| FRL, Would it be possible to just combine the Miami Sound Machine and this page since several of the hits listed on this page too included Miami Sound Machine? She and Miami Sound Machine should be in. | |

| I'm honored to advocate for Scorpions 2026 Rock Hall Projected Class. 7 artists inducted soon. The Scorpions have an amazing and incredible longevity 60 years and have sold an outstanding 100 million + records in USA and Worldwide. It's amazing Scorpions became popular and successful considering they started in the mid to late 1960's and were from Germany. The Berlin Wall separating East and West Germany plus the anger, bitterness, and bad blood for Germany still boiled 20+ years after Hitler and World War 2. Different police agencies still actively searched for NAZI officers who had escaped justice. Several of these officers involved in the death camps where millions were killed. Scorpions would also need to sing in English to become popular and successful in the music business. Starting in kraut rock, Scorpions moved to a hard rock heavy metal in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Remember there was no American Idol, Star Search, The Voice etc when Scorpions started out in Germany mid to late 1960's. They would have to live and survive without a net. Incredible pressure for a young band. Especially if they were to succeed in America. Think of all the great bands from the mid to late 1960's and also the 1970's. Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, ELP, KISS, Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Hollies, The Who to name a few. Somehow, the Scorpions would eventually become popular and successful with most of the odds against them. Influences and Inspiration- Scorpions was cited as an influence or inspiration for many hard rock and metal bands. It's kind of a who's who list of great bands. Alice In Chains, Cinderella, Def Leppard, Guns N Roses, KISS, Megadeth, Motley Crue, Slayer, Smashing Pumpkins, Testament, Van Halen. SCORPIONS Festivals & Tours. Scorpions have been involved in many important festivals over their incredible 60 years. 1986 - Monster Of Rock Europe 1988 - Monster Of Rock Tour North America 1989 - Moscow Music Peace Festival 1990-1991 - Crazy World Tour 2017- 2020 - Crazy World Tour II SCORPIONS Achievements & Awards 2009 - Echo Awards Lifetime Achievement Award 2010 - World Music Awards Rock Legend Award 2010 - Inducted LA Star Hollywood Rock Walk 2012 - Medal Of Merit 2017 - Hall Of Heavy Metal History "Hall Of Fame" Inaugural class. 2017 - "Scorpions Day" OCT 6 in LA SCORPIONS Other Awards & Achievements 200 Gold, Platinum, and Multi Platinum certifications US/Worldwide 100+ million records sold US/Worldwide 14 million selling Single "Wind Of Change" Wind Of Change - Best German artist selling Single all-time VH1 - Ranked #46 VH1 Greatest Artists Of Hard Rock There's plenty more awards and achievements for Scorpions but this should be enough. Scorpions have an incredible longevity, influence on later Rock and metal bands, performed in important and notable concert tours, also popular and successful in America, Europe and especially native Germany. Many gold and platinum albums. Signature and Important songs. No One Like You, Rock You Like A Hurricane, Send Me An Angel, Still Loving You, The Zoo, Wind Of Change, etc. KING | |

| I could see them being inducted at some point. They've been an arena-touring act for a while and have a huge number of streaming listeners. They're also decently acclaimed (compared to, for example, Avril Lavigne), and Hayley Williams is a pretty well-recognized frontwoman. They also seem like a direct inspiration to the likes of Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish, that kind of mainstream female star who combines pop appeal with indie coolness. They definitely have a HOF-worthy career and will get in eventually. Hard to deny their resume. | |

