Uncovering the Next Generation's Hall of Fame
Future Rock Legends predicts the 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees
Those of us deep in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame weeds talk about various artist categories (metal, hip hop, 90s, singer-songwriter, etc.) as ballot "lanes" -- which ones are too crowded, and which ones need to be cleared for a particular artist. There's a general feeling that you shouldn't nominate two or more similar artists so they don't "split the vote" and neither gets inducted. A significant portion of the Rock Hall's Nominating Committee subscribes to this line of thinking and it is reflected in a ballot that is designed to avoid supposed conflicts, but can lead to questionable nominations.
Let's set aside that way of thinking for a moment and objectively look for the eligible artists with the best Hall of Fame resumes. What's a Hall of Fame resume? Using what representatives of the Rock Hall have said over the years and reverse engineering the common qualities of the inductees, it's no surprise that it comes down to the artists who have a highly concentrated blend of critical acclaim, longevity, popularity, and a rich musical catalog. To measure this, we have collected loads of artist data and developed an "induction chances" score you see around this site. It can be used as a rough guide to evaluate the Hall of Fame merits of wildly different artists (you'll find a similar "Legends Score" at our sister site, Future Football Legends).
So if the Hall of Fame took a more scientific approach like we do, these are the 18 artists who have the best Hall of Fame resumes and should be the highest priority to be inducted (assuming you want the Hall of Fame to be the best of the best):
- OutKast
- Björk
- Missy Elliott
- Dr. Dre
- Rage Against the Machine
- Sonic Youth
- Oasis
- The Smiths
- Beck
- Fiona Apple
- Pixies
- The Replacements
- Smashing Pumpkins
- Snoop Dogg
- Willie Nelson
- Mary J. Blige
- A Tribe Called Quest
- PJ Harvey
** Note: Most algorithms reflect the choices of their designer, and this one is no different. There are countless ways to weigh the data, but this is a reflection of where things stand at the moment. It's a work in progress.
The above list clearly favors 80s and 90s artists, simply because the Hall of Fame has already inducted the best from previous decades. Despite their self-evident credentials, only a third of those artists have appeared on a ballot so far. That said, each of these legends should eventually be inducted, even if it takes decades for it to happen.
While that list would make a great ballot, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has shown it will take a different direction.
Future Rock Legends predicts the following 18 eligible artists will be on the 2023 ballot:
Artists who have never been nominated...
- Cyndi Lauper
- Jimmy Buffett
- Missy Elliott
- Jethro Tull
- Willie Nelson
- Queen Latifah
- Sheryl Crow
- Huey Lewis & the News
- Kool & the Gang
Artists who have previously been nominated...
- Iron Maiden
- Rage Against the Machine
- A Tribe Called Quest
- Soundgarden
- Rufus and Chaka Khan
- Kate Bush
- Dionne Warwick
- Devo
- Sting
[Predictions posted January 30, 2023]
Artists are eligible for the Rock
Hall 25+ years after releasing their first record (anyone
with a record released through 1997). Future Rock Legends lists eligible artists by first year of eligibility or alphabetically.

So, given that there were 16 nominees in the 2021 ballot and 17 in the 2022 ballot, I'm going to go with a prediction of 18 nominees for the 2023 ballot, although that will probably the highest the Rock Hall ballot actually goes to. First, in terms of the 2023 class that will be on the ballot their first year, I'm going with Queens of the Stone Age and Missy Elliott. I don't think I need to explain why they'll get in the ballot at this point, but here's why the other big names from this year's class aren't likely to see the ballot, at least for this year. (Keep in mind, these names are due to how big their names are on the future eligibles list) Posted by Robert F. on Sunday, 12/11/2022 @ 10:25am |

I might have to sub out one of Rufus, 'Weird' Al Yankovich, Bryan Adams, or Sheryl Crow for Cyndi Lauper. I figured they'd want to avoid going too pop but when the president has you sing as he signs a historic piece of legislation into place and you're a major contender it's kinda hard to say it won't happen unless the Rock Hall are evil.

