    About the 2026 Inductees, Casper wrote:
    Sadly, a big push for indie/pop/R&B on the ballot at the expense of guitar rock could theoretically be an opening for the committee to push whoever they want through of that ilk. If such voters are given just The Black Crowes and maybe another name or two, then Black Crowes will likely pile up a bunch of votes. This year they had Phil Collins (of Genesis), Billy Idol, Oasis, Joy Division, Iron Maiden, INXS and Jeff Buckley to split up their votes with.

    About the 2026 Inductees, Casper wrote:
    Eyeballing the Ballot Tracker and using common sense, I'd say the final results were:

    9. INXS
    10. Mariah Carey
    11. Lauryn Hill
    12. The Black Crowes
    13. New Edition
    13. Shakira
    14. P!nk
    15. Jeff Buckley
    16. Melissa Etheridge

    So in all likelihood, the top 3 would return and as many as the top 5 if they really go for broke with the returning names.

    - Shakira had to have had more support than P!nk given her bigger influence, stardom and resume. She led her in the ballot tracker, anyway.

    - Mariah Carey outperformed Lauryn Hill in the ballot tracker but this should come with the caveat that the Who Cares About The Rock Hall? podcast was way over-represented in the ballot tracker and the hosts constantly pushed people filling out their ballot to back Mariah. Still, while Hill is the more critically acclaimed, "cooler" option, I'd imagine some of the negativity towards her (showing up late to concerts, etc) and the short career put her a rung below.

    - The Black Crowes have to have done alright last year so this year I imagine there was still an old fogey voter base casting ballots for 'em.
