| Paramore has enough industry support to be nominated/inducted within their first 5 years of eligibility. They could even be a dark horse FYE nominee in 2030. They definitely deserve it! | |

| About David Guetta, The Towerman wrote: | |
| He'll only be in the conversation once Daft Punk is inducted. Once they are, then his chances will be significantly higher. Absolutely inescapable in the early 2010s, and had a few hits in the late 2010s-early 2020s. I can see him being a Bon Jovi-type case, where he gets nominated only because he's too big to ignore, but he definitely won't be getting in any time soon. | |

| *** BOBBY BYRD is an INDUCTEE into the ROCK and ROLL HALL of FAME !! *** (But…with WHICH GROUP ??) The Instrumental JBs FUNK BAND? Or The FAMOUS FLAMES VOCAL GROUP??? If you ask the THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO POSTED RECENTLY on FACEBOOK… They'll INSIST that it was with The JB's FUNK BAND in 2015. But… that's IMPOSSIBLE!! Do you know WHY ? Here is the REASON: The JB's BAND NEVER GOT INDUCTED…NOT IN 2015…or ANY OTHER YEAR !! Nominated YES. But INDUCTED ?? NO. Therefore, BOBBY BYRD COULD NEVER HAVE BEEN INDUCTED AS A MEMBER OF THE JBs…BECAUSE THE JBS NEVER GOT INDUCTED!! WELL, THEN, THAT BEGS THE QUESTION…. DID BOBBY BYRD EVER GET INDUCTED AT ALL ? YES!!!! BUT, NOT WITH ANY INSTRUMENTAL FUNK BAND !!! He was INDUCTED IN 2012…as member (and indeed as the FOUNDER…) Of the VOCAL GROUP… **************** THE FAMOUS FLAMES !!! **************** THE SINGING GROUP THAT FIRST GAVE THE WORLD JAMES BROWN !!! So…to all those of you who are posting MISINFORMATION ON YOUTUBE… PLEASE MAKE THE NEEDED ADJUSTMENTS TO YOUR ARTICLES…. SO THAT MUSIC HISTORY WILL BE SET RIGHT… And THE FAMOUS FLAMES WILL RECEIVE THEIR PROPER CREDIT. THE FAMOUS FLAMES' 2012 Induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was done was as an ADDENDUM and a CORRECTION TO BROWN'S 1986 SOLO INDUCTION…WHICH SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED THE FAMOUS FLAMES…. BECAUSE JAMES BROWN DID NOT QUALIFY FOR SOLO INDUCTION THAT YEAR… … BUT , HE DID QUALIFY AS A MEMBER OF THE FAMOUS FLAMES SO…THE FLAMES SHOULD HAVE BEEN INDUCTED WITH HIM THAT YEAR., THOSE ARE THE FACTS. LOOK IT UP. THERE WAS NO SUCH THING as FUNK MUSIC in 1956…. And that year was the starting point and the basis for… The INDUCTION for JAMES BROWN & THE FAMOUS FLAMES BOBBY BYRD, JONNY TERRY, BOBBY BENNETT, and LLOYD STALLWORTH. https://rockhall.com/inductees/famous-flames/ | |

| Johnny Rivers belongs in the Rock'n Roll Hall Of Fame. A few years back after the ceremony at the Hall of Fame, they had a group of different musical people come up on stage. . One person to come up was, Johnny Rivers. Now, if he can play in their band why can't he be in the Hall of Fame? Johnny Rivers belongs, period. | |

| About the 2026 Inductees, Carl wrote: | |
| Probably need to rank The Black Keys a bit lower. They were not hated by critics, but they were never highly acclaimed either, and they are not very innovative or influential (to other musicians). They were commercially successful (having a 2x multi-platinum album in the early 2010s is impressive), but they were never mega stars, and their popularity is dwindling. Probably they should be more like a modern-day The Black Crowes, which are not that worthy, that kind of retro act. I probably ranked them too high. | |

| About Foghat, Carl wrote: | |
| "As for Foghat, I'm kind of on the fence. I think they have about as much significance as many of their contemporaries--REO Speedwagon, Kansas, Boston, Loverboy--who aren't in the Hall, and maybe a little less than Foreigner and Journey, who are." Compare them to Kansas, REO Speedwagon, Foghat are all a bit weaker, way less sales, way less hits, way less relavant. Compare them to Boston, whose debut album changed the trending style of rock music is laughable. They have zero reason to be in. Just because they are talented and excellence musicians doesn't mean they have resume to be in. Need critical thinking not just fandom. | |

| About the 2026 Inductees, Carl wrote: | |
| In the Rick Krim era (since 2023), except for historical remaining picks that had already received three or three-plus nominations before 2023 (The Spinners, Kate Bush, Rage Against the Machine), getting a third nomination has become very precious and seems to mean that the Rock Hall really NEEDS the act to be inducted as a Performer. Below is the list of acts that have received their third nomination since 2023. A Tribe Called Quest Soundgarden Oasis Joy Division/New Order Iron Maiden Mariah Carey (the only one not inducted yet) Yeah, the Rock Hall is becoming very cautious about giving out a third nomination since 2023. They can backdoor any act they want, and the Rock Hall can still avoid being criminal if some acts are inducted through a side category instead of the Performer category (Salt N Pepa, Queen Latifah, and MC Lyte). But if the Rock Hall gives an act a third nomination since 2023, it seems to mean that the Rock Hall really NEEDS them to become Performer inductees. Of course, there may still be historical remaining picks (that already received their third nomination before 2023) that could randomly get another nomination, namely Devo and WAR. And with Mariah Carey, I don't think she will be side categorized. Here are the current acts with two nominations: Jane's Addiction Eric B. & Rakim The Smiths The Black Crowes And that is it. Don't count acts like The Marvelettes and The Chantels, since I think they are destined for the Early Influence category if their induction ever happens. Three nominations are now becoming somewhat of an honor. So I am not sure, for example, whether Eric B. & Rakim or Jane's Addiction are already done with main ballot competition and destined for a side category Or whether The Black Crowes will become a "two and done" case and simply never receive a third nomination. They don't carry the same weight as A Tribe Called Quest, Soundgarden, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, or Iron Maiden. I also find it hard to envision The Black Crowes being inducted through Musical Influence, and there is no Musical Excellence category as a consolation prize anymore. So, are they simply done as an induction case? It is easier to get two nominations, but getting the third one means that acts must be important enough to make committee hard to ignore, are The Black Crowes that important or having that huge support from committee that thinking Black Crowes are a MUST and can't be ignored at all. | |

| I have stated it multiple times, the Smashing Pumpkins are more diverse in direction than AIC. While AIC absolutely is influential, the Pumpkins should've been in long before Soundgarden, Oasis and many other 90s acts. I find them a bigger snub, and think and hope they will be the next 90s group. It should've happened back in 2014 | |