I don't think political beliefs or controversies have anything to do with anyone not going in. I really think that they look at the career. It may seem that most of their picks have been safe ones. Unless someone on the nominating committee or a voter comes out and says that they consider stuff like that I'm not going to dismiss their chances.

I think they need to go more general hip hop. We've been inundated with worthy rap artists, yet the genre is bigger than that. It's why I'm picking TLC to be nominated this year. They even do have a rapper in their trio in the late Left Eye, but I maintain that are an influence that should go in before Missy. Posted by K-Dawg on Monday, 12/19/2022 @ 02:24am |

You continuously ask others for their predictions but what exactly do you do with them? It's not like you post a tally of who are the most selected artists from posters and other people who follow the Rock Hall.

I find it criminal that no one has mentioned Alice in Chains at all. Yes, they have been disrespected and neglected in the past, but that does not mean they can just be glossed over.

Guys can we shut up about about INXS and the b52s being bigger in the states at this point than joy division and new order. It's a statement that can no longer be said with any confidence because guess what? Blue Monday and love will tear us apart are massive (bigger than anything either INXS or the b52s ever did) and everyone and their grandparents owns an unknown pleasures t shirt. Not to mention new order were big in America during their prime. Posted by Mat r on Saturday, 12/24/2022 @ 19:13pm |

Telling people to shut up because multiple people share the same opinion? I think it's time for someone to put down the device of their choice down, go outside and take a walk around the neighborhood…. Posted by SVZ on Saturday, 12/24/2022 @ 19:28pm |
And, by the way, you're not necessarily wrong about Joy Division and New Order as they are one of the biggest snubs of their genre/era, but I can't see a scenario where they'd get in FYN (least right now). Unless the ballot is stacked in such a way that improves their chances. INXS and B-52's are far more likely to get in quicker as they have critical acclaim (like JO/NO), but INXS and B-52's have more respect from their peers and more importantly Hall of Famers. It's more the populist acts of that era who are getting in off the bat such as The Go-Go's and Duran Duran. Posted by SVZ on Saturday, 12/24/2022 @ 19:37pm |

KING ON INXS: I think INXS is plenty deserving of Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. I have a few different tests to see if a band is induction worthy. One that I often use is Popular Songs or Hit Records. I think if a group can reach 12 popular songs or hits...That is a good barometer or check for me. When thinking about INXS, they easily pass this test. Beautiful Girl, Devil Inside, Disappear, Don't Change, Listen Like Thieves, Need You Tonight, Not Enough Time, One Thing, Never Tear Us Apart, New Sensation, Suicide Blonde, What You Need, etc. Posted by KING on Sunday, 12/25/2022 @ 00:47am |
Well I think it will be the B52s and Tears for Fears. That's my answer. They were both big during the 80s a lot. Both bands were huge. You guys reviewd B52s. What about my other pick Tears for Fears. They had at 4 top 10 hits. And big albums. TEARS for fears Posted by Ben on Sunday, 12/25/2022 @ 02:09am |
I'm going to say this about Kate Bush and her chances this year: I think she's a shoo-in for another nomination because of her recent huge resurgence this past year with Running Up That Hill being featured on Stranger Things but not necessarily for induction, I just think that she's too British, too obscure, too reclusive, too adventurous, too Alternative and too weird to get the votes needed to get in with the current voting committee, I do think that she will get in this year because of her resurgence this past year, but I see her getting the LL Cool J/Judas Priest treatment (in other words, She'll get in as Musical Excellence just like LL Cool J and Judas Priest did, rather than as a Performer).

