2016 Rock n Roll Hall of Fame nominees.

[Vastardikai]

You should know the routine by now: Bold should go in, Italics likely will.

The Cars]- You might think I'm crazy, but Isee this band getting in.
Chic- they've been nominated every damned time I've posted this. Maybe Nile and company finally get in.
Chicago - Best Horn section in Rock should be a lock.
Cheap Trick - should go in, but won't this year.
Deep Purple - the fact they aren't in already is a travesty. Won't this year, either.
Janet Jackson - I'd be more surprised if she isn't inducted.
The J.B.'s - a bit of a dark horse, but James Brown's backing band deserves.
Chaka Khan - is more deserving than Ms. Jackson, but it's another one or the other, and Chaka loses.
Los Lobos - Another dark horse,but wouldn't be shocked.
Steve Miller - Great guitarist, but the Space Cowboy won't get in.
NIN - Gotta bring in those Gen Xers.
N.W.A. - Because of Straight Outta Compton.
The Smiths - Does angst better, but it's them or NIN, so they lose.
The Spinners - Another perrenial nomination, not their year here, either.
Yes It'll either be a prog rock band or a metal band. Not both.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Janet Jackson?

I can see why they'd induct Michael, but her?

[Sixx]

Ah, let's be real, that hall of fame has nothing to do with rock n roll anymore. If it ever did.

[Vastardikai]

The inductions were:

Chicago
Cheap Trick
Deep Purple (about time)
Steve Miller
and


N.W.A.

[The Condor]

Very underwhelming and hollow feeling with that list. Its... ok.

[Blonde Moment]

Given the choices its a good list might have replaced the NWA with the Smiths or Yes.
Just not sure NWA could be considered Rock in any way shape or form.

[The Condor]

It still chaps my ass that Pixies aren't in.

[Vastardikai]

Or Black Flag. Or Thin Lizzy. Or Maiden. Or Weird Al (for a novelty act, he's been more relevant for longer than most of the folks he parodies.)
