Saw this band Friday night at The Hangout. Made it in for last half of set & encore. Have never really got this band. Will say that I like them alot better than I did before.

Lastest album has 2 or 3 really good songs (IMO). They had 4 or 5 other players on stage & that really helps. Mr. Aeurbach is a really good guitar player. The other guy can really pound the drums. Probably would never see this band at a non-festival location, but I would like to catch them again at another festival.

They'll absolutely be in.

Excellent albums. Great live show. Critical and commercial love.

And they have a home court advantage, being from Akron.

I don't know if they'll get in first ballot, but they're locks.

Well his best work is actually Lana Del Rey's "Ultraviolence", since Dan Auerbach only has made generic alt-rock music. If Lana gets in, so will Black keys. For modern Rock Black keys are OK, not sure are they hall worthy, all is "OK", but nothing new/innovative nor influental in their music. However in whole modern rock Black Keys are defenitely above average, so eventually why not they get here, since soon there won't be any rock bands worthy of Hall and it will turn into mess with these all RAPPERS...
