  lc,

Out of the acts who missed out on induction this year for 2024 (Mariah Carey, Eric B. & Rakim, Jane's Addiction, Lenny Kravitz, Oasis, Sinead O'Connor and Sade), Which ones do you see coming back and getting nominated/inducted next year for 2025 or soon/eventually?.

Family and camp got pissed by the Kate Bush disaster,

some nom com members as well
(Ms.Bush never got support from most voters,
90% past inductees do not know her,
some nom com members also were very dismissive about the "induct who somebody want" strategy)

So it is an embarrassing situation for both sides (rock hall and family or camp). Contentions still exist in both sides.

See my posts in Steve Hoffman Forum under username Poseidon,
I think I have explanation this topic.

My percentage is pretty accurate I believe.

As for you question,
it is almost useless

My list is given to you already
This is most likely scenario in next year

Yes, I believe you what you said on the Steve Hoffman Forums using username Poseidon is true and You are real information source. You are right again this year. Anyway, Which acts do you think have the biggest beneficiary of the acts getting in this year (Mary J. Blige, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & The Gang, Ozzy Osbourne, A Tribe Called Quest, Jimmy Buffett, MC5, Dionne Warwick, Alexis Korner, John Mayall and Big Mama Thornton) next year for 2025?.

I said on the Steve Hoffman Forum under the username Poseidon that
only the top 5 of the vote are based on actual voting results.

So ATCQ, Cher, Kool, and Mary are the top 4.
Foreigner is likely to have made it to #5 through money (just like I said on the Steve Hoffman Forum).

I wouldn't rule out DMB, Peter Frampton, and Ozzy using weighted votes like last year.

After #5, it's all weighted votes rather than actual voting results.

This aligns with the message I posted on the Steve Hoffman Forum using the username Poseidon.

Yes, I believe that you are accurate, but I have to tell you two things: Nominating committee member Alan Light said on Tony Kiriluk (aka Shrek on here)'s Road To Jamnation podcast last year that 7 is now the target number for Performer inductees, not 5, Also, He said on his podcast Sound Up with Mark Goodman regarding this year's inductions that he was told that the 6th, 7th and 8th place finishers were all within a few votes of each other so the Rock Hall put them all in. He also heard there was more distance between 8th and 9th place than 1st and 8th. So I believe that you are still accurate and I should see your accuracy, and You will continue to make accurate predictions, and I believe that Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Soundgarden, Thin Lizzy, Alanis Morissette and Devo all have a chance of getting in if on the ballot next year.

  I love Luther! The nominal leader of the 80's R&B romanticists…Peabo Bryson, James Ingram, Freddie Jackson. Interesting that people are predicting him as an easy entry next year, but Sade would've been dead last this year. They shared air space on Quiet Storm radio. I guess the men will always have it easier. *Side eyeing the campaigns to acknowledge ATCQ, EB&R and others but ignoring Queen Latifah and Salt n Pepa….*

The argument against him and his progenies and his female counterparts though (ie. Anita Baker) is that they glossed over the conventional soul traditions of the 60's and commercialized R&B in a way that wouldn't sit well with rock purists. Ie. David Foster-style overproduction, melodrama, bombast etc. But his style was a necessary stepping stone to the Babyface era and the Neo soul movement of the late 90's when R&B abandoned melodies for glacial tempos and introspective lyrics. I would've thought the Hall would just altogether skip the Luthers and Anitas to go straight for the Maxwells and Erykahs since Neo soul aligns more with their taste…

  Two inductee deaths were announced in the same day! Richard Tandy of ELO and Duane Eddy. One closer to the original rock and roll, and the other coming from a part of its eternal evolution. This means one name is added, as most of 2017 is still alive, and one is removed, as most of 1994 is dead.

Of the 12 living inductees from 1994, half of them are members of Grateful Dead.

So far Richard Tandy, Duane Eddy, Mike Pinder, Dickey Betts, Denny Lane and Henry Farmborough have died since the ceremony, a very small amount compared to previous years. This class is probably too big for a tribute performance.

