Uncovering the Next Generation's Hall of Fame
Future Rock Legends predicts the 2014
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominating Committee will meet in early September to determine the nominees for the 2014 induction ceremony.
Future Rock Legends predicts the following fifteen eligible artists will be on the 2014 ballot:
Artists who have recently been nominated...
-
Chic - Chic has obviously been kicking around the Rock Hall ballot for years now (nominated seven times), but there has never been the kind of momentum surrounding their candidacy like there has been this year. Thanks in large part to his collaboration with Daft Punk, Nile Rodgers is having a career resurgence and is being exposed to a new generation of fans. Just last year, Chic came in dead last in the Rock Hall's fan poll for the 2013 induction, pulling in just 1% of the vote. That seems destined to change this year now that Rodgers is being recognized as one of the all time hitmakers.
Current Induction Chances: 48% - The Paul Butterfield Blues Band - Last year, we successfully predicted their return to the ballot after a lengthy absence because Jann Wenner and Paul Shaffer discussed in an interview they were pulling for them.
Current Induction Chances: 41% - Procol Harum - Speaking of personal crusades, Steven Van Zandt seems to have adopted Procol Harum as his next Rock Hall project for induction. Little Steven usually gets what he wants.
Current Induction Chances: 47% - The Spinners - Metallica's manager, Cliff Burnstein, has only been on the Rock Hall's Nominating Committee for a couple of years, but he has emerged as one of its most influential members. During his short tenure, long time Rock Hall snubs Rush (Burnstein used to manage them), Deep Purple (Metallica has been outspoken about getting them in) and The Spinners (apparently a personal favorite) have all made the ballot for the first time.
Current Induction Chances: 44%
- Deep Purple - Deep Purple were fan favorites in the polls last year, second only to Rush. The Rock Hall has been slightly more populist recently, so Deep Purple should get another opportunity.
Current Induction Chances: 57% - N.W.A - N.W.A picked up a nomination in their first eligible year in 2013 and shouldn't have to wait too much longer before getting inducted.
Current Induction Chances: 60% - Kraftwerk - Kraftwerk came in sixth place in the Rock Hall's official fan poll last year. That shows that the massive influence of the band is not entirely lost on the public.
Current Induction Chances: 60% - Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - Joan Jett has a new album coming out this fall which includes a collaboration with Dave Grohl. How convenient.
Current Induction Chances: 50% - Bon Jovi - Do you remember the 12-12-12 Concert for Sandy Relief last year? Remember when Bruce Springsteen brought out Jon Bon Jovi during "Born to Run"? And then Bruce returned during Bon Jovi's set for "Who Says You Can't Go Home"? Maybe we're crazy, but it felt like Bon Jovi was officially welcomed into Bruce's circle that night. All of the recent drama this summer with Richie Sambora isn't helping Bon Jovi's candidacy, but maybe a Rock Hall nomination will bring them all back together.
Current Induction Chances: 49% - Joe Tex - We have noted this before, but Nominating Committe member Dave Marsh wrote the bio for Joe Tex at allmusic.com. ("His raspy-voiced, jackleg preacher style also laid some of the most important parts of rap's foundation. He is, arguably, the most underrated of all the '60s soul performers associated with Atlantic Records...") Tex was previously nominated in 1998, 2006, 2007 and 2011.
Current Induction Chances: 34%
- Nirvana - They are #30 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time list and the only artist in the top 50 that isn't already in the Hall of Fame. The only thing that could keep them from being inducted is if the Rock Hall doesn't consider them being eligible yet ("Love Buzz" was released as a single in 1988, but their first album, Bleach, came out in 1989. Technically they should be eligible this year, but the Rock Hall does weird stuff sometimes.)
Current Induction Chances: 86% - De La Soul - Tour is the most vocal of the hip hop advocates on the Nominating Committee and he has expressed a passion for De La Soul in the past. If they do make the ballot, they will be extreme long shots for induction this year.
Current Induction Chances: 59% - Stevie Ray Vaughan - At the 2013 Induction Ceremony, John Mayer spoke about how Stevie Ray Vaughan was his gateway to learning about older blues greats like Freddie King. After four years without even a nomination, it's finally time to get Vaughan in the Hall of Fame with the other blues legends.
Current Induction Chances: 52% - Linda Ronstadt - This year, Don Henley called it "travesty" that Ronstadt hadn't been inducted yet.
Current Induction Chances: 56% - Yes - Yes has been one of the bands the prog/metal subcommittee has been evaluating for years now. With Rush getting inducted this year, there should be one fewer obstacle in the way of Yes finally getting a nomination.
Current Induction Chances: 50%

Future Rock Legends forecasts which of today's artists will be the next generation's Rock & Roll Hall of Famers by using a combination of historically predictive criteria, user votes, and nomination patterns. The official nominees are determined by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation's 35-member Nominating Committee.
Artists are eligible for the Rock
Hall 25 years after releasing their first record (anyone
with a record released up through 1988). Future Rock Legends lists eligible artists by first year of eligiblity or alphabetically.

