DMB got in is crazyyyyy Posted by will m on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 19:46pm |
Alright now let's see the reactions Posted by Mat r on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 19:54pm |
I knew my Instagram sleuthing will work out well. Posted by John R.C. on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 19:54pm |
Ultimately what's cool about this is it doesn't throw any genre under the bus like we thought it could Posted by GuestG on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 19:54pm |
I only predicted 7; got 5 of them right. Posted by Shrek on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 19:56pm |

We will have al least 7 performer inductees, probably 8-9 in the next few years, which is a good thing. Posted by power on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 19:58pm |
and EIGHT PERFORMER INDCUTEEES LETS GOOOOOOOO Posted by willm on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:00pm |
Alexis Korner, John Mayall are all musicians only making success in UK Posted by power on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:04pm |
The big question now is: Will Cher Show up or will she pull a Kate Bush??? Posted by Elle Dee on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:07pm |
I just counted, theres THIRTY NINE inductess (subject to change if barret strong or members of Kool/foreigner are added) that's our biggest inductee list since 2012 Posted by will m on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:07pm |
unless cher says anything about her induction (I doubt) shes not showing. shes also busy with trying to put a conservatorship over her son w Gregg allman Posted by will m on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:09pm |
Dionne Warwick getting in after two nominations (same as Link Wray) is disappointing and likely only disappointing thing here, it shouldn't be a two and your done while others get like 5 chances. They need a consistent final amount to be nominated. 3 or 5 just make it consistent Posted by GuestG on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:10pm |
I feel like Alexis Korner is setting up for a Free/Bad Company nomination in 2025 Posted by Alec Tess on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:11pm |
I am a little suprised that Lenny does not make it. He seems to fit the model of FYN. Posted by power on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:12pm |
Alec Tess Posted by power on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:16pm |
So this class kind proves that rock especially classic rock isn't dead at the hall. Posted by Mat r on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:16pm |
we mentioned that Lenny checked off many boxes, maybe that was a detriment to him. they could have guitar hero they chose frampton. they wanted 90s rock they went DMB. they wanted black rnb tinged they went Mary J. general iconicity they went Ozzy and cher. massive hits they went foreigner. Posted by will m on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:16pm |
I'm sorry I'm still cracking up hearing Ryan Seacrest talking about MC5 on national television Posted by GuestG on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:18pm |
Also, I think musical excellence is used to induct producers and songwriters and non-performers is only used to induct industry people now. Posted by power on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:20pm |
Inducting Jimmy Buffett directly into musical excellence makes no sense. He should at least be nominated in the performer category. Direct induction seems chaotic. Posted by power on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:23pm |
All Fan Vote ballot artists got inducted except for Lenny Kravitz. ATCQ and MJB are the two not on that ballot being inducted Posted by GuestG on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:27pm |
Well I feel like Oasis will be like Radiohead and get in after 2 tries in 2025 unless someone like Coldplay is on the ballot so Blur might have to wait a bit Posted by Alec Tess on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:27pm |
No Mariah is very disapponting. There are few artists more deserving and she has all the requirements the past inductees have. I was hoping they would induct her and get her out the way and keep it pushing but having her return is only a sign that she is gonna struggle more. Oh well, here's hope to 2025. Posted by ABJ on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:29pm |
Almost all white classic rock and classic rock related acts on the ballot, are inducted. Posted by power on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:32pm |
It's not even the end of the year and I'm already predicting the 2025 nominees: Posted by Elle Dee on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:32pm |
Most surprised that that all three classic rock acts made it in. Figured at least one would be left out, most likely Frampton. Posted by Michael W. on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:34pm |
mat r Posted by Elle Dee on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:37pm |
I'm actually quite glad that Mary and Cher made it over Mariah, as I feel they are both greater, more complete artists. I know Mariah will eventually be inducted simply because of the sheer number of hits she's generated, but it's gratifying to see two more well-rounded artists get the nod. Posted by Michael W. on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:39pm |
Except for Tribe, Mary J Blige, and DMB (their sound also is very similar with classic rock), the preferences of the inductees are very boomer-oriented. Posted by power on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:45pm |