Btw to add something to the b52s vs INXS vs joy division/new order vs tears for fears... another thing that gives joy division/new order an edge: we've reached the indie era (modest mouse can be on a ballot and white stripes can be next in year) and guess who is the most influential indie act...joy division/new order Posted by Mat r on Monday, 12/26/2022 @ 10:26am |

The induction of Dolly Parton is a game-changer in more than one way, I think. Not only will it lead to other country artists being inducted relatively soon (Willie Nelson's chance of induction markedly increased following Dolly's induction), but it more clearly points out that the Rock Hall is not really a Rock Hall, but a Hall of Fame for popular musicians. No longer is there the illusion that someone had to have the credentials of embodying the rebellious nature of R & R as being the justification for induction (which is IMO how rap artists and some R and B artists were voted in) Posted by Eric Tompkins on Wednesday, 12/28/2022 @ 13:22pm |
Eric, Posted by K-Dawg on Wednesday, 12/28/2022 @ 13:30pm |
I think that if an Easy Listening act were to get nominated and inducted, I think the most likely Easy Listening act to do it would be Celine Dion, because she's a much bigger name in Music than The Carpenters and Olivia Newton-John, plus she would sell more tickets to the induction ceremony and would bring more ratings for HBO, also, she's had some health issues over the past couple of years with her recent Stiff Person Syndrome diagnosis that has caused her to cancel her Vegas residency at Resorts World, the remaining dates of the North American leg of her Courage World Tour and 8 Summer 2023 shows in Europe, as well as postpone some of her European leg of her Courage World Tour to 2024, also the fact that she may never perform again due to her illness may help her to get nominated and inducted sooner rather than later, I think that once Cher, Dionne Warwick, Mariah Carey, Cyndi Lauper and Diana Ross get in, I think Celine will be the next Pop diva in line for a nomination and an induction, as well as she should be.

One of the facts I didn't know until recently is that Richard Carpenter co-wrote 4 of the Carpenters Top Ten hits as well as co-writing the Christmas classic "Merry Christmas, Darling". So, one could argue that this makes the Carpenters more multitalented than say, Dusty Springfield and Linda Ronstadt. The latter two inductees I think belong in the Rock Hall and I'll put forth the above in support of Richard and Karen being in. Posted by Eric Tompkins on Wednesday, 12/28/2022 @ 19:30pm |

I was listening to a podcast geared towards the Rock Hall because someone mentioned them in the comments here. The hosts gave their predictions for the 2023 inductees and I was fine with, at best, a few of their choices. But then the female host named Paula Abdul. I was stunned. And not in a good way. Can someone explain to me why Paula should be inducted into the R&RHOF over names like Sinead O Connor, The Runaways, Sheryl Crow, Cyndi Lauper, The Bangles, Chaka Khan, Dionne Warwick, Mariah Carey, Cher, Alanis Morissette, Kate Bush, Fiona Apple etc.... Posted by Aria Diamond on Wednesday, 12/28/2022 @ 23:12pm |
Did you hear that Dionne Warwick has a new documentary airing on CNN on New Year's Day called Dionne Warwick: Don't Make Me Over and it will also be available on HBO Max following the film's broadcast on CNN, We all know that the Rock Hall loves their documentaries and there is a pattern of artists getting in on their third nomination in recent years like Joan Jett & The Blackhearts and Lou Reed in 2015, Deep Purple in 2016, Yes in 2017, The Cars in 2018, Janet Jackson in 2019, Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails in 2020, Todd Rundgren in 2021 and Judas Priest via the Musical Excellence category this past year, So do you think that Dionne's new documentary on CNN will help her get her third straight nomination and this time, help her get elected on her third try depending on the competition?.

What's not getting mentioned about Paula is that she's gained a following she may not have had by being part of American Idol. The Hall is terrible about tying in music/variety shows into its calculations. American Idol, America's Got Talent, The Voice, etc...these shows have HUGE impact on people. Dick Clark, Ed Sullivan, Don Cornelius...right into shows like SNL and late night hosts like Johnny Carson, David Letterman,Conan O'Brien...these bring the acts on where they can catch on. Where am I going with all this? Yes, Paula does have influence from a modest (comparatively speaking to Whitney and Janet, her peers in the late 80s) performer career, but the Hall should take into account the entire product. They sometimes do with Randy Newman, Todd Rundgren etc, as songwriters, but someone has to present these future superstars to the world. Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are part of the public conscious because Paula, with Randy Jackson and the adorable Simon Cowell, brought them into it.

