I can't believe we're allowed comments for the years now, but I'm not complaining.

Oasis and Outkast are interesting choices, Martin, and the latter will certainly be inducted, possibly the former although their success and respect in the US was ephemeral. But KORN? They've got little to no critical respect.

Out of these, I would say...

LOCKS:

Notorious B.I.G.
Outkast
Weezer

Strong Chance:

Daft Punk
Elliot Smith
Jeff Buckley
Oasis

Possibly, But Probably Unlikely:

Fugees

Posted by Casper on Wednesday, 06.13.07 @ 17:43pm

My vote would go to Korn, Marylin Manson, and perhaps Usher could get himself into position before it's said and done.

Posted by Dave on Monday, 08.27.07 @ 05:04am

Oasis and OutKast are locks, and despite Jeff Buckley only releasing one album, I believe he has a very strong chance of being inducted due to it constantly being hailed as a classic masterpiece by the general public.

Weezer is a long shot inductee, and Elliott Smith definitely deserves it, but I still believe it's way too early to guess what his chances are.

Posted by Antonio on Thursday, 09.6.07 @ 18:15pm

1. Oasis
2. Outkast
3. Supergrass

Yeah, aside from a few really crap ones, this year looks pretty good!

Posted by Liam on Monday, 02.11.08 @ 16:36pm

Notorious BIG and Bone Thugs N Harmony so whoever inducts them can go "its bone and biggy biggy. its bone and biggy biggy." Hahaha Im hilarious.

Posted by Nick on Monday, 05.26.08 @ 15:52pm

Korn-Casper hit it on the head. The little credibility the Hall will have by this point will be shot with the induction of Korn. Almost the same goes for Manson and Usher...sorry, Dave.

This looks like quite the year...Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, the sentimental choice (not to say he's not a quality artist, but he only released 1 album), B.I.G. (if they're gonna keep inducting rap artists, he has to go in), Oasis (locks), Outkast, Portishead, Supergrass, and Weezer (who I love, but at the same time I know they don't have much critical goodwill left from Blue and Pinkerton)...

The 2020 Rock Hall. These groups should be inducted together!! The biggest 90s acts!

Nirvana
Pearl Jam

Guns 'N' Roses
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Nine Inch Nails
Boyz II Men
Mariah Carey

Posted by Roy on Thursday, 09.18.08 @ 13:30pm

I don't think you need to wait till 2019 to put in Nirvana/P/ Jam/ Metallica/GNR/ etc. Let them go in when they are first eligible. There's a fair amount here to choose from:

Bone Thugs/Bush/Elliott Smith/G. Love/J. Buckley/Jimmy Eat World/Korn/M. Manson/Biggie/Oasis/Outkast/Portishead/Sunny Day/Supergrass/Tortoise/Veruca Salt/Weezer

Whteher you support the outright mainstream commercial sellers or the artsy, out-of-the-way sorts, enough is here on it's own to make up a diverse class. So long as it's diverse.

Posted by riley on Monday, 04.6.09 @ 10:49am

My bet is that none of them are first ballot HoFer's.

The only ones I see ever getting in from your list is Oasis and Notorious B.I.G. (this all depends on how the Hall recognize Hip-Hop/Rap from this point on.)

Here is a guarantee - Weezer will never be inducted - 100%

If they have not inducted The Alice Cooper band - what makes you think that Manson will be inducted? Don't get me wrong - I like M.M., but he ripped off Alice to the hilt and then took it one more step. And musically, his best work does not rival The Alice Cooper Band.

The rest - highly unlikely unless they do something real special over the next few years.

I am basing my opinions on past history of how the HoF has voted and not just my musical taste.

Posted by Dameon on Monday, 04.6.09 @ 12:24pm

Damn...we've got some good artists here. This ought to be an interesting year...

My votes:
Jeff Buckley
Elliott Smith
Oasis
Outkast
Weezer

This is one of the few years where pretty much all of my votes are locks, so with that in mind...