I hope Weird Al gets inducted next year, either (preferably) as a performer or for Musical Excellence. Posted by Coreyrocks on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:46pm |
its an extremely old school class, even down to the special categories. Posted by will m on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:48pm |
I forgot EBAR, theyre 87 as well. tough year for 87 acts Posted by will m on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:50pm |
The only two things that are maddening about this induction are Warwick and Buffett as side category. Warwick feels like trying to get someone in while alive and, more negatively, a futile attempt to try and prop up the female inductee numbers since only two made it in via main category. Buffett, absolutely no idea. Posted by GuestG on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:52pm |
Definite showing that we're still in the boomer era and are only slowly getting newer acts in (like Tribe/MJB) as all older acts immediately get inducted and only a few stray newer acts are, and they likely need inductions with solely just new acts Posted by GuestG on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:57pm |
quite the list will be interesting to see what Cher does so glad for foreigner and Kool and the Gang Posted by Dan on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:58pm |
My go at my way too early 16 nominees picks for 2025 Posted by Alec Tess on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 20:59pm |
Shocked to see Mariah didn't make it in but I believe it was due to the combination of voters thinking she was a lock and didn't need her vote as much, and rock purists thinking she's too pop for the hall. Posted by Ralib on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:04pm |
Honorable mention is and I believe the toss up for the final nominee is between Devo and Lauryn Hill Posted by Alec Tess on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:05pm |
Alec Tess, Posted by GuestG on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:07pm |
Congrats to the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Class. A very eclectic class and I would give it an A definitely. Championed Kool & The Gang induction for many years. Now a reality. Amazing number of Hits they have when you think of Celebration, Fresh, Jungle Boogie, Ladies Night, Misled, Tonight, Too Hot, etc. A Tribe Called Quest finally has broken through. They have been respected in the music industry and have critical acclaim. They have been solid in the voting last few years. Ozzy Osbourne strong heavy metal representation. An icon and legend. Will be playing Bark At The Moon and The Ultimate Sin tonight. Dave Matthews Band I missed on my picks but they are plenty deserving. They had several #1 albums plus an incredible Grateful Dead-like following. Cher is 1 of the bigger snubs we have talked about over the years here on FRL. Incredible longevity stretching from 1963 to now 2024. I read somewhere she sold over 100 million records. Very impressive! Foreigner was 1 of the easier no-brainers for me considering their hot 10 year period. Classic songs like Cold As Ice, Double Vision, I Want To Know What Love Is, Jukebox Hero, Urgent, etc. Foreigner songs continue to be in heavy rotation on Classic Rock stations. I could have waited on Peter Frampton but he's very respected in the music industry. Frampton Comes Alive! 1 of the most successful Live Albums and he was also 1 of the pioneers using the squawk box thing. Posted by KING on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:11pm |
Why give Jimmy Buffett a side door induction now? Why not put him on the ballot next year? Posted by xwing1212 on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:13pm |
Few thoughts on discussions here: Posted by Shrek on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:14pm |
Now that Tribe is finally in that clears the few year backlog for rap artists Posted by GuestG on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:18pm |
Early prediction for 2025: Posted by power on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:19pm |
xwing, they had to have one death fairy inductee, and since Sinead didn't get the votes.... j/k Posted by Philip on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:20pm |
It's just weird. Why not put him on the ballot next year? He would stand a decent chance of getting in if put up. Posted by xwing1212 on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:23pm |
This appears to be a high Q score class! Posted by Eric Tompkins on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:24pm |
2025 predictions Posted by Mat r on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:27pm |
Jimmy Buffett will be seen as a mistake ME induction over time because he easily could have cracked getting in via performers but was never given that opportunity Posted by GuestG on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:30pm |
I am still very astonished that Mariah Carey does not make it Posted by power on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:32pm |
Also guys let's call it: ballot tracker is useless Posted by Mat r on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:38pm |
Frampton, foreigner, ozzy, and dmb were ranked between 12th to 16th on the ballot tracker and all got in. Posted by Mat r on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:42pm |
GuestG, I know it's you that's been hacking Richie. You're a very sick person. My son has not made a comment on here since before the Inductions. Alec, XW1212, This is not my son typing It's GuestG. Stay away from my son. Richie's Mom Sheri Posted by Sheri on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:42pm |