It was suggested last week that someone tally up the responses to the "favorite artist from each induction year" question. Since no one has responded to that question since then, I just counted up the responses from the five people who previously replied. 1998 was the only unanimous year and 2019 was the only year with five different choices.

Celine Dion is Easy Listening that caters to Vegas strictly these days. No way to Celine Dion. Mariah Carey was also one of the biggest acts of the 90s. She has a much better chance because its a more rebellious pop at times. The Carpenters pick is intriguing, They have loads of influence and even though they are in the realm of Easy Listening they have a rather good shot at the RNR Hall of Fame.

For an act that's already failed three times? I think not. They should go with someone from new wave and classic alternative that could resonate with voters like B-52's, INXS and Billy Idol. Each of those three could easily get in on the first try. Posted by Brian R on Friday, 12/30/2022 @ 16:46pm |

You're placing too much emphasis on the city who's hosting the ceremony. With your logic, they would've waited until it went back to NYC to induct Jay-Z yet they honored him in Cleveland. I don't think the committee nor the voters care about that and when it happens, it's just a coincidence. Posted by Brian R on Friday, 12/30/2022 @ 16:59pm |

I don't get the logic of how a ceremony's location is going influence when someone gets inducted. Just because an artist city or state that the ceremony is held is their home state or city doesn't they'll get at that time. I mean Jay-Z is from Brooklyn and they didn't wait until the ceremony was at Brooklyn to induct him. Posted by Greg F on Saturday, 12/31/2022 @ 08:23am |

whoops, my mistake, id say cut out both chers i listed, didnt mean to write her twice, and as for my seventh inductee, joy division/new order Posted by Will M on Saturday, 01/7/2023 @ 11:46am |
With the INXS vs new order/joy division debate about who is the next new wave act, there's a new wave artist whose name no one has mentioned recently and it's very weird cause he's more like Duran Duran than either as he's an early MTV icon who is also was big in the early days of new wave and took part in a ceremony recently: billy idol Posted by Mat R on Saturday, 01/7/2023 @ 11:48am |
Billy Idol just doesn't scream RRHOF to me. He's had some hits, but he's unimpressive as a whole compared to a vast majority of acts. He ticks the rockist boxes, who probably swear the 3 songs heard on classic rock stations (Rebel Yell, White Wedding and Mony Mony) make him more worthy than Chuck Berry, but nothing about him stands out to me as influential. Compared to JD/NO and INXS, he doesn't have the lasting impact, at least on the charts. My .02 Posted by K-Dawg on Saturday, 01/7/2023 @ 11:58am |

As much as I love Joy Division/New Order, I just think that they are too British and too Alternative to get in right away with the current voting committee, I think that it will take JD/NO 2-3 nominations to get in just like The Cure, Depeche Mode and Eurythmics. I just think that their lack of name recognition in the US will really hurt their chances of getting in right away, Yes, Roxy Music and T. Rex both got in right away, but they both have a lot of respect among the living inductees and musicians, JD/NO doesn't, so I see them being more like The Smiths and not getting in right away, I think the only 80's New Wave/Alternative acts that will get in right away when they get nominated are The B-52's, INXS, Billy Idol and maybe Tears For Fears and Culture Club.

usually it's an annoyance to have a post double or triple, but this one by Will M. is perfect because it magnifies the shortsightedness of Richie's statement. If you think they'd have a hard time getting in over Billy Idol, Tears for Fears or Culture Club, you're not very aficionadistic towards music trends. Joy Division/New Order is on the same pantheon with the Cure, Depeche Mode and Duran Duran. Yes, it took some of the others multiple times to get in, but that dam has already been breached, so they'd skate in on their first try Posted by K-Dawg on Saturday, 01/7/2023 @ 13:43pm |