My Predictions: The 15 Nominees for the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Posted by Roy on Friday, 07/26/2013 @ 06:14am |
I must admit that you have an interesting list Roy. Of course the idea of pitting Yes against Deep Purple could prove quite interesting. Stevie Ray Vaughan is a wildcard; he could show up on the list easily. When I came up with my list, I had taken into account and had considered the media presence of each of those groups: Posted by Enigmaticus on Friday, 07/26/2013 @ 10:12am |
My early list is more a prediction list than a personal wish list (in no particular order): Posted by Paul in KY on Friday, 07/26/2013 @ 12:38pm |
The O'Jays are already in! Posted by Roy on Friday, 07/26/2013 @ 15:23pm |
Rod Argent's little love letter to the Hall recently could set the Zombies up for nomination too. They put both Donovan and (Small) Faces on the 2012 ballot, they probably wouldn't hesitate to put both Procol Harum and the Zombies together too. Posted by Philip on Friday, 07/26/2013 @ 17:36pm |
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKuyTciWUXM Posted by Bill G. on Friday, 07/26/2013 @ 17:44pm |
Philip-I had the Zombies pegged in my predictions last year, and I think the year before. After the Argent letter, I think I'll keep sticking with them until it happens. Posted by DarinRG on Friday, 07/26/2013 @ 20:31pm |
Most of these lists so far are solid and reasonable, but a couple are way too narrow and self absorbed to be taken seriously (and it's been explained to the parties in question multiple times why their predictions cant be taken seriously). Posted by DarinRG on Friday, 07/26/2013 @ 20:47pm |
I am truly sorry, I had meant to say: Posted by Enigmaticus on Saturday, 07/27/2013 @ 11:29am |
Oh what the heck, let's add Stevie Ray Vaughan to the inductee list as a "posthumous" induction for another blues great. Posted by Enigmaticus on Saturday, 07/27/2013 @ 11:45am |
Glad O'Jays are already in. Thanks, Roy. Posted by Paul in KY on Monday, 07/29/2013 @ 07:40am |
Enigmaticus, on the subject of Duran Duran. I am not agin them getting in, yet I wonder if they have the 'sustained greatness' the Hall loves. Posted by Paul in KY on Tuesday, 07/30/2013 @ 14:36pm |
I think "A View to a Kill" is another song that has to be mentioned in any discussion of Duran Duran's best songs! Posted by Rick Vendl II on Tuesday, 07/30/2013 @ 19:33pm |
Paul - Love your breakdown of the situation. I might argue for some of Garbage's early works as being close to top flight Duran Duran. Posted by Cheesecrop on Wednesday, 07/31/2013 @ 06:43am |
Rick, Cheesecrop, 'A View to a Kill' is among their best I agree. Forgot that song. It was released in 1986, so I think it would still fall in Duran Duran's early period. Posted by Paul in KY on Wednesday, 07/31/2013 @ 08:14am |
That is interesting, Cheese. I remember reading a similar story in EW, I believe, about the Oscars. Supposedly elligible Oscar voters recieve a DVD of the films in whatever category they are voting in. I remember being disappointed to read that many of the Oscar voters freely admitted that they "didn't have time" to actually watch all of the films that they were supposedly judging for the Oscar. So for many Oscar voters, it just came down to familiar names and reputation, vs. the actual works they were supposed to be judging that year. Posted by Dezmond on Thursday, 08/1/2013 @ 05:24am |
And there you have the answer to why the Oscars have stagnated, lo' these many yrs. :) Posted by Cheesecrop on Thursday, 08/1/2013 @ 06:01am |

My predictions for the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees: Posted by John R.C. on Thursday, 08/1/2013 @ 23:59pm |
I'm up for the challenge. I was told by an economist that you cannot predict the rise and fall of the stock market; much to his dismay, I had predicted that to within one day; it had saved me thousands of dollars. Posted by Enigmaticus on Friday, 08/2/2013 @ 15:47pm |
The past several years, the Rock Hall has been criticized for not inducting many progressive rock, nor 1980's acts; personally, I cannot think of a 1980's act, more induction worthy than Duran Duran. Can you? Posted by Cheesecrop on Friday, 08/2/2013 @ 16:03pm |
Does anybody know if 15 nominees are the cutoff, or could there be as many as 21? Posted by Enigmaticus on Friday, 08/2/2013 @ 21:35pm |
Of course, I was joking. The idea of nominating 9 progressive rock acts at the same time would be completely absurd. Posted by Enigmaticus on Friday, 08/2/2013 @ 21:53pm |
Artists who have been mentioned on the Rock Hall's website this year: Posted by Roy on Friday, 08/2/2013 @ 23:15pm |
If Kraftwerk don't get another nomination imma be mad dissapointed. Posted by GFW on Saturday, 08/3/2013 @ 12:58pm |
It is August. Thus, it means the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominating Committee are in the business of considering whom to at first nominate and then induct for their Class of 2014. In addition, it seems most likely the NomCom have been perusing this website to consider future inductees. To note, all 2013 Rock Hall inductees were honored by the Revisited/Projected Rock Hall Project beofre their induction outside of the website. Posted by Lax30 on Sunday, 08/4/2013 @ 21:41pm |
Rolling Stone gave all of Foreigner's albums between 4 and 5 stars. Posted by Roy on Sunday, 08/4/2013 @ 22:42pm |
Rolling Stone also only had one Foreigner song their 500 greatest songs list (I Want to Know What Love Is) and none of their albums made it on to their 500 greatest albums list. They may have been highly praised in the past, but it hasn't lasted like it has for other artists like Bruce Spring, U2, etc. Posted by Ryan on Monday, 08/5/2013 @ 00:01am |
Ryan, because Foreigner is better than Journey. Posted by Paul in KY on Monday, 08/5/2013 @ 07:37am |

