The nominees for the 2010 R&R HOF class were announced earlier. They are (in no particular order):
KISS
ABBA
Donna Summer
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Genesis
the Stooges
LL Cool J
Jimmy Cliff
the Hollies
Darlene Love
the Chantels
Laura Nyro
The induction ceremony will take place March 15 in New York City, only five of the 12 will be inducted (announced in December). Tough task, but interested in hearing your five nominees.....
I'm going w/ KISS (overdue, like it or not), Genesis, LL, the Stooges, and even though I abhor disco, Donna Summer. Hard to exclude the Hollies and Jimmy Cliff though. Not too familiar w/ Laura Nyro, the Chantels, or Darlene Love. Thoughts?

As a lifelong Kate Bush fan, I really hope she will be inducted, though I also believe the RnRHoF doesn't have a lot of credibility left. My other pick for 2018 would be Radiohead, The Moody Blues, Judas Priest and Dire Straits. Reply #181. Oct 06 17, 1:21 PM |

So glad to see The Moody Blues who have been rocking for 50 years finally being recognized, it's about time! Reply #182. Oct 09 17, 12:32 AM |

I almost cried when I heard my Moody Blues were nominated. I have been waiting for this for so long! Hopefully they can soon sing, "I'm Just A Singer In A Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Band!" Reply #183. Oct 10 17, 11:41 AM |

The Class of 2018 inductees were announced today. They are: Bon Jovi The Cars Dire Straits the Moody Blues Nina Simone and Sister Rosetta Tharpe tagged separately as an "early influence" The big surprise is that Radiohead didn't make the short list for actual induction. They were one of the two artists that I thought were shoo-ins in their first year of eligibility, the remaining one out there being Eminem, who I expect to be inducted in his first year of eligibility in a few years. The selection of the Moody Blues handles the last really popular band that I couldn't believe wasn't in the Rock Hall. About the only band left that I can't believe isn't in yet is Kraftwerk, who are about as influential as they come within their genre. Picked 4 of the 5 correctly this year! Disappointed that I was correct about Bon Jovi making the short list, but overall happy about the selectees. Reply #184. Dec 13 17, 10:38 AM |

I am saddened by the news today that founding member of the Moody Blues, Ray Thomas, has passed away. Better late than never for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to recognize the Moodies. Reply #187. Jan 07 18, 5:27 PM |

Later this week the inductees for the Class of 2019 will be announced from the below long list of nominees- they tend to induct five or six of the nominees. The long list is: The Cure Def Leppard Devo Janet Jackson Kraftwerk LL Cool J MC5 Stevie Nicks John Prine Radiohead Rage Against the Machine Roxy Music Rufus featuring Chaka Khan Todd Rundgren the Zombies In previous years, I've tried to predict who would make it and who I thought should make it, from these nominees. The Rock Hall of Fame is supposed to consider merit and influence over popularity and record sales, but there has been a growing number of really popular bands who are not critics favorites in the past several years, including as an example Bon Jovi, who was inducted earlier this year. Who I would pick from this list, in descending order of enthusiasm: Kraftwerk Roxy Music Both of these bands were incredibly influential and to me the most egregious examples of who should be in the Hall but are not. Todd Rundgren Def Leppard the Zombies Radiohead Who I think WILL be inducted: Def Leppard Janet Jackson Todd Rundgren Stevie Nicks the Zombies, and if there is a sixth, Roxy Music Reply #188.

I'm pulling for The Zombies and Stevie! Reply #189. Dec 12 18, 2:38 PM |

SO happy to see that Roxy Music made it in. Their 1982 album, Avalon, is one of the best albums of that decade, IMHO. Reply #190. Dec 17 18, 11:30 PM |

The nominees for possible induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2022: These were announced earlier this year. Out of this group of 17, at least 5, and up to 8 of the nominees will be inducted, with the inductees probably being announced sometime next month: Beck Pat Benatar Kate Bush Devo Eminem Duran Duran Eurythmics Fela Kuti Judas Priest MC5 New York Dolls Dolly Parton Rage Against the Machine Lionel Richie Carly Simon A Tribe Called Quest Dionne Warwicke My choices of the above, in order of descending enthusiasm: Kate Bush Duran Duran Eurythmics Pat Benatar Judas Priest and if 7, Dionne Warwicke New York Dolls Who I think they will induct, in order of my guess about vote totals: Duran Duran Eminem Pat Benatar Eurythmics Judas Priest And if 7: Kate Bush A Tribe Called Quest Reply #191.
