    If you are doing to use a side category on Metal then use it on Ronnie James Dio or Steve Vai or Cozy Powell or Steppenwolf

    Maybe Zakk Wylde if it's not too early

    Or they could fill a Alice in Chains as metal adjacent pick on ballot similar to Soundgarden in 2025 and just early influence motorhead.

    I think they will rest Mariah from the ballot

    Especially with Beyonce being a likely FYI

    Also hopefully they don't rest Metal from the ballot despite finally putting Iron Maiden in

    Nina Simone was the last jazz artist to be inducted, and even she had strong ties to gospel and R&B. So the last "pure" jazz inductee was Miles Davis, 20 years ago. There have also been a few jazz artists inducted in the Early Influence category.

    Maybe John Coltrane and Herbie Hancock still have a chance, possibly through the Musical Influence category instead. But I don't think John McLaughlin or Pat Metheny will ever be seriously considered, despite their importance in jazz and fusion. I also think Allan Holdsworth has been hugely influential on later generations of guitarists, but I doubt he'll ever be considered either.

    I remember Questlove mentioning Ornette Coleman at some point, but it feels like that ship has sailed?
