    What are people talking about?

    About KC and the Sunshine Band, Yukio wrote:
    They had better chart performance than Chic because they had white members in the band and were therefore pushed more on white radio stations.

    Their influence on later music is not on the level of Chic. They have been sampled heavily, but the same is true of a ton of R&B acts from the same era. Chic inspired Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust," directly influenced Blondie's blend of disco and punk, and the first-ever rap hit sampled Chic. The later funk sound was also heavily influenced by Nile Rodgers' guitar playing.

    KC & the Sunshine Band may have a case, but it's not very appealing. They are funk's version of white AOR rock.

    About the 2026 Inductees, Yukio Mishima wrote:
    Slade would be easily voted in if nominated, they have very similar resume and voting base to T. Rex. However, it probably won't happen.

    About Slade, Yukio Mishima wrote:
    Important influence to later glam metal bands, deserve to be inducted but probably chance is slim. Their influence to later musicians is lower than their glam rock peers T. Rex and Roxy Music though (this is why T. Rex and Roxy got in but Slade still haven't been inducted)
