Barbara Mandrell - Nope. There really isn't anything to her to make her noticeable to the Hall. She's not a Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash or a Waylon Jennings where they are a very important figure.
Paul Anka - Performer (no), MI/ME (Very borderline yes) I could see a ME/MI as he existed alongside acts like Sinatra, Sedaka, etc, and was an influence on singer-songwriters, but Neil Sedaka should be first. Having wrote the the lyrics of "My Way" help, but he's hurt by one of his number one being "(You're) Having My Baby", one of least popular of the 70s.
David Foster - MI/ME for sure, or yes. He's probably going to have to wait until post Mariah induction, but after that, it's a clear and done for Foster. Working with acts like Chicago to Mariah and producing every genre at some point. Would imagine within like five years after Mariah induction.
General Vote:
Aphrodite's Child - 666 (1972)
Erasure - The Circus (1988)
The Blue Nile - A Walk Across the Rooftops (1984) (I went and looked, and this album was nominated in December last year for a year vote, but it wasn't included in the nominees during the vote. I feel it deserves a shot here.)
