    Alice in Chains and Smashing Pumpkins are going to be shoe-in now, they benefit most from must-vote-for-7

    Unless ballot filled with boomer acts like 24-25, older white rock voters have to vote them because they have to vote someone

    But will commitee member will reject them again to push their Black Crowes, Melissa Etheridge...

    About the 2026 Inductees, Casper wrote:
    Pumpkins have found a lot of new fans in Gen Z/Gen Alpha who have also flown obscure cuts to the top of the most-played on Pumpkin's streaming numbers ("Luna", "The Boy", "Cupid De Locke", "Pennies", etc.). The band effectively has "new" hits that weren't considered pillars of their catalog even five years ago.

    About the 2026 Inductees, Casper wrote:
    Just going to remind everyone that a few years ago The Simpsons had a main plotline about Lisa discovering her own Smiths/Morrissey and the finding out that the latter isn't what he should be. The Smiths are hardly some niche anymore.

    Smashing Pumpkins just announced a North American Arena Tour "celebrating" Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness. It will be two unique sets a night (presumably with a break in between) but it will probably closely resemble their 30th Anniversary Tour from back in 2018, just with more deep cuts from the Mellon Collie album and a few other deep cuts that weren't played on that run. It will certainly get people to open their wallets, and, one again, put them on the Hall's radar.
