in charge of The Hall Of Fame, huh? Posted by Michael on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 08:57am |
I LOVE this group. My faith in the institution has been restored, I guess. Too bad Kraftwerk didn't make it, but for the rest, yay! Now hoping that Radiohead will show up for the induction ceremony. Posted by The_Claw on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 08:59am |
Radiohead is one of rock's last important bands. They shifted the music plan with pay-what-you-want releases for In Rainbows. OK Computer is considered by MANY people to be one of the greatest albums of all time. Nearly every single one of their albums was a critical and commercial success. 20 years later, they still sell-out tours. They deserve to be in there.

Biggest question now is will Brian Eno be inducted with Roxy Music. Posted by Will on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 09:03am |
Brian Eno IS being inducted as a member of Roxy Music. Posted by Garrick on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 09:04am |
I think the biggest question is how they are going to fit all 7 acts in one show. That and there's probably going to be an Aretha Franklin tribute.My bet is Roxy will be the one who doesn't perform. Posted by Follower on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 09:07am |
Possible inductors/speakers for the inductees... Posted by Donnie on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 09:11am |
There's also a chance Radiohead won't show up. I think this is reason why seven acts are being inducted this year. Posted by Garrick on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 09:13am |
Just wondering, who are the 4 dead guys being inducted? Posted by Follower on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 09:25am |

That’s a solid class right there. Posted by Shrek on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 09:48am |
Michael Posted by Zuzu on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 09:59am |
So, it looks like MC5 will have to settle for Early Influence. Posted by Follower on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 10:00am |

Dead inductees: Posted by Follower on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 10:06am |
MC5 will likely wind up settling for a singles entry for “Kick Out The Jams”. And it’s likely not this year in my opinion. Posted by Shrek on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 10:09am |
How about Depeche Mode being an inductor for The Cure? Posted by Michael on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 10:10am |
Tom Lane said that Fuhrer Perserman wants to expand the EI category so that MC5 can get in. The singles category is also coming back. Posted by Follower on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 10:13am |
Here's an interesting idea: what if for the class of 2020, they have RATM/Depeche Mode/NIN on the same ballot? Posted by Michael on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 10:16am |
One of the best classes in a long time, much better than last years. Posted by Gassman on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 10:20am |
I have a feeling Rundgren and Kraftwerk will get in next year. Plus, I have a feeling Oasis will be nominated in their first year of eligibility. Posted by Garrick on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 10:22am |
If they swapped out Def Leppard, Stevie Nicks and The Zombies with Kraftwerk, LL Cool J and Rage Against the Machine, this would’ve been an amazing class in my book. Posted by Nicky Joe on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 10:24am |

I’m expecting the future classes to look like this in the next few years now. Posted by The Dude on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 10:31am |
The Zombies getting in makes this class worthwhile. Posted by dan on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 10:37am |
You know what will be cool? If Beyoncé inducts Janet Jackson and performs with Stevie Nicks on Edge of Seventeen. Posted by The_Claw on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 10:48am |
Only two I was really consistent about was Def Leppard and Janet! :) But this is a great list. Probably the best since 2004. Posted by Timothy on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 10:48am |

2019 Inductees Posted by Roy on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 11:08am |
So far nobody from The Cure has made a statement on being inducted. Everyone else has. Posted by Follower on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 11:09am |
Great class. I would've loved to have seen Kraftwerk and LL Cool J get in, but I think they'll have another shot. Posted by Steve Z on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 11:19am |
What a great class! And hopefully they will stick with seven inductees (at least) for awhile. They need to catch up. I agree with whoever already speculated that they probably saw some acts like Janet or Roxy Music that they wanted in coming in at 6 and 7 in the voting. Anyway, whatever reason, great. Posted by Dezmond on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 12:09pm |
I wish they told us who 5, 6, and 7 were since the votes between them were so close. Posted by Follower on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 12:19pm |
The Cure going in is great. Depeche Mode should have gone in first, and hopefully, this will get rectified next year. Posted by K-Dawg on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 12:19pm |
Whoa! Holy cow. First of all it is 7 inductees for 2019. I did predict Def Leppard,Janet Jackson Jackson and the Zombies. I did say the Cure had a pretty good chance even though they were outside my prediction list. I did officially get that one wrong. I did NOT think Radiohead were getting inducted. I think it's a solid class. I was figuring on Janet Jackson having a really good chance. So there it is. Janet Jackson and Roxy Music probably came in at 6 and 7. Anyway Cool. That's great. So there it is. The 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Posted by Ben on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 12:57pm |
Roxy Music was a total surprise. Didn't think they had a chance, but I'll take them. Most of the artists I was rooting for except Devo got in. The Zombies finally complete the British Invasion. I disagree with Janet because she is pop, not rock. Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 13:25pm |
Also glad that LL Cool J didn't get in because rap is not a form of rock and they have enough rappers as it is. Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 13:26pm |
Rock Hall was certainly generous with the band members. Vivian Campbell of Def Leppard (Guitar, 1992-Present) and Jason Cooper of The Cure (Drums, 1995-Present) arguably did NOT have to be inducted. Posted by Casper on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 14:13pm |
Also kind of odd that ignored a free chance to make Paul Carrack an inductee. Posted by Casper on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 14:13pm |
Please don't get excited by this inductee class. Posted by Casper on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 14:17pm |
You Know, I love the jam sessions and was upset by the lack of one last year. Posted by Shrek on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 14:47pm |
Congrats to the 2019 Inductees. It's a whale of a class! Def Leppard and Stevie Nicks I predicted nomination and induction since early Nominations. Great to see them earn induction. The Cure and Roxy Music are pleasant surprises and this is the best Induction class I can remember. KING Posted by KING on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 17:15pm |
Everybody had two or three of Def Leppard, Stevie Nicks and The Zombies in their predictions...adding The Cure and Roxy Music basically made this the most classic rock class imaginable (and I personally saw the last two as givens, yet was too optimistic the voters would pass on Nicks). Posted by Casper on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 17:17pm |
This still fits with the "three types of inductees lately" theory. Posted by Casper on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 17:24pm |
Top Remaining Snubs (That Are RHP Inductees): Posted by Casper on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 17:47pm |
Just for the pre-1980s snubs, it would take a decade of 7 member classes to get most of them in, assuming that you induct 6-at-a-time plus 1 relatively new artist. Posted by Casper on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 17:50pm |
(At least) Half the performers you listed AREN'T WORTHY!!! Posted by KXB on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 17:53pm |
Since Radiohead has finally joined the ranks, here are my biggest 90’s snubs so far: Posted by The Dude on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 18:06pm |
And Tool. Can’t believe I forgot those guys. Posted by The Dude on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 18:11pm |
Korn is getting close too...Nu Metal dominated the early 2000s, but started with them Posted by K-Dawg on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 18:39pm |
@ K-Dawg Posted by The Dude on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 18:45pm |
I wonder why nobody from Radiohead has commented yet. Every other act has had at least one member comment on their induction. Posted by Follower on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 19:09pm |

Ceremony Predictions: Posted by Shrek on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 19:20pm |
I interject only 2 things. While Stevie should count her lucky stars to be there, Stand Back needs to be performed. And I think Janet would do Escapade instead of Rhythm Nation. It is arguably her signature song. Posted by K-Dawg on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 19:31pm |
The last 3 classes have all had a band where one member is well respected in the industry: Jeff Lynn, Mark Knopfner, and now Brian Eno. Posted by Follower on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 19:43pm |
Definitely a larger inductee class than in recent years, especially considering the fact that there were less nominees (15) this year, just under half were inducted this year. Posted by Evan on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 19:59pm |

'Pyromania' will be one of Def Leppard's songs. Posted by Paul in KY on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 20:40pm |
I find it interesting commenting on how the selection of various acts onto the short list will affect the chances of other acts who are not in the Hall of Fame. Posted by Eric Tompkins on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 20:56pm |
There is no song called "Pyromania" The word "pyromania" is mentioned in the song "Rock of Ages" Posted by Aaron O'Donnell on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 22:10pm |
Right, “Rock Of Ages” is the source for the Pyromania title Posted by Shrek on Thursday, 12/13/2018 @ 22:31pm |
Problem is Neil Young said it already. Posted by Arrow Man on Friday, 12/14/2018 @ 00:33am |
So did Nickelback. They won't be old enough in a long time, and I doubt the Hall will consider them. Posted by Follower on Friday, 12/14/2018 @ 00:41am |
Def Leppard also borrowed two titles from the Band. Rock of Ages and Stagefright. Def Leppeard had "Billy's Got A Gun" in 1983. Six years later Aerosmith had "janie's Got A Gun" Steve Clark's girlfriend at the time of his death was named Janie. Posted by Aaron O'Donnell on Friday, 12/14/2018 @ 02:06am |

Regardless of what the nominating committee does from this point forward, the results of this induction class are huge. Even if the nomcom decides to not only go in the classic rock direction, but the WRONG classic rock direction (Blue Oyster Cult and Thin Lizzy, for instance, would be far better picks than Bad Company, the Doobie Brothers, and Foreigner), the joint inductions of The Cure, Radiohead, and Roxy Music have already permanently altered the voting body in a big way. All three are probably guaranteed votes for Kraftwerk, joining the recent induction of The Cars (and Janet might join them), who now might actually get in on the next nomination. The Smiths and the Pixies suddenly become viable. Between the influences of The Cure and Radiohead alone are a whole lot of outstanding snubs. Def Leppard is a guaranteed vote for Judas Priest—an early photo of the band has at least one member of the band sporting a Judas Priest tee (https://e.snmc.io/i/fullres/s/8562e56cb1a9e4e37296b16f6bdc0a44/2914007)—as well as probably a number of other ‘80s metal groups, though that appears to be more of an uphill climb.

Engimaticus, all I know is that the URL for Kraftwerk showed them as a 2019 Inductee and for Janet Jackson it did not. I checked it like twenty minutes later and it no longer worked. Not long after that, it was pointed out that the Janet Jackson link now DID work. Posted by Casper on Friday, 12/14/2018 @ 16:10pm |
I'm nearly 100% certain you can expect Kraftwerk back, and not just because of this potential "controversy" (that really only exists among a few of us here and might have just been a website error). Posted by Casper on Friday, 12/14/2018 @ 16:15pm |

Michael - I gotta reject the notion of Madness or The Specials until the hall inducts some of the first generation pioneers of ska music, and goes deeper on Reggae than Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff. Posted by Shrek on Friday, 12/14/2018 @ 18:45pm |
“I don't see them going for Motley Crue ever. That genre is done. Time to get some of the long snubbed glam bands that influenced the genre. I still find it hard to fathom all the hair metal bands got in their first or second time on the ballot and the original glam rock acts for the most part weren't even making the ballot.” Posted by The Dude on Friday, 12/14/2018 @ 19:39pm |
Looking it over, lots of potential for your typical HOF drama this year: Posted by Shrek on Friday, 12/14/2018 @ 19:48pm |
I think the Hall actually expects Radiohead not to show up. That's the real reason they inducted 7. Posted by Follower on Friday, 12/14/2018 @ 23:30pm |

On the subject of hair bands going in, Motley Crue seems a foregone conclusion to be next. I wouldn't completely rule out Poison, but they are definitely a fringe. My question is, is there a consensus that maybe INXS is a possibility near or far? They really bounce between both new wave and alternative, but would seem to have a following.

Okay, where do we go from here? From my particular perspective 5 out of 7- 2019 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Inductees had definitely deserved this honor. Overall, I can appreciate the fact that Stevie Nicks, Roxy Music and The Zombies had made the list. I had also voted for The Cure and Radiohead multiple times. Unfortunately, Kraftwerk has not yet been inducted and I still believe that Todd Rundgren should have been given the Award for Musical Excellence. Posted by Enigmaticus on Saturday, 12/15/2018 @ 12:40pm |
I am terribly sorry, I had created a major faux pas. I had meant to say that Stevie Nicks solo induction should lead to a Sheryl Crow nomination and that I believe that Sheryl Crow should ultimately be the inductor of Stevie Nicks. Posted by Enigmaticus on Saturday, 12/15/2018 @ 13:19pm |

Congratulations to all the new inductees. I was shocked that Roxy Music and The Cure made it in. When are Pat Benatar, the Spinners, Jethro Tull, and the Guess Who going to make it? Posted by MarkTesla on Sunday, 12/16/2018 @ 01:43am |
There are two American and five British artists on this list. I suppose that is a particularly noteworthy achievement for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Posted by Enigmaticus on Sunday, 12/16/2018 @ 10:08am |
That would actually make for a pretty solid group of inductees there Enig. I definitely do think a nomination for Duran Duran is seriously possible as Roxy Music was a heavy influence on them and their induction (as well as the Cure) opens up the floor for early 80's new wave/art rock groups. Depeche Mode and Eurythmics though could return, but the path for a Duran Duran nomination opens up big time with a Roxy Music and Cure induction. Posted by Donnie on Sunday, 12/16/2018 @ 10:28am |
The one thing that's been skipped so far in my observation is what to do with Todd Rundgren. He is going to get nominated again next year, I have no doubt. He was the one glaring omission from this class. They might squeeze him in under ME, but he definitely deserves a spot as one of the unheralded 70s acts who flew under the radar.