FRL can check IP ranges to know I'm not "Posiden" aka the fake larper I endlessly mock, nor the 3 or so other names he larps over that I've called out numerous times and openly tried getting this website to ban, nor have I ever posted under the name "Richie". In fact I had to change my name used on this website because the person "Richie" gets involved with tarnished the original name I used before they showed up Posted by GuestG on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:50pm |

Mariah Carey is a complete lock for induction next year right? we all agree this is a very radioheadesque situation? Posted by will m on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 21:59pm |
Little Steven still has a lot of power. Posted by power on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:00pm |
I feel that as long as you have the most nominations on the ballot, you are very likely to be selected. This was the case in 2023 (Kate Bush, RATM, Spinners) and 2024 (ATCQ). Looking ahead to next year, whoever has the most nominations will likely be the candidate with a very high chance of being inducted. Posted by power on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:09pm |
Okay first things first: PRAISE THE LORD MARY, DIONNE and BIG MAMA ARE IN! Posted by Timothy Pernell on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:10pm |

The rap voters have matured significantly. Even with a boomer-dominated ballot like this year, as long as there isn't a rap superstar like Jay-Z or Eminem on the ballot, a group like A Tribe Called Quest can still get inducted, even without a hit single. I think Eric B. & Rakim also have a good chance of being selected in the main performer category. Then, under the right circumstances, Wu-Tang Clan, Salt-N-Pepa, Outkast, Nas, and others could all be FYN. Yes, I think if A Tribe Called Quest hadn't been nominated alongside Eminem and Missy in their first two nominations, they might have been inducted earlier. The rap voters are now solid enough to consistently produce a rap inductee each year, even if that inductee hasn't achieved massive commercial success. Posted by power on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:13pm |
Have to say the ballot tracker actually got it a bit right. Kool and Tribe had tons of votes there with Mary and Peter not far behind. DMB was the only one who did the worst that got in because they have friends in high places who dig those guys - and I get why. But yeah, shows you that though it's not always accurate, it can still tell you who gets in and who doesn't. Posted by Timothy Pernell on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:14pm |
wayyyyyy too early predictions (I'm still going with my theory that the eligibility years were pushed to 30) Posted by will m on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:16pm |
Oops, I meant to say Ozzy, not Peter lol Posted by Timothy Pernell on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:16pm |
I'll predict next year's nominations tomorrow. Posted by Timothy Pernell on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:17pm |
interesting we had 22 the top 8 (counting priest) inducted Posted by will m on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:21pm |
Scratch that change of plan here is the way too early picks for the 17 nominees for the 2025 Posted by Alec Tess on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:24pm |
my rank of each 2024 inductee (that I've heard every album by) Posted by will m on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:28pm |
New York Dolls are probably going to get inducted in next year via musical excellence. Posted by power on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:30pm |
Anybody have a feeling that the only reason why we have an 8 performer class is because Tribe came in 8th place and instead of leaving them off they decided to include them to have a hip-hop group inducted? I mean, if Jane's Addiction came in 8th place, I don't see the Rock Hall extending that courtesy. Posted by xwing1212 on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:32pm |

The induction of Alexis Korner and John Mayall is a good sign for British musicians because they primarily influenced the music scene in the UK. Although these two were championed by the staunch advocate Little Steven, it also shows that other members of the nomination committee are more open to British musicians who have not had a large impact in the US. Even for younger bands like The Jam, The Smiths, The Stone Roses, Pulp, Blur, and Buzzcocks, being selected through musical excellence is now a possibility. It seems that the nomination committee members have agreed to choose musicians who have influenced primarily in the UK. This is definitely a good thing. Posted by chasingwildcat on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:36pm |
Problem with the ballot tracker is that it's just not getting enough public votes for it to be a great barometer. Posted by Shrek on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:37pm |
The induction of Alexis Korner and John Mayall is a positive sign for British musicians, as they primarily influenced the UK music scene with minimal impact on American music. Although these two were favored by Little Steven, a staunch advocate from the boomer-era classic rock scene, this also shows that other members of the nomination committee are becoming more open to British musicians who have not had significant impact in the US. Even for younger bands like The Jam, The Smiths, The Stone Roses, Pulp, Blur, and Buzzcocks, being selected through musical excellence is now a possibility. It seems that the nomination committee members have agreed to select musicians who have primarily influenced the UK. This is definitely a positive development.

First class since 2013 not to have anyone with a Diamond album in. Posted by Follower on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:39pm |
Dave Matthews Band is so weird to me because of how insular their fanbase is. You're either REALLY into them or you don't care for them at all. Posted by xwing1212 on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:39pm |
Damn lol this ceremony is gonna be like twelve hours long. Even though this is a pretty elderly class, almost everyone there is not only alive but likely to show up and give a performance. We love to see it though. Posted by RG on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:40pm |
xwing1212, Posted by GuestG on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:40pm |
According to my interview with Alan Light, the reason we would be at 8 is because that would be where a logical tiering cutoff would be on the vote totals. He said they do go in with a specific number in mind, but don't like anybody to miss the cut by just a vote or two. They look for logical tiers in the vote results. Posted by Shrek on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:41pm |
interestingly,,, the side categories we normally see used to balancre out a fiaml list. put a soul writer in where there's no soul singer, get a rock session guy where there's no classic rock bands, get funk producers when there's no funk act. Posted by will m on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:45pm |
in the first sentence I meant to put mc5 instead of mayall Posted by will m on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:48pm |
Also congrats to everyone who read the 8 inductees tea leaves, I was dead wrong on that Posted by RG on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:48pm |
Also, now there are two people named Mick Jones in the Hall! (And two people named James Taylor!) Posted by Follower on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 22:54pm |

Soooo much to take in from this year's inductees. Starting off, Peter Frampton is among the least deserving artists and it chills me to the bone the rockists are crowing about him.