3 things Posted by Mat r on Saturday, 01/7/2023 @ 14:57pm |
I'll have to agree that if Joy Division/New Order is nominated, they'll be inducted. They will have no one else in their lane to divert votes away. Whether they'll be nominated soon is the question. I hope so. Posted by Eric Tompkins on Saturday, 01/7/2023 @ 15:01pm |

Actually looking into it blondie, talking heads, Duran Duran, the cure, Depeche Mode, the go-gos, and Eurythmics all never had an album as big as cosmic thing was for the b52s. The cars seem to be the lone major new wave band in the hall with a better selling album. INXS and Tears for Fears also have a better selling album. Posted by Mat r on Saturday, 01/7/2023 @ 19:48pm |

Adams, Lauper, Carey, Rufus, rage, Jones, Dre with Devo as musical excellence alongside Carol kaye Posted by Mat r on Sunday, 01/8/2023 @ 12:43pm |
As much as I love Boston, I'm not sure if they're super likely for induction. The first album is an absolute classic and I love later albums but the long gaps in releases (due to scholz perfectionism) hurts their chances I feel. Plus, name recognition might be a big deal. Tom Scholz is very respected amongst musicians but not a household name amongst the general public. As much as I adore Delp and his incredible voice, how many other people know his name? As opposed to Foreigner, who have I feel more well known names Lou Gramm and Mick Jones as well as Crimson veteran Ian McDonald, and a larger output from 77-87, unlike bostons 76-78, 86, 94, and 02 albums Posted by Will M on Sunday, 01/8/2023 @ 14:11pm |
If any band would take the arena rock/classic rock spot, I see it being Foreigner. They're Farewell tour definitely gives them some attention right now and they've got plenty of iconic songs and sales, much more than Boston on both ends. As much as I love Boston, many might only know more than a feeling (one of the best songs ever) or at least be restrained to the first album and maybe don't look back. While Foreigner hold onto Cold as Ice, Feels like the first, double vision, hot blooded, urgent, I want to know what love is, juke box hero, waiting for a girl like you, head games. Although I must concede they don't have one album as acclaimed or as successful as bostons self titled album is Posted by Will M on Sunday, 01/8/2023 @ 14:21pm |

Im really rooting for Dionne to get an induction atp. All her peers sans Barbra (for well documented reasons) have been inducted and her being looked over is changing rapidly so before she sets sail for the afterlife, I hope the Hall lets her in so she can get the tribute her long career deserves.

I've held off on putting Kate Bush on my nomination list, but I'll admit, if she does get nominated, it'll be a race to the top of the fan vote for her. The success of "Running Up That Hill" on Stranger Things can't be denied, and all of a sudden the song is heard daily on alternative and hard rock formats everywhere. Anyone that says she isn't a favorite or at least a strong darkhorse is uninformed... Posted by K-Dawg on Tuesday, 01/10/2023 @ 03:46am |
Richie, I said it before and I'll say it again. If Titanic hadn't made "My Heart Will Go On" such a massive hit, she would be struggling to be known as anything but a niche performer out of Canada. As far as the "Stiff Person Syndrome" diagnosis goes, the Hall has time and again ignored legends who have passed. She isn't going to get any brownie points for a disease. I don't mean that to sound harsh, but they aren't here to go "poor thing. Let's give him/her a nomination because of their suffering". Posted by K-Dawg on Tuesday, 01/10/2023 @ 03:50am |

Celine Dion is definitely getting a lot of publicity rn, bc of her illness and rolling stone excluding her from the singers list, and your right she would rock the fan vote if nominated and be a big name draw to the show.

Ahh an abbrev I know Olivia Newton John gets nominated Long before Celine Dion. I was a Rock fan. I was NOT a big fan Of Olivia N J music. BUT I was around DURING the time of Grease. She may get nominated BUT NOT CELINE dion. Overall Olivia is a better choice due to Grease and all the hits. And she did NOT stay as mellow like Celine Dion.