The (likely) inductees:
Jeff Buckley
Elliott Smith
Oasis
Outkast
Weezer

Even that might be a disappointing class: I'd love to see the Notorious B.I.G. get in on the first ballot, but I think Outkast edges him here. Fugees are an intriguing possibility, but I'm not sure they're quite worthy enough...although their critical success (and the solo success of Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean) certainly leaves them sitting pretty. Korn and Marilyn Manson don't make the cut this year; in a weaker year, they'd be strong candidates, but Jeff Buckley and Elliott Smith contributed far more to music in much shorter spans of time than Korn and MM have in nearly twenty years.

As to people who voice concern over Oasis, go back and listen to their first two records and I think your fears will be assuaged.

As for Weezer, I'll concede that most of their more recent material has fallen far short of what they're capable of, but their first record (the so-called "Blue Album") was the finest power pop album since the Cars' debut (perhaps unsurprising, since Ric Ocasek produced it); its staying power guarantees a spot in the Hall of Fame.

Posted by AreUExperienced on Monday, 07.13.09 @ 19:57pm

With the passing of the "rap revolution", 2019/2020 looks like a relatively clear-cut year.

Given the critical acclaim they get even if experts acknowledge that their music was derivative, Oasis are likely to get in and may well do so first ballot unless there are too many artists on the backlog. Outkast may have the credentials, but this was the very period when critics moved away from rap which may turn against them. I once thought Portishead had a real shot, but Sampson (from Digital Dream Door) makes me take back such an idea because it may be that their sales in the US were not sufficient. Korn may have the sales, but so many hip people hate what they did, so unless there is serious Nominating Committee turnover, Korn won't get in.

As for the rest, there seems little to say.

You can never count out papa roach. They might not get inducted right away but they still have a chance

Posted by yuh on Wednesday, 07.29.09 @ 23:55pm

I like Papa Roach. Lovehatetragedy is a damned good album. As for the Hall, they are probably not there yet. Another killer album or two & they could have the material to get in.

They probably need to kiss ass to Wenner as well. Wouldn't hurt.

Posted by Chalkie on Monday, 05.3.10 @ 19:00pm

Amon Amarth - No chance, but it would be cool if this happened

Korn - I hate to admit it, but they basically invented nu-metal, so they should be inducted. They won't be though.

Marilyn Manson - He's becoming obscure now. Good music, but how can he get in if Alice Cooper can't?

Nas - Rap Hall of Fame, definitely, but has he actually influenced rock?

Notorious B.I.G. - See Nas

Oasis - I think they'll be inducted, if not first-ballot then soon after. Too much respect for it to happen any other way. I've been going back and forth on whether they should be inducted, but right now I'm thinking yes.

Outkast - Maybe

Weezer - I'm leaning no, but my guess is they will be inducted

Those are the ones I feel comfortable commenting on.

Posted by Sam on Wednesday, 06.30.10 @ 21:13pm

I can definitely see them inducting Oasis, Outkast and Weezer.Jeff Buckley's probably a close call, For Nas and the Notorious B.I.G. it depends how far they go with inducting rap

Posted by riley on Monday, 04.6.09 @ 10:49am

How the hell does Manson have a good chance? Alright, his mentor Trent Reznor will definitely be in by then, but what else? Manson's got virtually no critical respect, hasn't had a hit album in about 10 years now, and becomes more and more a footnote every year. Not to mention he's got some metal about him, which always hurts, and how do you expect him to be inducted if Alice Cooper and KISS aren't?

Even more baffling is the idea that Korn is a lock.

1. They're widely considered metal, and the Hall hates metal.

2. They're becoming less succesful with each album, and the albums this decade are considered much weaker.

3. Most of their critical acclaim is in the Hard Rock and Metal critics. Which brings us back to Point 1.

Manson and Korn have slim to no chance under the current regime. As for whether they deserve to, that's another discussion.

Sam,

1) Korn have been given respect by even mainstream publications like Rolling Stone and even EW magazines - esp for Untouchables, their most underrated record!

2) Their albums are less successful saleswise due to the downloading concert but I heard their concerts are still in demand and they still chart in the Top 5 of the album charts!