Im soo for R&B and Hip-Hop legends Mary J. Blige, Dionne Warwick, Kool and the Gang, A Tribe Call Quest made it after they been nominated many times. But Mariah Carey should be there too Lenny Kravitz and Sade too. Its not enough vote. But dont worry, next year We will nominate Mariah and Lenny for 2025. She will be locked to be get inducted. I will nominate like Diana Ross. Posted by Amie Hampton on Sunday, 04/21/2024 @ 23:42pm |

There is one thing that we all forgot to mention is that this is the first time that we have had 8 Performer inductees in over 20 years (since the 2001 class), so that's historic and exciting at the same time. Posted by richie on Monday, 04/22/2024 @ 00:35am |

Major revelation from this ballot that clarifies some things for me, especially the Mariah Carey snub. Posted by Sean on Monday, 04/22/2024 @ 01:05am |
By the way, all these recent trends: awards show success (fitting that the reveal was on American Idol), MTV success, and friends in the industry, seem to be pointing at one name as honestly THE most likely candidate left standing: Posted by Sean on Monday, 04/22/2024 @ 01:13am |

A weak year tbh, almost as weak as 2018, Oasis and Mariah Carey were by far the most worthy and relevant acts on the ballot and they didn't get in. Posted by Corey Finn on Monday, 04/22/2024 @ 05:42am |
toto and boston are most likely classic rock acts to be nominated in next year I believe. Posted by power on Monday, 04/22/2024 @ 05:47am |
It should be noted that at the 1996 Grammy Awards, Mary J. Blige won her very first one for the hit "You're All I Need/I'll Be There for You" with Method Man, whose Wu-Tang Clan act has yet to get a nod (but that might change after Tribe got in... more on that later today ;)) while Mariah was snubbed the entire night. A case of deja vu if you will... Mary J. gets in the Hall and Mariah gets snubbed 28 years later... talk about a coincidence (and a bit of irony).

Rock Hall has always been an insider club, since day 1. This has been shown over close to 40 years at this point. Surprised when people get surprised over it Posted by GuestG on Monday, 04/22/2024 @ 06:22am |
Not intending to beat a drum that I always do, or maybe I am, but with all the talk about inroads in the industry, what about Bad Company's chances for next year? Paul Rodgers and Mick Ralphs definitely have that pedigree for their induction. Posted by K-Dawg on Monday, 04/22/2024 @ 06:50am |

While these think pieces on Mariah Carey is entertaining to read, it's not that deep. There are literal R&B Legends like Chaka Khan, Dionne Warrick, and others who've had to wait decades to get inducted. Mariah not getting in on her first nomination is not all that shocking considering Mary J Blige was also on Ithe ballot and she's more revered. It is what it is.

I feel Steven Van Zandt will use side category to induct Paul Rodgers (Free/Bad Company). He seems only to be powerful in side category nom com but he has already lost his magic in performer nom com. So I expect we see Paul Rodgers in side category Posted by power on Monday, 04/22/2024 @ 07:40am |
It is possible that Warren Zevon could be directly inducted into the Musical Excellence category. It seems that there are no longer any restrictions regarding previous nomination times for this category. Dionne Warwick was nominated only twice, and Jimmy Buffett has never been nominated. Warren Zevon fits the definition of musical excellence, he wrote songs for Linda Ronstadt and others, and in some ways, he is comparable to songwriters like Bernie Taupin.

It's pretty interesting how much 90s acts have struggled. Going from 2014->now we've largely only seen the marquee names-nirvana Radiohead Green Day Pearl Jam Foos Rage NIN Sheryl. But even then some of them struggled w years between first noms and inductions. Big names like Soundgarden Lenny and Oasis are missing the mark too. AIC Weezer and Pumpkins can't even get nominated. Beck had no shot btw, and maybe the white stripes didn't? Posted by Will m on Monday, 04/22/2024 @ 10:10am |
Will M & Alec Tess, Thank you for your kind words towards my son Richie. As you know Richie is is Autistic & easily led. He is vulnerable & so wishes to make friends. He is somewhat desperate to make friends & even more so as I, ( His Mother Sheri) am currently dying from terminal cancer. He was sucked into a web by a very sick man & he played a cat & mouse game with my son. Thank Gentlemen for understanding. Much love & any blessings. Sheri, Richie's Mom.