My father passed away on August 28 at age 70. He had suffered from glioblastoma the last three years. What I remember about my father related to this subject was his knowledge and good ear of what he thought was important music and records. I would like to think that I received a fair amount of my knowledge and interest in these projects from my father. As I am sure many of you feel the same way. We will meet again dad, Lax43 | |

| My first lock for this year's ballot is John Denver because Soft Rock is one of the worst snubbed genres of both this and the actual Rock Hall of Fame and he is one of the most important artists of the 1970s and this genre. According to FRL, John Denver's big Hall of Fame indicators include: Rolling Stones Cover, Songwriters Hall of Fame, Grammy Hall of Fame single, and National Recording Registry. Many of his songs have also often been and continue to be included in films, television, video games, theme parks, stage musicals, commercials, and are even played played frequently at sporting events around the world. Before he started having his own hits in the 1970's, Peter, Paul, and Mary's folk version of Leaving on a Jet Plane from 1967 was released as a single in 1969 to become their biggest hit and their only #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His songs have also been covered by artists as varied as Olivia Newton-John, Toots and the Maytals, twice by Lana Del Ray, Swedish eurodance/pop band Rednex, Dolly Parton, Carly Rae Jepsen, Loretta Lynn, Christian group Point of Grace, and parodied by artists such as political satire group the Capitol Steps. In 2024, Take Me Home, Country Roads was interpolated in the song Lonely Road by Machine Gun Kelly and Jelly Roll. Besides Soft Rock, his influential music covers Country Rock, Pop Rock, Folk Rock, and even Opera (!) as well. He has written and recorded song classics including Leaving on a Jet Plane, Take Me Home, Country Roads, Rocky Mountain High, Sunshine on My Shoulders, Annie's Song, and Thank God I'm a Country Boy. He even wrote and recorded the duet Perhaps Love with opera legend Plácido Domingo in 1981. The success of this song paved the way for future opera collaborations with various types of rock artists such as Queen members Freddy Mercury's 1988 album Barcelona album with Montserrat Caballé and Andrea Bocelli's 2024 duet with Brian May on a live version of Who Wants to Live Forever as well as some of Bocelli's other collaborations with more recent rock artists such as Ed Sheeran and Gwen Stefani. Cover adaptations of his songs have charted and often hit #1 in countries throughout the world such as the Dutch group Hermes House Band's version of Country Roads reaching number one in Scotland and number one on the Irish Dance Chart, number two in Germany and Ireland, and the top 10 in Austria, Denmark, and the United Kingdom. His songs have also often been translated into other languages such as FInnish artists Freeman in 1976 and Ville Valo in 2016 adaptations of Annie's Song. Japanese artist Yōko Honna also sang an adapted Japanese version of Country Roads as the theme for 1995 Studio Ghibli film Whisper of the Heart. | |

| I'm advocating for John Denver who tragically died in an airplane crash Oct 1997 he was piloting. He cannot speak for himself. Only 53 when he died in Monterey Bay, California. John Denver's popularity and success in the 1970's and 1980's is a testament of his creativity, energy, and music talent. A truly American story. Denver's country and folk songs still resonate today played on the radio, at football stadiums, weddings, and through new artists covering his songs. John Denver was born in Roswell New Mexico 1943 and started getting some notice in the 60's folk group The Mitchell Trio and later in Denver, Boise, & Johnson. Denver penned the Big hit Leaving On A Jet Plane which was a big hit for Peter, Paul, and Mary in 1969. Denver started as solo artist in 1969 as the 1970's would become a golden decade for him. John Denver had incredible success in the 1970's and into the early 1980's. An amazing 34 Adult Contemporary Chart hits, 18 Top 10 Hits and 9 #1 Hits. 4 #1 Hits on the Billboard 100 and 7 Top 10 Hits Billboard 100. #1 Hits like Take Me Home Country Roads and Rocky Mountain High are like state anthems in Colorado and West Virginia. Denver had 20 Gold Album verifications and sold around 34 or 35 million records just in the United States. An estimated 100 million albums and records combining the US Sales and the global worldwide purchases of Denver's albums. Denver's musical talent and influence stretched into the 2000's even after his death. A Tribute To John Denver (2013) album charted highest Country (12), Folk (3), and Rock (10). Many popular and successful artists sang on the album. Brandi Carlile, Dave Matthews, Emmylou Harris, Evan Dando (The Lemonheads), Mary Chapin Carpenter, My Morning Jacket, Train etc. Artists of different genres and styles who contributed to the John Denver tribute album. JOHN Denver seemed to be everywhere in the 1970's and early 1980's.... Acting, Music TV Specials, concerts, new albums, etc. He had sort of a backlash that happened to Lionel Richie and Phil Collins. Artists who were very successful and seemed to be everywhere. Lionel Richie and Phil Collins have recently been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. People realized the great musicians and talents they are. The yellowing of time and years gives music fans and others a different perspective. John Denver deserves the same consideration. He had chart success, influence, popularity, a decent longevity. Influencing many country and folk artists. He also championed important environmental causes in the 1970's before it was "cool" and "chic" to do. John Denver stood up for artists and musicians in 1985 during the PMRC Committee hearings. These warning labels put on CD's and records could hurt or restrict artists ability to make money and earn a living. Now it's time to stand up for John Denver. Each FRL Regular and New Voter has 10 votes. I think 1 vote could go to John Denver. It's like John Denver has never died as musicians continue to cover his songs. Paying tribute to him. KING | |

