Power If the hall really does the let's pick someone from spots 7-10 for the 7th spot but I dunno If dmb wins and they don't get in again the hall should just scrap the vote. If they want fan involvement do like the songwriters hall sell ballots | |

If DMB cannot get in this year (assuming they are the final fan vote winner), who will be involved in the fan vote in the future? However, I am not sure if the hall will really manipulate the results to ensure DMB gets in if they do not obtain enough votes. | |

Honestly the fan ballot is the thing that makes me iffy on not including dmb. Like if they win one and don't get in again the hall looks awful. Like maybe you just induct them as the fan vote winner or something | |

I have a gut feeling that DMB will be the second fan vote winner to miss out on final induction, with the first being DMB in 2020. | |

I just want to note that the main voting body is past inductees and industry people, they have a totally different view with critics. The only thing I agree is that Kool & the Gang is lock. Tribe has decent chance but not a lock. | |

Timothy Pernell I know right. Although I'm little surprised by it when I remembered that she got a surprise Album of the Year nomination at the Grammys last year. It's a long shot, but I might predict that the majority of the inductees will be R&B/Hip Hop influenced with Oasis & Foreigner being the only guitar driven inductees this year. If I had my way, this would be my dream 2024 class: Mariah Carey Cher Eric B. & Rakim Oasis Sinéad O'Conner Sade A Tribe Called Quest | |

DMBros do know that the ballot is less then one thousandth of the overall votes and there's no difference between 1st, 3rd or 7th right? Unless they are trying to make a point why he should be in with the amount of voters it feels like another artist fanbase is being fooled by the allure again. | |

chasingwildcat: Darlene's induction was a middle finger to Phil Spector, I believe. But yeah, she should've gotten in Musical Excellence. It's probably due to the politics by Bruce and Company since they're friends with DL (then again Darlene was actually nominated two times before she got in so IDK maybe they really wanted her in...). I think Percy got in because many of the critics were crazy about When a Man Loves a Woman, plus Ahmet was still alive and kicking at the time. How did he get to be a first ballot inductee, I'll never understand lol | |

One thing I notice though is that almost all of the leading artists on the ballot tracker are artists who have a lot of R&B influence in their music with the exception of Oasis. Very interesting… | |

Rakim 7 for Mary J. Blige 6 for Jane's Addiction 6 for Ozzy Osborne 5 for Mariah Carey 5 for Frampton 5 for Sade 4 for Foreigner 4 for Cher 4 for Lenny Kravitz Still no votes for DMB outside the fan vote. (Also, I remember someone here said that Howard Stern and shared who he's voting for. Anyone has a source to that?) | |

Thanks Chris D. Hmm. Based on that, it seems like (besides a few like Eddie Trunk) almost everyone who is willing to share their ballot on the tracker have said that they're going to vote for Kool & The Gang and A Tribe Called Quest. *Insert Hawkeye "Don't give me hope" gif" | |

I have zero doubt Foreigner is getting in this year. They have an endorsement from Paul McCartney and it would satisfy the boomers who were disappointed in last year's lack of rock bands present. | |

Dave Matthews Band is now 1st place on the Fan Vote. Does anybody think they will get in this year? Dave Matthews did a great job inducting Willie Nelson last year and there is no doubt the DMB fanbase will go to the ceremony and make the event sold out. | |

Chasingwildcat, Darlene Love's induction was a poke in the eye at Phil Spector more than anything else. She unquestionably deserved it, but she should have gone in the Side Man (I know, I know) category though. As should the Meters. No idea why they don't just induct them as ME, they pretty much embody that category. Mat R, I have been an advocate of Tommy James for a long time. Historically a performer has had to have missed induction after some nominations (Ringo the political exception), so I would rather they had been nominated somewhere along the line. But they belong. As do Paul Revere & Raiders and the Monkees. Maybe they can borrow a page from Baseball HoF and have an old-timers committee. | |

Darlene Love's induction into the Rock Hall is yet another strong proof that it's just a cozy little circle of insiders entertaining themselves. Why was she selected, yet Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Roberta Flack, and Patti LaBelle were not? It's truly a joke. Is it just because she's a good friend of Springsteen? | |

I wonder if corruption is a thing, when it comes to the Hall. I'm not suggesting that bribes have taken place, or even more specifically, that certain members of the committee have been persuaded to vote a certain way. but then again, that possibility can't be ruled out. | |

Mat R, A very bold prediction indeed. It's gonna happen, however I'm not too sure about this year given the possibility of MC5 would become one of them due to the recent passing of Wayne Kramer. Hmmm maybe both James/Shondells and MC5 could both be included in the category at the same time. | |

Can I make a bold prediction in the side categories? Tommy James & the Shondells as Musical Influence When I was chatting with Hall of Famers last year several singled them out as belonging in the hall of fame, including Ricky Byrd (a friend of Little Steven) who got in as a member of a band that famously covered James and Co. Tommy James & the Shondells popularized a ton of frequently covered songs. James has done a ceremony and he's from Ohio. I cautiously think it happens this year. Little Steven seemingly got link in last year, James and the shondells feel like a successor to them. | |

I think that it is possible that we might be surprised and get 3-4 women/female led acts in on this ballot (although probably not all 5) since they have a lot of catching up to do for nominating and inducting more deserving women/female led acts. (Perhaps, this is just wishful thinking on my part but I hope not.) I think all 5 this year have a good shot at getting inducted. From conversations that I've seen here, I think Sade would be the most surprising since not many people have predicted her. My preferred seven picks are: Cher Foreigner Peter Frampton Kool & the Gang Sade Mariah and/or MJB I am less certain about my 7th pick. I like all 4 women above a lot but I also like Lenny, Ozzy, Oasis, and DMB a lot too. | |

About King Crimson, Mikhail wrote: | |
Bill bruford and Robert fripp are the only two members before the 80s to last more than 2 years in this band. That makes this band a bit hard to induct. I think the hall does not want 10+ prog bros in it because it will lead to more prog bros. With Jann gone tho their induction is more Likley, much like foreigner was finally nominated. If protocol harem can get a nomination why not king crimson who are far more influential? Worst case scenario is that Robert fripp is inducted in a side category solo. Which would not do the legacy of this band, my favorite progressive rock band, justice, There is no other prog band that released an album like "islands". When they wanted to write with deep emotion, something prog is often void of , they did. | |

If Morrissey were to tragically perish I guarantee this band would be nominated that same year or the year after, I think him being alive still is the biggest detriment to their induction. On an unrelated note That Simpsons episode he tried to sue over is gold. | |