We all know that this is a political game played by the RRHOF committee. The class is already determined before they release the names of the nominees. The fan votes are a waste of time. It is obvious that Mariah is blacklisted and was doomed from the start. However, she seems to persevere in spite of the music industry's treatment of her. She will probably never be inducted although she is more deserving than most. This rejection will not break her. Also, please stop comparing her to Whitney Houston.

Does anybody else feel like performer, musical excellence, and musical influence should all be merged into one category? Like have half of the performers voted in and the other half selected via committee. At this point, there should only be two categories: performer and non-performer. I still don't understand what Musical Excellence is tying to be. They're just putting everybody into this category: sidemen, producers, artists who can't get voted in on the ballot (LL Cool J, Judas Priest, MC5) and now artists who could possibly do well if nominated (Jimmy Buffett). It should renamed to Miscellaneous Excellence. Posted by xwing1212 on Monday, 04/22/2024 @ 18:31pm |
This year, except for tribe, all the returning noms were on their second shot, what if that happens again? After janes returned, I actually think bad brains could get another go. It's a long shot but they were a long shot at first too. Posted by Will m on Monday, 04/22/2024 @ 18:35pm |

Well, I don't know the full backstage stories on all of this large class of musicians; but of the ones I do, I'd say Boyd Tinsley, former member of Dave Matthews Band, definitely qualifies for consideration of "worst person", considering he was accused of sexual assault, harassment, and long-term grooming. He settled that out of court, but was sued again this year for violating the terms of that settlement. Posted by Shrek on Tuesday, 04/23/2024 @ 01:24am |
On the "get them in before they die" front, again the Monkees were shafted this year. Micky now has been the last surviving member of the group for 2 cycles.

I think a smart idea for the hall to make everything fit on time, would be to have the MC5 performance double as the in memorium. As well as limiting tribute performances to 1 or 2. The George Micheal segment of last year was extreme dead weight. Only doing careless whisper would have sufficed. Posted by Will m on Tuesday, 04/23/2024 @ 13:37pm |

I think Alanis will have a better chance than Sinead. To many casual listeners, Sinead is a 'one-hit wonder,' which is perceived more negatively than Alanis being a 'one-album wonder.' In terms of general popularity, Sinead is not on the same level as Alanis. Moreover, due to her rebellious nature, Sinead has made many enemies in the industry, whereas Alanis has more friends.

Few things I need to say about this class. Posted by JE on Tuesday, 04/23/2024 @ 23:26pm |
The induction of the Dave Matthews Band makes me wonder if Iron Maiden will be voted in next time. Both acts are similar: big album sellers with almost no pop hit singles, and both have huge cult fan groups. Iron Maiden will have a big tour this year, which could help their chances. Some industry voters might consider voting for them since Maiden is expected to generate substantial revenue. However, one disadvantage for Maiden is that metal is still not favored by the Hall (Ozzy was inducted mainly due to his star power), whereas DMB, with its roots music influence, might be more acceptable to voters.

I apologize if someone has already made this point, I didn't read through all of the comments made so far. But what is the deal with putting Jimmy Buffett in as Musical Excellence? Buffett has long been on my snubs list, but using that back door without ever even trying to get him in through nomination first? Weird. I bet he would have been voted in as a Performer if they had just nominated him. I do like how they have been using the Musical Excellence to get artists in like Kraftwerk who are foundational but the voters are just too stupid to understand that. But Buffett? He would have gotten votes. And deservedly so, even though I'm not a huge fan, when you create a whole subculture around your music, that is some influence.

Thin Lizzy might have a better chance than Motorhead and Maiden because they have two hit classic rock singles. If placed on the right ballot (where they are the only or one of two classic rock nominees, with only 1-2 classic rock acts and the rest being alternative rock nominees), they could become the inevitable choice for white boomers, allowing them to sneak in. The question is, can Tom Morello help Thin Lizzy get nominated again, considering Thin Lizzy's popularity is definitely weaker than that of Maiden and other classic rock acts?

The discussion of thin Lizzy makes me wonder about blue oyster cult. Another beloved influential acclaimed 70s hard rock. More staples than Lizzy too.

I can see Jeff Buckley being on the ballot next year. He has one of the most acclaimed albums of all time and has had a lot of influence other rockers in the industry from Radiohead to Soundgarden, and despite being out of the scene since 1997 he still gets a high amount of streams with 4.2 million monthly Spotify listeners.

One thing to point out that next year (2025) is Iron Maiden's 50th anniversary as a band, so if there was ever a perfect year to induct them into the Rock Hall, It's next year without a doubt, I'm really hoping with Ozzy's solo induction this year, that next year is finally Maiden's year especially with their 50th anniversary next year.

