    About the 2026 Inductees, Bowie wrote:
    We still seriously need new blood in the Nom Com.

    The ideal scenario is for Questlove, Tom Morello, and Dave Grohl, who were once the "young guys" in the room, to become the new old guard, and then bring in people who genuinely understand younger culture to be part of the committee and have a dominant voice in it.

    They won't understand why Cocteau Twins and Slowdive have more audience than lots of once famous rawk acts in younger generation...

    About the 2026 Inductees, omar wrote:
    Tom Morello has quietly become the new Little Steven on the Rock Hall committee, seemingly able to push his preferred candidates easily.

    This year, he publicly supported Iron Maiden, Wu-Tang Clan, and Fela Kuti. It appears that he may have nominated Iron Maiden and Wu-Tang Clan, as both made it onto the ballot and were ultimately voted in.

    Because of this, it is definitely worth analyzing his potential influence and future moves.

    Acts he has previously openly supported for the Rock Hall:

    Jane's Addiction
    Sinéad O'Connor
    Thin Lizzy
    Motörhead
    Alice in Chains

    Acts that have a strong connection with Tom Morello, or that he has spoken highly of:

    Living Colour (Morello has said that Living Colour were pioneer who helped pave the way for RATM)
    Tool
    System of a Down
    Cypress Hill

    There may be other names worth considering, but these seem to be the most realistic candidates at the moment.

    About Rock Hall Projected, MichaelEU wrote:
    My thoughts about the side categories are ambivalent.

    I think that the Non-performers still have an amount of excellent names left (maybe not everyone who's currently nominated fits). There are so many influences that should be considered, and many weren't mentioned yet. No worries about both of these categories.

    It's the side performer category that's strange, for years now. I fully agree with Casper on this one. Maybe it's time to think about ME next year.

    No doubt that this year is big for Wu Tang