You forgot band with a member that is well-respected in the industry Posted by Follower on Sunday, 12/16/2018 @ 21:07pm |
My guess Iron Maiden will be the choice over Judas Priest and Motley Crue in the 2019-2020 cycle. Iron Maiden has been in the Top 10 and probably might be in Top 3 in the Hall Fan Voting this time.They are 1 of the biggest omissions in my opinion. I really like T-Rex chances as Roxy Music now has been inducted. Bolan was highly respected as a musician and T-Rex influenced many of the British rock stars of today. They probably will give Chaka Khan The Zombies treatment next year. The RRHOF clearly wants her inducted and will give her limited competition. I see Kraftwerk coming back next year. Many of the recent inductees might vote for Kraftwerk and it's another band RRHOF clearly wants inducted. I think MC5 chances are near done. They were #15 out of #15 in the FAN VOTING and really aren't a HOF act. Have no idea who the newly nominated act will be. Beck didn't make the cut last year. Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails should return to the ballot with 1 being inducted. I'm probably not picking a rap act next year. It's a shame LL Cool J can't earn induction. Duran Duran getting closer to nomination but I think they give Depeche Mode 1 more shot. Procol Harum probably will be given a Zombies type chance next year. Little competition. They are incredibly deserving and have a few Committee members who will politic for them. I don't know what happens with Todd Rundgren but he has plenty of fans in the voting. Deserves another crack at it in 2019. KING Posted by KING on Sunday, 12/16/2018 @ 21:21pm |

It's not a matter of "so many posters" forgetting about the Musical Excellence Award. Most of us haven't. It was just confirmed by Joel Peresman on the morning that the inductees were announced that there would not be any candidates in the side categories, due to the high amount of Performers inductees this year. The ceremony will most likely not have time to do presentations on possible inductees for the Non-Performers, Musical Excellence, or Early Influence categories. Posted by Donnie on Monday, 12/17/2018 @ 08:56am |
12 bands/artists that I would like to see nominated or inducted next year. #1 -Pat Benatar, #2 -Scorpions, #3 -The Commodores, #4 -Smashing Pumpkins, #5 -Steppenwolf, #6 -Kool & the Gang, #7 -Jethro Tull, #8 -Blue Oyster Cult, #9 -Judas Priest, #10 -King Crimson, #11 -Alice In Chains, #12 -The B-52's. I tend to favorite the Rock/Funk/R&B/Grunge, 70's/80's/90's era. Posted by Will N. on Monday, 12/17/2018 @ 10:55am |
12 bands/artists that should, or I think may be nominated or inducted next year. #1 -L.L.

Janet Jackson clearly deserves her induction, this notion that having co-songwriters lessens her qualifications doesn't add up. There are some artists in there who were not songwriters at all. It's not the songwriters Hall of Fame. Her body of work is outstanding. I have also seen her live and she was not lip syncing! Posted by Kenneth Johnson on Thursday, 12/20/2018 @ 23:41pm |

Well that's laughable. Aerosmith managed to have hits in 4 different decades. Aerosmith sold a lot of records. Aerosmith had a dedicated following in the 70's, then after some time, had a comeback in the 80's. That comeback was fueled more by outside songwriters, and they even used the same music for Cryin' and Crazy. Aerosmith were relevant in 40 decades at various times, and spent most of their existance with the same five members. Posted by Follower on Friday, 12/21/2018 @ 14:27pm |

Alan Light mentioned that Fricke brought their name up in the Nom Com Meeting back in October on SiriusXM (when the 2019 nominees were announced). On my own site, I predicted he’d push for Beck since he gave ‘Sea Change’ a rare five-star review back in 2002. But that obviously didn’t happen.

There is a vocal minority that likes to push down mainstream rock/pop. While there are some valid points, the RRHOF is a business, and is in the business of putting in people that the public wants to see. I personally didn't find Stevie Nicks deserving of a spot based on her solo work alone, but she got put in because it does attract some fans. Aerosmith and Def Leppard are huge as mainstream rock acts, and have a much bigger following than some more specialized bands. There always will be critical darlings that will get in, but be prepared for the popular acts more than the specialized ones. This isn't necessarily how any one rock n roll fan, myself included, may want it, but it will be how it's gonna be. Posted by K-Dawg on Friday, 12/21/2018 @ 21:38pm |

Some people are really spreading the fertilizer thick. If you took the time to look it up you would know the hall is a non-profit that is running in the red. the reason is because they made some very stupid decisions like a list that had the lowest fan vote ever. If they were somehow making a profit indirectly they could possibly be in big trouble with the IRS. If any of the po'd artist catch wind of something and report it and the IRS finds something that artist gets to make money. Posted by Zuzu on Saturday, 12/22/2018 @ 06:32am |

"Little bird" from Lion King is Zazu. When I first started posting here, I thought it was your name, but then realized the spelling difference. How it is sexist is beyond me.

There are always going to be detractors and naysayers denying the changes happening to the Hall. It's been bashed for all of its 32 years, and many times justifiably, but it's never shied away from its mission. It doesn't turn around and try to change direction, or branch off with just a "rock" hall to satisfy those who can't accept rock and roll doesn't mean one type of music, but the preeminent domain that is loved by many, in all of its forms. Some love it, some hate it, but the RRHOF has done a good job of staying consistent. They do need to adapt and have a better well-rounded roster, in spite of having so many in already, but it is slowly getting there. Posted by K-Dawg on Sunday, 12/23/2018 @ 04:49am |

I do agree. I don't know the album Caress of Steel at All. The earliest album of Rush I know is 2112. It is the same thing. I think the single was Temple of Syrinx. It is piece of a much bigger work. You can say much more on this but 2112 is a concept album. I remember mainly the hits/keys tunes. I vaguely remember 2112. At a later time the same 5 or 6 Rush songs had been played. Maybe 7. Tom Sawyer is a great song but I prefer Red Barchetta and YYZ from the same album. Those were NOT played very much on Rock Radio. Other songs played a lot are Spirit of Radio,Limelight, Subdivisions, New World Man and Distance Early Morning. There is also Big Money. That could be the seventh tune.

In a nutshell, I want Depeche Mode in above all others. I like Richie's ideas though. I'd have to think to post a 2020 class of who I want vs who'd go in, but it's a bit premature at this point. Trends point to Motley Crue being a strong possibility though. Maybe the last hair band that gets a sniff. Posted by K-Dawg on Saturday, 12/29/2018 @ 12:42pm |

If one happens this year, it's one of 4...Biggie seems to have the early momentum, LL Cool J will garner some attention. Outkast is probably a favorite in a couple years. Snoop is the dark horse, and would complete my Cali rap I grew up with; at least until Eminem becomes eligible. If someone this year, I think Biggie. Next year? We can't discount Mr. S.

It confirms Casper's observation that first a page for Kraftwerk was created and then later removed. But I would like to know who these sources are, and how reliable they are, before I'm convinced.

If the statements made concerning Kraftwerk would happen to have some truth to them, would that mean that they would more than likely get an automatic re-nomination for next years class? And quite possibly be highly considered for a slot for induction? I would think that it should be deserved, if they had happened to get bumped out of this year.

I see any of the following classic rock and new wave/alternative acts being nominated. Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 01/15/2019 @ 18:41pm |
I feel like they purposely avoided the first two on your list like a plague even though both clearly had a lot of momentum going into the recent nomination meeting. Bad Company and The Doobie Brothers are both a 100% lock to get in if they're nominated, hence why the committee is wary of letting them onto the ballot and the induction expense of everybody else. Posted by Casper on Tuesday, 01/15/2019 @ 22:21pm |
If nothing else, it's been proven that the RRHOF voters are desperate to get in big names from rock. We are to the point where Paul Rodgers needs to be included somehow. It's a joke he hasn't gone in yet, and BC is a more than deserving group. They may get lumped around as a "supergroup", but they had the staying power and talent to make it work. They really should've been in 10 years ago at least. Posted by K-Dawg on Wednesday, 01/16/2019 @ 03:58am |
There seems to be a trend towards nominating new wave/alternative act being nominated. The Smiths, Eurythmics and B52s all have possibility. I have knowledge of these 3 acts and I also think Duran Duran and Tears for Fears could be nominated. I think they will skip on Devo. They were tried this year. As far as I know there was a lack of support. Posted by Ben on Wednesday, 01/16/2019 @ 05:54am |

Yeah, Duran Duran has a very nice path to be inducted given that Roxy Music, The Cars and The Cure all got in over the last couple years. Posted by Casper on Wednesday, 01/16/2019 @ 17:40pm |
The Dude, everything you listed will eventually get in except INXS and Tears For Fears. Their discographies are just too short in terms of top-notch material to lead to an induction in my opinion. I have no doubt that the rest are inducted over the coming decades (a lot of them very soon, perhaps). Posted by Casper on Wednesday, 01/16/2019 @ 17:42pm |
Casper, Posted by richie on Wednesday, 01/16/2019 @ 20:06pm |
It's hard anymore to say that anything is too short of a period of importance in order to make the Hall Of Fame, given that The Zombies made it in on the strength of two albums that weren't even successful. No offense to fans of The Zombies meant, they just are a classic example now that long term influence matters more than commercial success or career longevity. Posted by Shrek on Wednesday, 01/16/2019 @ 20:16pm |
Richie, that's a real big ask, but certainly a lot from my list above along with no-brainer newly eligibles such as Notorious B.IG., White Stripes, Weezer (maybe not first ballot), Foo Fighters, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Beyonce. Posted by Casper on Wednesday, 01/16/2019 @ 20:40pm |
It's extremely hard to see how Depeche Mode would NOT get in the next time they are on the ballot. The voting body is clearly favorable and they clearly knock it out-of-the-park with their credentials. Posted by Casper on Wednesday, 01/16/2019 @ 20:42pm |
BTW, I'm about 90% confident that Janet Jackson finished seventh in the voting this year. If you were going to expand to seven inductees, it would just make sense to be doing so in order to get in a big name who is also a black female Performer. Posted by Casper on Wednesday, 01/16/2019 @ 20:48pm |
My 10% doubt stems entirely from the possibility that they could have just thought, "You know what, let's have seven inductees no matter what"...but if that's not the case, I'm positive the bar was "lowered" for Janet Jackson. Posted by Casper on Wednesday, 01/16/2019 @ 20:50pm |

The 2019 Canadian Music Hall Of Fame Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 01/16/2019 @ 22:38pm |
@ Casper, You recently posted a list of 20 or so artists you feel will be nominated soon, but unless you include Eurythmics or the Pixies, you have no female artists listed at all. No Pat Benatar, no Tina Turner, the Go-Go's, B-52's, Rufus/Chaka Khan, all with possible potential. I think you have 12 or so strong candidates there, Bad Co., Doobies, Tull, Depeche Mode, the Smiths, T. Rex, Pumpkins, AIC(in a few years), Maiden, Big Star, Zevon, Beck, Outkast, L.L., and (I wish), the Buzzcocks. You must include some of the female artists, as you should see at least one per year being selected. Also, I feel you are wrong about INXS, they could get nominated this year. They were just Huge for about a 5 year period, similar to the impact of Duran Duran. The Dude feels as strongly about them(D.D.), probably more so, as I do about The Scorpions, who I think could very well get a nomination for next year.. Posted by Will N. on Friday, 01/18/2019 @ 00:01am |
Will N., Posted by richie on Friday, 01/18/2019 @ 00:38am |
Correction: I believe I was thinking of Enig, when I made a mention of who was the huge fan of Duran Duran, getting a nomination, but I stated The Dude, in error. Regardless, there has to be at least 30 or so, well deserved artists, that could get possibly nominated for next years class. But for now I am going to enjoy seeing this years class getting inducted. It should be great!.. Posted by Will N. on Friday, 01/18/2019 @ 00:53am |
Richie, Wow, that is a very tall order, and I am not sure if I can look that far ahead, at this point. For induction? Say the next 3 years, @ 6 per class, I am still big on Pat Benatar, also Depeche Mode, Bad Company, Doobie Brothers, LL Cool J, Kraftwerk, and maybe Rage ATM or Beck for next year. After that Tina Turner needs to be considered, Jethro Tull, Steppenwolf, T. Rex, Duran Duran, Scorpions, Iron Maiden or Smashing Pumpkins for 2021. For 2022, will go with Judas Priest, the B-52's, King Crimson, the Smiths, the Go-Go's, the Commodores or Kool and the Gang, and maybe Warren Zevon. I think it basically becomes a crapshoot to try and figure who will get nominated, because of the size of the pool to choose from, and so many deserving. I forgot INXS, and I'm not sure when the Foo Fighters or Outkast are eligible, they will probably get nominated. It's cool to project, but it seems difficult to jump ahead too much, IMO.

Richie, I read your 10 year prediction list, and I think you did a great job with your selections, as it obviously took a lot of time and effort to complete. I like how you diversify and represent the various genres and eras of music, which realistically compares to the voting committees selections. However, personally, I would hope that Pat Benatar and the Scorpions would be bumped up a few years. I also agree with King's predictions on Bad Company, Depeche Mode, and the possibilities of T. Rex and Eurythmics.. Good points, there. Posted by Will N. on Sunday, 01/20/2019 @ 17:56pm |
Hey FRL Regulars, Posted by richie on Sunday, 01/20/2019 @ 18:14pm |
I think either Bad Company, Motley Crue, The Doobie Brothers or Pat Benatar if they're nominated. Posted by Greg F on Sunday, 01/20/2019 @ 18:42pm |
My picks for the fan vote win are Motley Crue, Doobie Bros, Iron Maiden, Blink 182, or Weezer if they get a nomination. Posted by Jason Dagotto on Sunday, 01/20/2019 @ 19:42pm |
Hey FRL Regulars, Posted by richie on Monday, 01/21/2019 @ 00:18am |
Richie, while I like many of your picks, I disagree about Korn. They are the progenitors of nu metal, which opens the door for much of the hard rock/metal music of the late 90s to early 2000s. I do acknowledge first, the RRHOF must get over its fear of metal not named Metallica, Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin, however. Posted by K-Dawg on Monday, 01/21/2019 @ 01:20am |

Do you recall the first sentence? The acts I listed are all metal if you stretch the definition enough. Except maybe Bon Jovi. I'm willing to take that back, (and the one Beatles song since it's debatable) but not the others. They were (or could be) just as loud and heavy as some of the bands you mentioned Posted by Follower on Monday, 01/21/2019 @ 19:47pm |

I forgot to bring this up when The_Claw nominated Boston in the metal/hard rock category last week, but there is a very strong case for it if you go by the historical definition of heavy metal and not the current one, considering the definition has changed and that ties into this argument. Posted by Sean on Monday, 01/21/2019 @ 21:10pm |
"The Beatles have one song that is arguably metal (though some might call it closer to punk, as both punk and metal bands have covered it), but that's about it." Posted by Sean on Monday, 01/21/2019 @ 21:17pm |
I appreciate all the feedback. I wasn't saying they were the only bands in the HOF that were metal exclusively, but they are the ones most commonly acknowledged. The point remains, that 60s and 70s harder stuff is largely in, and we're coming up on the 80s. Whereas bands like Def Leppard obviously are metal, they did tone down their sound in the 90s, going more for love ballads and less electric guitar. I also realize Metallica did much of the same. The time is now for Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, or other true to form metal bands who didn't "conform" in some people's eyes, to get some love and they belong in the hall. Motley Crue is a major favorite to continue the fan favorite hair bands, and arguably might be the last of the big 3 to get legitimate recognition, and honestly I believe they will be nominated, if not inducted, in the next 2 years Posted by K-Dawg on Tuesday, 01/22/2019 @ 03:10am |
As much as I love The Notorious B.I.G., The problem that I have with him is because that his career was so short and he's not quite the legendary pop culture icon as Tupac was, so because of that, I just don't think that he's a first-ballot Hall of Famer, so I really think that the Nominating Committee is going to stick with LL Cool J and give him one more nomination next year and LL will finally get in on his 6th try next year and become the 7th Rap/Hip-Hop act inducted into the Rock Hall following Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, Run-DMC, The Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, N.W.A and Tupac Shakur.