I feel Outkast and Wu Tang Clan will all be nominated in front of other hip hop snubs Posted by power on Friday, 04/26/2024 @ 09:41am |
One name that hasn't been nominated for a few years now is Beck, He was first nominated for the 2022 class, but missed out on induction that year, Soundgarden and Dave Matthews Band were both first nominated for the 2020 class but both missed out on induction that year, Mary J. Blige was first nominated the following year for the 2021 class but missed out on induction that year, then Beck was nominated the following year for the 2022 class but missed out on induction that year, then Soundgarden came back for a second time the following year for the 2023 class but once again missed out on induction, then Mary J. Blige and Dave Matthews Band both came back for a second time this year for the 2024 class and this time, both got in, so don't be surprised to see Beck come back next year for the 2025 class and given how so much respect he has had with musicians, critics and industry people, Don't be surprised to see Beck as one of the 2025 inductees, plus the ceremony's most likely returning to Los Angeles (Beck's hometown) next year, so don't be surprised to see Beck come back and this time, get in next year for the 2025 class.

If the Hall of Fame wanted to do some serious reaching out they should nominate Vince Clarke. Yes, he was inducted for his work with DepecheMode; but, thats a mere fraction of what this guy has done. His work with Alison Moyet and later Andy Bell cements him as a real pioneer in electronic music. If anyone from the committee is reading these posts it's high time you listed Vince Clarke, he is truly deserving. Along with artists like Kate Bush, Roxy Music, Peter Gabriel he needs to be finally included. Posted by RapeOfTheSabines on Friday, 04/26/2024 @ 16:16pm |

Shocking twist for 2025 Posted by Mat r on Friday, 04/26/2024 @ 21:01pm |
Nominating Committee member Alan Light says he was told that the 6th, 7th, and 8th place finishers were all within a few votes of each other so the Rock Hall put them all in. He also heard there was more distance between 8th and 9th place than between 1st and 8th. Posted by power on Friday, 04/26/2024 @ 21:13pm |

Iron Maiden is set to celebrate their 50th anniversary next year and they have started a U.S. tour this year which will continue into next year, featuring arena-sized venues. The year 2025 represents a prime opportunity for them. If they are nominated but not inducted next year, it's likely we'll see them chosen in 2026 through the musical excellence category. Indeed, large-scale tours can significantly boost a candidate's profile. For instance, Rage Against The Machine's brief return in 2022 helped secure their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2023. Posted by power on Saturday, 04/27/2024 @ 04:09am |
Alan Light recently said the top 8 inductees of this class had far more votes than the 7 who didn't get in. Meaning acts like Mariah and Sade may have a harder time getting in looking forward. It's likely Mariah does have enemies in the industry that were like "nah". Wouldn't surprise me. Could also explain that, despite her accolades, why Diana has never been considered for even a nomination. Posted by Timothy Pernell on Saturday, 04/27/2024 @ 04:29am |
Yeah I think we're overestimating Mariah's chances, which is why I am portending that the nomcom gives her one more try, pushed by whomever her internal advocate is (maybe Questlove or Danyel Smith), while the rest sets her up for failure again, either by putting Lauryn Hill or Cyndi Lauper or both on the same ballot; and if or when she doesn't get it, then they keep her off to side door her in a few years when she turns 60. Because when the Beyonces and Taylors become eligible, then she'll be old news. Posted by ChrisD on Saturday, 04/27/2024 @ 06:12am |

Also I don't believe Alan light at all here cause basically it would mean everyone who didn't get in is a total flop and shouldn't be nominated again for a decade or something. It also suggests uniform voting which makes no sense given the size of the voting body. Posted by Mat r on Saturday, 04/27/2024 @ 08:03am |

Or I think part of his statement is correct, while another part is debatable. For instance, it's probable that the vote counts for #6 to #8 are quite similar. It's also likely that there is a significant gap between #8 and #9. However, the gap between #1 and #8 being smaller than that between #8 and #9 makes sense statistically, but it could also be Alan Light exaggerating to emphasize how solid the top 8's voting situation is. Nonetheless, I tend to believe that this scenario is very possible. Because voting for 7 could indeed result in some unexpected outcomes, who knows.

The only way what he's saying makes sense is if the gap is like 31 votes vs 37 votes and the whole class was super duper close. Overall and the actual gap was really quite small Posted by Mat r on Saturday, 04/27/2024 @ 09:13am |

What's interesting is that if you look on Ranker.com Mariah is nowhere near close to the top of the list. She's #800 something. I think her popularity far outweighs her musical influence and acclaim within the industry. She has one timeless song (Fantasy) that is lauded by critics and one timeless christmas song. That should be enough to get her in considering someone like Darlene Love is in but the hall doesn't real care much about popularity it's a club and if they don't respect you, you just wont get in, or will have a hard time no matter how popular you are.

