The White Stripes 3. Coldplay 4. Daft Punk 5. Bjork 6. INXS 7. Iron Maiden 8. Lauryn Hill 9. OutKast 10. Phil Collins 11. Alanis Morrissette 12. Diana Ross 13. Thin Lizzy 14. De La Soul 15. Sting 16. Cyndi Lauper 17. Luther Vandross 18. Oasis 19. Smashing Pumpkins 20. War Maybe they could do something like this now it would be the 40th anniversary & also 30 years since the museum's grand opening. | |

| About INXS, Andrew wrote: | |
| INXS headlined many major festivals, not sure why the checkbox at the start is blank. They headlined Rock in Rio in 1991 (they were top of the bill on the second night), headlined Rock am Ring in 1991 & 1993, headlined the Hfstival in Washington in 1993, headlined Texas Jam in 1988 (GnR were on before them) amongst many others. Also, on the Rolling Stone cover, they were offered the US edition in 1988 but management declined it due to the magazine only wanting Michael for the shot. Agreed not a check in the box, but worth keeping in mind. We sometimes forget how big INXS were - and still have more Top 10 Billboard singles than both U2 and REM. | |

| We are now at the finale! I enjoy doing this every year and I can't believe I've done this annual special for 5 years already! Time flies by! We have encountered all variants of Rock at this point and I don't seem to run out of candidates! Now, onto the 12th day! 12. Weird Al Yankovic Origin: Downey, California Essential Albums: 1. In 3-D (1984) 2. Dare to Be Stupid (1985) 3. Even Worse (1988) 4. UHF (1989) 5. Off the Deep End (1992) Essential Songs: 1. Eat It (1984) 2. Like a Surgeon (1985) 3. Dare to Be Stupid (1985) 4. Smells Like Nirvana (1992) 5. Amish Paradise (1996) Influence: Frank Zappa, Talking Heads, DEVO The Legacy: Ben Folds Five, Barenaked Ladies, The Lonely Island Outlandish and hilarious, Weird Al Yankovic has spread laughter for more than 5 decades! An innovator of parody, he made even the most serious songs into full fledge comedy. Eat It, Amish Paradise, Polka Face, White and Dirty, Canadian Idiot, and so much more. However, Weird Al not only spans on music parodies but also cartoon appearances usual as himself or someone else. His appearances in cartoons has made him a generational icon that even kids are aware of the accordion jester. Johnny Bravo, Adventure Time, Captain Underpants, Billy and Mandy, and even debuting his hit song Dare to be Stupid on The Transformers: The Movie soundtrack! Weird Al is a busy guy, but he never fails to give his best 100% of the time. A Polka Hero even if there is one. A Hall induction would be the entertainment and eyes the Rock Hall could want. Imagine Weird Al making a song on the spot during his performance. That's how talented Weird Al is. Thank You and All of You have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!! | |

| Always crank it to 11! 11. Django Reinhardt *=Deceased Origin: Liberchies, Belgium Essential Songs: 1. Minor Swing (1937) 2. Nuages (1940) 3. I'll See You In My Dreams (1946) 4. Django's Tiger (1946) 5. Brazil (1947) Influence: Scott Joplin, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong The Legacy: Les Paul, Bob Wills, Willie Nelson There are many guitar players that are absolute legends of the rock genre. Jeff Beck, Mark Knopfler, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, and many others that cemented themselves as masters of the instrument. Those folk wouldn't have gotten their start if it weren't for people like Django Reinhardt. A popular guitar player of his time, Django innovated with guitar playing. Fast, slow, sloppy; You name it! He was truly ahead of his time. If Robert Johnson was the father that brought Rock in the U.S. Then Django Reinhardt was the one who brought around Europe. He's a perfect candidate for the early influence category and the Hall will gladly induct him when the time is right. Coming Up! The last one people! Dare to dream! | |

| Plebeian, PJ Harvey would be a great nominee and I think she's in that Sinead, Bjork, Tori Amos group that's being considered now that Kate Bush has been inducted. Definitely has the critical acclaim and influence, just wonder if the voting body is hip enough to get her inducted. If and when Oasis get in that could open the door for the Jam, which seems a bit backward, but Oasis was a far bigger success in the U.S. than the Jam ever was. If the Hall was based in the U.K. the Jam would have been in first ballot. We'll see what happens with them. Maybe E.I.? Megadeth was massive at the time, but given metal's challenges with the Hall I don't know if they'll ever make the cut. Wouldn't mind it if they got in though. | |