Here are my predictions for the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination process later this year-- Posted by Nick on Monday, 08/12/2013 @ 02:35am |
Excellent post and predictions, Nick. Please consider getting involved in some of our other projects around here. Posted by DarinRG on Monday, 08/12/2013 @ 02:51am |
Thanks DarinRG for your kind words. I am very interested to get involve with projects on the website. Leave me your contact info so we can work together. Posted by Nick on Monday, 08/12/2013 @ 03:18am |
Nick- You or anyone else around here are always free to contact me at darinrgailey@gmail.com . We have the monthly Song and Album Projects, we're in a protracted Song ranking project and about to do the last round of round of rankings for 70s eligible songs and will soon start the 80s. We also have our annual Super Bowl, our Hall of Fame vote coming up soon. (Usually the week that the RRHoF ballot is announced.) Posted by DarinRG on Monday, 08/12/2013 @ 04:13am |
It would be about a month before the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced its nominees for the 2014 Induction Ceremony. We all know the rockist people will really angry when an act from either the 70s or early 80s isn't on the ballot but a rap act is in the ballot and blame Jann Wenner for getting a non rock act nominated/inducted. When they complain, they are mostly wrong, and here are some of my viewpoints on why rockist are mostly wrong. Posted by John R.C. on Monday, 08/12/2013 @ 04:38am |
I disagree that rockism blends deeply into the 80s crowd. It seems to be more of a boomer, 70s mullet rocker phenomenon. Posted by DarinRG on Monday, 08/12/2013 @ 04:44am |
Actually, thinking on it, I retract my comment. The rockist element of the 80s is alive and well, I just try to pretend that that the worst of that decade didn't exist. Posted by DarinRG on Monday, 08/12/2013 @ 04:52am |

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame did a lot to foster goodwill among R&B fans with the inductions of The Miracles, The Famous Flames,and The Midnighters (along with the Comets, Crickets, and Blue Caps) in 2012. But, these artists' inductions were merely corrections of prior mistakes. They SHOULD have been inducted with their lead singers decades ago in the FIRST place...the Hall was simply correcting mistakes that THEY THEMSELVES made...and the credentials of these groups were so towering, that the protests would have gone on FOREVER if they HADN'T gotten inducted. Posted by Bill G. on Monday, 08/12/2013 @ 14:58pm |
It's not even the middle of August but I guess I'll throw in my list of what I believe will be the 15 nominees for the 2014 ceremony: Posted by Jason Voigt on Monday, 08/12/2013 @ 15:29pm |
Nick, excellent picks, a lot of those will probably be on my list when I eventually get around to it. Definitely a welcome addition here. Posted by Philip on Monday, 08/12/2013 @ 17:11pm |
I left out 'HUEY PIANO SMITH & THE CLOWNS' on my list accidentally. Those too, are another left field pick of mine. Next spring Huey will be 80, so why not a great birthday gift. But, knowing the Rock Hall, they probably forgot about him. Posted by Jason Voigt on Monday, 08/12/2013 @ 18:23pm |

I caught the interesting, if flawed, breakdown on early 70's R&B, & the argument that somehow, the Rock Hall had missed the boat on this time. The following is a small list of artists who either started in the early 70's, or had their biggest hits in the early-mid 70's, who are already in the Hall: Posted by Cheesecrop on Tuesday, 08/13/2013 @ 06:34am |
Cheese- I'll gladly let you be the resident rockist, but most of the bands that you mentioned aren't rockist. True rockists only support wanky prog bands and white guys with mullets playing vanilla hard rock. Posted by DarinRG on Tuesday, 08/13/2013 @ 09:17am |

My 15 Predictions for the 2014 RNRHOF Class Ballot Posted by Donnie on Monday, 08/19/2013 @ 11:42am |
A very good list indeed Donnie. I had 11 of the 15 potential nominees on my list compared to yours. I think one of the problems with this forum is that many people pick artists that catter to their musical tastes/preferences. The nominating acts in any given year are diverse (in terms of genre placement) and it would be a joke if the Rock Hall inducted only New Wave/1980s acts all in the same year. A lot of the predictions on this website are very narrow as well as it would be boring if all of the inducted artists came from either the same time period or genre. The Only Differences were that I had chosen The Cure, Kraftwerk, Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Procol Harum instead of Whitney Houston, Stevie Ray Vaughan, War and Yes [All of whom definitely have a shot to be nominated this year]. Again, very good list Donnie. Posted by Nick on Monday, 08/19/2013 @ 15:28pm |
My Top 5 2014 Inductees will be the Following: Posted by Otis Mack on Tuesday, 08/20/2013 @ 16:57pm |
The rock/not rock divide is interesting. There's people who screamed 'NAWT RAWK!, WHERE'S FOREIGNER?!' when Public Enemy is inducted. It reminds me of the stupid statistical divide with the Baseball Hall Of Fame: http://houston.sbnation.com/houston-astros/2011/12/28/2666970/steve-garvey-and-jeff-bagwell-comparisons-anyone Posted by Sam on Wednesday, 08/21/2013 @ 06:10am |
The prediction of nominations is never an easy task. Every year brings a bumper crop of new talent, a few committee favorites, a few surprises, and a whole truckload of complaints about who was overlooked. Few of us ever predict more than 5 correctly, and even then that is an impressive feat. So here is my stab at who we may see on the ballot this year. They are ordered in likelihood of nomination. Posted by Chris F. on Wednesday, 08/21/2013 @ 09:32am |
Nice analysis, Chris F, but The Chantels were never nominated in the 80s. They were nominated in 2002, and, recently, in 2010. Posted by Casper on Wednesday, 08/21/2013 @ 10:43am |

Stand by my assertion that Gram Parsons will never be inducted (in my lifetime & I'm 54). Posted by Paul in KY on Wednesday, 08/21/2013 @ 15:10pm |
1) Nirvana - Despite very good arguments, the only true lock I see this year for nomination are also the only guaranteed induction. Nirvana belongs, I think few would argue against it. What isn’t clear is how they will pave the way for the 90’s bands that follow. The Hall is still tackling the Rap style. Nirvana will skip over any Rap act this year, but their peers will have a harder time. Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden will all be pitted against the large names of Hip Hop that dominated the 90s. The Hall’s 5 inductions each year, and it’s fascination with the 60s, are going to make it much more difficult for any of the 90’s styles to be represented. Nirvana’s nomination will most likely come at the expense of the Pixies or Sonic Youth receiving credit this year, a true shame considering at least one of the two should have already been enshrined. Posted by Cheesecrop on Wednesday, 08/21/2013 @ 16:58pm |
Cheesecrop, Posted by Chris F. on Wednesday, 08/21/2013 @ 18:05pm |
""People forget that, in addition to working with Bacharach and David, Dionne has also worked with noted R&B writers and producers in her career, such as Luther Vandross, Isaac Hayes, Thom Bell, and Holland-Dozier-Holland . And...she had HITS with them ALL". Posted by Philip on Wednesday, 08/21/2013 @ 18:56pm |
I completely agree that the Hall needs to take a better look at how they represent the decades. For many reasons, most importantly because 80s & 90s acts are every bit as good as their predecessors. But it is always a little disheartening to see acts connected to the 60s jump over more deserving acts from any of the other decades (The 50s & 70s included). Most of the iffy inductions have actually been 60s acts. Posted by Cheesecrop on Thursday, 08/22/2013 @ 06:20am |

