Should be in, they have the biggest arena rock album and also pioneered that trend. They are probably the most worthy among that arena rock lineup.
But I bet it is less likely to happen because Tom Scholz does not get along well with industry people. They are on par with Bryan Adams and Mötley Crüe considering they were breakthrough acts and have the best peak
Toto were never a constantly arena-level touring act, though, even in their heydays. Still, they are better than most of the other arena rock picks because "Africa" is a true "evergreen" song (not, for example, Kansas hits that seem to be "evergreen" but are mainly listened to by the same age group of people for 40-50 years, and "Africa" is also listened to by Millennials and Gen Z a lot). Also, the fact that they serve as backing musicians makes them more worthy. I still would rank them below Bryan Adams or Mötley Crüe, maybe Styx, but they are more worthy than other arena rock acts that are still not in for me.
Sheryl Crow joins the committee for just two years? Wow... She is already 64 years old, so in theory, she will be on the committee until she is 77 years old? (Jimmy Jam also joined at an older age, but at least he can push more Black R&B music, which the Rock Hall seriously lacks. That's different from white oldies rock.)
I mean, she deserves her place in the Rock Hall as a performer inductee, but she is also kind of an old guard taste, and the Rock Hall committee is bringing her in as a "young voice" in the room? I actually see this as the Rock Hall's white boomer old guard wanting to maintain its influence even after they retire, so they decide to bring Sheryl Crow into the room to continue pushing acts that fit oldies tastes.
Her taste is more similar to Little Steven's than Dave Grohl's (who is also nearing 60 years old but is still shockingly seen as a "younger voice" in the room, what a joke).
Really, we will see that oldies rock will be put on the table again and again, even when we reach the year when Billy Corgan is 70 years old?