I really don't see Celine Dion being nominated and inducted before Dionne Warwick, Mariah Carey, Cher, Cyndi Lauper, Phil Collins, George Michael, Diana Ross and Gloria Estefan as far as Pop/Adult Contemporary/Easy Listening acts go, All of them have been mentioned for the Rock Hall much more than Celine and All of them also have more critical acclaim than Celine as well, so there you go. Posted by richie on Tuesday, 01/10/2023 @ 15:05pm |
Gotta disagree on George Michael. I think his solo career far exceeded that of Wham!. Outside of the Make It Big album, Wham! didn't really leave much of a mark. And many songs on their albums were really just George songs (Careless Whisper, A Different Corner). On the other hand, George had multiple #1 singles as a solo artist, including 4 from the Faith album alone, and redefined how an artist could take creative control of their career. And of course he became a legit icon in the LGBTQ community. He'll be nominated and inducted as a solo artist, possibly as early as this year. Posted by Michael W. on Tuesday, 01/10/2023 @ 15:18pm |

What do you guys think of George Thorogoods chances of inductions? Im a big fan of his, im not sure if hes super likely but he could make it on as an oddball unexpected pick, sort of like stings solo nom or bad brains Posted by Will M on Wednesday, 01/11/2023 @ 23:02pm |

im not gonna predict blue oyster cult for this year but i dont think theyre too unlikely. they had the reunion album recently,, theyve earned a lot of critical respect, theyve got influence on punk and metal (patti smith, minutemen, metallica), and theyd be a big name classic rock band on the lineup. and thats a garunteed patti smith induction speech too. doesnt hurt they sold a lot of records and dont fear the reaper is like the best song ever, the post 81 years might hurt them tho, i love those albums but i dare a casual fan to name anything from imaginos, great album btw Posted by Will M on Thursday, 01/12/2023 @ 09:13am |

Foghat did also have Fool for the City. And BTO has 3 or 4 hits that get played, most notably Taking Care of Business and You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet, but yeah they are more worthy in terms of influence. Foghat has some awesome southern rock blues stuff that never gets played, but like bands say, .38 Special or Litte Feat, their catalogs are pigeonholed by one or two songs. They try to do that with BOC and Kansas, also, and those 2 are far more worthy of induction. Posted by K-Dawg on Friday, 01/13/2023 @ 12:55pm |

As for a new wave rep; I feel like inxs would lie on the outs for at least another year, every other option, devo, b52s tears for fears, jd/no, are all British or American, and the hall i lacks a lot of non British or Americans, 6 Canadians and 2 Australians are in, plus 1 Irish band U2. I don't think there's any inductees from other European, African, Asian or South American countries. Inxs would be a great 3rd Aussie band. This would definitely affect Thin Lizzy potential too Posted by Will M on Friday, 01/13/2023 @ 13:54pm |

im not really predicting him, but i would LOVE a peter frampton induction, frampton comes alive is one of my favorite albums ever, hes an awesome guitar player, and i love all his solo albums. hed be a perfect induction and i think hes got a higher chance now because of his health problems sadly. he is one person where i do feel like musical excellence would work for him, because he was in the herd and humble pie as well as touring with bowie and ringo.

Cyndi Lauper has far more than one song. She also has social conscience status, something that the RRHOF recognizes as huge. Put that in with the glut of 80s acts the past few years, and she is a shoo-in for FYI when she gets nominated. I believe she goes in this year. Kate Bush is very talented and deserving, but most Americans only know "Running Up That Hill" and maybe "Babooshka" and "Hounds of Love". Americentric bias kept her out these years more than any other cause. She might get in on the strength of one song on a Netflix series, and that in itself is a joke, because it should have been the case without said series, but it's the RRHOF. So, the closer we get, the more likely it seems to me both women will be nominated. Do not turn this into an "A versus B"...to the poster that insinuated as such...that wasn't you, Aria Diamond Posted by K-Dawg on Thursday, 01/19/2023 @ 11:22am |

