I’ve always assumed that the people who vote for these things are the same Rolling Stone magazine types who seem to think that music peaked at the British Invasion. As far as the metal and alternative genres are concerned, until they run out of 60’s and FM radio favorites, I would only expect the definitive big name groups to get it. So Black Sabbath is in, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for Rainbow, Judas Priest or Iron Maiden (hell, they didn’t induct Deep Purple until two years ago). Metallica is in, but don’t expect Megadeth or Slayer. Green Day is in, but don’t expect Hüsker Dü or The Replacements. Nirvana is in, but don’t expect The Pixies or Dinosaur Jr. They’ve got Sex Pistols, Ramones and The Clash in, but I’d be surprised to see any of the hardcore groups that followed. Bands that mostly use synthesizers seem to get no love from the Hall, so good luck next time Kraftwerk!
Would be nice to see The Cure make it as maybe it would open the door for other alternative/indie/post-punk groups, I’d say they’re a lot more influential than some of the stuff that has been going in as of late.

I hope The Smiths get in one day. Just for the likely insanity that would be Morrissey's speech.

These are the 2019 Inductees
The Cure Def Leppard Janet Jackson Radiohead Roxy Music Stevie Nicks The Zombies
Pretty good class. I hope Radiohead shows up. Def Leppard will likely close the show though.

This has been my favorite class of inductees in a long time. The only one I don’t really care for is Def Leppard but I understand their influence.

I honestly thought The Zombies were going to be a longshot compared to some of the other nominees. Not saying they're not deserving but I saw a few others getting in instead of them.
Janet Jackson or Def Leppard could be considered the "headliner."

I knew MC5 wouldn't get in. They seem to be a band that have a hardcore niche audience. Happy RatM didn't get in. Went back and listened to all their albums recently and there was maybe 4 songs I enjoyed.
Have The Pixies ever been on the ballot? The huge amount of artists they influenced should have got them in years ago.

Def Leppard will likely close the show though. Glad The Zombies got in. Def Leppard shouldn't get in just for writing one of the worst songs of all-time (Pour Some Sugar on Me). Radiohead is the most boring band on the planet. I will stand by that opinion until I die. Janet Jackson shouldn't be in. Basically, I'm really bitter that Devo didn't get in.

As overplayed as "Pour Some Sugar On Me" is, it's still a classic and catchy anthem that you can't help but sing along to. When you have songs like "Photograph", "Love Bites", "Bringing On The Heartbreak", "Too Late For Love", "Women", "Hysteria", "Animal", "Two Steps Behind", "When Love and Hate Collide", and my favorite ballad by them "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad" clearly outweighs "Pour Some Sugar On Me". Def Leppard definitely deserves to be in as they have some classic albums and amazing songs on those as well.

I probably should've clarified that I love Def Leppard, but holy hell do I hate that song.

Nice to see The Cure and Roxy Music get in. Hopefully this means similar groups can get start getting in now.
