    Diana and Beyonce and Boston would be the three locks. I think Daft Punk is unique enough that they'd cut into a Top 7 or Top 8 as well. I could see the others missing for various reasons whereas basically any of them not named Mariah automatically gets in on a regular, less competitive ballot.

    Omar, that basically would be the most conceivable competitive ballot. I think the Latin Females would just water it down though. They're not quite electable (yet).

    It takes a lot to admit your favorite acts don't deserve induction, or that genres besides your tastes do, or acts you don't like actually do deserve induction because of objective measures. If you do you have the right mindset to be a committee member and voter

    Prefab Sprout for example are a great group with some great albums. However they did not have a HOF career and if they didn't exist not enough would change in music that they are a vital group.

    Wilco is interesting because if this was 15 years ago they would be locks, but it feels they fell off the critical and longterm notability and influence docket. It would be a difficult case but kind of shows you have to be in the right moment to get one or just be consistently longterm notable

    Omar,


    As you stated, Nina Simone had gospel and R&B ties, but more importantly she was a pivotal figure in the civil rights movement. "Mississippi Goddam" and "Young, Gifted and Black" are landmarks in the movement. That is why she was inducted, along with her prodigious talent.
