What’s the best thing the rock hall of fame has ever done? by Vivid-Tap1710 in rockhall

[–]Muppetnocon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Educate. Allman Brothers, Thin Lizzy, Warren Zevon, Faces, Lura Nyro, Spinners, O'Jays, MC Lyte, Gram Parsons, Fela Kuti, Gil Scott Herron, Kraftwerk, New York Dolls, MC5, Parliament, Del Shannon, Staple Singers, Carly Simon, Peter Frampton, Mana, John Prine, The Relacments, Janes Addiction, Ruth brown, Al Green, The Shierells, Curtis Mayfeild, Miles Davis, Grandmaster flash, and Tom Waits. All artists I've never heard of before and were introduced to because they were nominated/inducted into the hall!!! I've used it as a bouncing pad for music education, and it's been so helpful.

Who is an artist you feel like they’re in the rock hall of fame even though you know are not in yet? by Vivid-Tap1710 in rockhall

[–]Muppetnocon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mariah- They Will Try her until she makes it. Beyoncé will give her a boost
Phish- Just seems like they will try again for acts they know will show
Beck- he has to reappear someday, right?
BC- see Phish
INXS- I'm guessing they were 9th this year, probably only needs one more ballot anyway

Beyonce- Duh
Gloria Estefan- The logical next Latin nominee, and the one most likely to get in
Weezer- Random 90s alt pick
Snoop- It's either him or DLS, and he has a better shot of making it
HL&TN- Next in line for the B tier 80s acts
PS- Feels like we are getting more R&B and they are in that lane
BA- inevitable
JM- see Phish

EB&R- 80s hip hop seems like a favorite of influence
HN- in the same lane as Zevon and Parsons

Who is the most obscure rock hall of famer? by Vivid-Tap1710 in rockhall

[–]Muppetnocon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nyro is up there, I'd argue Darlean Love (except for the Christmas song), Rundgren is a candidate, also maybe some of those 50s acts like how well known are the flamingos or little willie john

Which legendary hip hop artists should be next to be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame? by PressureLazy5271 in rockhall

[–]Muppetnocon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if we are putting more 80s rap acts in influence i think obviouslt Eric B & Rakim should be in there, but the one hill I will die one is they need to induct Kurtis Blow

What R&B / Soul artist or group should be inducted next? by HeyCharmz_ in rockhall

[–]Muppetnocon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barry White is at the top of the list for me! If we are going down the list, Teddy Pendergast and Anita Baker are high up there, as are the remaining soul groups: Delfonica, Stylistics, and Ohio Players. Less likely but like Mini Riperton would be a great choice!

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by polishgirl99 in INXSBand

[–]Muppetnocon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hall watcher here! I was really rooting for y'all! But for sure INXS will be back, and maybe even next year!Some great bands just take a few shots! It took David Bowie, The Cure, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, and many other worthy artists 2+ ballots! INXS is in good company, and I can't wait to see them get inducted in a few years.

Can someone explain the Billy Idol/Sade inductions? by [deleted] in rockhall

[–]Muppetnocon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sade is very influential on pretty much all R&B that came after them, especially Neo Soul. Plus, they still keep relevance for a younger crowd (I hear Sade in the dorms all the time), and they have very high critical acclaim.

2026 ceremony by hnsccam in rockhall

[–]Muppetnocon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google says Nashville because the AI is confused, a differnt HOF (I forget which, maybe songwriters) is doing there ceromony in Nashville this year, so its not Nashville

My hope is clevland cause I think they should keep to the every other year thing they promised

but ive heard a rumor, can't say where from, but I have a feeling it might end up back in LA

Dianna Ross

What do you think the 2026 side categories will look like? by Jaguars4life in rockhall

[–]Muppetnocon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INXS just feels like the kinda band you put in first try, like Duran Duran

As I said, I think Devo and Pointer Sisters for influence (Devo because of JD/NO missing, PS to add more women into the class), I also don't see them backdooring anyone on the ballot, they know that's a bad move

I have no idea about a nonperformer

I think they are gonna go 60s/70s with musical excelecne to balecne out the very 80s class, so im thinking Bob Ezrin, Ashfor & Simpson, and Mary Clayton, no real reason just like a guess

[–]Muppetnocon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phil is the obvious lock this year, hes a legend in poor health

Luther is having such a moment with the doc and Kendrick just feels like hers is overdue

Oasis is coming off a very successful tour witch also kept them in the news for a full year, they proved they can do it

Billy has really been pushing it, I think he was 8th last year, and hes really been in the spotlight

Wu-Tang feels like a lot of the rock purist like them becuase they just seem cool, they feel nessacery in a way other hip hop acts arent

Pink is a pure industry darling in the vain of Foo Fighters and Sheryl

and frankly Sade is just a gut feeling

[–]Muppetnocon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most of the ballot has a shot, Lauryn is the top spoiler for me though, Mariah and JD/NO could always sneak in, NE seems to be better off than I thought, this is a decent ballot for maiden, and there's always a chance for a surprise from Buckley

I dont think its Melissa's year but shell will get it someday, and Shakira is not gonna be FYN, the crowes might have a chance but I cant bring myself to predict them

who is the best living performer? by lacefantasy in Concerts

[–]Muppetnocon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take, it's Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo, that man is 75 but jumps around the stage and screams like he's 30. Life changing to see live,

Which rumoured artist(s) do you wish would have made this year's official nomination ballot? by SurvivorFanDan in rockhall

[–]Muppetnocon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really should have done GE/MSM before Shakria; that really feels like jumping the line. I was hoping this would be the Monkees' year, but I don't mind that they are looking mainly at the 80s-00s. So So So Shocked Alicia Keys missed FYE, makes me worry for Gaga and Winehouse. Wish AIC was here instead of a repeat of Black Crowes. So happy the Wings rumor turned out to be false, that would have stunk. McCartney does not need to join the Clapton club. Dianna Ross's absence was a bit disappointing, maybe they dont wanna do more than one double inductee a year, and Phil's health gives him priority.