Fair point, Will- Frampton has redeemed himself as of late in his recordings, though I'd stop short of saying his early solo album work is 'incredible'- I just honestly don't see how is overall output puts him ahead or even close to like-minded contemporaries from his era… Posted by EDS on Monday, 01/23/2023 @ 19:41pm |
So a name I've heard a lot of noted Hallwatchers and nomcom people mention lately is Ice T. He covers 80s rap, an avenue they need to work on, and also has massive metal cred thanks to Bodycount. Apparently he was mentioned in the nomcom meeting last year and he's still very relevant in music (Body Count are regularly releasing acclaimed metal music) and a big name in entertainment.

Love Drive started it all for the Scorpions in 1979! Scorpions are considered in the Rock and Roll World as "The Ambassadors of Rock and Roll". SCORPIONS have been eligible for the Rock Hall since 1997 but have yet to be nominated in spite of the fact they are the most successful rock act to call Germany home, in addition to having several FM radio anthems to its credit, notably "Rock You Like A Hurricane", "No One Like You" and "Big City Nights" and "Always Somewhere" and "Send me An Angel" and "Wind of Change" and "Holiday". Scorpions are estimated to have sold over 100 million records around the world, making them one of the best-selling hard rock and heavy metal bands. .

id love a weird al nomination, hes on my predictions list, im not so sure about if hed go in, at least through performer. hes very beloved by many, so if the ballots right hed get a good amount of votes from inductees, like paul mccartney. not that it matters so much but hed also likely rock the fan vote. hes very much helped by here by the recency of the movie, great film btw. but also, he just feels like a backdoor through AME, that just feels like something the hall would probably do.

My final (slightly tweaked) predictions coming up later today. Someone has totally jumped up leaps and bounds into one of the favorites. Stay tuned.. Posted by K-Dawg on Thursday, 01/26/2023 @ 06:03am |
Just realized I had Tribe listed twice on my predictions. I knew something felt off I just didn't know what. IG I'll swap them out for Modest Mouse given their drummer's death it might remind the Hall they exist idk. Posted by Raichu on Thursday, 01/26/2023 @ 08:23am |

In my assessment of Chaka Khan I forgot I'm every woman. That is a great song. But I think people will know it from the Whitney Houston cover. And I should mention that of course, name recognition is not everything, and people my age probably don't recognize The MC5 or New York Dolls either. What I think matters more is critical assessment, I don't read about them or hear anything about Rufus/Chaka. No reissue news, nothing at all, never an article about their albums, they don't appear in any rolling stone lists, and none of the artists I listen to call them an influence. I very probably have this view because of my rock centric perspective and ny own personal biases. But it's how I feel about their chances Posted by Will M on Thursday, 01/26/2023 @ 10:48am |

one thought i had on te pitchfork point you mentioned earlier and with mariah now it got me thinking, are any staff writers editors executives etc from pitchfork on the nom com/voters? im genuienly asking i really dont know. if there are, then your point about white stripes/strokes signyfing the pitchfork takeover would make sense, but if there isnt, then that whole point is mute. shrodingers cat kinda thing cause i genuinly dunno if there are pitchfork people as part of the rock hall.

I'm surprised that no one has brought up Celine Dion in the conversation for this year yet, Yes, I know that she's not a critical favorite by any means, but you can't deny her massive record sales and Global/Worldwide popularity, plus she's been battling health issues in the past two years with her recent diagnosis of a rare neurological disorder called Stiff Person Syndrome that has forced her to cancel the remaining dates of the North American leg as well as 8 Summer 2023 European shows of her Courage World Tour, and postpone her new Vegas residency at Resorts World in Las Vegas as well as most of the European leg of her Courage World Tour until Fall 2023 and Spring 2024, so I think that she could get a surprise nomination this year because of it.

