I would argue you could make a case for Robert plant. The only real issue is that his big important solo album is his collaboration with Alison Krauss | |

I think ATCQ are already inducted. They suddenly promoted merchandise on Instagram, definitely as a campaign for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, after which they can sell more products. | |

DMB would be a surprise induction. Not because they've won the fan vote for the 2nd time but because I've heard NO ONE talk about their nomination even after Dave's great job at inducting Willie Nelson. | |

For the past few days, I have been very worried about A Tribe Called Quest's chances. But today, I don't know why, but there's a certain feeling inside my mind that they're going to be inducted this year. And it's very kind of feeling than their past two nominations. | |

It's been a while, but I can't believe I have to update this on here. I was hoping for after the announcements. Anyway, Dickey Betts has died. For someone born in the back of a bus he did pretty well for himself. The Allman Brothers Band joins the list of groups with only one living member that is inducted into the Hall. So far him, Denny Lane and Henry Farmborough have died since the last ceremony. Living members of classes where a minority, half, or none of the inductees are still alive: 1986: 0. They're dead, Jim. 1987: 2/26 (Smokey Robinson and Mike Stroller) 1988: 8/25 (Berry Gordy Jr., Diana Ross, Paul McCartney, Ringo Star, Bob Dylan, Al Jardine, Mike Love, and Brian Wilson) 1989: 8/28 (Dion, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Mick Taylor, Ron Wood, Bill Wyman, Stevie Wonder, and Otis Williams) 1990: 13/30 (Bob Gaudio, Frankie Vali, Abdul "Duke" Fakir, Mick Avory, Dave Davies, Ray Davies, Art Garfunkel, Paul Simon, Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, Carole King, Brian Holland, and Edward Holland Jr.) 1991: 5/21 (Chris Hillman, Roger McGuinn, Richard A.

About the 2024 Nominees, will m wrote: | |
KING, IMO both Sammy and Dave are appropriately covered by the van halen induction. for my view, a solo acts has gotta transcend their work with a band/s. Lee Roth and Hagar are awesome solo but neither go beyond VH. the 3 Beatles (Ringo was AME), Rod Stewart, Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel, all absolutely transcend Faces/Velvets/Genesis/Beatles, hence are all double inductees. previous nominee, Sting does not transcend the police imo but he's pretty borderline, a warranted nomination that may occur at some point. Winwood was a journey man like Rod, I'm glad he went in with Traffic cause his solo career is not as wide ranging to get a hall induction just off that Robert Plant is a fantastic example of someone who's solo career DOES NOT transcend his prior band, and would be a foolish double inductee, will never be nominated on his own. Stevie Nicks solo is like Sting, borderline but I have zero issue with her solo induction like I've seen some other people do | |

Would like to see Sammy Hagar earn a 2nd Induction for his work in Montrose and solo artist work. He's very likable and enjoys his life. I think he's also very respected in the Rock world. Some good points that there aren't many solo artists in heavy metal who would be sure fire Inductees. It was smart for the Committee to nominate Ozzy. I think he earns induction. David Lee Roth is an interesting name. He had a good run during Eat Em And Smile and Skyscraper. Incredible and dynamic type personality. KING | |

Alec, Yeah, LL just got inducted in difficult years with so many potential inductees that hadn't been recommended before. I mean he was inducted one year with 2-FREAKING-PAC LOL there was no way they were gonna induct LL over Pac that year. I guess they would be the Mary J and Mariah of 2017 (Mariah over Mary in this case). | |

I missed him in my last post. Which again goes back to how hard it will be for other nominees. Ozzy definitely still has a clear shot but I didn't make it clear in my last post. Actually Ozzy is rare because he's probably the first and only one to have a successful solo career as a heavy metal artist. I mean we had had famous names like David Lee Roth, Tommy Lee and such try solo careers but none were at Ozzy's level of success. | |

The difference between LL Cool J and Judas Priest is that LL Cool J very well would have been inducted as eventually as a a Performer and it's unknown to most of us expect a very few but I am sure Todd Rundgren got the final spot over him in the Performers category as they didn't want to fullly exclude Classic Rock in the Performers spot Judas Priest unfortunately had little to no shot to get in as a Performers and probably were always bound to be a Musical Excellence inductee | |

^^ "Top 5" WTF I meant top 10... LOL Anyway, I don't know why my thoughts keep changing. This definitely was a hard list to figure out. A lot of us could be wrong on who goes in. The way I look at it, the ones that seemed to be locks (or should be) are: Cher Lenny Foreigner Kool and the Gang Mariah is in the "SHOULD BE A LOCK" list (only reason I kept her out of here is because I'm nervous) ---- I think I've been kinda clear on that. After that, I don't know. We have biases, the history of the Hall and how it votes for minority artists (women, urban artists) that makes it difficult to figure out. Also, there's never been a class where only the first ballot nominees get in. So I'm expecting a mostly first ballot class with two previous nominees. In this case, it would be: Mary J. Blige (2nd) Jane's Addiction (2nd) Dave Matthews Band (2nd) A Tribe Called Quest (3rd) Eric B and Rakim (2nd) Everyone else: Sinead, Mimi, Cher, Lenny, Foreigner, Oasis, Kool & the Gang, Sade, Ozzy Are first ballot nominees. And all first year nominees as opposed to first year eligible (even Oasis isn't FYE). Too many scenarios can happen here. Let's say the surefire locks are the ones I picked. Who will round it out if there were two previous nominees. I think that's why I've been a bit bullish about Mary's chances. She could go in and this can continue the Hall's three women a year class. But who will be the seventh??? Tough decision. DMB could be the 7th just so they could make up for 2020. Or Jane's Addiction somehow defies all odds and be the shocker of this and get in (a'la Rage Against the Machine). Or any of the two rap acts make a stab at it. I have to be honest guys, this is one class I'm stumped on!!! "Boring list" my ass LOL | |
