Wouldn't be shocked if they do get the nod at some point. Not into their politics, or their music, but their influence is huge, and they are great guitarists.

The Indigo girls definitely belong in the hall of fame.They are my favorite band of all time. Their thoughtful lyrics, political activism and beautiful harmonies have me listening to their music over and over again. Their musicianship and passion comes through in their performances. The first time I saw them live, they absolutely rocked and just about blew up the speakers. They are chameleons: singing about racism, injustice , poverty, and encourage all of us to fight with them for change in the world. They can sing sweetly, or with power and angst. They write complex lyrics that make you think and feel. Please come to your senses and put them in the r. and r. Hall of fame!!!!!!!!.They are a beacon of hope to me, and have inspired many young women to write and speak their truth.

The Indigo Girls have too much integrity to campaign to get into the RRHF, or to play the game that way. So many great tunes they should make it in.

They should absolutely be in. If they are taking all genres then why not take the absolute greatest "folk band" of their day.
I put that in quotes because the IG cannot be put in one box. Their diverse musical styles, socially conscious lyrics as well as their activism, number of album sales and long standing string of sell out tours should be more than enough.
Put them in.

Indigo Girls are still actively working in music. Touring NOW. It's 2023. What in the hell is wrong? The music, the writing, the point of view, the commitment, the humility, the humanity, the spanned decades... The honors are well-earned and deserved.