| Definitely getting my vote: Billie Eilish Joe Cocker Drake Shakira Arctic Monkeys Lana Del Rey Under consideration: Muse Luther Vandross Cocteau Twins St. Vincent Blink-182 D'Angelo Amy Winehouse Usher No Doubt Selena Gang Of Four Phish Dr. Dre Lucinda Williams Bad Bunny Probably not: Gary Numan / Tubeway Army John Denver Charli XCX Gordon Lightfoot Robyn Scorpions The Cranberries Britney Spears Grace Jones Billie Eilish and Joe Cocker are my absolute yeses from this list. Kinda surprised there's not more support for Drake, considering the level of success and acclaim he's had over the last 15+ years. Shakira is so massive internationally that I can't leave her off. And Arctic Monkeys and Lana Del Rey feel to me like artists whose influence will still be felt 20 years from now. Very open to hearing arguments from everyone on the others. | |

| Kenny Rogers should be considered more seriously for the Rock Hall, right? Don't talk about "musical excellence," because that is really subjective (I don't like his music either). His achievements should make him a no-brainer HOFer. He is a respected icon and basically a white Lionel Richie. The sales, hits, fame, and respect are all there, and he is not "too country," as he was also adult contemporary and soft rock, so he should be crossover enough. Again, if you induct Lionel Richie, then Kenny Rogers should definitely be on the table. He was one of the most remembered music icons of the 80s and was more connected to rock than many other more country-specific artists. If you consider him rock-adjacent, he is definitely one of the two most recognizable MTV-era 80s stars that not in, alongside Bryan Adams, and you don't have many remaining picks when looking for 80s icons who still resonate today. | |

| I'd say the Backstreet Boys are in the upper tier of eligible pop acts. They're not the first boy band, but they're the first one most people think of. They've got 2 super-famous songs, amazing sales numbers, they're still an arena level act, and in terms of global impact, the current k-pop music industry definitely took some notes from the 90s boy band boom they spearheaded. | |

| My locks for this year's ballot Billie Eilish: One of the defining pop artists of her generation and very worthy of being a first-ballot inductee in this project. Dr. Dre: Arguably the biggest snub from the hip-hop world who isn't already in this project as a performer. The Chronic alone makes a strong case for his induction. Joe Cocker: One of rock and roll's most distinctive singers, with a career that lasted longer than most of his contemporaries. He's also one of the few artists who's in the actual Rock Hall but not ours. Lana Del Rey: A distinctive singer-songwriter who's been hugely influential on modern alternative and pop music. She bridges the gap between both worlds and should do really well with our voters. Luther Vandross: One of R&B's greatest singers and arguably the biggest post-'70s R&B artist we haven't inducted. Also, see Cocker: he's in the actual Rock Hall and should probably be in ours too. No Doubt: Helped propel Gwen Stefani to superstardom and had tons of success crossing between alternative rock and pop. If you want to see more '90s and '00s alternative acts get in, you should probably vote for No Doubt and clear a lane on next year's ballot. These are the 6 performers I'll be voting for. The others I am open to hearing cases from the rest. I'm leaning towards the following thou: Arctic Monkeys, Britney Spears, Charli XCX, Drake, Gang of Four, Gordon Lightfoot, Muse, Robyn, Scorpions, Selena, Shakira. For the other categories, sans Side Performers, here's one person I am voting for and hope others consider: Non- Performer - Jimmy Webb: simply one of the greatest songwriters of all time. He wrote "Wichita Lineman," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "MacArthur Pack," "Up, Up and Away," "The Highwaymen" among others. Also, a songwriter with name recognition and longevity and I think both matter here. He seems forgotten here for some reason and yet was voted in round 1 of voting this year. Should get in this year. Influences - Johnnie Ray: my ride-or-die pick for this category each year and he seems to always get enough votes to be on the ballot but never enough to make the Final Cut. Let's change that. He was one of the biggest pop stars of the early 1950s and an important bridge between traditional pop and rock and roll. His emotional, highly physical singing style helped pave the way for the rock vocalists and teen idols who followed. | |

