    About the 2026 Inductees, Ray wrote:
    Avril Lavigne actually has a sneaky interesting case. She was her own brand of female pop punk before Paramore. She gets cited as an influence by not only pop-oriented names lie Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, and Olivia Rodrigo, but also more indie names like Phoebe Bridgers, Ethel Cain, and Snail Mail. Rina Sawayama apparently first picked up a guitar because of her. I would kinda expect her to appear on a ballot at some point, tbh, and it'll be interesting to see if some of the above names start to go to bat for her, especially if some of them get in.

    About Huey Lewis and The News, Pinson wrote:
    Styx and Huey Lewis absolutely dominated the charts for ages: Styx from 73 all the way to 90, and Huey Lewis from 82 through 91. Hardly any artists pull off a run that long. And they just cranked out multi-platinum album after multi-platinum album, nonstop hits! They were everywhere in the 80s, you couldn't turn on a radio without hearing 'em. The whole 80s sound would be totally different without 'em. It's a damn crime they're not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