First off, thank you Nick for the kind remarks on your list. When I saw yours, I actually thought to myself "geez, I don't even need to make a prediction ballot, I could just use his." But when I started going through my list of eligible artists and started getting to the final 15, it kind of sorted it out, and most of my predictions did end up with yours.

Great choices Donnie, Posted by Enigmaticus on Thursday, 08/22/2013 @ 09:51am |

4. The Spinners Posted by Bill G. on Thursday, 08/22/2013 @ 18:51pm |
"12) Rufus featuring Chaka Khan - The next funk act in the hall will be either Rufus or War that is undeniable. But with Donna Summer and Ann Wilson now in the committee will be looking for another legendary female vocalists. That gives Rufus a slight edge because of Khan’s ability. Still someone like Linda Ronstadt or Patti Labelle could finally see at least nomination recognition this year in their place." Posted by Bill G. on Thursday, 08/22/2013 @ 19:09pm |
As far as Patti goes...I think that she has one of the ALL-TIME great Female Voices...rivaled by few, unmatched by none... Posted by Bill G. on Thursday, 08/22/2013 @ 19:15pm |
Oh...and Donnie: Thanks for not calling The Spinners a "band" . That term is being thrown around FAR too liberally here lately , and in the case of R&B vocal groups, it doesn't even APPLY. Posted by Bill G. on Thursday, 08/22/2013 @ 19:23pm |

I have complete sway over the Hall here? Alright. Personally, I'd prefer a Hall which was more musician based. There's a lot of acts left behind, plus a few obvious ones in the modern era, so let's go. Posted by Cheesecrop on Friday, 08/23/2013 @ 05:20am |

I am sorry, but I have just realized that I cannot pick just 7. Of course, I happen to like my original list more than the others. Once again, I had chosen the following acts: Posted by Enigmaticus on Friday, 08/23/2013 @ 09:17am |

Since I asked the question, I should give you mine. If I were in charge of the class of 2014, I would try to address my pet snubbed genre, prog, and era, the 80s. Posted by dezmond on Friday, 08/23/2013 @ 11:07am |
I meant Sonny Boy Williamson II Posted by dezmond on Friday, 08/23/2013 @ 11:11am |
Wow. So many acts to choose from and I know whatever the result there will be a contingent of people not only supremely disappointed but righteously angry. Unfortunate, but fact is not all can get in, some will have to wait, others will never get in who should and perhaps some will get in who maybe shouldn't. It's all so subjective. I have never taken too much issue with who does get in. I have had more issues with those who have gone unrecognized for too long. I am sure most of these will eventually get in though I have a concern for some who as time goes by will be forgotten but who have had such a profound influence without major sales. Last year it was Laura Nyro. I am convinced that had she not gone in last year she may never made it. Yet she composed so many great songs for others and set a template for people like Tori Amos and Suzanne Vega. Anyway, with malice towards none and charity for all here are my own meager suggestions for the 15 nominations. Although numbered they are in no particular order. The numbers are just helping me keep count at 12:30 AM not an indicator as one being more worthy of another. Posted by crash on Saturday, 08/24/2013 @ 00:32am |

We've been posting our nomination/induction predictions, but pretend that you have complete sway over the Hall's decision for 2014. In other words, with seven slots for induction, the Class of 2014 is completely up to you (following the actual eligibility rules, of course). Which seven would you induct and why? You might approach this as just listing your seven biggest snubs, or from a different perspective. I'll post mine soon. Posted by Cheesecrop on Sunday, 08/25/2013 @ 06:14am |

Mostly male and mostly mulleted. These 70s Prog/ Vanilla wish lists are nauseating. People need to start thinking outside their own record collections. Posted by DarinRG on Monday, 08/26/2013 @ 16:09pm |

Whoops, I forgot to mention Link Wray and the Ray Men and Dick Dale and the Del-Tones. Two completely inexcusable snubs, and among the worthiest acts as yet uninducted. Posted by Zach on Monday, 08/26/2013 @ 18:32pm |

I know what you mean, Jason and DarinRG. The voters will not pick around 6 70s prog/vanilla acts to the hall in a single year. My predictions on who I might think be inducted for the next three years Cheesecrop made has only one 70s prog/vanilla act. The ballot might look like this: Posted by John R.C. on Monday, 08/26/2013 @ 19:42pm |
Anybody got any good predictions about non-performers? Sorry, I just haven't taken the time to scroll thru all the comments.

