I always considered Oasis alt rock too. I get the Beatles revivalist comparisons - and they were why they were attacked by some in the American media, but if one took a full listen to their works, it's much deeper than that. | |

IMO Oasis aren't alt rock. They're like Lenny Sheryl and the Black Crowes, retro revivalists. Janes and Sinead are the only alt rock representing acts | |

Elle Dee, I see Oasis being the most likely one that represents the alt-rock genre this year in the 2024 class, not Sinead. What do you think?. | |

alec tess And then there's Sinéad. She's an Irish alt-rocker with more hits in the UK and elsewhere than in the US. I see the likes of Eurythmics, Peter Gabriel, etc. voting for her. Really, there are three alternative acts on the ballot (Oasis, Sinéad, Jane's Addiction). Only one of them will represent the alt-rock genre in the 2024 class. | |

I read somewhere the British Indie/Alternate acts like The Cure who voted were the ones that pushed Kate Bush over the line And with Oasis as the only British Alternative act on the ballot I think those guys at least most of them will all line up to vote for Oasis Plus a while back Noel Gallagher did some stuff with The Cure https://www.stereogum.com/2216261/the-cures-robert-smith-remixes-noel-gallaghers-high-flying-birds/music/ https://britpopnews.com/oasis-the-cure-members-release-new-recording/ | |

Alec, I kinda feel that way too: that rock and R&B would clear the way for Sunday's announcement. Your list looks an awful lot like one of mine's a while back (no idea if I changed it yesterday. Hard to check due to the weird banter above between Richie and "Poseidon". The fact that only a few of these artists have a clear path is astounding since it's supposed to be a "boring" list, but this anticipation is heating up. Can't wait until the reveal on "Idol", whatever happens... if Troy L Smith gets upset over the inductee class before the announcement, I know something will be up lol | |

That's one of the reasons for me as well, will. I work for a living and don't have time for wading through it all. As a clarification, even if the R sound is supposed to be there in the band name, it still wouldn't raise them one iota in the Personal Tastes ranks for everything else I said. I didn't like their music before hearing the Yoruba pronunciation, and I really don't hate the music any more fiercely either. They still bore me, and it's just an opinion: it's neither right nor wrong. That was really just the plastic figurine on top of the cake of my dislike. | |

GuestG, To clarify, no I didn't use the pronunciation as an actual criterion against Sade. I filed that under personal taste. I have seriously never heard it pronounced "SHAR-day" until the nomination, nor have ever seen it spelled "Sarde." I filed that under the Personal Tastes metric, which is independent of the I-5. If you're a new reader, in the past, I've done two separate entries for the attemptedly objective merits (the I-5, as I call it) and the subjective personal taste. This year, for time's sake, I combined the two blog posts, but listed them separately. As far as being turned off by it, again, this is the subjective measurements list, and bad memories of an artist's music and negative associative instances are all fair game to include, because all those things can and do affect a person's ability to enjoy the music. Duran Duran suffered from this on my Personal Tastes list, because there were certain songs of theirs that in my younger days, coworkers that I couldn't escape while working would sing along with those songs and would be loud, off-key, and constantly change the lyrics to juvenile ones about mammaries and marijuana, which hinders my ability to enjoy those songs out in the wild now. It may not seem fair, but it wasn't fair that I had to put up with it day in, day out either. I'm also sure Enigmaticus is upset with my personal tastes Rank of Sade, if he's still floating around somewhere. | |

I don't think this has been mentioned here yet, Ozzy is the SOLE metal act on the ballot. in previous years where priest against motorhead Soundgarden, and rage against Soundgarden maiden, and maiden against rage and MC5, this all split votes amongst the metal contingent. if a voter wants a balanced ballot, and wants to include one metal act, they had to choose one and this strategy would have split voters. seeing Ozzy as the ONLY metal act, will mean he has a big advantage over maiden motorhead soundgarden previously. I now think Ozzy foreigner Kool and Tribe are Locks. reposting my predictions cause they haven't changed much but I do have something to add... Final prediction‼️‼️ LOCKS: Ozzy Foreigner Mariah Tribe Kool Could be wrong on: Lenny Cher DMB (if 8) Mary J (if 9) AME: Gram Parsons, Jim Keltner, Wailers (potential for more backing bands like wings mothers and belmonts) Maybe Frampton David Lindley EI: MC5, Big Mama Thornton, Procul Harum Maybe Screamin Jay, Eric B and Rakim Ahmet: Whitfield/Strong, Wolfman Jack, Ed Sullivan Maybe Walter Yetnikoff, Dr Dre I get 3 points for each correct lock, and 2 points for each correct maybe, in any category And 1 point if Frampton/EBAR make it main, 2 points if they make it in side category I took out Sinead from my maybes, moved Cher up, and made DMB my #8. it would be very embarrassing if they win fan vote TWice and don't go in. i could see them finishing near last but the committee appending them to a list of top 7/8 just to save face. and i'd be perfectly fine with that btw, I don't believe in any Ritchie type conspiracy that they're replacing Cyndi lauper and everyone hates them and punishes them or whatever that bs was also just remembered that Jane's are kinda metal but I don't think every voter thinks it, in my mind theyre viewed like pumpkins and Weezer are, as 90s alt rock amalgam. I don't see it for Janes this year. they'd need like a 2011 style ballot thats how tom waits got in (I LOVE TOM WAits btw) as for Sade, yea this is definitly not a ballot for them. IMO they're a completely different lane from MAry J Mariah or Kool. but voters will likely lean towards all those acts more. I could see like Donald fagen and Bryan Ferry voting them tho Oasis have the disadvantage of being British and in America being seen as a one hit wonder. Blur will have an even worse shot. if the hall was British they would've been the only act inducted in 2019. their massive stature, well regard, just monstrous success and to my genuine surprise, huge influence on British music still today, they should be first ballot. but the gallghers don't help themselves by calling it a load of bollocks, and any reunion potential is a pipedream. Andy bell double inductee when? (I don't think john Sykes even knows Ride exist) Sinead I just think will slip through the cracks this year. we haven't debated her merits at all, but the recency of death and the vulturesque nature of this nomination will absolutely turn some off in way or another. and Eric clapton isn't voting for her considering he asked Ozzy to remove a lyric about being proud to go to hell (or something like that). I was 100% rooting her tho. after multiple ballots, I think she goes in second shot rather than third | |
