Joy Division/ New Order isn't in? They helped influence and cultivate a genre though. And Kate Bush wasn't in either?

[Spider2024]

Damn good list. Not even one that I'd object to for enshrinement.

So I'll just say the 6 artists who I personally would pick for immediate induction:

Willie Nelson
George Michael
Soundgarden OR Iron Maiden OR RATM (really I'd love all 3 to be in, but I doubt more than one hard rock act will get in, knowing the R&RHOF )
Warren Zevon
A Tribe Called Quest
Cyndi Lauper (my ultimate dream is that on the same day as her R&RHOF induction announcement, WWE does the same thing, for the sake of the unique honor of anyone getting announced to 2 different halls of fame in the same day.)

Well with The Cure and Depeche Mode actually getting in maybe there’s some hope for Joy Division and New Order. Not holding my breath though, they shoulda been in ages ago. Would be cool to see Soundgarden, Kate Bush and Iron Maiden get in as well.

[salz4life]

I'd love to see Tribe get in! Loved them growing up.

[edgestar]

When I went last year, I voted for Poison, on the kiosk.

[Desi]

I want Missy and George Michael in there immediately.

Would also love Soundgarden and Joy Division/New Order in as well, but they'll probably stick to having one entry per genre (especially considering how diverse the choices are this year.)

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

Jesus Jones waits yet another year.

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

If there's anything good still left in the Hall, RATM will hopefully NEVER get in. f*** those talentless sacks of shit forever.

[Duke Cameron]

[4real]

Kate Bush
Iron Maiden
Soundgarden
George Michael
Joy Division/New Order
Rage Against The Machine

Very good list. Too early for White Stripes and I don’t want to feel old yet! Also nice to see a lot of Brits nominated and I’ve had to pick them. Maiden & New Order/Joy Division should have been in years ago.

I'm afraid to ask...what did they do? I'm not a fan...

For me, the whole night should be about Warren Zevon. Just like Letterman did.

[DiBiase is Good]

Finally George Michael gets a nomination. About bastard time!

[ace]

Kind of shocked Willie wasn’t in already.

[MiLB Fan]

I know FAN is dying to know who I voted for, so here ya go.

I said that about Iron Maiden and Cyndi Lauper. Having said that, there's not a lame duck in this batch of nominees, pretty much all of them deserve to be there.