There was a nominees draft episode on the Rock in Retrospect podcast last month. It was a really great episode you should check out. If you go back and listen to it, they had most of the ones that Who Cares About the Rock Hall? chose earlier today. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or if they listened to them beforehand but it was sorta eerie. Posted by Brian R on Friday, 01/27/2023 @ 23:40pm |

Mat R - I know Outkast well and respect them, which is why they are on my list. But you obviously know absolutely nothing about Herbie Hancock if you think Outkast are more influential than he is. A major player in Miles Davis' Jazz Rock fusion albums that were a major driver of getting Davis inducted into the Rock Hall, a major innovator in 70s funk music with the Headhunters, and his 1983 album Future Shock helped to bring turntablism to the mainstream with its inclusion of D.ST (later known as Grand Mixer DXT).

plus, commercial success isnt everything. i have no doubt all 20+ members of the cure, NIN and Depeche Mode would vote for JDNO, plus talking heads are fans, as well as joe walsh. theyre hugely influential and acclaimed, id imagne lots of voters like them a lot. on top of the commercial success that ritchie completely ignores. didnt rolling stone put unknown pleasures, closer, and power corruption lies on the best albums list recently. they also included love will tear us apart and bizzare love triangle on their songs list. Mat R mentioned how pitchfork would have a greater influence potentially soon, and jd/no are 100% a pitchfork favorite Posted by Will M on Monday, 01/30/2023 @ 15:57pm |

To FRL, I think King Crimson will be nominated and inducted before Jethro Tull. Bill Bruford is loved by the curators of the museum. He's been interviewed numerous times. As for Jethro Tull, Ian Anderson has shown no interest, but no words from the other members of Jethro Tull. We could actually see King Crimson and Jethro Tull on the same ballot. You also left out the possibility of a second induction for Diana Ross. Posted by Roy on Tuesday, 01/31/2023 @ 04:59am |
Bill Bruford will get a second induction. Posted by Roy on Tuesday, 01/31/2023 @ 08:45am |

Usually every year, There is one name that nobody saw coming that gets nominated and this year I'm thinking because of the recent news of her illness (Stiff Person Syndrome), I'm thinking that Celine Dion could be the one this year. Posted by richie on Tuesday, 01/31/2023 @ 13:26pm |
God Richie stop with Celine Dion. If she's actually nominated I will eat a shoe Posted by Mat r on Tuesday, 01/31/2023 @ 13:40pm |

Richie I don't see it happening. Just because she has Stiff Person Syndrome doesn't mean she'll get a sympathy nomination. You said the same thing last year and it you were wrong. Posted by Greg F on Tuesday, 01/31/2023 @ 14:29pm |

Looking over twitter and seeing missy stans posting about the nominations tomorrow, with some irritation about the impending and assumed snubs. Having just read about the time Playboi Carti stans leaked documents relating to Anthony Fantano's divorce cause he gave Carti a meh review I really do wonder if the Rock Hall is ready for modern stans being pissed at it. They got Em in last year so they avoided the wrath but this year with Missy and Destiny's Child I'm very curious what happens. Posted by Mat R on Tuesday, 01/31/2023 @ 23:46pm |

Whooaa the Actual NOMINEES for 2023 Have just been announced!! Posted by Ben on Wednesday, 02/1/2023 @ 08:18am |
So if Iron Maiden were inducted, what would their induction look like? I see a Radiohead-type induction where there's a video package, induction speech, and then some members of the band come up and say a few words. I don't see a performance happening considering Bruce Dickinson has been vocal about his distain for the Rock Hall in the past. They don't seem to want induction as much as Judas Priest did. Posted by Garrick on Monday, 03/13/2023 @ 08:37am |
Before the big reveal (they announce the newest Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees tomorrow morning), one final guess, from a far-from-an-expert, at the chances of each of the performer nominees (please forgive me if this seems like information we already know; this was for a Facebook post of music fans, not all of whom are experts--I mean this sincerely, I'm not trying to be facetious--like most of the posters here): Posted by Joe S. on Tuesday, 05/2/2023 @ 20:59pm |
