| I have to say, first off, how ecstatic I am right now. I've participated in this project for a few years now, and I've never had a nominee make the ballot before this year. To get two of my idols--Amy Winehouse and Selena--on the ballot and both be the top vote-getters for those rounds, I'm simply over the moon. With that said, I'm gonna go a little further left this time and nominate Os Mutantes, another absolutely criminal oversight that should definitely be corrected. | |

| I'm replacing my nomination (Robert Palmer) with Tom Jones. Iconic musician who has shockingly rarely if ever come up but is definitely worthy of consideration. | |

| If Rock Hall does it right just like this year, next year's inductees should be: Beyonce (Most influential 00s pop star) Mariah Carey (Single most influential 90s R&B/pop star) Kanye West (Single most influential eligible hip-hop artist) Coldplay (Single biggest modern rock act not in) The Monkees (Single most influential 60s/70s rock act that is not in, and the only Monkees really changed the pop trend among the remaining oldies rock acts not in) The Smiths (Single most important alternative/indie band not in, their relevance and influence are increasing with each passing year) Diana Ross (Single most influential old icon that should be in) And then an 80s non-indie pick like Tears for Fears, INXS, Bryan Adams, The B-52's, Devo, Mötley Crüe, New Edition, Motörhead, or they could push a 90s alternative act like Beck, Björk, Alice in Chains, or Smashing Pumpkins, or another 90e black act like Lauryn Hill, TLC. That would complement this class very well from different perspectives of benefits. | |

| This class, both nominees and inductees, definitely seems to have revived public interest in the Rock Hall. Fan vote engagement this year is crazy, with nearly 10M total fan votes, a bit more than in recent classes. And the discussion here is way more heated than during the 2025 round, both during the nominees period and the long inductees period. | |

| Late to the party. Am I the only one who feels that the 2026 class kind of has a resetting the board feel that previous classes don't have? This is the class we induct: Phil Collins (single most influential MTV era icon not in) Iron Maiden (biggest and most influential metal act that was not in) Joy Division/New Order (most influential alternative/indie act that was not in at the time) Oasis (the biggest 90s rock act not in, and currently neck and neck with Coldplay as one of the biggest bands in the world) Sade (one of two biggest remaining names in the 80s R&B world that are not inducted, kind of the start of the neo soul scene) Luther Vandross (the other biggest name in the 80s R&B world not in, almost every other R&B name in the 80s was not more impactful than Sade or Luther Vandross) Wu Tang Clan (the most influential 90s hip hop act that is not in) Considering their importance to the shape and sound of music evolution, Billy Idol seems to be the weaker one, but he is not a slouch either. He is another one of the rare MTV stars that has enough of a persuasive case to be in. Of course, he is weaker than Cyndi Lauper/George Michael, but he, along with Bryan Adams, is of course a bit better than lower tier MTV era stars like Ricky Springfield, Eddie Money, etc. He is also still pretty respected by the new generation of musicians and fans, unlike lower tier MTV stars who have been forgotten by younger generations. So Billy Idol has constant popularity and relevance, which elevates his profile and makes him a not bad inductee. | |

| Covid-19 really delayed Billy Idol's induction for several years. Billy Idol was originally supposed to appear at the planned 2020 class ceremony (and induct T. Rex?), so if that's the case, he is definitely very likely to be nominated in 2021, since he made an impression on a committee member who would have watched the ceremony from under the stage. Even if he failed the first time, he could definitely return to the ballot pretty soon and, of course, use 2–3 rounds to be voted in, so he would of course be voted in before 2026. | |

They were not the biggest "nu-metal" band at the time, but now it is becoming obvious that they are the biggest and most influential name in that lane. They should be in. | |

So … WHY HASN'T SMOKEY BEEN INDUCTED AS A MEMBER OF THE MIRACLES ? CURTIS MAYFIELD is in….as a member of THE IMPRESSIONS and SOLO. TINA TURNER has been inducted TWICE…with IKE and SOLO. Each individual member of THE BEATLES has gone in TWICE… So…why has SMOKEY only gone in ONCE ? | |

The Rock Hall ignores so many 50s/60s stars and greats who inspired everyone, but just wants to be hip and sell tickets to younger people? They still need to play catch-up, as there are still 50+ earlier snubs easily. It's very shocking and insulting that people here said older rock is done. Please make justice. | |

| Some throw Chubby Checker around as an anomaly. Likewise, Joe Cocker. The committee is all over the map at the moment. I don't think we're completely done with acts from "way before". The reason I think you shouldn't/can't have a eligibility year window is simple. Since they first started the RRHOF, it's been a hodgepodge set by different minds. This same thing happened in baseball and it's kind of ruined it because of grandstanding and limiting; people who arguably should be there as they are a part of the history aren't, for various reasons, yet you can't go back and retroactively reset the rules. The RRHOF is much the same way. I think it's better to have overrepresentation than under. The Monkees are always my personal pet project of the oldest bands, but Tommy James, Jethro Tull...the list is infinite. You'll never satisfy everyone, but it probably at this point isn't the "ultimate honor" that it might have been even 20 years ago | |

| Matthew, Re TJ&Shondells, I think there influence might be strongest with "Mirage". It is basically a blueprint for the Cars and a lot of 70's/80's synth bands. Plus they had a big garage rock hit ("Hanky Panky") and psychedelic hits ("Crimson & Clover", "Crystal BLue PErsuasion"). They were sufficiently respected to have been invited to play Woodstock. Too bad they passed, otherwise I think they would be in. Side note, Tommy James has credibility as a producer/writr with Alive and Kicking. And no less than Bob Dylan heaped prsie on "I'm Alive", a James composition performed by Johnny Thunder. They belong. | |
