  Ritchie,

Mariah Carey 200% is returning and going straight in next year. Her snub isn't at the level Mat R predicted but there's a lot of discussion on how she failed to get in. That's not gonna happen again, it'll be another Radiohead situation

  Mike Pinder of The Moody Blues has died. They made arguably the first progressive rock album, so a tribute to him would be too long.

So far Mike Pinder, Dickey Betts, Denny Lane and Henry Farmborough have died since the ceremony, a very small amount compared to previous years. This class is probably too big for a tribute performance.

  Question

Do we think Billy Corgan making his wrestling career mainstream will help or harm the Smashing Pumpkins' chance?

He's had a number of controversies with NWA but it's also made him seem more normal. He also has kind of made it as big a part of his brand as the Pumpkins.

This new show seems to spotlight both the Pumpkins and NWA also it's on The CW so it's gonna be super accessible.

About the 2024 Inductees, Timothy Pernell wrote:
  Now I have had more time to think of who I believe will be nominated for 2025, I think I've come up with a decent list of returning nominees and newer acts:

Returning:
Beck - I don't know how good his chances are but I'm confident they'll nominate him again. It'll still be a test to see if he could actually get in despite the respect he's gotten over the years.
Devo - if they don't nominate Joy Division/New Order, they'd pick these guys again for the main class.
Lenny Kravitz - I'm not as confident as I was earlier that he'd return but him returning wouldn't surprise me.
Cyndi Lauper - this will be her second nomination and she could easily get in this time as opposed to last.
New York Dolls - I think Todd Rundgren's induction as well as the inductions of T. Rex and Roxy Music puts them in good standing for another chance at the hilt.
Sinead O'Connor - I think the reason voters didn't choose her because they agree that her nomination was "too soon". I see her returning in 2025 and she'll likely get in this time (or not).
Soundgarden - I think it's time to put Jane's Addiction aside unless they wanna do to them what they did to MC5 for years!
Thin Lizzy - the only other 70s rock act I see that they could try to bring back.
Warren Zevon - I can see a return for him. It will still be a challenge if he could get in or not but it's worth a shot.

New:
Phil Collins - after Ozzy's induction, he's the next one to get a dual induction. I think it's almost guaranteed he'll get nominated for 2025. Especially before he passes.
Luther Vandross - I think the Hall is gonna start nominating more 1980s R&B acts than 1970s R&B acts. Meaning War is gonna have to wait, meaning the Ohio Players are gonna have to wait (or not at all). And I think this will be THE 1980s R&B nominee of next year's class. He could be a first ballot inductee but it depends on how many voters are familiar with him. Dionne's induction definitely helps his chances as well as the inductions of his bigger 1980s pop-R&B peers (Whitney, George Michael).
OutKast - the induction of A Tribe Called Quest definitely opens the door for the duo of Andre 3000 and Big Boi to finally get their long awaited nomination/induction.
Alice in Chains - as much as Soundgarden deserves induction, AIC could actually give them a run with their nomination.
Tracy Chapman - She had a big boost in recent years via the revival of Fast Car. This could interest the Hall to nominate her.
Melissa Etheridge - I don't know if they really consider her but after Sheryl Crow, she seems to be the next female rock nominee coming.

----
I may be way off but these are my picks.

Those still in play for a possible return/new nod:
Mariah Carey (I think if the field doesn't have more than 2 R&B nominees, she's in there whatever year she returns, next year or even much later)
Diana Ross (like Ozzy, she has a chance to be a dual inductee and she could follow Tina Turner, Carole King and Stevie Nicks as the fourth dual female inductee, depends on how they view her in the rock era)
Lenny Kravitz (not too confident but he's not out of the woods yet)
White Stripes (this is a case of might be or might not but never say never)
Bangles (they were the only other top 80s female rock band after the Go-Gos, I want a nod but I don't know if they'll get it)
Runaways (I don't know why I'm not as confident of their chances as I was of Joan Jett's years ago but they could get a nod, would NOT surprise me. Would be well-earned too).

My picks for side door inductions:

Musical Excellence picks:
Ashford & Simpson
Burt Bacharach and Hal David
The Wailers (Bob Marley's group/band)
The Sweet Inspirations (the backing vocalists formed by Whitney Houston's mother Cissy and who sang background for RRHOF inductees such as Elvis, Aretha and Dionne)

Musical/early influence:
Roy Brown (the originator behind "Good Rockin' Tonight" and whose sound predated Little Richard and Elvis)
Marvelettes (the Motown group to help bring the label's early success, they were nominated for the main class twice so I can see them getting in through this class)
Clara Ward (how many years has it been since a gospel act got in? 2018? Clara could definitely be the next one. Without her, you really don't have Aretha)

Ahmet Ertegun:
Florence Greenburg (Scepter Records founder, without which, New Jersey greats such as Dionne Warwick and the Shirelles wouldn't have been in)
Sylvia Moy (Motown songwriter behind Stevie Wonder's cherished 1960s Motown hits)
Ed Sullivan
----
Still early but I had to get my thoughts together. I was too happy when I made my initial list that I didn't really think straight lmao

Scorpions already have a permanent exhibit in the Rock Hall's museum so

  Power,

I think thin Lizzy would do amazing with rock voters on a second shot. Although despite Phil Lynott being black, I think the majority of black voters would ignore them. The alliance of black voters seems to only extend to pop/RNB/funk/soul/rap and not rock. DMB had zero votes from black voters despite many black members.