"Bill G, I too would agree that the Soul Train era of soul/funk/R&B needs greater representation. The Spinners and War would be my picks, as well as the incomporable Don Cornelius. I'd also argue that the Hall needs more jump blues acts. As it stands, Louis Jordan, Big Joe Turner, and T-Bone Walker are the only representatives of this relentlessly exciting, never-boring genre in the Hall. The aforementioned Wynonie Harris and Roy Brown are the two other biggies that need to be honored. Posted by bill g on Monday, 08/26/2013 @ 23:36pm |

Since today is the 60th birthday of Alex Lifeson, co-founder (along with the late John Rutsey) and guitarist for Rush, I thought that it would be very appropriate to ask this question, "Will Rush's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame have any lasting impact, or will it return to the "business as usual" routine of induction, once again?" Posted by Enigmaticus on Tuesday, 08/27/2013 @ 09:27am |
Oh yes, one more thing. After looking at the nomination predictions for last year, I had just realized that the list had 3 actual inductees on it, ironically 3 of the same artists that I had chosen as inductees a few months earlier. Of course, 4/5 of the names that I had voted for on the fan's ballot were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame earlier this year (Randy Newman, Donna Summer, Heart and Rush). It's nice to see that my other choice for lad year, Procol Harum has returned to the ballot this year. Posted by Enigmaticus on Tuesday, 08/27/2013 @ 09:47am |

Dub pioneer Lee Scratch Perry, The Upsetter, the Phil Spector of Reggae, is the most influential person in pop music history not in the Rock Hall, and should be placed in the Musical Excellence category in 2014. Posted by The_Claw on Tuesday, 08/27/2013 @ 16:55pm |
It has been quite some time since I last posted on this page. In the interim, Future Rock Legends has posted their list of predicted nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2014. The artists listed therein are worthy of indyction; yet I do not believe all will be nominated. I am of the inference that Joan Jett will likely be inducted one day as a member of The Runaways, before being inducted on her own. For that, I could see The Runaways get nominated next month. Three artists listed as predicted nominees will, I believe, not be nominated at all. In short, these three have not yet been inducted into the Revisited/Projected Rock Hall Project: getting inducted by us posters is phase one of a probable induction. To be specific on these three: Posted by Lax30 on Tuesday, 08/27/2013 @ 20:59pm |

FRL's prediction list lacks the male singer-songwriter slot. There's no Gram Parsons or Warren Zevon or Cat Stevens or Nick Drake. We all know it would be incredibly unlikely for someone from that group to NOT be nominated. Posted by Casper on Wednesday, 08/28/2013 @ 02:50am |
Casper- I generally like the FRL picks, but I agree with you on the lack of the predictable Male Singer/Songwrier pick. The only name that I would add as a contender to that spot that wasn't on your list is Lou Reed. Posted by DarinRG on Wednesday, 08/28/2013 @ 05:06am |
You know, it is a bit disheartening to look to our recent past when discussing good pop rock. I took notice of MTV's 30th annual Video Music Awards; a ceremony which matters less and less these days. Of the people there, I can only name 4 other artists besides Nile Rodgers and Daft Punk that are worthy of either the Rock Hall and/or our Revisited/Projected project: Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake and Kendrick Lamarr. The rest are poseurs. Perhaps if MTV started showing Video Music again, the perception would change. Posted by Cheesecrop on Wednesday, 08/28/2013 @ 06:11am |

Had Ronstadt overdosed in 1982 you'd be canonizing her. Hall of Shame is a joke without her. She was doing it before Parsons and taught him a thing or two. Screw Jann Wenner and his cohorts.

Enig, there is no hard and fast rule that says only 15 nominees, that's just how many they've had the past couple years, so that's what we're guessing. 18 is plausible, but if you honestly think there'll be four or five prog acts, and don't take this the wrong way, you're out of your gourd. The Moody Blues won't see a nomination until Procol Harum is in, imo. Quite frankly, I don't get what all the belief for Yes is about. I know there's a more concentrated push for them, but the NomCom is a bit like Honey Badger: they don't care. As far as they go, Yes is as plausible as Jethro Tull, as Emerson, Lake, And Palmer... you just don't know. Posted by Philip on Sunday, 09/1/2013 @ 10:20am |

Duran Duran has never been considered either. It was probably the main reason why most of us picked The Cure as the representative for new wave and affiliated genres. Robert Smith & co. were nominated once, which means they have a big chane to be nominated again. Simon LeBon & the Taylors haven't even been discussed by the NomCom.

Thank you for analyzing the stats on this page, FRL! It's interesting, statistically, what this website's fans have picked so far, and of course, YOUR picks. Knowing the HOF nominating committee, it will probably look completely different from everyone's lists, or they may just stick with the old formula: 60% previously nominated nominees and 40% newbies.

And there are plenty of deserving female Rap acts outside of those two who should be considered. Although I doubt that any female rapper outside of Lauryn Hill, Salt N Pepa, Latifah, and Missy Elliott will ever get a nomination, much less inducted. Although I could be wrong. It would be wonderful to see MC Lyte, Roxanne Shante, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, and Eve get nominations. Or even female inclusive Rap groups like The Funky Four Plus One. Although I think the ship is sailing for Old School Rap acts. As we move into the 1990s the competition and name recognition is going to be too great for them to contend with.

Justin, when Deep Purple and T. Rex are your bluesiest acts, I have trouble calling that ballot beautiful. Sorry. Normally I let people post their dream lists without saying much, but ugh. It's one of the narrowest visions of a ballot that I've seen. Posted by Philip on Monday, 09/2/2013 @ 13:05pm |
In a perfect world, this is what this year's ballot "would" look like: Posted by Rick Vendl II on Monday, 09/2/2013 @ 13:18pm |
You know the funny thing about my list is that until Rush was nominated last year and inducted this year, I would have never thought about it being even remotely plausible. However, I happen to believe that if Rush could be inducted, so too can those aforementioned artists. I remember reading one Duran Duran fan's comments. He said something along these lines, "... once Rush has been inducted, Duran Duran will be next..." Posted by Enigmaticus on Monday, 09/2/2013 @ 13:46pm |
Enigmaticus - I don't doubt that members of the NomCom have visited the site, but they don't give a rat's ass what we do or say here. They have their own agendas. Some people seem to come here to vent, thinking that they're speaking to the people in charge and saying something that's never been said before. Incorrect in both cases.