Phish Billie Eilish (I feel like she doesn't need my vote.) Charli XCX (I still want to give it a few more years to see how things go for her.

| Even though I didn't nominate him (although I was about to), I'm gonna make the case for D'Angelo: The Revisited/Projected projects has a serious lack of Neo-Soul representation in here. And D'Angelo is THE perfect artist to rectify this. People credit him as the architect of the Neo-Soul subgenre with his eclectic influences. While he only released 3 albums, but all 3 of them are 10/10 records. Especially "Voodoo", which in my opinion is one of the top 25 best albums of all time. | |

| I'd like to second the push for the Cocteau Twins, who don't always get credit for how groundbreaking they were in using the guitar as an instrument of texture and atmosphere over more recognizable chords and riffs. Basically ground zero for dream pop, ethereal wave, and everything that followed, including laying down the foundation for shoegaze. One of our biggest snubs, IMO, and growing bigger all the time. My Performer locks: 1. Blink-182 2. Cocteau Twins 3. Dr. Dre 4. Gang of Four 5. Gary Numan/Tubeway Army 6. Scorpions 7. Selena I'm probably going to go with the Arctic Monkeys and Lana Del Rey for 2 of the remaining 3 slots, and leaning towards considering Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears, Drake, Gordon Lightfoot, Luther Vandross, Phish, and Shakira for my final pick, but I'm open to any strong arguments anyone wants to make for any of the remaining candidates. | |

Like Kate Bush, it looks like their influence is becoming more and more obvious with each passing year, especially with current music style trends. The current bedroom pop/indie pop aesthetic is pretty much inspired by Cocteau Twins' atmosphere and ambiguous style. Though they did not have a commercial breakthrough when they were still active, as they were signed to the truly indie and experimental label 4AD, their music is now becoming more and more popular with each passing year, or even each passing month. Their monthly Spotify listener numbers went up from like 4.5M earlier this year to 6.1M now (even better than some somewhat "bigger" names from a similar era, for example... Meat Loaf and Styx), which is a very, very fast increase. There are always new people getting into them. And yeah, I think with the current trend, and with potentially multiple other songs being mined from deep cuts on their albums and becoming popular on TikTok (I do think it is likely, as they don't rely on singles and especially have a deep album catalogue), they may eventually have more than 10M monthly listeners at some point and, of course, will no longer be a no-ID band that people don't see as a HOFer (of course boomers and a bit of early Gen X people won't care, their knowledge is limited to just rock radio, but eventually younger people are getting into the Rock Hall voting party, and Cocteau Twins are becoming bigger and bigger among them every day). There is a need to induct Cocteau Twins into this project, as they are important to music evolution, and their importance is becoming clearer and clearer, while even popularity is finally coming to them. They definitely have a HOF resume and are the single biggest 80s alternative snub here. | |

| MichaelEU - I don't have the numbers for previous nominations for the other three categories, but by my count (which hasn't been double-checked in years, but is updated consistently), this is nomination #7 for No Doubt and #3 for Joe Cocker. | |
