About the 2024 Nominees, Timothy Pernell wrote:
My predictions have changed somewhat (AGAIN LOL, probably the 100th time in a month :) )

But my picks for locks have changed.

I think the assured locks are:
Cher
Kool
Foreigner

Ozzy and Lenny are now "maybes".

Reason I say this? Oasis.

I feel if any of those edgy acts have a chance, it's Oasis, and to a smaller degree, the late Sinead O'Connor. Ozzy still could get the fourth position (and no I'm not basing this on the fan vote).

But Lenny will probably have a harder time judging on the fact that there are so many '90s nominees this year (I know Lenny, like Sinead, was late '80s but their impact was more felt in the '90s):

Oasis
MJB
Mariah
Dave Matthews Band (the anomaly in this list)
ATCQ

Then we have his peers in the late '80s category:
Jane's Addiction
Sinead

But Lenny's path could still be clear unless most black voters are NOT familiar with him (great possibility there despite his name) and they just go for MJB and likely ATCQ even with Lenny being friends with inductees like Jay-Z and all.

I think Oasis is pushing towards a lock. I think there'll at least be three bands in the Hall. I didn't vote for Oasis in the fan vote but I do think they should be in there and WILL be in there. Regardless if they protest against showing up or not.

So now, we have the "locks":
Cher
Kool and the Gang
Foreigner
Oasis

Ozzy will likely have no competition so I think we can safely put this as someone who will be a lock. For one, he has the classics, two, his late partner Randy Rhoads was inducted before him and Ozz's in there with Black Sabbath, and three, it's Ozzy f***ing Osbourne LOL

So:
Cher
K&TG
Foreigner
Oasis
Ozzy

Those on the outs:
Sade
Jane's Addiction
EBAR
Dave Matthews Band (I request they enter the side door if they want them in so badly)
Frampton (save as DMB)

Now we're left with two (or three) slots.

And who's left in this for potential inductees:
Lenny
MJB
Mariah Carey (biggest name in the list overall)
ATCQ
Sinead O'Connor

My theory now says if many voters think MJB is the safest "hip-hop" choice, Tribe DOESN'T get in.

Then this leaves:
Lenny
Mariah
Sinead

Both Lenny & Mariah got nominated in the midst of some momentum (more on Lenny's side than Mariah's) from being honored with some lifetime honors (both Mariah and Lenny received NARAS' Dr. Dre Global Impact Award this last February) but it could break down to which one the Hall prefers to induct. If their focus is on influential singers, Mariah should get in with no problem, but if they're looking for an act that appeals to both minorities and the "RAH RAH ROCK AND ROLL" crowds, Lenny's your guy. Plus Sinead is standing out like a sore thumb and could actually be a problem for either of them.

But if it's decided that the votes are close enough, two of the three of them could join the other five.

This would make for a good Hall. Plus some of the nominees inducted in other categories so everyone can be happy - impossibility because Hall watchers have a tendency to get overdramatic when their fave doesn't get in the first time. LOL

So rundown, this could be our 2024 class:
Cher
Kool and the Gang
Foreigner
Oasis
Ozzy Osbourne
Mary J. Blige
Sinead O'Connor
Mariah Carey (if 8)
Lenny Kravitz (if 9)

Overall, these nine are the ones I think are most qualified for induction this year.

Will M,

Yes, so I mentioned that white Boomers are completely disinterested in JDNO, resulting in a very slim voting base for them. Many of the artists they've influenced, such as The Strokes, Tyler, The Creator, Björk, Moby, Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, The Killers (though I'm not certain about their voting rights), Interpol, and LCD Soundsystem, are not Rock Hall voters.

To make matters worse, Kraftwerk's commercial performance in the U.S. actually rivals that of JDNO. Kraftwerk boasts a US No. 5 album and a No. 25 pop hit single, both of which outperform JDNO's chart success in the U.S., and Kraftwerk's influence is arguably even greater than that of JDNO. This suggests that JDNO's prospects for induction are quite bleak.

Will M,

For instance, George Clinton might be inclined to vote for groups like A Tribe Called Quest. In terms of the names you've mentioned, it aligns with my observation that white Boomer inductees tend to appreciate new music by white artists less than Black Boomer inductees appreciate new music by Black artists. Furthermore, some Black voters, even if not familiar with the music of younger Black artists, might seriously consider voting for these young Black acts because they are Black, motivated by a desire to see more Black inductees (which is entirely valid). This kind of scenario is less likely to occur among white Boomers.

power,

I can respect that. Some here have made some good arguments with Mariah bringing pop/r&b fusions into the mainstream. I don't fully agree with that but I can see where people are coming from with argument

Regarding Soundgarden, I do actually think they'll make it in within 4 nominations. They are way less heavy and polerizing politically then Rage who made it in 5 and more would be inclined to vote for them. They might benefit greatly from the 7 artists vote change like Jane and Oasis might. Pearl Jam and Nirvana are from the same scene and are similar in certain ways but them having chart hits got them first year inductions while Soundgarden never really hit the Hot 100. Not hard to believe a band like that would take a few more tries but they are big and appealing enough to make it in the traditional route. They might hit a good spot between old and young voters finding them more appealing then other choices to finish out their ballot