I kept saying that no one knew what box to put Mariah in: pop diva? R&B artist? Hip-hop adjacent act? Or worse, one of those "annoying AC acts". There are also others who think she fits the Celine box more than the Aretha/Whitney box (odd cause in her early career, they compared her to Whitney a LOT). Someone like Whitney and Madonna were more straightforward entries because their places in history were far more secured (it might've taken a decade for the former but once her name was announced, I think a lot of voters in the Gen X-Boomer side of things easily picked her because they likely own a Whitney album or two or three but won't have a Mariah album). Like Whitney and Aretha have songs that are some of the most beloved anthems of their eras (Respect, I Wanna Dance with Somebody, I Will Always Love You, Natural Woman, etc.) whereas Mariah, despite having a song that's supposed to be beloved (Fantasy) is still mostly known for a holiday song.

No matter how Mariah Carey's fans defend her, it doesn't change the perception that many voters have of her. She is not as respected as her fans might think. Moreover, many of her so-called contributions, such as integrating hip-hop elements, are viewed as trends that only became popular in recent years. Many voters might not understand the recent "reversal" in Mariah's reputation, similar to their confusion over why Taylor Swift consistently receives positive reviews. Mariah Carey herself is considered more mainstream and not particularly innovative or artistically strong, so she does not receive the level of respect her fans might expect. Indeed, in the eyes of many voters, she may align more with Celine Dion rather than with artists like Madonna or Whitney Houston. Additionally, Mariah has influenced younger, more mainstream artists, whereas Mary J. Blige has had a greater impact on more "cool" musicians. Posted by willie on Saturday, 04/27/2024 @ 22:55pm |

No, Whitney Houston, even if she were nominated this year, would easily be inducted. Meanwhile, Mariah Carey did not even make it into the top half of the voting results. Mariah Carey's music is quite cheesy, and she mainly influences other cheesy artists. That's why voters have a bias against her. Don't blame her lack of success on discrimination by white men, Whitney doesn't face that issue. Posted by willie on Sunday, 04/28/2024 @ 05:30am |

@Timothy Pernell: I would also add that having Clive Davis - the industry heavyweight that he still is with his glamorous pre-Grammy party et al - as an internal advocate most assuredly helped Whitney's chances as well. Neither Mariah nor Janet has/had that same advantage, which is why they had a harder time on their first ballot appearance. But there is no question about it that Whitney was more of the industry darling, and for a while was the North Star for Black music, ambition and representation, a position stripped of Diana Ross the moment the WH debut album became a success; but one that came with certain pressures she obviously couldn't handle. Now there is Beyonce who owns that title and has wielded it to her advantage into her forties in a way that neither Whitney nor Diana nor MJ never could.

In my eyes, the issue with Mariah Carey is that, despite her immense vocal talent, she doesn't have the ability to evoke any genuine emotion when she sings. It all seems very rehearsed and disingenuous. In this regard, she is much more similar to Celine Dion than to other's in her lane. That's where Mary J. excelled over Mariah. You can feel her emotion when she sings "Be Without You" or "Just Fine". When she covered U2's "One", it felt genuine. When Mariah covers someone else's songs, it doesn't typically resonate the way the original does even though she is inevitably a more talented singer than the other person. Harry Nillson sounds far more convincing on his version of "Without You" than Mariah does on hers, for example. She can hit any note she wants, but for many people, myself included, she doesn't use that ability in a way that stirs one's emotions. Posted by Michael W. on Monday, 04/29/2024 @ 08:40am |

You can choose not to vote, but every citizen should have the right to vote, regardless of whether they vote for someone, abstain, or otherwise; they should not be deprived of their ballot. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should operate in a similar manner regarding past inductees. Posted by chasingwildcat on Monday, 04/29/2024 @ 15:43pm |
I saw something interesting here when running down who got inducted based on how many ballots they were on. The results are a bit shocking...and weird. Posted by Timothy Pernell on Monday, 04/29/2024 @ 16:11pm |
@Timothy Pernell: I'm not sure what point you're referring to that's not "as simple"? Did you somehow misinterpret something? Because I'm in complete agreement that Whitney was an industry darling…who insiders liked so much they ignored her shortcomings. I mean an artist's output in recorded music is the largest part of their career composition; but you and I both know that it was artistically the weakest part of Whitney's career.