2020 had Lizzy competing with Doobie Brothers T Rex Motörhead Soundgarden Judas Priest MC5 Pat Benatar Todd Rundgren and even NIN Depeche Mode amongst rock voters.

A ballot with only Thin Lizzy on it, or them alongside like king crimson, Thin Lizzy would soar in, a garunteed induction. Very beloved influencial acclaimed band.

  Thin Lizzy might have a better chance than Motorhead and Maiden because they have two hit classic rock singles. If placed on the right ballot (where they are the only or one of two classic rock nominees, with only 1-2 classic rock acts and the rest being alternative rock nominees), they could become the inevitable choice for white boomers, allowing them to sneak in. The question is, can Tom Morello help Thin Lizzy get nominated again, considering Thin Lizzy's popularity is definitely weaker than that of Maiden and other classic rock acts?

  The induction of the Dave Matthews Band makes me wonder if Iron Maiden will be voted in next time. Both acts are similar: big album sellers with almost no pop hit singles, and both have huge cult fan groups. Iron Maiden will have a big tour this year, which could help their chances. Some industry voters might consider voting for them since Maiden is expected to generate substantial revenue. However, one disadvantage for Maiden is that metal is still not favored by the Hall (Ozzy was inducted mainly due to his star power), whereas DMB, with its roots music influence, might be more acceptable to voters.

  Alec Tessitore,

I don't think there are any nomination limits before being selected for musical excellence now. Jimmy Buffett completely disrupted the whole system. So now, if the Rock Hall feels it necessary, anyone can be directly chosen for musical excellence, regardless of whether they were previously not nominated, or nominated once, twice, three times, or five times.

Actually I feel like Maiden will get its 3rd nomination in 2025 and they will get the Musical Excellence route

However good chance also Ronnie James Dio is headed towards the Muscial Excellence route soon

Also, I feel Warren Zevon and John Prine will be inducted in musical excellence in the future as well, similar to Jimmy Buffett.

  This is pretty much my only predictions on next year's nominations so far.

Nominees

Beck - A singer songwriter still active & expect him back by next year.

Mariah Carey - A second nomination would be different for the singer.

Coldplay - A possible FYN inductee plus a headliner for the 40th anniversary.

Daft Punk - Electronic music pick would end up being Kraftwerk as side category honorees.

Melissa Etheridge - Next year's Sheryl Crow.

Iron Maiden - A third time's a charm for them & more metal to be represented.

Joy Division/New Order - Lack of post punk/new wave this year would be the speculation for their comeback.

Lenny Kravitz - Way too well - known to not make a return.

Cyndi Lauper - Cher's induction would be the turning point for Lauper.

OutKast - Tribe is now in so let focus on this duo for the honor.

The Replacements - A band being left out of ballots for 10 years would make an reentrance on the list.

Diana Ross - Would become the 4th woman to receive the "double induction" award.

Soundgarden - May become the new Rage Against the Machine with few more tries or third times a charm.

Snoop Dogg - Will receive an nomination yet would get passed over for OutKast.

Thin Lizzy - A dual classic/hard rock rock pick for the old audience.

War - Following the Spinners & Kool & The Gang as the next classic R&B act to get fully recognized.

  I havent really done this before but I wanted to try and predict who will make the ballot next year (even thought its still so early but we all doing it lmaoo). But Im not good at keeping track of patterns beyond the acts that im more familiar with so instead, I'll make a perfect ballot.

Potential Nominees for Class of 2025

Iron Maiden
Mariah Carey
Soundgarden
Coldplay
Luther Vandross
Outkast
Garth Brooks
Joy Division/New Order
Phil Collins
Smashing Pumpkins
The White Stripes
Fela Kuti
Beck
New York Dolls

I wanted to include far more rnb/pop artists like Patti LaBelle, Boyz II Men and Diana Ross but I feel like those slots were already full with Mariah and Luther and it always helps for induction if the field isnt too crowded for acts in those genres.

About Mary J. Blige, Purple Velvet wrote:
  @Bill G

None of those artists are more influential than Mary is in music. She changed the sound and image of R&B forever with her debut album. Their careers also aren't better than Mary's. She sold more albums, has more hit songs, and Grammy's than all of them. Instead of attacking Mary, maybe hold the RRHOF accountable for not inducting those artists years ago, and inducting rappers in their first week year of eligibility. Mary has been eligible for 7 years, and is finally inducted.

  Chaz Palminteri was recently on Sirius radio choked up over the fact that Johnny Maestro is not in the HOF. Any music fan of the 60's knows that Maestro was in the top five of the great voices of that period. There must be total malfunctioning in the selection committee to overlook this talent.