Hey there FRL regulars. I am surprised nobody responded to my post on Song sets. This is after all the Inductee Forum. I would think some of you look it over. It may have been overshadowed by the Heavy Metal chat. I am not in the know of Heavy Metal enough to participate. I do think Judas Priest should be next. I know a decent amount by that band as Well as Queensryche. Posted by Ben on Thursday, 01/24/2019 @ 07:46am |
Okay, where do we go from here? From my particular perspective five out of the seven 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees had definitely deserved this honor. Overall, I have been able to appreciate the fact that Stevie Nicks, Roxy Music and the Zombies have made the list. I had also voted for The Cure and Radiohead multiple times. Unfortunately, Kraftwerk has not yet been inducted and I still believe that Todd Rundgren should have been given the award for Musical Excellence.

When it comes to possible female acts for the Hall, I still think Cher is up next after Stevie and Janet. Last year, she went back to film for another on-screen role in “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again,” and even recorded a couple of ABBA songs for the film’s soundtrack. She also received a Kennedy Center Honors. Posted by The Dude on Thursday, 01/31/2019 @ 15:42pm |

Music-related biopic is a new trend at Hollywood right now. Motley Crue is planning to put out their movie soon on Netflix, which is why I think they have a very good chance of getting nominated for the first time and inducted. I’ve also heard about a David Bowie coming in production. Will that increase more possibilities for The Spiders From Mars to get in? Sounds like a fan’s pipe dream, but you’ll never know.

So, the voting thing at the hall itself is this: Posted by Follower on Monday, 02/4/2019 @ 23:55pm |
Why on earth is Freddie Mercury as a solo artist even an option? He was one of the most gifted vocalists, but he is already in with Queen. This makes even less sense than inducting Stevie Nicks on her merit as a SOLO artist when she is already honored, rightfully so, as a part of Fleetwood Mac. The other bands I think a case can be made for any one of them, especially Iron Maiden. Posted by K-Dawg on Tuesday, 02/5/2019 @ 12:46pm |

There is also Emerson,Lake and Palmer and King Crimson that could be Inducted in the next five Years. Also Johnny Winter as far as Blues Rock.

They will put in LL when they have exhausted a bunch of others that should go in. That is a big maybe, the Hall has got a chunk of rappers now, so maybe they'll cherry pick for awhile as well. I would be Eminem would get a nod before him, just because of his polarizing and game changing style. (notice I mention style and not ethnicity, as it is what makes him worthy). It'll be awhile, because he would've gotten in already if they were really looking at him as groundbreaking, which he is, but we know how the committee is on another plane of cognition, or a lack thereof... Posted by K-Dawg on Friday, 02/8/2019 @ 03:14am |
LL Cool J will get in someday, but when is anyone's guess. Posted by Follower on Friday, 02/8/2019 @ 20:05pm |
It just depends on his ballot competition and the number of inductees in a given year. If they go back to inducting just 5 Performers a year, I could easily see him waiting ten years. Voters will have Beck and Bjork and The Smiths and OutKast and Kanye and Biggie and Jay Z and Smashing Pumpkins and so forth. LL Cool J is clearly not currently a top tier candidate in the eyes of the voters although I would agree that he has the best credentials and best chances of being inducted of any until-now eligible name other than OutKast. Posted by Casper on Friday, 02/8/2019 @ 20:13pm |
Oh, and considering Biggie, Jay-Z, and Eminem are going to be old enough soon, the hall won't induct two hip-hop acts, so LL's going to have to wait. Posted by Follower on Friday, 02/8/2019 @ 20:28pm |

I have to say that since so much of the key 60s and 70s Rock is in that the new Focus will be 80s. There will also be some leftover acts of the 70s previously ignored Both with Rock and R&b. I will focus here on Rock. I think Bad Company, Duran Duran, Eurythmics,Foreigner Don Henley Joe Jackson, Jethro Tull, Todd Rundgren and the Smiths all have a good chance of being nominated in 2020 Posted by Ben on Friday, 02/15/2019 @ 09:45am |

You know what I am NOT a big fan of Motley Crue. Ahh but it makes sense that they are the next nominee for Arena Rock. They seem to always choose one Arena Rock act each year. I feel confident as a music person they could be Nominated for 2020. I dont think they will be Inducted yet though. Posted by Ben on Tuesday, 02/19/2019 @ 12:31pm |
Motley Crue could be a safe bet. I would like to see Whitesnake. They have been around since the later 70's and had some big hits in 1980's. They had an incredible talented group of musicians in Whitesnake. John Sykes, Steve Vai, Vivian Campbell etc. It might be a creative way to induct some of these talented musicians. Coverdale would have 2 inductions. Something to think about. KING Posted by KING on Tuesday, 02/19/2019 @ 15:34pm |

I think the next 70s Rock act to look for is Jethro Tull. Another of those forgotten acts from the 1970s for the RnR Hall. I think the Hall wanted to have the Moody Blues in at long last before pondering Jethro Tull. I would NOT expect a Biopic movie on Tull any time soon. Posted by Ben on Friday, 03/1/2019 @ 11:32am |

It's the tenth anniversary of Michael Jackson's death and the success of Bohemian Rhapsody might lead to a tribute for Freddie Mercury. Posted by Greg F on Monday, 03/4/2019 @ 23:04pm |

Oh thats Right. I stand corrected. Its Brian May of Queen inducting Def Lep. Someone from Queen makes sense. Queen preceded Def Lep as a key Rock band out of England. Posted by Ben on Tuesday, 03/5/2019 @ 19:51pm |

Why has nobody this entire cycle been mentioning Taylor Swift to induct Def Leppard? She literally has called them her biggest musical influence from when she was younger and even had a television special with Def Leppard. It's weird that everybody forgot about that.

If ya’ll still wondering why metal - the real and current definition - is still not very well represented at awards ceremonies and of course the Hall of Fame, it’s due to poor fan support. I still think it’s the bands and metalheads that are afraid of the Hall cause most of them are notoriously protective when it comes to gate keeping and it’s pretty much the same problem with punk. Posted by The Dude on Monday, 03/11/2019 @ 17:49pm |
I just find it hysterical that, for all the love Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, in particular, have gotten in the forums and in media in general, they can't generate even a nom. There is a vocal minority that seems to think anything that doesn't rattle your eardrums and worship Satan isn't worthy of the RRHOF, yet their own bread and butter doesn't make it in...

I mean, I can see almost every presenter sitting in with the honorees they are presenting. But if Radiohead was going to actually play, could anybody picture a spot for David Byrne to sit in on vocals or guitar? He could do an interesting solo acoustic version of "Creep" of "Fake Plastic Trees" though. Posted by Shrek on Wednesday, 03/13/2019 @ 12:00pm |
David could do Paranoid Android in the same voice he uses for Psycho Killer. That would be cool. Posted by Paul in KY on Wednesday, 03/13/2019 @ 14:01pm |

PRESENTERS FOR THE 2019 ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES ANNOUNCED! Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 03/13/2019 @ 18:22pm |
"To me the biggest surprise is the placement of David Byrne. Before the Duran guys were announced, I had expected he might be a good fit for Roxy Music; or I could see him as a good fit for The Zombies. Presenting for Radiohead is a bit of a head scratcher for me. But I love Byrne and will be happy to see what he has to say." Shrek Posted by jay kay on Wednesday, 03/13/2019 @ 18:38pm |
jay kay - I guess it makes sense in a bit of the same way as Brian May inducting Def Leppard. The inspiring mentor inducting their disciples. But Brian May and Def Leppard seem to have a long established friendship and mutual admiration that I just wasn't aware was there for Byrne with Radiohead.

I don't think Duran Duran gets in next year even though they are going to be presenters. It will probably be around 2 or 3 years from now. I think they will Depeche Mode and maybe the Smiths in first before DD Posted by jay kay on Thursday, 03/14/2019 @ 11:05am |
Enig, Posted by Ben on Thursday, 03/14/2019 @ 12:14pm |
I know I mentioned it before, but Sheryl Crow inducted Fleetwood Mac, so it was probably unlikely they would have her induct Stevie Nicks also. In a recent Rolling Stone article, Stevie talked about how she "adopted" Harry Styles and called him the son she never had. So the choice of Harry as her presenter is not as out of the blue as it may initially seem. Plus, I'm sure it helps garner some interest from a younger demographic. Posted by Greg P. on Thursday, 03/14/2019 @ 14:04pm |
Styles really seems to connect well personally with the classic rock folks. Mick Jagger has also expressed fondness for him and wanted Styles to portray the young Mick Jagger in a potential film role. Posted by Shrek on Thursday, 03/14/2019 @ 14:55pm |
I do also have a lot of 80s acts as favs. Some of those are Cyndi Lauper,Pat Benatar,Journey, Def Leppard,Joe Jackson,The Pretenders and Dire Straits. I do like some Duran Duran and Simple Minds. I don’t if all of these have a good chance at induction. As yu will Note several I listed already are Posted by Ben on Thursday, 03/14/2019 @ 17:58pm |
Now as far as the order of things. I think the Opening. Act may be Roxy Music. Its in the Same way that Peter Gabriel opened in 2014 and ELO opened in 2017. Those are popular but Not as popular as some other acts in those respective Years. Posted by Ben on Thursday, 03/14/2019 @ 21:30pm |
I think Def Leppard would be a logical closing act choice. They put on one of the best live shows in the last 30 years, and Pour Some Sugar on Me would be an epic closing song, as would Bringin on the Heartbreak... Posted by K-Dawg on Friday, 03/15/2019 @ 02:07am |
Back on November 27, 2019, I had listed most of the 2019 Inductees, however I had not refined my list until December 1. Nonetheless, I had predicted 5/7 of the 2019 Rock Hall inductees on this list. But upon closer inspection, I had actually mentioned Radiohead as a possibility also. So, do you really think that Duran Duran is going to have to wait 2 additional years for their induction, or will they perhaps be next? Posted by Enigmaticus on Friday, 03/15/2019 @ 05:50am |
Oh incidentally, congratulations are definitely in order for Joe Kwaczala and Kristen Studard (of the “Who Cares About The Rockhall?” Podcast) for their predictions about the presenter choices for the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, with regards to: Roxy Music (Simon Le Bon and John Taylor of Duran Duran), The Zombies (Susanna Hoffs Of The Bangles), Def Leppard (Brian May) and Radiohead (David Byrne). Does the Rock Hall actually listen to you? I think that they do. Well done! Posted by Enigmaticus on Friday, 03/15/2019 @ 06:12am |
Had the “prog” train been derailed this year, or did it simply endure a short time delay? Over the past decade, five of the “prog” biggies had been inducted: Genesis (2010) and Peter Gabriel, as a solo artist (2014) and of course the “holy trinity” of prog (Rush, Yes and The Moody Blues) with Rush being inducted in 2013, Yes being inducted in 2017 and the “prog” godfathers- The Moody Blues being inducted in 2018. Additionally, Electric Light Orchestra (2017), Deep Purple (2016) and Chicago (2016) had joined them. Also, we now have 2 additional “prog” adjacent artists inducted: Heart (2013) and Journey (2017). Posted by Enigmaticus on Friday, 03/15/2019 @ 06:41am |
You know what I'm predicting Def Leppard as the closing act. I heard they put on a Good live show. 2 Years ago I figure an Arena rock band could have closed with Journey if Steve Perry had sang. Journey had a problem in that Steve Perry didnt want to sing. Therefore the Closing act was Pearl Jam. Posted by Ben on Friday, 03/15/2019 @ 09:56am |

Those of us who love Depeche Mode were slightly annoyed that the Cure made it in first, but they really are equals when it comes to contributions of the pioneers of new wave. That being said, Depeche Mode is one I expect to be inducted next year. Duran Duran is also a deserving act... Posted by K-Dawg on Friday, 03/15/2019 @ 13:28pm |

With any Hall of Fame, once the person is dead, it becomes less of an imperative to induct them sooner than later since they'll never receive the honor. Posted by Casper on Sunday, 03/17/2019 @ 22:43pm |
Regarding Depeche Mode and Duran Duran, very hard to see how either would NOT be inducted the next time they are on a ballot, especially with a class size of 6 or 7 Performers. Now, it's just a question of WHEN they will next be on the ballot rather than a question of WHEN they will be inducted. Posted by Casper on Sunday, 03/17/2019 @ 22:46pm |

Does anyone else have thoughts on the Song lists. Surely some out there knows more about the Cure out there. I said I am Fair with the Hall but I do NOT know the Cure very well. Friends in College did. I was NOT a New waver in the 80s. I came out up with those 3 tunes for the Cure based on vague knowledge. The Cure co existed with Def Leppard in the 80s. I think I am on the mark with my Def Leppaed song picks. Foolin, Photograph and Pour Some Sugar on Me seem likely. I am somewhat strong with my Roxy Music and Zombies. I do know several hits by the Zombies. I would NOT expect The Zombies to play anything obscure. They had a bunch of hits 1964-1969. Ok everyone go ahead and chime in with song picks Posted by Ben on Wednesday, 03/20/2019 @ 09:16am |
IMO, Cure's best song is 'Just Like Heaven'. Will be surprised (a bit) if they do not do that one. They have a bunch they could do. Posted by Paul in KY on Wednesday, 03/20/2019 @ 15:25pm |

Yeah, Def Leppard probably closes the show. A fully cooperative and enthusiastic Radiohead would have been the no doubt choice, but no Tom Yorke makes that impossible. If the rest of the band is there it would be pretty cool for them to play with David Byrne. Posted by Gassman on Monday, 03/25/2019 @ 12:30pm |

This Bill Wyman guy is a great critic I'm sure. That being said, I can list all 220 inductees in my order and no one would agree with them exactly, either. There are those that are going to agree with him Def Leppard doesn't belong. There are others who are going to list them as a long overdue best ever. Music critics are more subjective because everyone has a taste in music more than many other media. We listen to it every day, songs shape our life experiences. Posted by K-Dawg on Tuesday, 03/26/2019 @ 13:30pm |
I guarantee that the ceremony will not start out with back to back inductions of the two female honorees. Plus even if the HBO advertisement for the ceremony is to be used for determining stage order, and you base it on the list of presenters rather than on the list of the performers - then general industry ad practice is to list the headliner at the top, and the headliner would come on last. The Headliner for the inductees and the presenters both would point to Stevie Nicks. Posted by Shrek on Tuesday, 03/26/2019 @ 14:47pm |
BTW, Bon Jovi was only first last year because Howard Stern was literally flying back out the very second he finished his induction speech. And that's what happened. It was to accommodate Stern. Posted by Casper on Tuesday, 03/26/2019 @ 15:26pm |

The Rock Hall's Instagram page has been putting up some great pictures and stories from rehearsals for the ceremony. They just posted a picture of Little Steven, and the caption read "prepping for our speech on the 6 Hall of Fame Singles that will be honored". So we have confirmation that there will be 6 again. They also posted pictures of both Roxy Music and The Zombies rehearsing. The Roxy Music caption made reference to "More Than This", so that might be one of their performance songs.

