I'm good with everyone on this list. Surprised that Tina and Rundgren weren't already in.

I've moved on and no longer care. It's Rock and Roll hall of fame in name only. It's really just a popular music hall of fame and has been since the beginning.

Since we have determined it's more of a music hall of fame now, I am on board with LL Cool J and Jay-Z getting in. Big fan of them, and they are great in their genre (not rock and roll of course)
Those 2, Foo Fighters, RatM seem like easy choices

Thinking a Prophets of Rage style show overall but with some tweaks.

Jay-Z starts off with PSA. LL comes in with Mama Said Knock You Out with Rage as the backing band. Rage continues with a song or 2 (Killing in the Name with Zach/LL/Jay-Z trading off vocals for sure) and transitioning into a Foo mini set (maybe a lil Darling Nikki hat tip to Prince & and his RRHOF performance) and finally Tina Turner comes out and duets with Dave Grohl/Foo doing a mash-up "Simply the Best (of You)"

who says no?

They said the web site for fan voting broke down this morning.

I can't imagine what band might have caused that to happen.

Shocked that Iron Maiden wasn't already there.


I used them in my classroom.

One of the most literate bands ever.

Back in the day me and my crew used to f'ing rock out for hours to Dionne Warwick. So much coke and partying to her music. Unreal times.

It almost killed a few of us before we finally realized the downward spiral of addictive hell her music put us in.

Iron Maiden should be auto. Their 40 year body of work is mind blowing.

And as mentioned by Tanya they have some of the smartest lyrics on the planet and very complicated musical arrangements.

Pat Benatar almost got in last year and not even on the list this year. Look for a go go's push. There was the documentary last year and that usually leads to induction.

The Go-Go's are a shoo-in and rightfully so. Judas Priest belongs in before Maiden.

Yep, last of the big, stadium rock bands.

Eddie Trunk was going off today, saying how ridiculous that it took 16 years after eligibility for Maiden just to get nominated , but Foos on 1st try. It wasn't anything against Foos, as they deserve to be in, but how a global arena band like Maiden has to wait 16 years, and Foos on first try.

Ridic that Benatar isn't in. Every bit as influential as the GoGos. And with more hits. She has had two multi-Platinum albums, five Platinum albums, and 15 Top 40 singles.

White Stripes will be eligible in 2024. I think they may be the next.

I don't even know why they call it "rock n roll", anymore. I know it's said every year... but it's just sad.

Nothing says rock & roll more than Dionne Warwick.

Do YOU know the way to San Jose?

She's already a member with Ike. This is a solo nomination for her.

Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach were an absolute killer combination in the 60's. Some of the greatest pop songs ever recorded. I have ZERO problem with this nomination.

If you want to argue that it's "NOT ROCK AND ROLL!!!!", have at it. This board has that argument EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. when nominations are announced and if you still haven't realized that this HOF isn't limited to "rock" bands in an esoteric sense then I don't know what to tell you.

Heavy metal was just widely ignored by the RRHOF for a long time.