True, Rick, and I certainly agree that Deep Purple is an unforgivable snub. I may not be a fan of theirs, but their credentials as hard rock/metal pioneers cannot be overlooked. You are indeed correct that both DP and KW began their careers around the same time. I apologize for the error. Posted by Zach on Monday, 09/2/2013 @ 17:47pm |

FRL had accurately predicted 4 out of the 6 inductees and 7 out of the 15 nominees for last year. How is this possible? Posted by Enigmaticus on Monday, 09/2/2013 @ 18:44pm |

DarinRG, Posted by Enigmaticus on Monday, 09/2/2013 @ 21:44pm |
Because FRL understands how the NomCom and voting committees work through observation. He's been doing this a while. Many other longtime observers have equally impressive numbers every year. If I remember right, Greg F had a freakishly accurate ballot prediction last year and our former Rock Hall Revisited member Tom Lane nailed the inducted class with 100% accuracy in his blog. How did they do this? They've been observing the trends and behaviors for years and put their own personal biases aside. The NomCom certainly didn't base their ballot around Greg's predictions and the voting committee most certainly didn't vote based on Tom Lane's predictions.

Genesis were inducted. Peter Gabriel should be next. I'm more biased towards Phil Collins but I fear mentioning him would bring all kinds of "oh please" retorts lol Posted by Tim on Tuesday, 09/3/2013 @ 00:55am |

As far as Peter Gabriel's solo career is concerned, I thoroughly enjoy "Melt," "Security," "So" and "Plays Live." I also think that "Scratching My Back" and "New Blood" are quite interesting. Posted by Rick Vendl II on Tuesday, 09/3/2013 @ 01:17am |
Yes Tim, I know that Genesis was inducted back in March, 2010. They were inducted by Phish. I had watched the induction ceremony on YouTube. My comment was referring to the website that I had previously created, back in 1998. Posted by Enigmaticus on Tuesday, 09/3/2013 @ 01:21am |

I just thought I would make a quick post in defense of Linda Ronstadt, her career, the hype that surrounds her, and why she is one of the more substantial snubs in the Hall's backlog of artists. Posted by Chris F. on Tuesday, 09/3/2013 @ 17:51pm |
To me, the biggest surprise would be any left-field pick from the NomCom committee. As I said above, I'm sure they'll stick to the 60% already nominated, 40% newly nominated formula. Posted by Jason Voigt on Wednesday, 09/4/2013 @ 00:08am |

Yes, the members of Rush would be a good choice, but if Duran Duran and The Moody Blues were inducted also, the members of Rush would be hard pressed to induct 3 acts. ;-) Posted by Enigmaticus on Saturday, 09/7/2013 @ 16:03pm |

On the induction of Nirvana. I would be happy to see Vedder do the tribute. But I am leaning towards someone more like Iggy Pop or Neil Young. Posted by Chris F, on Saturday, 09/7/2013 @ 16:33pm |

Leftfield choice to induct Nirvana would Jay-Z. He sampled Nirvana in his most recent album and he has talked in lengh his love of the band and Kurt. Posted by Gassman on Thursday, 09/12/2013 @ 11:33am |
Actually last year they announced it during the first week of October. I really hope they don't wait that long again, let alone making it a new thing. If they do, this nomination list betta be good! Posted by Jason Voigt on Thursday, 09/12/2013 @ 13:28pm |

Regarding the "orange book," aka "The Rolling Stone Record Guide" from 1979, Yes had fared quite well in this guide. They had been awarded two 5- five star albums for "The Yes Album" and "Close To The Edge," if memory serves. If the Hall nominating committee is using the orange book as a guide, then Yes stands a good chance of being nominated, if not inducted within the very near future. Posted by Enigmaticus on Thursday, 09/19/2013 @ 09:59am |
it should shape up to be a interesting nomination list for 2014 and its only a couple weeks away Posted by chris on Thursday, 09/19/2013 @ 11:37am |

THE 2014 HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME INDUCTEES ANNOUNCED Posted by Roy on Monday, 09/23/2013 @ 10:11am |
well they said they will meet this week to determine the ballot so by the end of the week maybe the full list comes out we hope Posted by chris on Monday, 09/23/2013 @ 11:55am |
Highly doubtful. Remember, they need to time once they decide the ballot to do the write-ups for their press release: what will be announced live and what will be up on the website. Plus, they need to print out the ballots and mail them out. Presumably, they'll do all this before they even announce the nominees. It'll take at least another two weeks, best guess estimate. It won't kill us to wait for them to do the physically laborious part of the job first. Posted by Philip on Monday, 09/23/2013 @ 12:38pm |

Just a general question. What does everyone think of the Scorpions' chances? If we mention Def Leppard, you can't leave out the Scorps. They never seem to get any love,and they have more than withstood the test of time. Posted by K-Dawg on Tuesday, 09/24/2013 @ 17:51pm |

Of course, I am still looking forward to the 2014 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame nominees list. For many years, actually 15 years, I had been an avid supporter of Rush's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Since that time, I have signed petitions for the induction of both Rush and Duran Duran into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Posted by Enigmaticus on Sunday, 10/6/2013 @ 01:00am |
Someone who I am shocked no one has mentioned yet is Phil Ochs, the 1960s folk singer/political activist whose song "I Ain't Marching Anymore" is one of the defining anti-Vietnam War songs. Definitely should be nominated and probably inducted within the next couple of years. There is an excellent documentary that came out 2 years ago on PBS' "American Masters" program that discusses Ochs' life and career; definitely something to watch if you like folk music and the works of Bob Dylan, Ochs' rival/friend at the time Posted by Nick on Sunday, 10/6/2013 @ 19:23pm |

yeah, idk why either i would have to think it is this week since they already have met and have discussed the list for the nominees so they just have to annouce it on the rockhall site and every other media outlet Posted by chris on Monday, 10/7/2013 @ 12:38pm |
So what's better: waiting long for the Nominations list to come out in nearly mid-October, or having the Inductees announced nearly in mid-December? Posted by Jason Voigt on Monday, 10/7/2013 @ 20:04pm |
The reason I ask that question is I remember there was a time when the Nominees would be announced in September and the inductees in January. Posted by Jason Voigt on Monday, 10/7/2013 @ 20:05pm |
It really doesn't matter...the revealing of the nominees is easily the most interesting part of the cycle (since the inductees obviously have to come from that group) and we know it's only going to happen once a year, so when it occurs is kind of irrelevant.