To me, the main voting block seems adverse to overly controversial loud bands. Black Sabbath took a long time to get in; The Sex Pistols took multiple nominations; Judas Priest apparently got a very small percentage of votes. Posted by Shrek on Thursday, 03/28/2019 @ 16:39pm |
Probably no chance the Singles inductees leak before the ceremony (or before the Rock Hall unveils them if they do it beforehand which I doubt). There's no Singles pages up yet (still) on the Rock Hall website, so no chance for sleuthing. Posted by Casper on Thursday, 03/28/2019 @ 22:51pm |
On Friday nights order of inductees/performers, maybe it has already been determined, and made public by now, I don't know. I would go with; Posted by Will N. on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 01:04am |

My guess in an order: Posted by Gassman on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 11:40am |
The audience reactions to Dirt likely mean the band would do well with the fan vote if they got nominated. Let's see if it translates to them getting more of a push with the actual kiosk votes at the HOF. If they can wind up in the top 2 or 3 on the kiosk, that would improve their chances tremendously to get a nomination. Posted by Shrek on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 12:39pm |

It should be noted that the newsfeed here had a story recently with Def Leppard saying they were getting to do *four* songs, not just three. Posted by Shrek on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 14:28pm |
I would also like to mention some other acts for tonight. It is harder to guess the Roxy Music song list. I think it will be Virginia Plain,Avalon and Love is the Drug. Posted by Ben on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 16:10pm |
Agreed that The Zombies are pretty easy, though they might swap out "Tell Her No" for a deeper cut - maybe "I Love You" Posted by Shrek on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 17:38pm |

My guess is the surprise guest is something to do with an Aretha Franklin tribute. Maybe Beyonce? Posted by Gassman on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 18:00pm |
My guess is a surprise induction. Todd Rundgren anyone? Posted by The Dude on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 18:08pm |
Given May's sort of secondhand inclusion of Janet Jackson and Radiohead; I'm not sure a modern artist like Beyonce would impress him enough to be "jazzed" about the appearance. Posted by Shrek on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 18:40pm |
Hmmm. Don't know if any of these are who made Brain Mays' head turn, but Chris Issac is there, and all of the current members of Fleetwood Mac are there. Posted by Shrek on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 19:00pm |
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are there, as they should be. They probably should have been inducted *with* Janet Jackson! 8^) Posted by Shrek on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 19:03pm |

GLORIA?!?! For F sakes. It's a Van Morrison song. He's in. I agree with whoever said that this is a Steven Van Zandt creation. It's like the hall said, here Steven, write 6 songs on this card and we will fill 15 minutes of the show with it. No rhyme or reason, no democratic process, no transparency. Garbage. Posted by Classic Rock on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 21:17pm |
On a lighter note, he didn’t add “Kick Out The Jams” on the list. So, there’s at least still hope for MC5 in the future. Posted by The Dude on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 21:21pm |
Well, there go The Chantels' and Shangri-Las' chances of ever getting inducted. It's a good batch of singles inductees but I am perplexed by an Isley Brothers record getting in... Posted by Casper on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 21:42pm |
I'm loving the shortened acceptance speeches. This is how it ALWAYS should have been. More musical performances, less jabber (and a shorter evening at that). Posted by Casper on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 21:49pm |
Order update: Posted by Follower on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 22:04pm |
Might as well point this out, Dodger Stadium is having like a Fireworks tribute to the 2019 Rock Hall inductees. It might actually be after tonight's game. They said something about it on the telecast yesterday afternoon. Posted by Casper on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 22:07pm |
God, they also got tonight ABSOLUTELY right by not having dumb tribute performances. They might have one for Aretha or whatever but they did NOT have any for Radiohead or Janet Jackson which is PERFECT. If you aren't going to perform or are dead, then there's no reason that some other artist should be performing for you like some second rate tribute artist. Just move the night along and give more time to the people that came to play. Posted by Casper on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 22:29pm |
Disagree on the "no tribute if the artist is dead" part. Dead artists tend to be from a previous era, and a performance by somebody who knows what he's doing can be a great way to introduce the inductee to the audience. Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes giving a tribute to Sister Rosetta Tharpe was the highlight of last year's show. For the rest you're spot on, Casper. Posted by The_Claw on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 22:42pm |
I think most of us were having nightmares of Coldplay covering Radiohead. Thankfully did not come to pass. Posted by Casper on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 22:49pm |
Bon Jovi. Def Leppard. Motley Crue. Posted by Casper on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 22:51pm |
So Chris Cornell, who was not in the Hall, gets a tribute performance, but Aretha Franklin, the first woman to be inducted, doesn't? Posted by Follower on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 23:13pm |
Eh. I think the point here is that they were filler that took away from the actual inductees on a given evening. Sticking to an annual In Memoriam video makes a lot more sense. Posted by Casper on Friday, 03/29/2019 @ 23:34pm |
Full Order! Posted by Follower on Saturday, 03/30/2019 @ 00:16am |
It MIGHT be possible for HBO to include everything. They'll probably just cut a song from each artist. But the lack of anything other than a speech/award pick-up from Radiohead/Janet means they saved a lot of time. None of the songs performed are particularly long, so it's probably no more than 90 minutes of music, total, so that's just a 2 1/2 hour special if there's an hour of talking. Posted by Casper on Saturday, 03/30/2019 @ 00:20am |
It was basically four songs a performer, five for The Cure and Roxy had a medley that got them to more than four total. So that's 17 songs. Posted by Casper on Saturday, 03/30/2019 @ 00:22am |
Sorry, about 22 songs and closer to 90 minutes. Five performers performed, not four. And the count goes up by one more thanks to the All Star Jam. Posted by Casper on Saturday, 03/30/2019 @ 00:23am |
Well, since most of us including myself weren't there to see it firsthand, it looks like we missed quite a lot from tonight's ceremony. Or maybe not. Sure sounds like a lot of weirdness went on, but nothing extreme if you know what I mean. This is judging from tweets from those who were there in person. Posted by Jason Voigt on Saturday, 03/30/2019 @ 00:51am |
I was correct about Stevie Nicks opening and Def Leppard closing. Most of us were correct about Def Leppard closing. As so many of us said Def Leppard is the act that made sense as the closer. They had the most momentum. A lot if us really were really guessing on the other acts. Posted by Ben on Saturday, 03/30/2019 @ 09:47am |

Every year around this time we get the story that 7% or 8% of RNRHOF members are women. Doesn't seem right does it? It implies that women are being passed over for less deserving men. OK, fair enough, let's look at who is NOT in (snubbed). I've included this site's Rock Rankings as a rough indicator of importance (I've left out bands of mixed membership like B-52's and The Pixies): Posted by Classic Rock on Saturday, 03/30/2019 @ 21:30pm |
Nothing really, except that at least 90% of the voters in that ranking exercise were males. Posted by joker on Saturday, 03/30/2019 @ 22:02pm |

Ben, I appreciate that, but truthfully, feel free to predict whomever you'd like. I'm more impressed with ballot predictions that are rooted in the reality of how the Hall operates. If I'm being honest, right now, it wouldn't surprise me one iota if the MC5 was the only act that peaked during the '60's to be on the ballot this October. The reaction to this class being both bigger and more modern has been overwhelmingly positive, and that may continue. Posted by Philip on Sunday, 03/31/2019 @ 10:36am |

Richie, you sure like having us make lists. Posted by Casper on Sunday, 03/31/2019 @ 15:31pm |
That would actually be an even better ballot and class than this last year which I wouldn't have thought possible. Pretty much everyone has a better case than Nicks/Def Leppard and the would-be inductees stack up comparably to who was just inducted. The Zombies have a flimsier case, as well, than most of those names on my above hypothetical ballot. Posted by Casper on Sunday, 03/31/2019 @ 15:37pm |
Eventually, the Hall will need to either surprise us by inducting B-list post-punk acts (compared to, say, The Cure) like B-52s or The Replacements OR they'll need to make up for inducting super popular acts like Depeche Mode by finally getting to Smashing Pumpkins, Alice In Chains, Weezer, Soundgarden, etc. Posted by Casper on Sunday, 03/31/2019 @ 15:40pm |
BTW, Soundgarden would get in immediately as well. Not a risky proposition whatsoever. Too easy for guitar bands to go, "Sure" and cast votes for them. Posted by Casper on Sunday, 03/31/2019 @ 15:41pm |

My picks for 2020 Class Posted by Kyle on Sunday, 03/31/2019 @ 23:37pm |
I should mention that I sort of forgot I had Zevon on my fictional ballot when I was figuring out who would get in. For years, I have stated that he would be a total lock the second he makes it onto a ballot, but if the field is THAT crowded as the ballot I made above, then he'd be anything but a slam dunk (still a major contender though). Posted by Casper on Sunday, 03/31/2019 @ 23:45pm |
Blink-182 has no business ever even being brought up into the conversation. They are well liked by 12 year olds being dragged to the museum by their parents. That's it. Posted by Casper on Sunday, 03/31/2019 @ 23:46pm |
If any act is being voted by 12 year olds dragged into the museum, it's solo Freddie Mercury. Older Millennials and Younger Gen Xer's still like Blink-182. Posted by Follower on Monday, 04/1/2019 @ 00:08am |
“Where is Blink-182? They are leading in the Hall Vote Your Choice, so it's possible.” Posted by The Dude on Monday, 04/1/2019 @ 00:09am |
We'll see, Dude. A lot of it depends on how much sway the public vote at the museum actually has. I really wanna say that Stevie Nicks' induction is pretty indicative, but we'll see. Nicks also has the cache with the boomer crowd, which Blink definitely doesn't have. It's still highly up in the air, but it will be interesting to watch.

Regarding Evelyn McDonell’s article, “The Manhandling Of Rock ‘N’ Roll History. Yes, I do believe that more female artists should be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. However, I am not as likely to vote for the Go-gos, as I would The Bangles. I am much more likely to vote for Carly Simon and Carole King, then I am The Runaways. If the unthinkable did actually happen, i.e a completely female ballot, it might look somewhat like this: Posted by Enigmaticus on Monday, 04/1/2019 @ 10:49am |

Well enig Shania Twain and Martina McBride seem unlikely. Other than them your list has quite a few possibilities. I think other possible candidates could beJudy Collins, Melanie, Lucinda Williams, The Marvelettes, Mary Wells and Rickie Lee Jones. Posted by Greg F on Monday, 04/1/2019 @ 15:44pm |
It wouldn't even have to be *purely* women, they could do better with including more multi-gender bands with prominent female members: B-52s, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Siouxsie And The Banshees, The Carpenters, Sade (the most surprising snub in your list given your often expressed admiration for them as a group). Posted by Shrek on Monday, 04/1/2019 @ 18:13pm |
You forgot to mention Smashing Pumpkins. D'arcy is probably the easiest female to induct other than Carole King's solo career being on the ballot. Posted by Casper on Monday, 04/1/2019 @ 19:41pm |
For us Smashing Pumpkin fans, it's maddening because D'arcy and Billy are still not talking to each other. While there are other talents in the group, I would really only want the classic lineup with James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin along with these two. Live, they were one of the most amazing bands of the 90s in terms of 4 souls in tune with their music collectively... Posted by K-Dawg on Tuesday, 04/2/2019 @ 00:46am |
The easiest woman to induct would be Carol Kaye, as she doesn't have to be on the ballot to get her inducted but can get in through the special category. Posted by The_Claw on Tuesday, 04/2/2019 @ 05:07am |

You know what. I didn’t pick a more Mild Arena Rock band in my predictions. A band like Foreigner or Boston. When I finalize my list on August I will try to fit Foreigner in. Motley Crue are good heavy Metal choice. But so was Judas Priest and they lost out. Bon Jovi was inducted with No problem. I think Motley Crue will be nominated. They can be thought of as Arena Rock for sure. They have this movie in their favor but An Arena Rock band with Pop hits like Foreigner May be on the ballot also. I will figure this out a few months from Now. What do you think? Posted by Ben on Wednesday, 04/3/2019 @ 20:37pm |

Well, the recent inductions of Roxy Music, The Cure and The Zombies into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame last Friday evening, could lead to nominations for Duran Duran and The Bangles and re-nominations for Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode.