3) I wouldn't call the likes of Rolling Stone and EW "hard rock/metal" press y'know! Hard Rock/Metal press is the likes of Revolver Magazine and Kerrang!...

Posted by Antonio on Friday, 09.24.10 @ 00:09am

Oops I meant "Downloading Culture" so pervasive with regards to pt number 2 - the original comment was partly a typo!

Posted by Antonio on Friday, 09.24.10 @ 00:11am

All valid points, Antonio, and I actually support Korn's induction. I was using Acclaimed Music to measure their critical respect, and I found that they're not very high up in that regard. Plus, Hard Rock and Metal hasn't done so well in the Hall outside of the ones which they really couldn't ignore like Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Sabbath and Metallica (who I suspect would've been kept out if they'd broken up when Cliff died, as I believe their massive success made the difference for them,) so I don't see how Korn can necessarily have a legitimate shot if Deep Purple (100 million records sold, legitimate critical respect these days and plenty of airplay on Metal/Hard Rock radio shows and several songs in heavy rotation on CRR [Classic Rock Radio]) and Iron Maiden (70 million records sold, can headline major festivals and still occasionally sell out stadiums in the UK and parts of Europe, can always sell out stadiums in Mexico and South America) still can't get a shot when they're liked more. Still, we'll see, I guess; they could have a resurgence in popularity, and there's still nine years to go, during which time some younger blood could come along. We'll see, but just don't hold your breath.

Posted by Sam on Wednesday, 09.29.10 @ 08:47am

"Not to mention he's got some metal about him, which always hurts, and how do you expect him to be inducted if Alice Cooper and KISS aren't?" - Me

Alice Cooper is now in. KISS probably will soon, so Manson could if he really works hard over this decade. If he's still at the point where he is now by then, no chance. Kind of the same with Korn.

As for everyone else: Check the Acclaimed Music website. Oasis were regaining some of the critical kudos and commercial success when they broke up, with their final two albums seeing their best reviews since the 90's, when they released work that receives tremendous praise now, even in the US. Morning Glory featured on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and on the Rock Hall Definitive 200, while Rolling Stone gave DM and BHN very positive reviews when they came out (the latter by David Fricke, a member of the Nominating Commitee). Morning Glory features on quite a few best 90's albums lists on both sides of the Atlantic, and they're cited by (and are friends with members of) Coldplay, who will surely be in someday. They have friends in high places who will vote for them (if those friends are still alive by then), and remember the people in charge could be younger by then, which surely works in their favor. Granted they lost some commercial power with BHN (and the music wasn't the same after that either) and Morning Glory was the only big-selling album, but they were still a popular live draw in the US (still selling out Madison Square Garden), so that should help.

You can say some of the same things about Weezer, except that Weezer were more popular, have more of an advantage because they're American, and are still around. Critical respect and commercial success fell off for them at the beginning of the 2000's, but there's still time to work on both. Like Oasis, they will get in eventually.

Posted by Sam on Sunday, 01.2.11 @ 12:45pm

Even if The Blue Album and Pinkerton were the only albums they ever released, they'd definitely deserve a spot.

The fact that they came out popular into the next century, and have released so many classic songs today is just a bonus.

Weezer deserve a spot for sure.

Posted by Tahvo Parvianen on Tuesday, 03.8.11 @ 08:08am

I guess it's time to really get my position on the "Rap Question" on record. I do support Rap/Hip Hop being inducted... but selectively. For one thing, there's a very big backlog that needs to be dealt with (it was annoying that Grandmaster Flash and Run DMC leapfrogged over most of that backlog, but that's the Hall's fault not their's), plus the worthy non-rap newly eligibles. Rappers are worthy in my opinion if they hit on at least one of the following:

a) Breaking new ground. Given that the state of mainstream hip-hop is as much devoid of ideas and the ability to excite as most of the mainstream itself these days (not all but mostly), this seems particularly important.

b) Influencing/having an impact on rock music. This one's tough, as it's difficult to define "rock" at this point, but figuring out when it's happening is certainly possible.

c) Having at least a touch of rock in what you're doing. It's obvious whether or not it's happening when you hear it.