Living members of classes where a minority, half, or none of the inductees are still alive:

1986: 0. They're dead, Jim.
1987: 2/26 (Smokey Robinson and Mike Stroller)
1988: 8/25 (Berry Gordy Jr., Diana Ross, Paul McCartney, Ringo Star, Bob Dylan, Al Jardine, Mike Love, and Brian Wilson)

1991: 5/21 (Chris Hillman, Roger McGuinn, Richard A. Brooks, Jerry Butler, Fred Cash)
1992: 11/30 (Steve Cropper, Booker T. Jones, Ernie Isley, Ronald Isley, Chris Jasper, Sam Moore, Eric Clapton, Chris Dreja, Jim McCarty, Jimmy Page and Paul Samwell-Smith)
1993: 14/28 (Eric Clapton, Doug "Cosmo" Clifford, Stu Cook, John Fogerty, John Densmore, Robby Krieger, Jimmy Merchant, Herman Santiago, Gregg Errico, Larry Graham, Jerry Martini, Freddie Stone, Rosie Stone, and Sly Stone)
1994: 12/29 (Eric Burdon, Allen Price, John Steel, Garth Hudson, Elton John, Tom Constanten, Donna Godchaux, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, and Rod Stewart)
1995: 11/25 (Al Green, Jai "Jaimoe" Johanny Johanson, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Rosalind Ashford, Betty Kelly, Lois Reeves, Martha Reeves, Annette Sterling, and Neil Young)

2012: 26/70 (Bobby Jones, Sonny Curtis, Billy Davis, Lawson Smith, Claudette Rogers Robinson, Mike D, Ad-Rock, Donovan, Steven Adler, Duff McKagen, Dizzy Reed, Axl Rose, Slash, Matt Sorum, Izzy Stradlin, Flea, John Frusciante, Jack Irons, Anthony Kiedis, Josh Klinghoffer, Cliff Martinez, Chad Smith, Kenny Jones, Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, and Glyn Johns.)

Yes, I will trust in you, You really have a correct information source and You can guarantee to me that your information source is true, Anyway, May I ask you the following questions:

1. What are your early predictions for the 2025 nominees/inductees (If 8 inductees again)?.

2. Out of the acts who missed out on induction this year for 2024, Who do you think have the best chances at induction next year for 2025?.

3. Which acts do you think have the biggest beneficiary of the acts getting in this year for 2024 (Mary J. Blige, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & The Gang, Ozzy Osbourne, A Tribe Called Quest, Jimmy Buffett, MC5, Dionne Warwick, Alexis Korner, John Mayall and Big Mama Thornton) next year for 2025?.

Laura Nyro should be a lot higher (somewhere between 120 - 130). She was the type of singer/songwriter who pioneered the quirky female singer/songwriter trope that paved the way for Kate, Tori, Bjork, Fiona, Joanna Newsom, etc. Her late 60s / early 70s albums (specifically New York Tendaberry) were way ahead of their time with the artsy, unconventional approach towards songwriting.

  Someone posted on Facebook, that everyone assumed Mariah Carey had the votes. So many voters felt they would use their vote to help someone else.

Mariah Carey must have personally rejected the award
to give Mary J Blige full light.

Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz and Eric B &Rakim are #9-#11 respectively.

  Bill Wyman is a blithering idiot. That being said, everyone has their opinions. I posted my list in order a couple years back and if I still have it somewhere I may reedit it to include acts listed since I put it out. However, I never claim to make it THE LIST. Some of his choices, particularly acts like Rush, Queen, and Whitney Houston near the bottom? And people like Laura Nyro and Randy freakin Newman so high are laughable. He did get Stevie Nicks mostly right, though (as a SOLO artist--she's indispensable with Fleetwood Mac)

  Lenny Kravitz is probably the next Soundgarden, most people thought would be surefire FYN before but finally struggles.

I think I have expressed my opinion many times that these two artitsts are somewhat similar.

  They are OK was hard to put a group group into the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame when 95% of their catalog was covered tongs. I hate to disappoint fanny fans, but that's reality cover band. Don't make it to the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame record sales, audience attendance is majority of the concept of rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame even though one of the band members of Fanny was sleeping with David Bowie that doesn't make them eligible for the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame my opinion