Will there be an announcement today or tomorrow? Posted by Roy on Tuesday, 10/8/2013 @ 07:59am |
most likely the end of this week roy, i believe it will be annouced then Posted by chris on Tuesday, 10/8/2013 @ 12:06pm |
It's coming real soon. If you look at the nominees page in the Rock Hall's website, you'll notice that the 2013 Nominees are gone. It might be a glitch from the computer I am using but try to check it out. Posted by John R.C. on Tuesday, 10/8/2013 @ 15:50pm |
Nice catch, John R.C. Posted by FRL on Tuesday, 10/8/2013 @ 16:46pm |
I have to imagine it will be announced tonight or tommorrow. Posted by Gassman on Tuesday, 10/8/2013 @ 16:47pm |
Yeah most likely tomorrow or the end of this week for sure Posted by Chris on Tuesday, 10/8/2013 @ 19:05pm |

Casey Kasem is dying! Posted by Roy on Tuesday, 10/8/2013 @ 23:33pm |
What does everyone think about the possibility of George Jones being the "left field pick" for the 2014 Nominees. He is one of the all-time greats of country music and his early years were rooted in rock and roll and rockabilly (similar to 2005 nominee Conway Twitty). And he did pass away earlier in the year, so maybe that could bring some attention to him from the Nominating Committee. Posted by Donnie on Tuesday, 10/8/2013 @ 23:36pm |
It is only a matter of time before country gets another nod in the RRHOF. Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley to a lesser extent, are givens. Since it encompasses so many genres, I don't see it as an impossibility, but it's not likely. Posted by K-Dawg on Wednesday, 10/9/2013 @ 01:54am |

Wouldn't it be appropriate and just to (finally) include the band that has sold well over 100 million records, scored multiple platinum and gold records, won grammys, yada yada yada, and is the second most successful American band in history to the Beach Boys?

In Chicago's case, influence and innovation don't matter. What matters is this: Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 10/9/2013 @ 11:59am |
not annouced yet unfournately Posted by chris on Wednesday, 10/9/2013 @ 12:08pm |

the end of this week is when they will annouce the list since it has already been two weeks since they met on september 27th to determine the nominees anyway so i don't see why they should get on with it and announce it and not leave us hanging in the dust day after day, its ridiculous. Posted by chris on Wednesday, 10/9/2013 @ 12:34pm |
I'm now guessing the nominations will come out next week, hope I'm wrong! Posted by Gassman on Wednesday, 10/9/2013 @ 12:57pm |
Lou Adler wants Johnny Winter, Jan and Dean and Cheech and Chong inducted. Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 10/9/2013 @ 14:45pm |
My guess on why they're holding on to announce nominations is because they're wary of leaks but they have to understand that being online, communication travels fast. You can't trust anyone because someone will always leak. It just seems now people are just now saying who they want in the Hall. More inductees means more chiming in on who they want in. Could come out at the end of the week. Posted by Tim on Wednesday, 10/9/2013 @ 15:07pm |
Just looking at the list, some thoughts. Posted by astrodog on Wednesday, 10/9/2013 @ 15:52pm |
01. The Beatles (inducted in 1988) Posted by RJ on Wednesday, 10/9/2013 @ 16:55pm |
Like I said the end of this week most likely Posted by chris on Wednesday, 10/9/2013 @ 17:03pm |
I love Chicago and they have the innovation component, but their influence to future generations of musicians is practically zero. Those are the only two factors that matter. Money sales mean nothing! Posted by Gassman on Wednesday, 10/9/2013 @ 17:38pm |
I agree with Gassman. Not to burst anyone's bubble, but yeah. I do think its sad that several hitmakers of the rock era like Chicago, John Denver and Three Dog Night probably will never get in. I wish it were considered a way to get in (chart positions, sales numbers, # of charted hits, list goes on...), but for now we gotta make our predictions on who's been innovative and influential on future generations. Posted by Jason Voigt on Wednesday, 10/9/2013 @ 19:42pm |
In all honesty, I don't think "influence and innovation" is the sole reason that artists get inducted. I think it certainly helps, but it's definitely not the "end all be all" in whether an artist gets inducted. Posted by Donnie on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 06:52am |
If you really sit down and analyze how influential and innovative each RNRHOF inductee was, I'd say only about maybe 40% would really deserve to score high marks. Especially with innovation, as if you were going based on innovating and how original an artist was, it'd probably go down to about 20% of the artists scoring a high mark. Most of the inductees are in due to being big names or even just favorites of the Nominating Committee. Posted by Donnie on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 06:57am |
Donnie: I totally agree with your post. I'm more so providing the out that the Hall has regarding groups like Chicago, KISS, etc. Also I bet if you were to ask the Hall about Percy Sledge, John Mellencamp, Bob Seger, etc they would be able to give you a ton of "I&I" explanations why they were inducted. Would they be legitimate? Probably not, but you know they'd be able to create some explanation that didn't involve sales. Posted by Gassman on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 10:37am |
I still think it would have to be tomorrow or Monday for them to announce it, I mean, get on with it already Posted by chris on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 12:05pm |
The won't annouce on Friday. You only annouce things on Friday when you don't want people to know about it as it will just bleed into the weekend when no one is paying attention. Also I don't think I've ever seen the the Hall not annouce things on either a Tuesday or Wednesday. Posted by Gassman on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 12:16pm |
Is it usually this late? I thought it was always in Sept? When were they announced last year? In previous years? Posted by Andrew on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 12:16pm |
It was almost always late September, until last year I think they announced in the first week of October. So the current trend appears to be the date moving back. Posted by Gassamn on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 12:21pm |
I guess so. then it would have to be Monday the 14th if its not tomorrow on Friday because you can't drag this on till November since the inductees have to be announced in December so it would have to be Monday then if not tomorrow Posted by chris on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 12:41pm |
Donnie, you hit the nail on the head on that one. Seriously, one or two hit singles, or one or two good albums does not, in my honest opinion, make one worthy of Rock Hall induction. As far as I am concerned, you should have a history of excellence in order to have even been considered. Keeping those criteria in mind, I had started making up my list nearly a year ago. Posted by Enigmaticus on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 13:01pm |
I am definitely looking forward to seeing that nomination list. By the way, Astrodog I do agree with some of your points, as far as artists from the F.R.L. list whom I would personally endorse is concerned, those are the following: Yes, Procol Harum, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Spinners and Deep Purple. Posted by Enigmaticus on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 13:50pm |

