About Bruce Cockburn, Naomi Thiers wrote:
  Without a doubt BC should be in the RRHoF! Fabulous guitar player & songwriter (& performer, activist, collaborator, etc ..) and super influential. His music is loved intensely by many. He's one of my 2 "musical North Stars", personally (Laura Nyro the other). SO underappreciated!

About The Average White Band, don wrote:
  AWB brought a unique funk and soul sound to the era. Their number one single was an instrumental but they became known for their soulful vocals. The are still performing and have stood the test of time. Sampled dozens of times by contemporary hip hop artist they have left a mark. Definitely belong in the Hall.

About Loverboy, Mackey wrote:
  Why isn't Thin Lizzy in the Rock n Roll hall of fame? Every damn classic rock stations around the USA plays their biggest hits. There are commercials ads that use their music. One of the first bands that featured twin lead guitars. Great song writing and an extensive discography. What the heck is wrong with the RNR Hall of Fame. Missy Elliot? C'mon! That's not rock. That's rap!!! Shame on you guys. Thin Lizzy is one of my favorite bands and you're doing them a great injustice.

About Melanie, Kelly wrote:
  I've loved Melanie's music since I was a snotty little kid. She was so much more than Brand New Key. From I Don't Eat Animals, to Bobo's Party to Candles In The Rain she was a wonderful unique talent that really spoke to my heart. I wish I could have seen her again before she died, that was quite a shock. But to know that she was still delighting people with her meaningful beautiful music is a comfort. If there is a heaven Melanie is right there singing to the animals. She will be remembered forever, and I hope someday the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame will do the right thing and induct that sweet soul.

About the 2024 Inductees, Agree wrote:
  The Replacements not being inducted is a bad joke. Now that they have inducted the likes of Foreigner, Journey, Chicago, Bon Jovi, Moody Blues, Stevie Nicks, Ozzy, Pat Benatar, DMB, Rush, Deep Purple, Jeff Beck, etc

Jeff Beck probably should have been inducted as The Jeff Beck Group.
Deep Purple was fine, but they should have stopped with the Mark 1/2 members.
Rush could have been inducted in a new "Really Nice People" category, I ask you, stop 20 random people on the street and ask them to name a Rush song.
Ozzy was inducted with Sabbath, that was more then enough. Also Randy was inducted. So no need for a solo induction.
Stevie Nicks is without any doubt, the single worst inductee ever. FM was far more then enough, for her.
Bon Jovi is a tough one, as Jon is a really a good guy. Perhaps a new category, Most Good Work in the name of the genre, outside of performing. Jon (solo) would be a good first choice.
The people I have not commented on, are just so bad, and makes this whole thing hard to take seriously.
Truthfully, 150 or so acts, deserve to be in the place, at best. Then maybe add 2 or 3 a year.

  Just came across a new Mariah Carey interview from LA Times. She addressed the RRHOF for the first time here.

Interviewer: Another accolade was your nomination this year for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I wondered if you had thoughts on that.
Mariah: My thoughts are: I didn't get in.

Interviewer: I was trying to be delicate.
Mariah: Everybody was calling me going, "I think you're getting in!" and so I was excited about it. But then it didn't happen. My lawyer [Allen Grubman] got into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame before me.

Robert Fripp (If King Crimson never gets the chance to considered)

Gary Moore

Lenny Kaye

  Who are some people who would make good picks for Musical Excellence?

I say:

- Ashford & Simpson
- Burt Bacharach & Hal David (The Hall should have inducted them YEARS ago when they were both still alive and did nothing)
- Carol Kaye (Induct her before its too late; she turns 90 next year)
- David Sanborn
- Giorgio Moroder
- Malcolm McLaren (A good way to reintroduce punk back into the Rock Hall)
- Mick Ronson
- Nicky Hopkins

Like I'm astonished the Rock Hall hasn't inducted someone like Nicky Hopkins yet. This is a guy who performed with the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, the Who, the Beatles, the Steve Miller Band, Jefferson Airplane, Rod Stewart, The Hollies, Cat Stevens, Carly Simon, Harry Nilsson, Joe Walsh, Peter Frampton, Jerry Garcia, Jeff Beck, Joe Cocker, Art Garfunkel, Badfinger, Graham Parker, Gary Moore, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and Donovan.

  ChrisD,

that pre psych era of rock I do not believe is down for the count. Even just through side categories we saw Link Wray and Dionne Warwick go in the past 2 years. getting Big Mama Thornton in is i think a huge win showing that the early rockers are still in consideration.

  Power,

thats another possibilty with De La Soul

Both DLS and EBAR are NYers with boom bap production, and decent commercial success but MONSTER critical acclaim. Between those 2 acts on a ballot itd just come down to who the voters prefer, or both get in or neither. obviously both are really different as well.

If id guess i put EBAR going in ahead of DLS on account of debuting earlier and facing 2 previous noms

  Building off what Alec said, i beleive Winwood's 2003 nom was intended to cover his journey man status, having been in SDG, traffic, blind faith, Go, Baker's air force, playing with other people and then going solo. But then he faltered and Traffic got in first try 2004, they gave up on Winwood solo.

Sting solo 2015 is still weird to me.

About Lonnie Mack, Rex Tee wrote:
  It is shameful that Lonnie Mack was not inducted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame while he ws alive. It is nothing short of scandalous that eight years after his death, he remains unrecognized and not even under consideration.

I'm at a loss to understand how Depeche Mode and Roxy Music, to cite two examples of absurdity, have already been inducted, yet Lonnie Mack, whose influence is universal and incalculable, has not been.

In some ways it doesn't matter. Lonnie's legacy will be heard any time a guitar player takes a solo, long after the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a thing of the past.