Respectfully disagree, Richie. If the Hall snubs the Crue again, it be would more harder to open doors and induct certain bands like Priest and Maiden. There are a lot names who cited them as one of their influences other than the band’s 80’s peers. Nickelback, Hinder, Buckcherry, Trapt, Papa Roach, Manson, Mr. Bungle, Refused, Black Veil Brides, Between the Buried and Me, the list goes on. Alice In Chains and Pantera jumped on the “hair metal” bandwagon before they moved away their original roots. So, both them are and were fans of them.

Ben and Company. The RRHOF NOM COM never does things the way you expect. I think the metal choices will be Alice In Chains and Iron Maiden or Iron Maiden and Megadeth. There are still members on the Committee that dislike Motley Crue's wild 80's times and debauchery. Iron Maiden has been in the Top 5 of the Rock Voting last few years at the Rock Hall. Might sway some folks. I discovered Cher has sold 100 million units around the globe. That's impressive and might give her a nomination. This Mott The Hoople Ian Hunter love has thrown a wrench in my nominations. Brian May has plenty of clout and respect in the music world and there's plenty of admiration given to Ian Hunter recently. You and Enig might have to vote for Duran Duran in the Snub tourney. It's not looking good for Duran Duran's chances vs. NY Dolls. For 60's bands, 4 have risen to the top for nomination. Procol Harum, Steve Winwood, The Sonics, and Tommy James & The Shondells. KING Posted by KING on Monday, 04/8/2019 @ 14:35pm |

I think some Old Rock acts that can be nominated in the next 2 years are Jethro Tull, Todd Rundgren, Bad Company, Doobie Brothers, Emerson,Lake and Palmer, Steve Winwood, Don Henley and Foreigner. These will not all be nominated for 2020. But perhaps in a 2 year period of 2020 and 2021. Posted by Ben on Tuesday, 04/9/2019 @ 15:38pm |

I think people are not necessarily believing that Blink-182 can maintain their spot at the top of the kiosk voting thorough the end of the year when nominations happen; and also having a hard time seeing them nominated given the recent trends of the nomination committee. I mean it seems like the two people most pushing for punk and metal groups are Tom Morello and Dave Grohl. And both of them seem to be pushing for the heroes of their youth rather than bands that were their contemporaries. If Soundgarden and Smashing Pumpkins can't get nominations, why would we think Blink-182 could? Posted by Shrek on Wednesday, 04/10/2019 @ 17:44pm |

I just want to say that there is a lot of 80s acts I would like to see get in. A few years ago some had me pegged as Just a Fan of the Old Classic Rock fan of the 60s and 70s. That’s Not totally True. A lot of my Favs are those Old Classic acts like Eric Clapton, Neil Young And Steely Dan. There is however plenty of 80s acts I love. I love the Pretenders,The Cars,Pat Benatar, Cyndi Lauper, Joe Jackson,Squeeze, The Bangles and many others. Posted by Ben on Thursday, 04/11/2019 @ 15:12pm |
Hey I just thought of a Female artist to be Nominated some time. Suzanne Vega. She is great. Nobody has brought her Up. Could the Alarm and the Replacements Get Nominated? These are some other 80s acts to think about. I guess Simple Minds will Never happen. I do know them though. Just some more 80s to mention. Posted by Ben on Thursday, 04/11/2019 @ 18:44pm |

Hey Everyone I am updating my Predictions for the 2020 Nominees.This is the last time before the Summer I will update. But you see I had several 70s acts and I was slightly short on 80s. The 80s has been a focus in the last few years. Posted by Ben on Friday, 04/12/2019 @ 18:54pm |
Ben, Posted by richie on Friday, 04/12/2019 @ 19:51pm |
Thing to remember is that when it comes to Boston and Bad Company and Doobie Brothers (etc.), it's clear that the recent ballot was a reaction AGAINST those artists getting in with ease due to being classic rock picks. No doubt in my mind that The Doobie Brothers would be inducted immediately if they WERE on the ballot, but that would come at the expense of the pet favorites of other members of the nominating committee. Your own favorite has a much lower chance of getting in if a spot is "reserved" for a classic rock act. Posted by Casper on Saturday, 04/13/2019 @ 00:13am |
The reason I adjusted my list in fact was to increase the 80s. I sacrificed Bad Company for an 80s spot. I added The Smiths for another 80s act. This lowers the Classic Rock. I do love the Rock known as Classic Rock. I am Not trying to make a list based on my musical tastes. The game is to try to get as many guesses right. I do certainly like some Bad Company a lot. That doesn't mean the Hall will agree by nominating them. Neither Bad Company or the Doobie Brothers have been nominated thus far. Posted by Ben on Saturday, 04/13/2019 @ 08:58am |

I want to cover a much more usual Genre for me. The Prog. I think next year will be the year Jethro Tull are nominated. I would expect them to be inducted as well. They got that Illegitimate Grammy back around 1987. But as a Prog choice they are perfect. Jethro Tull were a rather major act in the 1970s. The Hall skipped a year for a Key prog. One could say Roxy Music are but they are also associated with Glam and an avant guard style that is Not entirely Prog. Enig an elaborate. Posted by Ben on Monday, 04/15/2019 @ 11:58am |
Re-reading my post, I actually misspoke. It probably varies from market to market, depending on how they were promoted, but all those acts were considered "heavy metal." I never heard the term "hair metal" until the early 2000's, which was used. The markers generally included big hair, wild personae, big stage shows (often leaning heavily on pyrotechnics), etc. VH, GnR, and DL definitely by those metrics could be, and generally were, lumped in. And the descriptor was generally to differentiate them from metal acts such as Metallica and Anthrax. Posted by Philip on Monday, 04/15/2019 @ 21:09pm |

In regards to the phrase "Hair Metal", you guys are correct in stating that this label was after the fact, coined in the early to mid 90's, as a derogatory term, making fun of the outrageous styles and hair of the 80's Rock scene. From what I recall, the correct description is "Glam Metal", which is defined as a sub genre of Heavy Metal. Also, there is Pop Metal, which is a mixture of Glam metal and Heavy metal, which has been said, Def Lepperd incorporated into their style. Posted by Will N. on Wednesday, 04/17/2019 @ 01:20am |
"Hair metal" I believe I first heard in the late 80s, but it was a colloquial term, as I was just a young kid by the end of the decade...they also called it "butt rock" here. It was meant derogatory, as in a guilty pleasure...but it did lump in Def Leppard, Crue, and Bon Jovi. I think it's mainly due to a couple compilation albums put out by Time Life around the time...metal ballads in the mid to late 80s to about 1991 were the main focus of these lumpings. It's largely appreciated today, although occasionally to mean people who think the late 80s were the last great era of rock n roll and despise grunge, of which I am not one... Posted by K-Dawg on Wednesday, 04/17/2019 @ 06:35am |
I am going to move on to another genre. I think Pat Benatar is a good pick for a female of Regular Rock in the 80s. I mean if Stevie Nicks can get in for her solo career then surely Pat Benatar can surely get in. She has to be nominated first. Her first 4 albums were solid albums in her career. Her early albums had very slightly Hard Rock. She was mellower by the time of hits like We Belong. Posted by Ben on Wednesday, 04/17/2019 @ 09:04am |
IMO, Guns n Roses was never any kind of 'hair' or 'metal' band. They were/are a hard rock band with members who have long hair. Posted by Paul in KY on Wednesday, 04/17/2019 @ 09:56am |

Dude, I just don't think T-Rex has enough material to get in. Due to that guy's untimely death, but the Hall (or members) don't seem to give a deceased artist (see Croce, Jim) the benefit of the doubt that they would have made more killer music.

I do acknowledge the fact that Mott the Hoople, and Ian Hunter, are great, highly influential, and worthy of Rock Hall nomination. However, I believe that T. Rex are even more influential and had achieved a higher level of stardom and popularity, so be it in Great Britain and Europe, rather than the U.S. They were pioneers in the Glam Rock movement, along with Bowie, Slade, Roxy Music, etc. I think it would be safe to say that T. Rex should already be in the RRHOF. Posted by Will N. on Friday, 04/19/2019 @ 00:18am |

I see a LOT of 60s and early 70s predictions popping up. This is just my opinion, but I feel the Hall is already saturated with these acts. While there is a vocal contingent that believes no good music was created after 1972, the contemporary voters are going to select stuff they grew up with. The swing has been into the 80s for a few years now, and with the 90s fading into the past year by year, we will soon get a glut of that decade. Voters can select whoever they want, but they, like everyone, will get older. I don't see many more 60s acts getting in through conventional means. I will admit I have a couple pet favorites (Monkees, Jethro Tull if you really can consider them 60s but prog is on a different level for its due, and they will get in this year or next); however, the time for the 80s to fully be embraced towards the 90s is now in full swing.

Well, the day which we have long been waiting for has finally arrived, the day when H.B.O. airs the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony at 8 p.m. E.D.T. Before I render a criticism of this ceremony, I will obviously need to see it for myself. Of course, I am most looking forward to the inductions of: Stevie Nicks (as a solo artist), Roxy Music and The Zombies (three artists which I had supported for induction and had predicted to be inductees nearly 5 months ago). I had also predicted unsurprisingly that Def Leppard and The Cure would join them. So, I did manage to pick 5/7 of the inductees and I had also implied that Radiohead could possibly be inducted. Posted by Enigmaticus on Saturday, 04/27/2019 @ 03:39am |
So the day has finally arrived when HBO airs the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony at 8PM EDT. I went to some trouble to watch this. I wiil Sleepover at my brother's place. He can be rather annoying. I was all set to watch the whole thing tonight But I forgot I am Working until 8PM. It's several miles away from my brother's place. I can watch the whole thing on HBO at 6AM. My brother flipped out over this slight change.He apparently changed his plans just so I can watch it. Posted by Ben on Saturday, 04/27/2019 @ 10:46am |

Approximately 7 years ago, just prior to my first blog entry on this website, two Music reviewers, Bill Smith and Kevin Davis Of The Rock Office had chosen their “Top Ten Bands Who Should Be In The Rock Hall but Aren’t.” I have updated their list to see how many of their snubs have been inducted since then and in which year, they had been inducted.

Nope, Enig, 5/7, not 6. You didn't list them as a prediction, and you don't get to retcon that prediction. Five of my top seven seeds got in, and I mentioned that I had strongly considered seeding Roxy Music at #4, but eventually decided against it. I'm not claiming Roxy as a correct prediction for that mention. Posted by Philip on Saturday, 04/27/2019 @ 20:25pm |

I just watched the 2019 Rock and Roll Ceremony on HBO. I Missed the Last Couple on HBO. I would have rather watched last years on HBO with acts like the Cars, Nina Simone and the Sensational Moody Blues. Most of you know I am a huge fan of them. This was Not the most amazing Hall Ceremony I have seen. In recent Years I have loved the 2013,2016,2017 and 2018 Ceremonies. I watched those last 2 in Segments on You Tube. Posted by Ben on Sunday, 04/28/2019 @ 09:48am |
I will continue and correct. I am doing a correction of the last paragraph. It's no surprise that Radiohead did Not perform. I do Not know their music very Well at all. Ive never given them a chance. I have recently sampled Karma Police, I may download it. Just so you know I own a whole bunch of tunes from Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. And hey where is Soundgarden? I mentioned the Zombies. It's simply Old Age that made the performance kinda mediocre.Other 60s acts have aged much better in fact. Like the Moody Blues. The Zombies are not going to perform as they did 50 years ago. And there is of course Def Leppard. They gave a terrific performance, I was into their music a bit in the 80s. The ceremony was Ok. We look to next year.

I am Not a big New Wave/80s Alt fan but I have my Moments. So I am kinda flexible. Simple Minds is Another Group I Don’t mind that much and there is also the Psychedelic Furs.

I very much enjoyed the ceremony telecast. Stevie Nicks was in great form, her set was outstanding. She put on proper display what a "Rock Star" she is; which was the best way to hush up the people who have been nitpicking her resume for the honor of a second induction. Posted by Shrek on Monday, 04/29/2019 @ 13:15pm |
As I said Stevie Nicks was Very Good. One thing I must Say is it was long but Good. I forgot to mention Janet Jackson. I have never Owned a single thing From Janet Jackson. The Janet Jackson segment was uneventful without a performance. It may be Just as well. My view is Not as severe as Enig’s. Posted by Ben on Monday, 04/29/2019 @ 14:19pm |
Disintegration is the album that got me to reevaluate The Cure. I wasn't a Goth kid, I was a Deadhead. But when I heard that album playing in a record store, it totally blew me away due to the psychedelic mood of the big long instrumentals. It made me totally reassess the band and go back and listen to all of their output through their various eras, and I came to respect and enjoy each step along the way of their history - appreciating each shift in style for the merits of what they were trying to accomplish at the time. I also liked The Smiths, though again I wasn't really in their normal fan demographic. But I liked Johnny Marr's guitar work and I appreciated the literary allusions in Morrissey's lyrics as well as his dry dark wit. Posted by Shrek on Monday, 04/29/2019 @ 14:52pm |

A Genre That seems to have shrunk on Ballots recently is R&B. Rap does fine But NOT R&B. I see The Spinners and Tina Turner Having a real decent Chance as nominees for 2020. I will most likely forego Cher in favor of Tina Turner. What they have in common is Big Solo Careers.Tina Turner is however Good R&B to a good extent. She also goes back to the Early 60s due to her Career with Ike. She had more success as a Solo act. She was indicted with Ike Turner but NOT for her solo Career. There is also the Spinners that should get Nominated. The Meters May make a Return with another Nomination. I am much more into Rock but I am into a decent amount of Old R&b. And How about the Commodores. I predict they will be nominated Coming up soon. NOT Lionel Richie. He became to Adult Contemporary ahh but the Commodores. That’s different.