Let me remind everyone that the Sex Pistols told the Rock Hall to go f$ck themselves and they still got inducted. Posted by xwing1212 on Monday, 04/29/2024 @ 18:31pm |
How would Motely Crue, Iron Maiden or any band/artist that tells the Rock Hall to piss off be any different? Posted by xwing1212 on Monday, 04/29/2024 @ 18:32pm |

I'm trying to think of a reason why anyone elected shouldn't be in the HOF in some capacity that was inducted this year in either a main or side category. Outside of my railing on Peter Frampton, I really don't have an argument individually on any one act, and indeed, Frampton had a case for musical excellence.

Speaking of Whitesnake actually like with Paul Rodgers I think even though he's in as a member of Deep Purple you can make a case like with Paul Rodgers you can make a case for David Coverdale as a possible side category inductee Posted by Alec Tess on Wednesday, 05/1/2024 @ 10:28am |

A lot of Classic Rock fans I know still don't want a lot of 90s Rock acts like Soundgarden,Beck,Oasis,White Stripes,Jane's Addiction,Alice In Chains,Stone Temple Pilots and a few others that should still not be in the Rock Hall because it's still "Too Early" for them and that there still many 60s and 70s acts that need recognition Posted by Alec Tess on Wednesday, 05/1/2024 @ 19:49pm |

Mariah Carey must have personally rejected the award Posted by lc on Thursday, 05/2/2024 @ 02:14am |
Lenny Kravitz is probably the next Soundgarden, most people thought would be surefire FYN before but finally struggles. Posted by power on Thursday, 05/2/2024 @ 07:56am |
Bill Wyman is a blithering idiot. That being said, everyone has their opinions. I posted my list in order a couple years back and if I still have it somewhere I may reedit it to include acts listed since I put it out. However, I never claim to make it THE LIST. Some of his choices, particularly acts like Rush, Queen, and Whitney Houston near the bottom? And people like Laura Nyro and Randy freakin Newman so high are laughable. He did get Stevie Nicks mostly right, though (as a SOLO artist--she's indispensable with Fleetwood Mac) Posted by K-Dawg on Thursday, 05/2/2024 @ 09:20am |
Someone posted on Facebook, that everyone assumed Mariah Carey had the votes. So many voters felt they would use their vote to help someone else. Posted by lc on Thursday, 05/2/2024 @ 11:05am |

Nom com member danyel smith just published a piece on Luther Vandross Posted by Mat r on Thursday, 05/2/2024 @ 12:31pm |
I'd love to see Luther in. He is so influential, his songs are staples, and yes, I love his voice in a completely respectful way. Posted by K-Dawg on Thursday, 05/2/2024 @ 13:14pm |
I've got zero perspective on Luther. I only know he was gay, he did some schlock Christmas songs, and he's been mentioned in always sunny in philadelphia. to me he seems one of the lesser soul candidates, I'd rather like to see Mary wells or ben e king (double induction) get in. Posted by will m on Thursday, 05/2/2024 @ 13:24pm |
I apologize I now realize how condescending that sounds cause it is. I got nothing against Luther I just know very little on him. from my perspective he doesn't seem very influential. but I'm a rockist I really don't have any perspective on his spehere of music at all. Posted by will m on Thursday, 05/2/2024 @ 13:29pm |
Luther is one of the most influential male rnb acts in 80s. Posted by power on Thursday, 05/2/2024 @ 13:32pm |
Two inductee deaths were announced in the same day! Richard Tandy of ELO and Duane Eddy. One closer to the original rock and roll, and the other coming from a part of its eternal evolution. This means one name is added, as most of 2017 is still alive, and one is removed, as most of 1994 is dead. Posted by Follower on Thursday, 05/2/2024 @ 14:51pm |
I love Luther! The nominal leader of the 80's R&B romanticists…Peabo Bryson, James Ingram, Freddie Jackson. Interesting that people are predicting him as an easy entry next year, but Sade would've been dead last this year. They shared air space on Quiet Storm radio. I guess the men will always have it easier. *Side eyeing the campaigns to acknowledge ATCQ, EB&R and others but ignoring Queen Latifah and Salt n Pepa….* Posted by ChrisD on Thursday, 05/2/2024 @ 14:58pm |

I wont even attempt to rank all inductees like that, itd take far too long and also I cannot possibly properly gage the influence of acts like the dells and flamingos who I know practically nothing on. there's also the factor of my own interests (I mostly listen to rock) that I would be biased in favor of against stuff I don't listen to as much.

She's just being hypocritical. Many of the people she ranks higher also don't have a direct influence on today's youth but rather an indirect one (like influencing those who influence the youth but not having a direct impact to young musicians). She diminishes others just because she doesn't like them. It's laughable that Metallica and Sabbath are not even in the top hundred. She ranks Duane Eddy higher than Sabbath and Van Halen, but which young person today reminisces about or is directly influenced by Eddy? This is hypocrisy; let's not deny it.
