Unfortunately for Sinead Mariah and Mary J are on the ballot and maybe if one of them were on the ballot she would have a chance but I don't think even her passing passing sad to say is enough for her candidacy to overcome those 2

I still stick to my guns that Oasis will sneak in however

Only thing that's changed here is the Tribe and Frampton inclusions. This is gonna be a mostly 1960s-1970s class with Tribe and Sinead being the only reminders of the '80s and '90s acts.

This list actually looks closest to what happened the last time Dave Matthews Band got a nod: they got outvoted by two 1970s bands, a talented rap act and a posthumous music legend and the same could happen this year.

Why I suddenly changed on Lenny: despite his connections, I don't know how serious people took his nod, plus there's Frampton and I can't see people passing him up despite my initial objections.

If you're a 1990s act in general, it's just not a good year. Mariah won't get in because she seems to care even less about her nod than Cher. Not a good time also if you're Mary J. or Dave Matthews or Oasis.

Also not good if you're an R&B act. Kool and the Gang seems to be the designated R&B inductee. If they induct a second R&B act, it'll likely be Lenny though he's more of a rocker obviously. Mary J. has support but it's not enough for this year.

If anything, the one act I had difficulty wondering if she was gonna get in or not was Mariah. Cher seems to take her spot as the designated pop diva/legend inductee this year. Ozzy will be in the Willie Nelson position. So where does that leave Mariah? In a no man's land. If it's not the pop diva box she's gotta tend with, it's the R&B box and votes will be split between her, Mary and Sade in the same way votes were split up between Janet, Chaka and Joe Tex back in 2017. And then the hip-hop box. I bet many go hard for Tribe this year than any hip-hop or hip-hop influenced act.

And for the first time since 2020, there will be less than three female inductees. I seriously think they'll just induct two women this time around which is still better than one and definitely better than none.

Lenny still could get in if they allow nine inductees but I have a feeling if they go to 8, Oasis is in there.

----
Again, this was not an easy list to predict and I still can't believe we're still two days away from the actual induction yet it still feel like two weeks lol

My picks for artists and notable in the other categories are mostly the same though:

Musical Excellence:
Devo
Eric B. and Rakim
The Sweet Inspirations
Dionne Warwick

Early/musical influence
Roy Brown
MC5
Mary Wells
Marvelettes
Big Mama Thornton

Ahmet Ertegun:
Ashford & Simpson
Ed Sullivan

----
Before you ask, no it's not because I have an obsession with being right, it's just my thought process. I admit I could be dead wrong here with a lot of these picks. We'll find out what voters eventually picked at the end. I also feel this is gonna keep changing until Sunday lmao