Just discovered a classic rock station at LA that now plays Queens of the Stone Age’s “No One Knows,” and Linkin Park’s “Numb.” By the end of this decade in the next few years or so, the 2000’s will get a complete induction into the format. And I’ve also noticed another classic rock station at Louisville now plays the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army.” Posted by The Dude on Sunday, 05/5/2019 @ 00:33am |
I would point out that Tina overcame an abusive relationship, but she didn't have that large of a career; her induction probably would be more noted for acknowledging her contributions separate of Ike. There are members of the Hall of Fame that have had lesser contributions that are in...Stevie Nicks wasn't a prime candidate herself this year, and yet she got in despite the vast bulk of her career being with Fleetwood Mac. And, I love "What's Love Got to Do With It" (The song that is). Just another perspective. Posted by K-Dawg on Sunday, 05/5/2019 @ 14:20pm |

Ever heard of prog Jazz, Phil? It’s been around long before prog rock. So, Sade could be consider as that in Enig’s opinion. While Boston was an arena/hard rock band, they did added some elements of prog. Posted by The Dude on Sunday, 05/5/2019 @ 22:59pm |

Hey there. Boston are not even going to be nominated any time soon. No way! They are known mainly for the Debut album in 1976. I was into Boston quite a bit when I was 12-16 years old. That was mostly in the late 70s. Both Boston and Foreigner are archetypes of 70s arena rock. Foreigner can easily be nominated though. They had a few key albums with the Debut,Doublevision and 4. Also they had hits from 1977-1985. Both Boston and Foreigner added elements of Prog. Posted by Ben on Monday, 05/6/2019 @ 08:45am |
The thing that's wrong with being called "Phil" is that I don't like being called "Phil." It's as basic as that. If I had a nickname that I liked, I would use that as the screen name I enter on this forum, but I don't. It's a simple matter of respect, and I would ask for that rudimentary courtesy.

The Progressive Rock/ Proto-Prog/ Jazz Fusion discussion is very intriguing, and the origins of all 3 genres occurred in the same time period. Jazz Fusion is NOT a sub-genre of Prog Rock, as the beginnings of Jazz Fusion was born after the death of John Coltrane in 1967, and traditional Jazz was at a crossroads. Larry Coryell, referred to as the Godfather of jazz fusion, stated that a lot of jazz musicians love Miles Davis, but they also love the Rolling Stones, so in 1966 he formed The Free Spirits, releasing "Out of Sight and Sound" in 1967. He then collaborated with The Gary Burton Quartet, who released the jazz/rock album "Duster", in 1967.Also of note, the Jazz record label Verve released the first album by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention,"Freak Out" in 1966. Jazz Fusion is defined as a music genre that originated in the late 60's when musicians combined jazz harmony and improvisation with Rock music, Funk, and rhythm and blues. Originally referred to as jazz rock, the term jazz fusion was first coined in 1968 in a review on an album titled "Song of Innocence", by David Axelrod, which has been said to have had some influence on Miles Davis for "Bitches Brew". Tony Williams, a member of Miles Davis' band since 1963, left to form his own band, The Tony Williams Lifetime band, with guitarist John McLaughlin, and organist Larry Young, and put out the jazz rock album "Emergency", considered as one of first major Jazz Fusion records, released 3 months before Bitches Brew. Of course, Miles Davis went on to release the fusion album, "In A Silent Way", and John McLaughlin formed Mahavishnu Orchestra. Posted by Will N. on Wednesday, 05/8/2019 @ 02:11am |

"You really did not notice the emoticon in my last posting? Of course, I know that the Saxophone has been an important instrument in early Rock & Roll. But, I did not add the Roll part to it, I added the Rock part only. The traditional instruments for Rock (not Rock & Roll band’s) are: guitars, drums, bass and vocals. When you add embellishments such as: keyboards, strings, reeds and brass instruments to rock, you get prog. " Posted by Philip on Wednesday, 05/8/2019 @ 16:46pm |

Is it revisionism to classify a band as “prog,” when they were not decades ago? 👌No, not necessarily because in many instances those rock music critics had their own biases, therefore they had not accurately described what they had been listening to.👌 In many instances, Rock music critics are failed musicians themselves, who are envious of much more successful musicians. 👌Why do you think that Rush and Duran Duran and most prog bands had received terrible album reviews? Because, those critics had been jealous. 😡 Posted by Cheesecrop on Thursday, 05/9/2019 @ 20:28pm |

I think excellent groups who have never been even nominated are worse snubs. People argue about Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk not being inducted. That is TRUE. Both have been nominated multiple times. No inductions. At some point, the RRHOF voters have to accept some of the responsibility. These are in many cases the greatest musicians of all time. Many musicians will attend concerts of other bands and love live music. Sometimes in the case of Chicago, ELO, Moody Blues etc, it's just getting on the ballot. Then, they are quickly voted in by the voters. What can be done? I think the Top 3 Eligible Vote Getters on a Special Music Voters poll should be nominated. I know the Hall itself has started a voting thing. RRHOF would still have 15 artists or groups to nominate. I liked the 19 more expansive ballot although the 15 last time worked out well. They could even be creative and have 1 of the recent inductees propose a nominee for the next ballot. To me, some of the biggest snubs of artists who have never been nominated are: Alice In Chains, Black Crowes, Duran Duran, Iron Maiden, Peter, Paul & Mary, Smashing Pumpkins etc. KING'S QUESTION OF THE DAY: Of the eligible artists, who are the 5 or 10 biggest snubs of the artists or singers who have NEVER even been nominated?

After that through now, most critics are just hipsters in nature who make their reviews look all “cool and edgy” while showing that they’re “smarter” than anybody else, and they mostly listen to College radio.

On Celine Dion: I noticed these award shows and other programs they respect and value artists who overcome tragedy and hardships. A perseverance if you will. She's continued after the death of her husband Rene and a brother Daniel. Both from cancer a few days apart. I think Def Leppard who was inducted this year 2019 also was respected for continuing despite a string of tragedies that struck the band. Dion has plenty going for her in albums sales sheer volume, hits, influencing other 90's and 2000's singers. She also shows versatility and talent singing in English, French, and other languages. It would be difficult to say when Celine would be nominated. Maybe, 2025 or 2026. My guess Carole King, Cher, Mariah Carey, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, etc would be nominated 1st. KING Posted by KING on Saturday, 05/18/2019 @ 23:41pm |
As the calendar moves towards June, the clamor and shouts for more Women Inducted Into The RRHOF will intensify. In this regard, I think the RRHOF has received an undue lashing. Let's examine the last 20+ years. Stevie Nicks has been inducted 2x, Ann and Nancy Wilson (Heart), Blondie, Bonnie Raitt, Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders), Darlene Love, Janet Jackson, Joan Baez, Joan Jett, Linda Ronstadt, Madonna, The Ronnettes, The Staple Sisters, Tina Weymouth (Talking Heads). The RRHOF also inducted long overdue and deceased artists Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Nina Simone. I'm missing a few others. Other deserving female artists like Annie Lennox and Chaka Khan have been nominated. Chaka several times. Posted by KING on Sunday, 05/19/2019 @ 00:43am |

It is Now back to Rock. I was also thrown off by that amazing list of Top bands that the Follower posted from some writer. As far as that list I had a good run with the Top Bands 1969-1994.Of course I own Lots of Led Zeppelin,Pink Floyd and the Talking Heads. But I also own some Pearl Jam from 1993 and Green Day from 1994. Then with Oasis in 1995 I own nothing. I didnt like some things Noel Gallagher said about the Beatles. Some of you may know what I'm talking about. I always respect the Beatles that I started with early on in my life. I am also Not into much at all from those Smashing Pumpkins. But hey I am sure both these bands will be inducted somewhat soon. Posted by Ben on Monday, 05/20/2019 @ 23:13pm |
I just neeed to make a correction. I said I had a Good Run with The Top Band thru 1994. That’s false for me. I own NOTHING by the Top band of 1985 THE CURE. NEVER liked them.

I'll do the 80s/90s later - the most snubbed set of decades and where we should expect the vast majority of inductees own the pipeline to come from. Main point of this exercise is that the Rock Hall really isn't THAT far behind on 50s/60s/70s Performers that can actually be inducted with this electorate.

Philip had brought this up last year, but I also think that placing several more female artists on the 2020 Nominating Committee ballot would be a great idea. I think that Pop Dose’s article, ‘The Rock and Roll Fall Of Fame’s Woman Problem’ by Matthew Bolin lists several great female artists and bands which should be on the Nominating Committee’s ballot, including: Sade, Carly Simon, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Sheryl Crow, The Bangles, Björk and k.d. lang, each of which I have previously advocated for.

I don't have a bunch of statistics or stories to back me up, I just can go on my feelings for this one. I think that Judas Priest was very close last year. I would prefer that Iron Maiden got in first, but honestly something has to break this wall that has metal being denied. A large contingent of metal fans were enraged when Metallica released the Black Album, considering it a sellout, although I was not one of them. It probably hastened their induction into the RRHOF, along with their name, some old guard probably were thinking "oh look, we're covering our bases and inducting THE metal band". I get the feeling they were inducting the 1991 Metallica, not the 80s one that so many fans clamored for. That said, as we all know, there are 4 pillars of metal. The other 3 are considered to be Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax. Megadeth has only gotten a cursory look. I haven't really heard a word about Slayer or Anthrax. At some point, I think this will be addressed. Posted by K-Dawg on Friday, 05/24/2019 @ 03:50am |

K-Dawg, regarding Judas Priest, they performed HORRIBLY in the voting results for the one time they have been on the ballot (two years ago). We know this because a nominating committee member flat out said this was the case. Posted by Casper on Friday, 05/24/2019 @ 12:42pm |
I'm a child of the 80s and 90s, so really I can only venture that the reason there is so much 50-60-70 music and not so much my own generations of music is because it's a lot of what the committee likes, but there are artists in there that really have not made half the impact that snubbed bands of the 80s have. I really think we will have to wait up to 15 years to see a lot of what Gen X grew up with get its due. Rap getting some acts inducted in recent years has been encouraging, but we just finally have started to get new wave, with the induction of the Cure. A huge chunk of the old voters are still trying to put in their pet projects of the 60s who are really beyond tertiary choices. Sorry if this seems a big ramble, it's just some of my thoughts for where the Hall and its voters stand. It really is hard to make this a neat essay in the small space they give us to write. All feedback is welcome and this is a great group of music fans! Posted by Cheesecrop on Friday, 05/24/2019 @ 21:08pm |

The rest of 90s bands like Weezer, Blink-182, RATM, Soundgarden, Alice in chains, Oasis, Smashing Pumpkins,and others should deserve an honor for their sound, talent, quality, influence and songwriting. Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Slayer, Megadeth, and others deserved to be in as the hall undeniably needs more metal. Classic bands/artists like Doobie Brothers, Jethro Tull, Devo, Todd Rundgren, King Crimson, Lenny Kravitz, and others should be in before they nominate 21st century bands/artists. There's a voice your choice kiosk on who would you like to see getting nominated by voting. Posted by Navonte Robertson on Monday, 05/27/2019 @ 08:49am |
Still, I find this Fan Vote kiosk at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame somewhat unsettling. For example, since many of us have never been to Cleveland, nor probably will go to Cleveland, I think that a better solution would be to offer an on-line kiosk at the Rock Hall website. You get to log in once per day, just as you do when voting for the Rock Hall Nominees who you wish to see inducted. Posted by Enigmaticus on Monday, 05/27/2019 @ 12:23pm |

I get that the RRHOF is an international venue, as it should be, but if we can't even get some of the more basic American metal bands in, we are a long way off from the likes of international greats like Mastodon, the immortal Sepultura, et al. And secondly, the goof troop that is the voters committee can't even put in the godfathers of techno, Kraftwerk, in when they should've been in 10 years ago, for the only reason I can think of that they don't come from North America or across the pond on the Isles. The fact that most of the bands are American or British in the RRHOF is another thing that needs to be addressed but probably never will ;/ Posted by K-Dawg on Monday, 05/27/2019 @ 14:02pm |

Wow, today is already the last day of May. Tomorrow is June 1, 2019. Three weeks from today, I will celebrate the 20th anniversary of my first day at my present position. On September 3, 2019, it will mark the official 20th anniversary. Also on September 12, it will officially mark my 30th anniversary of my E.A.O.S. On October 13, it will mark 31 years since my last official vacation. Although one can argue that if you do not consider a 1 1/2 day safari in Kenya a vacation, then my last official vacation was 3 rain drenched days in Tokyo, Japan over 32 years ago. If you do not consider those 3 rain drenched days a vacation, then my last vacation had actually been my trip to Denver, Colorado with my mother and sister, almost 45 years ago.

I don't think there's any doubt Jethro Tull is on the very cusp of being nominated, and likely enshrined. They are easily probably the biggest omission of the prog acts, and innovative classic rock overall, from that late 60s-early 70s period. Especially since the Moody Blues got in a couple years ago. I wasn't pleased with the entirety of the 2019 class, but I understand why each nominee got in, and it does open the door for more deserving acts. Posted by K-Dawg on Thursday, 06/6/2019 @ 20:09pm |
I don't see Jethro Tull being nominated in 2019. My guess they (The Committee) will go with Procol Harum. The brilliance of Procol Harum has stood the test of time plus they have 2 or 3 strong advocates. There's also plenty of worthy 70's bands that could be nominated instead of Jethro Tull. Bad Company, Blue Oyster Cult, Doobie Brothers, Foreigner, J. Geils Band, T. Rex, Thin Lizzy to name a few. It's impossible what direction the Committee might go. They could swing back and nominate 5 or 6 70's Rock Bands or they could advance into the 80's. Selecting Bryan Adams, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, The Eurythmics for example. Jethro Tull will not be on my 2019 Final List. Posted by KING on Thursday, 06/6/2019 @ 20:45pm |

Alice In Chains might be "too metal" for the NOMINATING COMMITTEE, but they would easily get the votes to be inducted (as would Soundgarden or Smashing Pumpkins). Too much respect from critics and the many guitar-band inductees that clog the voting rolls. These groups are not inductees simply because the 30 person committee is blocking their way. Posted by Casper on Sunday, 06/9/2019 @ 13:27pm |
One thing to always remember is who is actually doing the nominating and voting. That increases the chances of artists who are inducted picking their contemporaries for induction. Posted by Eric Tompkins on Sunday, 06/9/2019 @ 21:38pm |
Now who I think SHOULD be nominated is a little different. Posted by Eric Tompkins on Sunday, 06/9/2019 @ 21:51pm |
I see that that there are plenty on board Right Now with Tina Turner solo. I predicted her last year and it failed. But maybe that was because Janet Jackson was still being nominated. Now that Janet J. is out of the way and inducted the path is clear for Tina Turner. Tina Turner has been in my predictions a couple of years. I looked her up on Wikipedia. She is 79 Years Old. She will be 80 later this year. So the Hall can't waste time on a 2X induction at all. I like quite a bit of Tina Turner. I saw her in concert once. She always puts on a good show. Posted by Ben on Monday, 06/10/2019 @ 05:51am |
@ Eric Tompkins Posted by The Dude on Monday, 06/10/2019 @ 09:19am |
Two thoughts: If Tina Turner is nominated, I hope I see it more in the vein of having Stevie Nicks and Janet simultaneously, and don't just chock one up to tokenism and say "we nom woman"; Whitney has been gone for 7 years, and as much as Tina deserves to be in when she's alive, Whitney is long overdue to be honored as well, and it would be a very fitting tribute to have them go in at the same time.

