| Not competition, boomers have to now vote for acts beyond 70s AOR. It is preventing more d-list boomer acts getting inducted while everyone is laughing at Rock Hall for not inducting Iron Maiden yet. That was what 2024-2025 was | |

| We have to reach a point in the future (probably in 2030s) that most rock picks on the ballot are modern rock (90/00s) acts, and probably nominates 6-8 modern rock acts each year, and probably 1-2 ealier snub (mainly 80s early new wave/alternative pioneers), others are rap/pop/rnb stars... | |

| Yeah, richie I remember Black Crowes performed in 2024 IHeartRadio Music Festival and then they were nominated for two classes consecutively Weezer are serious candidate now, and could definitely earn a nomination next year since biggest target Oasis were included. Problem is will they be too young or nerd for voters (will they be surefire FYN) Bryan Adams also performed in same festival in 2025, and was probably put aside because of Phil Collins, looking like he is near a nomination as well 2023 Lenny Kravitz performed as well and then earned nomination in 2024, of course Mariah Carey performed in 2025 Also, need to mention that the Offsprings performed in 2025, they may be next pop punk act nominated and inducted. Goo Goo Dolls look like long shot as of now but may be inducted in future due to their revived relevance in younger generations | |

| As a Dayton, Ohio native, I grew up listening to The Ohio Players. Their musical influences are widely known. They influenced Rock N Roll in the early 70's, The Players should definitely be acknowledged and recognized for their musical accomplishments with a place in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame !!! | |

| Probably very niche by today's RnB standards in the Hall, but maybe in a really down RnB year maybe he's considered for the Disney stuff. Peabo Bryson might be worth looking at more so after Celine Dion (if ever nom'd), since by that time, most of his contemporaries would likely been added. But I'd argue if there was a similar idea to the Pro Football's Hall of Very Good, Peabo Bryson would likely be on the list after a Luther type. Not a super notable career outside of Disney, but wasn't a nobody. Enjoy the final magic carpet ride, Peabo Bryson. | |

| I think that the next 90's Rock/Alternative act that should be inducted next is Beck, because he has been previously nominated before in 2022, so I think that gives him the edge over Alice In Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, Bjork, Alanis Morissette, No Doubt, Blink-182, etc. | |

| Only rock act that I feel may be nominated in first eligible year is The Killers, but I don't feel it is guaranteed. If Coldplay, Linkin Park are not nominated that soon, then I feel the Killers may have to wait for several years as well. And for modern rock acts, if you are not nominated very soon, then you will wait in the line to hear you names called. And 90-00s alternative/indie logjam is becoming increasingly large every passing year. It is still tough sell to voters. Need 2-3 modern rock (adjacent) acts included every year. | |

| Black Crowes definitely is not a good pick, regardless of what you think... For example, acts like Cocteau Twins are a bigger deal than Crowes to younger generations of musicians, and Cocteau Twins sold less than 500k albums, while Crowes sold 40 times more, but still have a lot fewer streaming numbers. This shows that the importance of Black Crowes is not that great. I don't give a shit about "streaming numbers" either because most people listen to Spotify without really searching for music by themselves and just get caught by designed algorithms, but it still shows that Black Crowes are not really cared about by younger generations anymore. Regardless, no younger generation of musicians really cares about how many albums you sold, how many hits you have, or your streaming data... Really, people reiterating "album sales" and "popularity" are almost always just fans of 80s-90s white corporate rock, and they are just repeating themselves again and again. One last time, if you just reiterate "sales", "charts", and "numbers", then there is no need for a committee at all, and you can just induct artists based on the data list one by one. It will become laughable for everyone except, again, white corporate rock fans, who want every white act they enjoyed that had some hits and some album sales included. | |