Just thought I'd throw that out there. With this template I think we can discuss who's worthy.

Posted by Sam on Monday, 03.14.11 @ 13:49pm

Outkast
Portishead

Posted by GFW on Saturday, 12.3.11 @ 11:31am

Cake - Nah, who talks about Cake nowdays?
Daft Punk - yeah, they wer eonce one of the most popular dance acts, but the hall dosen't like elctronic that much. then again they have sales and respect so who knows.
Elliott Smith - Not well known enough.
Fugees - Lauryn Hills with them so that might increase their chances a bit.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - A bit too "out there" for the hall.
Grandaddy - nah, too obscure.
Harvey Danger - only really had one hit.
Jamie Foxx - Nope, he's most well known for imitating Ray Charles, and tribute acts don't get in.
Jeff Buckley - He might considering the hall will be more alternative leaning by then, but it's iffy, he only had one true album after all.
Joe Bonamassa - I can't see it happening.
Korn - They may have sales but the hall dislikes metal, they'll HATE Nu-Metal!
Marilyn Manson - sorry, shock can only take you so far. Least Cooper sprinkled in some great tunes.
Nas - The hall loves hipitty hopitty music and Nas is one of the most respected artists of it, but his lack of great sales might hurt his chance.
Notorious Big - A lock.
Oasis - also a lock
Outkast - another lock!
Papa Roach - see korn.
Portishead - If any trip hop is inducted it'll probably only be Massive Attack.
Supergrass - the many more deserving britpop artists will cut off any chances these guys have.
Tricky - Like I said with portishead, I think Massive Attack will be that genres sole representation.
Usher - Maybe, if the hall starts inducting COnt R&B he's got a great chance.
Weezer - Not a lock per se but they have a good chance.

Posted by GFW on Thursday, 03.1.12 @ 13:23pm

Aaliyah: From what i understand a fairly big name in 90's R&B, might be inducted to represent it.

Cake: Nah, not really important

Daft Punk: Onf ot the most successful and most acclaimed dance acts ever. I would say a lock but the hall isn't exactly a big fan of electronic music.

Elliott SMith: A great artist but perhaps a bit obscure for the halls taste.

Fugees: There are much more desrving 90's rap acts, but they might manage it due to having Lauryn Hill.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor: Pretty unlikely, I can't see the hall acknowledging Post Rock.

Grandaddy + Harvey Danger: Irrelevant, though FLagpole SItta is pretty awesome.

Jamie Foxx: WHat does he even do apart from imitate Ray Charles?

Jeff Buckley: nah, one album isn't enough (before anyone brings up the Sex Pistols, Grace has nowhere near the importance of Nevermind The Bollocks)

Joe Bonamassa: I think SRV is as far forward as the hall will go when it comes to blues, if they do ever induct him.

Korn: The hall dosen't like metal, but if they ever acknowledge Nu-Metal Korn have a pretty good chance.

Marilyn Manson: I doubt it, he hasn't been important in a long time.

Nas: Maybe, he is probably the most acclaimed 90's rapper after tupac and B.I.G.

Notorious B.I.G.: I'd say a lock, the halls will want to induct 90's rap and this guys one of the biggest names in it.

Oasis: Unlike The Smiths Oasis are actually well known i nthe states, so they got a pretty good chance.

Outkast: Probably, yeah. They'll have to wait a bit but I'm fairly sure they'll get in.

Papa Roach: No chance.

Portishead: Nah, If the hall induct trip hop it'll sadly probably only be Massive Attack.

Supergrass: Nah, from britpop I can only see Oasis and maybe Blur being inducted.

Tricky: See Portishead comment

Usher: Well he might actually have a chance. From what I've seen he's one of the more critically acclaimed pop acts around now plus he's got longevity on his side. He might have a good chance.

Weezer: Yeah I can see them as a lock, just for their first two albums.