Guns N' Roses music (IMO) is so much better than the Crues. Plus GNR wasn't a semi-parody of a hair/glam metal band like I think of The Crue. Posted by Paul in KY on Monday, 06/10/2019 @ 14:53pm |

Yes, I do remember that. And it is possible that they may do poorly when they are nominated again. It is also quite possible that Motley Crue might do poorly as well and I suspect Iron Maiden might do worse than either of them. Posted by Eric Tompkins on Monday, 06/10/2019 @ 19:43pm |

Honestly, I don't see why Alice In Chains wouldn't be nominated and inducted this cycle. They are part of the Big 4 with Nirvana and Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Nirvana and PJ both were inducted as 1st time nominees. Impressive work! I think it's AIC's time. The band now has a BL (Before Layne) and AL (After Layne) period. I give Jerry Cantrell a KING salute for keeping the band together and successful. A man of his talents could just be a Eric Clapton or Sting or something and do his own thing. I think that will resonate with the Committee. At this point, I see Alice In Chains as a good chance at nomination. Say the Committee doesn't have enough votes for Motley Crue. I would believe Alice In Chains would be a strong candidate. Jerry Cantrell was also at the RRHOF ceremony recently for the Chris Cornell tribute performing on stage with Ann Wilson.

Let’s be honest, the Rock Hall does not include enough female artists. In deference to Eric Layton Of E-Rockracy and his wife Mary Of “Induct Dennis Wilson” and their opinions about inducting more female artists: I am very much in favor of this, especially when Pat Benatar, Sade, Cher, Carole King, Tina Turner (as a solo artist) are concerned. Two months ago, I had listed several female artists, with regards to Evelyn McDonnell. Posted by Enigmaticus on Friday, 06/14/2019 @ 10:56am |

I don't know who keeps pushing this narrative that there haven't been enough women in the RRHOF. A few weeks ago, I posted several women who have been inducted in the last 20 years. It ranges the spectrum. Darlene Love, Donna Summer, Janet Jackson, Joan Jett, Madonna, Nina Simone, Stevie Nicks, Heart (Ann and Nancy), etc. Others like Chaka Khan have been nominated several times and will get in soon. My guess Annie Lennox, Mariah Carey, Pat Benatar, and Whitney Houston will be nominated and or inducted in the next 5 years. Posted by KING on Friday, 06/14/2019 @ 13:10pm |

You know, looking at the recent update from the HOF voting kiosk, I realized that the real message from that system is there are no real "public favorites" - there is no consensus. Post says there have been almost 40,000 votes, and Motley Crue is leading with a bit over 1400 of them. That's only about 3.5% of the voters in their favor. 96.5% of voters didn't choose Motley Crue.

Already listened the most recent episode of Hall Watchers. It is so far the best, but there are so many important metal bands they coulda mention like Venom who not only invented black metal, but are also considered as the first extreme metal band. Pantera is another one they forgot to mention; they may not be the first groove metal band (Exhorder is a must listen), but they did popularized the sub-genre.

And so in fact my Dad liked some Rock up to 1965. He even liked a hit by Simon & Garfunkel in 1966 he liked 2 hits by Mamas and Papas. He mentioned them a few Times. Also It is true there are some Silent Gen Inductees. There is Elvis, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis as well as Dave Clark Five and the Zombies. Not sure what to say about Moody Blues. My Dad Knew nothing about them. My Dad was 35 by the Time the Moody’s Rose to Fame In 1967. But that’s Just my Dad. Those of the Silent Generation Born In 1938 or 39 as Example May have known some Moody Blues.Case In Point Jack Nicholson starred in some Psychedelic movies in the Late 60s And was in Easy Rider. In Fact BOB DYLAN was originally part of the Silent Generation. Bob D was born in 1941 I think. Point well made Dude Posted by Ben on Thursday, 06/20/2019 @ 18:56pm |

He liked a lot of music. His Top fav are Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Bing Crosby. Louis Armstrong, Charlie PArker and Elvis but did hold Out listening to hits until about 1965 when he was disgusted with the Rolling Stones. Posted by Ben on Thursday, 06/20/2019 @ 23:10pm |

Here's a small list of the living Hall of Famers who are the Greatest/GI Generation; a cohort born between the early 1900's to the late 20's before the Great Depression started. While I'm not sure the late Doris Day is Hall material as an Early Influence and the late comic book legend Stan Lee wasn't a figure in music, but their deaths had made me check the current population of their generation. Almost all of them are in their 90's and some are in their 100's. Despite the rapid decline, there are remarkably some left. Posted by The Dude on Friday, 06/21/2019 @ 16:46pm |

In fact in 1991 or so they were part of a new generation of Rock artists. I once saw a Video of head Like a Hole and was horrified. It was a bit much for a previous rock who grew up on Steely Dan, E Clapton, Van Halen, Journey etc etc. Posted by Ben on Monday, 06/24/2019 @ 05:59am |
Also, I am Not posting another list until August. I will Not have my usual hiatus. There is Enig and some others Id say that want me to stay on. But No more lists until August. I will say though besides adding NIN and zilching Blood,Sweat & Tears I expect to add Duran Duran.I did Not originally have enough 80s acts on my list. Duran Duran will solve that. K Dawg has them and certainly EnigmaticusDoes. Not bad for an Old Classic rock fan like me. Posted by Ben on Monday, 06/24/2019 @ 08:43am |

I thought of a Good pick of the 1960s that is NOT the Monkees or Blood,Sweat & Tears. The Guess Who are more likely than either. The Guess Who ere great 1965-1975. And they have a recognizable career. This group found international success from the late 1960s through Mid-70s Posted by Ben on Wednesday, 06/26/2019 @ 06:05am |
Ben, agree with you that The Guess Who are certainly more deserving of induction than The Monkees or BS&T. Posted by Paul in KY on Wednesday, 06/26/2019 @ 07:20am |

I have to point out something that caught my eye. Nickelback, arguably the most maligned rock band in history, is pretty high up. Their first album, Curb, was released in 1996. They are eligible in 2021. Despite them having 2 amazing songs (Never Again, the anti-domestic abuse anthem; and Rockstar, which was an instant classic when it came out), I don't see them getting in maybe within 10-15 years.

Kind of a left field question here...I am of the personal belief that artists like Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, et al., contributed to rock and roll and there is a place for them somewhere in the RRHOF. Posted by K-Dawg on Sunday, 06/30/2019 @ 05:37am |
Do you support a "sliding timeline" for the Early Influence category? That's a good way to get non-rock acts in if they came after rock and roll was officially a thing but still were influential on its later sub-genres. All of those people could get in though Early Influences in the sliding timeline. Posted by Follower on Sunday, 06/30/2019 @ 11:41am |
On the Folk music influence question posed by K-Dawg, I agree on recognizing the contributions of artists like Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and also Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynn. Too Country, maybe? I don't know. I inquired recently on John Denver, more Contemporary Folk, I guess, with a lot of big hits and major impact in music. I don't think his career is a whole lot different than say, James Taylor. Singer/Songwriter contemporary type hits. Easy, melodic, not heavy, slightly rock, with good sales and a lot of airplay. Joan Baez, a little heavier on the Folk, and Cat Stevens, Folk/Rock, a bit more diversity in his music. But with these 3 being inducted, I would think a John Denver or Carole King, Carly Simon, The Carpenters, or Jim Croce could possibly get a nomination at some point. Posted by Will N. on Sunday, 06/30/2019 @ 18:05pm |
Several of the older names should be Early Influence. In fact, I think one reason why some of those people haven't been inducted by that category is that they would overshadow the rock acts. Posted by Follower on Sunday, 06/30/2019 @ 19:09pm |

Dionne Warwick may indeed be deserving. I would add Pattie Labelle to that argument for African American women who achieved great things in an era still dominated by the guys. However, I'm going to jump ahead a couple decades and say Whitney deserves to go in first, as really there are already a couple representatives of 60s greatness in female pop of that genre (Supremes, Gladys Knight, and yes, Aretha Franklin) but the only 80s "diva" in at this point is Ms. Jackson Posted by K-Dawg on Friday, 07/12/2019 @ 02:17am |
There's a lot of snubbed women. Just look at Inspirer's Induct These Women series. Posted by Follower on Friday, 07/12/2019 @ 11:50am |
Ted Nugent is that rare example of someone completely detached from reality that really doesn't deserve to go in based on how much of a mockery he's made himself IMO. It's not his opinions politically, it's his irrationality that scares people and rightly so. He is really a poster child for a lot of complete nuts out there...and this has nothing to do with his hunting Posted by K-Dawg on Friday, 07/12/2019 @ 12:37pm |
Ted may not realize the Hall is based on the original definition of Rock & Roll, but he’s actually right about political correctness keeping some eligible acts off due to their opinions. Most people in my generation don’t realize rock music was against that back in the 70’s and 80’s, and being all PC at the Hall means less diversity imo. People in general are detached from reality and irrational no matter what their views are. Posted by The Dude on Friday, 07/12/2019 @ 12:54pm |
Nugent's politics are really immaterial. That's not to say that they probably wouldn't wind up being an issue if his name were to come up with the people on this nominating committee - but what I actually mean is that absent those political hang-ups, his name would never come up in the first place. Posted by Shrek on Friday, 07/12/2019 @ 15:44pm |
As for Smashing Pumpkins? Posted by Follower on Friday, 07/12/2019 @ 15:44pm |
Smashing Pumpkins absolutely have the resume for a HOF induction. Huge album sales (six top ten albums including a #1 album with a Diamond level certification). Only a handful of mostly minor pop chart hits, but a long list of hits on Alternative radio charts which was a dominating musical trend of their era. Outstanding production techniques; a sophisticated musical approach and good musicianship, competent lyrics. An obvious influence on later Emo style bands. They should go into the HOF. Posted by Shrek on Friday, 07/12/2019 @ 18:50pm |
Honestly, Smashing Pumpkins should have been a 1st ballot nomination. Corgan is 1 of the best lyricists and creative thinkers and writers. Songs like 1979, Disarm, and Today would still sound fresh and unique if they were released in 2019. Take nothing away from Green Day, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against The Machine, Radiohead etc, but Smashing Pumpkins should also have been nominated as a 1st time eligible. Posted by KING on Friday, 07/12/2019 @ 19:59pm |
I am a huge Pumpkins fan. Actually, I keep hoping they'll put off induction mainly in the vain hope that they'll reconcile with D'arcy and reunite proper before they enter the Hall as a group. I consider the best lineup Billy Corgan, James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlin and D'arcy Wretzky. They probably arguably would get in her replacement as well, but it just wouldn't seem right without her; that's as much her fault as it is Billy and his alleged ego, though. Posted by K-Dawg on Saturday, 07/13/2019 @ 01:52am |
One other factor: Nine Inch Nails seems right to me to be the first basically 90s alternative non-grunge group to be inducted; the so-called "second wave" of new rock, although they were around since the mid-80s. They paved the way for the sound that has since eclipsed the 80s and before. Radiohead being inducted first actually was a mistake, in my opinion. However, the Pumpkins are far and away worthy..

I just want reflect on 60s acts again. I have reconsidered Blood,Sweat & Tears as a nominee for 2020. They were a very talented band in their time. I thank King for suggesting I keep Blood,Sweat & Tears. Good point that nobody really knows the 2020 picks. John Prine was picked by surprise. B,S and T stay. And so does the Marvelettes. There is a snub. One of the first Motown groups. Possibly the first with a Top huit. I need a Motown expert here for feedback. Posted by Ben on Sunday, 07/14/2019 @ 07:40am |

Hmmmm - I'm not a Blink 182 fan, couldn't name one of their songs off the top of my head, but saying they've never been an arena sized band seemed incorrect from my casual awareness - so I goggled their tours and based on those findings, they have regularly played amphitheaters, and are currently on tour doing so (with Lil Wayne on the tour as co-headliner as well to help sell tickets, granted). Looking at that historic tour data, they were a theater level band for most of the Nineties, but by 2000 they were doing Amphitheaters and have been ever since - though it does look like they like to throw in occasional theater sized shows, which a lot of big acts like to do now and then for a more intimate show experience treat. Posted by Shrek on Monday, 07/15/2019 @ 14:39pm |
Have seen Blink at Riverbend in Cincinnati with 30,000 others. Posted by Paul in KY on Monday, 07/15/2019 @ 15:24pm |
Even if I’m not right what level Blink is on an touring attraction, they’ll never win that part of the induction process. Another thing I wanna say about the kiosk is there are some names who aren’t eligible yet, but sold over 100 million copies or more and have big potentials to be number one on it once their first release turns 25 at some point like Jay-Z, Eminem, Coldplay, and Linkin Park to name a few for instance. Posted by The Dude on Monday, 07/15/2019 @ 15:50pm |
Anyway, what do you guys think of numbers 3-52? Of the list, besides solo Freddie Mercury who deserves it the least? Aside from blink and Motley do you see any of the others getting nominated this year? Posted by Follower on Tuesday, 07/16/2019 @ 12:17pm |
Cher has a pretty good shot of being nominated and inducted; she’s working on a lot of projects right now, including a biopic. Don’t see Iron Maiden happening, but it starting to look like they some potential to win the kiosk next year. Posted by The Dude on Tuesday, 07/16/2019 @ 12:59pm |
The kiosk list is interesting for sure. Motley Crue holding #1 surprises me, as I've always thought that Iron Maiden and Judas Priest were held much more highly by fans and critics than the Crue, but it is what it is. Posted by Steve Z on Tuesday, 07/16/2019 @ 13:13pm |
Not that I have anything against Blink, I just don’t think they’re on the Hall’s list to induct. Dave Matthews Band is the only 90’s band I could think of that is closer to be successful as Nirvana, Green Day, and Pearl Jam commercially - they’re popular enough to draw a lot of crowds over there.

