    I remember so many of his songs as a kid in the 60s+. He had a fantastic voice and in my mind he should definitely be in the rock and roll hall of fame.

    Omar,

    I'm not sure if you're predicting those guys are out, but I think Bryan Adams is a probable lock for next year. It makes all the sense after they put Phil Collins in. I think personally, he's more deserving than BIlly Idol. He was a huge heartthrob into the early 90s.

    I feel like Sheryl was the one who pushed Bad Company

    That's a band that while deservedly so got in at release with the help because they have so many industry and insider fans

    Honestly I am sorta surprised that Foreigner got in before them

    About the 2026 Inductees, omar wrote:
    I'm still not 100% convinced the Rock Hall is actually trying to make the ballot younger and move on from classic rock for good. Maybe this year they just decided to put classic rock on the back burner to make room for four third-time nominees (Iron Maiden, Oasis, Joy Division/New Order, and Mariah Carey). With those longtime snubs finally out of the way, I wouldn't be surprised if classic rock acts started showing up on the ballot again next year.

    I remember the 2023 ballot barely had any classic rock on it, aside from maybe Warren Zevon, who was more of a cult favorite from that era anyway. Some Hall watchers thought classic rock was pretty much done at that point, but then we got Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Joe Cocker, and Bad Company all getting in over the next two years.

    So 2027 is going to be a really interesting year to watch. Was this just a one-off year where they needed room for four third-time nominees, or is the Hall actually shifting toward artists who mean more to younger Gen Xers and millennials and starting to feel like they've done enough for classic rock?
