When predicting the inductees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it’s helpful to imagine the actual induction ceremony. Below is a photo from the 2009 event in Cleveland. If the Rock Hall Voting Committee went the same direction as the voters in our poll, you would have a ceremony with Guns N’ Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, The Cure, and Heart. That looks more like a viable Lollapalooza lineup than a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Although that would be fantastic (and deserving), the Rock Hall typically ends up pleasing an older generation.
So, taking into account the gray-haired tuxedo crowd, Future Rock Legends predicts the five performer inductees for the 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class:
Votes are due December 5th, so the actual inductees should be announced shortly thereafter. In addition to the performer, the Rock Hall may announce inductees in the Non-Performer, Early Influence and/or Musical Excellence categories which are chosen by small sub-committees.The induction ceremony will be held in Cleveland’s Public Auditorium on April 14th, 2012.
