Again, going to go bold with the ones I think will go in, italicize the ones I think SHOULD.
Nine Inch Nails: Fan vote has them higher than everyone else. Will likely be the one "Industrial" band going in.
Stevie Ray Vaughn: Should go in, amazing guitarist.
Kraftwerk: Not a fan, but they are influential. I can see them getting snubbed.
Green Day: No. Just no. But will go in. Fun fact, Black Flag, still 0 nominations.
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts: Absolutely should, and just might. But much of her success came on her own terms, so probably won't.
Bill Withers: Amazing singer, should go in. For some reason isn't and likely won't make it this year, either.
Lou Reed: I don't like to speak ill of the dead, but this guy was overrated as a musician. I only know of one solo song of his, and it's meh. But he's a critical darling and is, and as thus a lock.
The Smiths: I am not a fan, but they accomplished quite a bit in their short time. I'd say they're significant enough to go in. Plus, seeing as how Morrissey is sick, I can see the Rock Hall giving them the sympathy vote.
Sting: I can believe it, but his solo stuff was mostly boring. Doesn't deserve it, but will likely get it.
Paul Butterfield Blues Band: These guys can't catch a break.
Chic: See Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Only difference being that I would like them to go in.
W.A.R.: I like "Lowrider" as much as the next guy, but I don't see it.
N.W.A.: Not a rock band, but they are influential and as such, I can see them going in.
The Spinners: Not familiar with them off-hand. Could get in, but not this year.
The Marvelettes: I've seen them at least once, but not likely this year, either.
Nine Inch Nails: Fan vote has them higher than everyone else. Will likely be the one "Industrial" band going in.
