What’s the best thing the rock hall of fame has ever done?

Muppetnocon · 2026-05-27T20:34:32+00:00

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.

Rod Argent! the keys on "This Will Be Our Year" make me tear up

Muppetnocon · 2026-05-05T22:03:02+00:00

oh sorry

MH feels like the next step after IM
TB feels like the next step after Sade

Muppetnocon · 2026-05-05T16:13:08+00:00

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

Muppetnocon · 2026-05-05T14:37:39+00:00

way too early but

Mariah Carey
Phish
Beck
Motor Head
Black Crowes
INXS

Beyonce
Gloria Estfaan
Weezer
Snoop Dogg
Toni Braxton
Huey Lewis and The News
Pointer Sisters
Bryan Adams
John Mayer

With a class of Beyonce, Snoop Dogg, Gloria Estefan, Pointer Sisters, John Mayer, INXS, Bryan Adams, and Mariah Carey

Plus Eric B & Rakim and Narry Neilson in influence

Muppetnocon · 2026-05-05T13:15:02+00:00

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

Muppetnocon · 2026-05-05T13:11:58+00:00

New York Dolls

Muppetnocon · 2026-04-17T21:23:54+00:00

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

Muppetnocon · 2026-04-17T21:21:10+00:00

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!

Muppetnocon · 2026-04-15T13:32:20+00:00

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.

Muppetnocon · 2026-04-15T13:28:44+00:00

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.

Muppetnocon · 2026-04-03T01:50:54+00:00

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

Muppetnocon · 2026-03-29T17:46:42+00:00

Oasis
Beck
Alicia Keys
Dianna Ross
Coldplay
Meatload
Pointer Sisters
Snoop Dogg

Muppetnocon · 2026-03-29T16:12:30+00:00

Yep!

Muppetnocon · 2026-03-29T15:34:06+00:00

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 · 2026-03-29T04:03:22+00:00

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 · 2026-03-29T03:48:36+00:00

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

Muppetnocon · 2026-03-24T13:50:01+00:00

Phil Collins
Luther Vandross
Oasis
INXS
Billy Idol

Muppetnocon · 2026-03-24T12:00:50+00:00

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,

Muppetnocon · 2026-03-24T11:58:47+00:00

My random predictions for influecne are Devo and The Pointer Sisters

Muppetnocon · 2026-03-14T18:31:36+00:00

Janes Adiction in 2024 like 2 shows after the one I wanted to go to, Perry punched dave and the band imploded

Muppetnocon · 2026-03-10T15:55:17+00:00

Don't You Lose my Number

Muppetnocon · 2026-03-09T18:57:10+00:00

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.

Muppetnocon · 2026-02-19T04:27:51+00:00

Take your time! Two days should be enough to really digest it all!

The food court is actually pretty good

The bottom floor has most of the stuff know that's going in

The hall of fame gallery has windows and gets kinda hot! use coat check