I did not know that Motley Crue had global sales of 100 million. Living through the 80's, I never thought they were that great of a band. The hair metal scene was too commercial for me, too overblown. I do like the first 2 Motley Crue albums, though, and I will have to give them credit for the success that they have achieved. I think they will be nominated and inducted at some point, maybe not this year, but soon. I think they best represent the Glam Metal genre, more than any other band, and helped to generate the 80's glam metal explosion. Bon Jovi was more Pop Metal, not as heavy. Personally, I feel that there are 25-30 artists or bands out there that are more deserving, but I suppose we will have to see where the chips fall.

Mick Mars is easily the most underrated member from the Crue.

Motley Crue, I feel, will get onto the nominee list by the strength of what carried Def Leppard and Bon Jovi the past couple years. They are a completion of a trinity of "arena rock" "big hair rock" "butt rock" "glam rock", whatever you want to call it. I also feel they would run away with the fan vote, and capture induction in that slot. Their recent movie, along with the notoriety of Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, and Tommy Lee for their individual endeavors as well as their "star power" (not to take anything away from Mick Mars) is easily recognizable, and the Hall likes its celebrities.

Iron Maiden has been top 5 at the HOF kiosk for two years. That should resonate with the Nom Com. Only question is Iron Maiden or Judas Priest. I think Judas Priest should go in 1st by seniority. However, it was leaked out about their low vote total when they were nominated. Maybe, Iron Maiden could do better. We will see in October. KING Posted by KING on Saturday, 07/20/2019 @ 12:56pm |
They could have been lying. In fact, I think the Rock Hall doesn't release vote totals so they can induct Token Black Artists without suspicion. (Bill Withers, NWA, Tupac, Nina Simone, and Janet Jackson) Posted by Follower on Saturday, 07/20/2019 @ 13:46pm |
Iron Maiden, who is my choice the next metal band to be inducted over Judas Priest, would fit the same mold to me that Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode do, which are pioneers of a genre that today has both flourished in its own right as well as influenced numerous sounds that are integral to the sound of the 2000s. As it has been pointed out here, the Nomcom seems to be afraid of metal bands. This is one reason why there has been a glut of 70s pop/rock bands inducted the last 2 or 3 years.

It is possible that Foreigner could get a nomination this time around, but I believe there are quite a few bands that may be more in line for the honor. First of all, I tend to group them with Boston. Both had highly exceptional debut albums, and gradually declined, with the next 2 releases. Foreigner, of course, has a strong comeback with Foreigner 4, with a bunch of hits and commercial appeal, which all will work in their favor with the voters. But, as was previously stated, not too much new or innovative with 4, though I think "Urgent" is a great song. Posted by Will N. on Sunday, 07/21/2019 @ 00:11am |

Let's chat about some other 80s acts possible for the 2020 ballot. Some of those are Pat Benatar, Devo,Duran Duran and Eurythmics. All these are fairly qualified. I think Pat Benatar stands a good chance of induction if she is on the ballot. I am Not sure about the others I mentioned. I think the Hall may want to take shot at Duran Duran following the Cure induction. Duran Duran have a much more commercial as well as progressive side. I am Not a very big fan but Enig speaks a lot of their progressive side. I figure they show their Prog side on the odd track of their albums. I also predict the Smiths. I think they can be nominated at the same time as the Duran Duran. Hey there is a big push for 80s in the hall. Posted by Ben on Thursday, 07/25/2019 @ 11:08am |
This may be the result of not being old enough to remember how the music world was in 1982, but I just don't see Devo more deserving of a spot than some of the other new wave/ alternative rock bands of the time, specifically Duran Duran and Depeche Mode, who have much longer staying power. Pat Benatar is a slam dunk; I don't understand how she wasn't put in a few years ago. I do think Kate Bush doesn't get enough love either. Posted by K-Dawg on Thursday, 07/25/2019 @ 11:38am |
Duran Duran will be the Hall's next new wave band for next year. After that, Depeche Mode will get inducted in 2021 and INXS in 2022 respectively. That would be enough to pick up the medium-sized and smaller names of the genre like Devo, the B-52's, Tears For Fears, Eurythmics, the Go-Go's and Joy Division/New Order.

I do Not like the Cure at all But go figure I don't mind the Smiths and Duran Duran too much. Steve Van Zant hates all New wave as far as I can tell. This means that New wave acts can be picked as nominees for Performers but Not the Song category because that is tightly controlled by Steve Van Zant.

I would like to chime in my prerogative on the New Wave possible prospects and probable nominees, and musically, I tend to prefer the 80's Post Punk/New Wave genres over the more predominant Glam Metal scene, which I felt to be more commercially driven(MTV). But in retrospect, I guess all of it was, except for "College Rock Alternative", which also was born in the same post-Classic/Arena Rock era, sans, B-52's, Pylon, R.E.M., from the great American Athens,GA rock scene.

To chime in on the chances for "African American" nominees on the ballot, I have Whitney Houston as a potential induction, not just a nom; I also listed the Spinners, who have gotten a couple looks but criminally haven't been inducted yet. I think rap will get a year or two off--Biggie, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Outkast and even LL Cool J can make a case for induction; Lil Kim and Missy Elliott are fast coming eligible as well on the women's side. They need to catch up on some pop before rap begins to go through the pipeline. I would surmise Rick James might get a surprise nomination as well. There shouldn't be a shortage of black nominations--quite simply, there is so much from so many genres to clean up since they toss mediocre 60s bands or pet projects in on a whim, that we can't held but nitpick our favorite genres. We are all guilty of it, and it's fine. Posted by K-Dawg on Friday, 07/26/2019 @ 04:08am |

Thanks for the shout-out The Dude! I grew up watching Nickelodeon and Rocko was one of my favorites. On a side note, I was introduced to The B-52's when my Dad used to play a 'Best of New Wave' CD in his car and almost always played 'Rock Lobster.' This happened sometime in the mid-to-late 1990s. Because the song was so different and downright fun, I honestly didn't think it was a real song for the longest time. Posted by Nick on Saturday, 07/27/2019 @ 23:30pm |

I do want do say that although I am a bit opposed to the synth pop. I will certainly represent them in my predictions. My representation of all that is Kraftwerk. Despite my limited knowledge I predict them based on them nominated so many times already. I looked back and found that in 2017 Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk were nominated at the same time. This is not likely again. I figure then Kraftwerk is more likely as a nominee. Going back to topic of 80s The 4 new wave/alternative I now have in mind are B52s,Duran Duran,Eurythmics and the Smiths. I notice you have a left field choice of Los Lobos. They were nominated a few years ago. I am sure about that one but it's possible. Posted by Ben on Sunday, 07/28/2019 @ 09:04am |

I noticed that Nick has done a piece on Joe Cocker, for his Rock and Roll Contenders series, which I have not read yet, but I plan to very soon. I agree that Joe Cocker is very deserving of a Nomination, and he tends to get overlooked every fall, it seems. And what better time to discuss and acknowledge the greatness of Joe Cocker, and what he makes me think of, is Woodstock. With the 50th Anniversary approaching in 3 weeks, it is a good time to discuss one of the Greatest Events in Music History, and also the contribution that Joe Cocker made to Woodstock. Also, Joe Cocker was exceptional in Woodstock '94, when he opened the Saturday show. MTV had broadcast the entire 2 days of performances on PPV, which I recorded, and watched most of it. Posted by Will N. on Sunday, 07/28/2019 @ 23:49pm |
Iron Butterfly, Jethro Tull and Procol Harum would be at the Hall right now if they played at Woodstock. I’ve been hearing about Ian Anderson’s problems with the hippies and their culture. The Beatles were supposed to be there too, but didn’t happen due to their opinions and differences on Yoko Ono having her own spot at the event. Posted by The Dude on Monday, 07/29/2019 @ 01:42am |

I just read Nick's piece on Joe Cocker, with his Rock and Roll Contenders series, and making a great case for Joe Cocker's well deserved nomination and induction for RRHOF. Excellent work, and I learned a few things, especially how Billy Joel is such a great supporter and admirer of the late, great Rock and Soul singer, and was a huge inspiration for him. Also Little Steven, McCartney & Ringo are big fans. I enjoyed the story, and would recommend it for those interested. Posted by Will N. on Tuesday, 07/30/2019 @ 00:46am |

As far as 1960s acts.I will have 3 on the 2020 Ballot. Blood,Sweat & Tears,Marvelettes and Dionne Warwick. I think these are noble choices. The 1960s is certainly a topic closely related to Woodstock. But I have No thoughts on Woodstock artists for this year. Heyy the Marvelettes had success going back to 1961. I will say that the Dude had a great point about Dionne Warwick. She was a key mellow singer in the 1960s and had a lot of success beyond. That's What friends is a good example of that. Posted by Ben on Saturday, 08/3/2019 @ 11:32am |
I’m now starting to believe we’ll get seven inductees for the next class. Posted by The Dude on Saturday, 08/3/2019 @ 14:27pm |
Dude, Posted by Ben on Saturday, 08/3/2019 @ 21:01pm |
Another good reason why Dionne should get in cause she would open doors for the late Whitney Houston. I didn’t know both of them were cousins despite their age difference. Posted by The Dude on Saturday, 08/3/2019 @ 21:33pm |

Trying to find the most accurate part of it. But from what I’ve read on Thelma Houston’s Wikipedia page, she’s not related to Whitney despite their last names, so that could sum up why she wasn’t mentioned on the last link I’ve showed for more info and proof. Thelma is from Mississippi and Whitney was from New Jersey. Posted by The Dude on Saturday, 08/3/2019 @ 23:44pm |
I respect all the love for Dionne Warwick and others, but Whitney Houston shouldn't need the door opened any more. She's proven she belongs, and the longer they wait especially since she tragically passed, the more of a disservice they do her. Dionne Warwick may indeed be worthy, but Whitney should have gone in years ago. Posted by K-Dawg on Sunday, 08/4/2019 @ 02:07am |

Also, enough of putting Woodstock '69 acts in the Hall!

Looking back at all the years, I'd have to anoint 2011 as the worst. From my perspective, the only slam dunk in that class is Neil Diamond. Some fringe artists, and definitely a pet project or 2 in there. I will admit, I'm not the most well-versed in folk rock, and am not all familiar with all of the artists. I do know Alice Cooper and Neil Diamond extensively. The only other class I could give a close argument, and it's not even all that close, is 2015. Stevie Ray Vaughan is the second best act on that list to go in, and if memory serves, he wouldn't have been thought of if they hadn't won the fan vote. Joan Jett, Lou Reed (mind you he already went in with Velvet), and Bill Withers do have merit, but I feel their run was briefer than some before, and nothing against Green Day, they went in 5-10 years before they should have.

In the NFL (football), they are talking about punting their usual 6 inductees per year to increase to a one-time allowance of up to 20 inductees to clear some of the backlog that league has faced in getting eligible players in as more become able to be inducted every year. Do you think the Rock Hall should do something like this? Posted by K-Dawg on Friday, 08/9/2019 @ 18:48pm |

Solo Freddie is way more than worthy than some guy who wrote the “I Love You” theme song from Barney (Which is what KXB secretly wants). Posted by The Dude on Friday, 08/9/2019 @ 23:48pm |
Freddie Mercury as a soloist is totally fetch! Posted by Philip on Saturday, 08/10/2019 @ 00:17am |
Apparently I don't often agree with this KXB dude, but I do think Freddie shouldn't really get a solo induction. Same thing with Stevie Nicks. Great talent and arguably he's the back bone of Queen. But, hey, let's induct David Coverdale because he has one album. Posted by K-Dawg on Saturday, 08/10/2019 @ 01:41am |

It's August 10 today and time for KING to crush a 21 Nomination List. Black Jack!!! Have time to refine my list. Posted by KING on Saturday, 08/10/2019 @ 16:24pm |
I don't have time right now to peruse overmuch, but Judas Priest and Iron Maiden on the same ballot? Ballsy. I think they both belong, I just think there's too much stigma towards metal on the Nom Com right now to put maybe even one of them on. It makes no sense, but it's them. They are their own quirky little group. Posted by K-Dawg on Saturday, 08/10/2019 @ 17:31pm |
Well, Barney's theme song is about as musically complex as the tunes of Whitney Houston, Bryan Adams, Bread, and their flavorless ilk, so why not advocate that as well? Posted by KXB on Saturday, 08/10/2019 @ 18:26pm |
Most of the time I do agree with KXB. I would not short the matter down as radical as KXB does and I'm not on Twitter (so no hashtag for me), but I believe he (or she, don't know) has some knowledge of good music. Posted by MichaelEU on Sunday, 08/11/2019 @ 10:06am |
While I don't support the induction of Freddie Mercury (Solo), looking at his cultural icon status and how well he's been doing in the fan poll I see him as nearly a lock for induction this year. Similar to Nicks' solo induction, except Mercury's solo work was no where near as good in my personal opinion. Posted by Jason Dagotto on Sunday, 08/11/2019 @ 10:33am |

Re: the Zombies. Posted by Mark on Friday, 08/16/2019 @ 14:58pm |
No disrespect intended; the Zombies simply seem to me to be a band inducted, that, while part of the British invasion, was on a significantly lower tier. I argued last year that Herman's Hermits really had more noteworthy stuff in their arsenal, and they've never even been nominated. Time of the Season is one of the most well-known songs in rock, but if they've done more than so many other deserving bands, it hasn't been on the charts. Every person has their biases of their favorite bands and wants to see them get honored as much as possible. Personally, I love songs by the Smithereens, but in no way am I going to ever think they are going to get a nomination, and if they did, the nomcom should have their heads examined and credentials revoked.