| Ben 10! 10. Megadeth Origin: Los Angeles, California *=Deceased Band Members: Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, Gar Samuelson*, Chris Poland, Marty Friedman, Nick Menza*, Jimmy DeGrasso, Shawn Drover, Chris Broderick Essential Albums: 1. Peace Sells…Who's Buying? (1986) 2. Rust in Peace (1990) 3. Countdown to Extinction (1992) 4. Youthanasia (1994) 5. Cryptic Writings (1997) Essential Songs: 1. Peace Sells (1986) 2. Holy Wars…The Punishment Due (1990) 3. Hanger 18 (1990) 4. Symphony of Destruction (1992) 5. A Tout Le Monde (1994) Influence: Alice Cooper, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden The Legacy: Pantera, Dream Theater, Rob Zombie The heavy metal band to rival Metallica, Megadeth was a true beast in what was a vast sea of other heavy metals of the time. Led by a fired up (literally) and spiteful Dave Mustaine, Megadeth was like the Sega Genesis to Metallica's Super Nintendo. Megadeth focused more on social commentary and nihilism of society. Life sucks and you will learn to deal with it! They were much more appealing and aggressive in their sound, going for a more thrash metal vibe than anything. As controversial as Mustaine is you would be lying to yourself if you didn't believe he was the sh*t. Heavy Metal is sadly still in the infant stage for the Hall and mostly having to rely on questionable inductions (JP in "Musical Excellence") and old favorites (Ozzy) to make sure they are not neglecting the genre. When that time comes hopefully Megadeth's turn will happen. I mean they did the Duke Nukem theme! Duke Nukem! Coming Up! The name is Django. The D is silent. | |

| About Irene Cara, MikeTMinChi2024 wrote: | |
| Irene Cara had the potential to be just as big of a superstar as Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey later became. Cara had two major hit songs which were inescapable in the early 1980s. She won an Oscar, two Grammys, and a Golden Globe. She sued her record label because she was not receiving her royalties and she ended up being blacklisted by the music industry. Her career was irreparably damaged and it's doubtful that the Rock Hall will ever consider her for induction. | |

| It's always not unknown when it comes to the most ridiculous RRHOF snubs meaning the committee needs to correct those omissions sooner or later. In retrospect, there's deserving artists who are already inducted based on meeting the criteria of influence, innovation, impact & significance regardless of genres & instruments. However there's others who also got in because of various things that has nothing to do with said criteria. So with said, here's the list of the worst RRHOF inductees of all time. Journey Foreigner Steve Miller Chicago Peter Frampton Darlene Love The Paul Butterfield Blues Band The Moody Blues The Zombies The Hollies The Dave Clark Five Bon Jovi Dire Straits Joan Jett & The Blackhearts Stevie Nicks Carly Simon Laura Nyro Percy Sledge Lloyd Price Bobby Darin Gene Pitney The Lovin Spoonful Look I have nothing against these artists, it's just they didn't changed anything related to the whole development of rock & roll as an legitimate art form while their work has rarely been less remembered by experts & historians! | |

The love of the countryside, hanging with mates at the pub, and of course love of Mother England. They embraced Mod Rock and temporarily revived the style that was once faded away since then. The first throwback kind of band you know? Out of all the English punk bands that came out, they were not an American hit. But in England they were superstars. The Rock Hall has recognized acts that may have not been hit makers here in the U.S., but are still incredibly influential. A real kick in the balls that these glorious band still isn't in. Coming Up! Say hi to Dave! | |

| Plebeian, Good to see your 12 days back for another year. Quick comments on what you've presented so far. You started off with some real dark horses. Silver Apples and Johnny Ace seem highly unlikely to ever get a nom, let alone an induction. I do see a possibility that the Specials are considered for an Early Influence spot, but otherwise their chances are pretty low too. Oasis is a lock for eventual induction, possibly as soon as this year. They've been discussed plenty on these boards and I'm in agreement with most people that they should find their way back onto the ballot this year. Personally, I've always thought they were a bit overrated, but I can't deny their popularity and impact. My 17-year-old son asked me just last week if I'd ever heard of a song called "Wonderwall" and said he thought it was pretty good. TLC absolutely belongs in the Hall and I'm a little surprised they don't get more play in these forums. They are an elite level girl group that completely altered how women could be perceived in hip hop and R&B. Now that Mary J. is in, it won't be long before they pop up among the nominees. EBAR is a tricky one because I don't know how many people outside of hip hop really know that much about them. Their influence and talent is undeniable and the nominating committee clearly has them as a priority, but they may unfortunately have to be side-doored to gain induction. I agree with everything you said about Linkin Park, yet somehow I don't see them getting their shot in the near future. Not sure why I think that, but it just feels like they are going to have to wait a bit to get their due. It will come though and once they are nominated I think they'll get in. I'd be happy to be completely wrong about this one. | |