I could see Duran Duran being inducted or nominated at least. The Moody Blues' snub always disturbed me for some reason. I definitely think nomination announcements will come at the end of this week or the beginning of next. Like it's said, nominations don't come until December. The Songwriters Hall had no trouble announcing their nominees... Posted by Tim on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 15:30pm |
I don't think this is the latest that the Rock Hall released the nominees. The latest that they release is the 2007 nominees when they release it is on October 28. Posted by John R.C. on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 15:47pm |
^ Posted by John R.C. on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 15:48pm |
Yeah, the 2007 Nominees were announced on October 30th. Inductees weren't announced that time until early January. Posted by FRL on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 16:09pm |
Interesting. I wonder when they'd announce the inductees then. Are they going back to what they were doing in 2007? I don't know how announcements were made pre-2007. Hadn't been paying attention to it until a few years ago. Hopefully they actually increase the number of inductees. Posted by Tim on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 16:53pm |
Fut. Rock Legends posted that the 2007 nominees were announced Set. 27- surely not as late as Oct. 30? Posted by JR on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 17:52pm |
JR, that was the date when they release the 2008 nominees. 2007 nominees was released in 2006 Posted by John R.C. on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 19:19pm |

I just played some easy game on the Rock Hall website and won (or "won") a six-month trial membership to the museum. Just a heads up if anybody wants to visit for free (I doubt I'll take advantage of the offer). Posted by Casper on Thursday, 10/10/2013 @ 23:06pm |

There are some in the hall- i.e. Percy Sledge- who have been inducted, that make you wonder. But someone like John Mellencamp- while not a hugely revered, acclaimed act- is respected in the community- so that also helps. Posted by JR on Friday, 10/11/2013 @ 10:09am |
so it looks like monday will be the annoucement since it won't be today Posted by chris on Friday, 10/11/2013 @ 12:05pm |

Nah, it will be Tuesday or Wednesday. Monday has too much news going on along with other announcements. They don't want their story to get buried, hence why it won't be on Friday through Monday and will occur during the middle of the week. Posted by Casper on Friday, 10/11/2013 @ 13:46pm |
Casper is exactly on point! Posted by Gassman on Friday, 10/11/2013 @ 14:06pm |
God, we'd all go into simultaneous orgasm if Yo La Tengo ended up on the ballot. Posted by Casper on Friday, 10/11/2013 @ 14:55pm |
No most likely on Monday for the announcement Posted by chris on Saturday, 10/12/2013 @ 16:41pm |
Is there a traditional day to when nominations are announced? I usually think it's on Wednesdays but has it really been on Mondays? Posted by Tim on Sunday, 10/13/2013 @ 00:10am |
I think this is a pretty good list and everything but there is one man that I really would want to get support for to finally be inducted and that is Link Wray. Posted by Trevor on Sunday, 10/13/2013 @ 07:03am |

I have it on very good authority that Chicago is one of the nominees Posted by Vitus Wertegast on Monday, 10/14/2013 @ 18:41pm |
I have it on very good authority that Winger has made the list of nominees in their first year of eligibility. If elected, I hear that Bob Dylan will have the honor of inducting them. Posted by Classic Rock on Monday, 10/14/2013 @ 19:26pm |

God, The Replacements being nominated would be so friggin' awesome. I highly doubt they'd get in though. If The Cure couldn't get inducted a few years back, then why would an 80s act with virtually no mainstream success? There's too many oldsters that get to vote (practically every inductee and plenty of writers) that barely know of the band, if at all. Posted by Casper on Tuesday, 10/15/2013 @ 12:35pm |

Haven't checked everyone's predictions, but if you got more than seven right, you did better than most. Lax30 seemed to have a pretty good ballot (not sure we can count the one from today though). Anyone want to tally them up? Posted by FRL on Wednesday, 10/16/2013 @ 00:53am |
I just want to say, while it is an impressive list with many deserving acts, I am almost incensed that Kraftwerk was left off the list. Accepting electronic music is the first step in making in a non-Americentric acknowledgment of rock'n'roll. While Kiss is an accomplished band, it seems like the committee did a more than sufficient job of listening to fanboys in forsaking its tradition of going for groundbreakers. Posted by K-Dawg on Thursday, 10/17/2013 @ 16:51pm |
With the passing of John Lord last year, a very significant contribution to heavy classical infuse music was lost. They have been my all time favorite band since 1970, I feel it's been long overdue honoring a place in the rock hall of fame for Deep Purple and the late great John Lord. I am holding off on a visit to Cleveland until what I feel is one of greatest classic rock metal bands of all time are honoring you walls Posted by JAY sILBERMAN on Monday, 12/9/2013 @ 10:58am |
