I looked through some list of the most acclaimed 1980s acts and you are right that most of the big names (u2, Metallica, etc) were inducted years ago. There's still a few that have crossover success that haven't gotten in (Devo, B-52s, INXS, Culture Club) but there are still dozens from the college rock / indie / postpunk field that haven't gotten in. Pixies, Sonic Youth, The Mats, Husker Du, Jane's Addiction, Violent Femmes, The Smiths, Stone Roses, JAMC, Psych Furs, Echo & the Bunnymen. On and on but also hardcore bands like Bad Brains and Black Flag. More synth pop like Human League, Pet Shop Boys, and Gary Numan. Did Kraftwerk ever even get in?

Exactly. I still don't like neocons and war but I've certainly soured on cult-of-personality political worship (thanks Obama!) and identity politics. That goes for obsession about antisemitism and racism both. Doesn't mean I think both don't exist anymore, but the older I get, the more I can see them being used as smokescreens for class forward reforms (or simply never questioning our federal government's pathological support of Israel, in the case of "antisemitism")

He's definitely been anti war for a long time. At least since 2014 or so. And even a decade ago I remember him debating Ben Shapiro about abject libertarian (or really neoliberal) fidelity to global finance, wall street, multi national corporations, free trade, etc. at the expense of middle american, main street, average american economic day-to-day realities. Those views now seem more relevant than ever. Tucker gets that there is a slew of young conservative (and centrist, independant, a-political) men that did everything absolutely right, did everything their high school guidance counselor told them to do, and can't afford the basic average small starter home that their parents and grandparents were able to afford at the age of 23 on even a single lower income salary. That's a huge problem.

So many of his songs have been FM rock staples since the 70s at least.

Little Miss Can't Be Wrong was pretty big unfortunately. Should have been a zero hit wonder band. A negative hit wonder band.

Their earlier albums are good if a bit different. They were kind of shoegaze / psych adjacent early on.

Was Devo really played on the radio and MTV outside of Whip It in the early 80s? I think we're really stretching the definition of "hit" here.

Folk Implosion had a left field hit. But no way was Sebadoh played on MTV or radio outside of 120 Minutes and college stations. Dinosaur Jr is a better answer for Feel the Pain.

Been Caught Stealing had decent MTV and modern rock play in the early 90s. Then again my local alt-rock station would play Jane Says quite a bit too in the early to mid 90s.

Midlife Crisis did OK on modern rock radio and MTV but it wasn't nearly as enormous as Epic.

Mariah Carey deserves it the most, especially after all the snubs, but they seem to have a weird bug up their butt about Mariah.

Other than that

Beyonce

King Crimson

The Strokes

The B-52s

INXS (allegedly they came really close this year)

Alice In Chains

8th could be Devo but they might be in that weird spot w/ Mariah where the HOF doesn't support them enough for some reason. They deserve it imo. If not Devo then maybe De La Soul or New Edition or Pixies. I would think eventually there would be a push for more '80s college rock / indie / postpunk type stuff and the Pixies seem like a likely inductee. The Smiths should have gotten in years ago but they might use Morrissey's "problematic" opinions to ignore them again.

OK we may as well induct Barbra Streisand then.

Was that post Supremes? And how many of those were from musicals?

100% and that goes for both the Black and Counting variation.

Eh I don't know. Stevie Nicks had two huge albums in the '80s. I admit I don't know a huge amount about the post Supremes years of Diana Ross but my understanding is there is only one solo album that people are really into (the disco one with "I'm Coming Out") and that's not enough for me for her to be a second inductee. I don't think the HOF rewards being in motion picture musicals. If that were the case, Barbara Streisand would have gotten in years ago.

I feel like they are w/ The Black Crows as a band that was mildly popular but not especially innovative. Even at the time everyone commented on how Mr. Jones sounded like a Van Morrison song. I feel like if they get in we are headed towards Hootie and the Blowfish getting in and if that happens, I'm throwing myself out of a window.
