| For contemporary rnb act, I would also guess likes of D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, TLC, who are cooler to voters will be voted in more smoothly than likes of Mariah Carey... Mary J has more rnb roots in her music and Sade has more artistry. They are definitely cooler and more attractive to voters and we know they are voted in over Mariah. Coolness definitely matters for non-rock musicians, especially for black musicians. | |

| Again, for rap acts, committee has to pivot acclaim over popularity/sales, only "popular" rap acts will not get the votes to be voted in. You can basically assume popular but not acclaimed rap acts as a weaker vision of Mariah Carey in induction chance, and many voters (not rap voters) will "meh" or even be pretty negative on them... Popularity will hurt them rather than help them in this case. Because many non-hip hop voters will feel that they are, too commercial, too pop-oriented more like entertainment products, lacking the status of serious artists. This won't be problem for corporate rock acts but unfortunately will be probably for rap acts for rock hall chance of being voted in. Acclaimed rap acts are more likely to make other voters (not just rap voters) say yes to them. This is the current politics... Rock hall has to push WuTang, Tribe... rather than likes of MC Hammer, DMX... Because latters are not going to be voted in. Just like New Edition/Mariah lost to Wu Tang Clan in official voters voting. | |

| Supertramp sold 70+ million. Meat Loaf -> 100 m. They are way above Frampton. Blue Oyster Cult -> 25m. Frampton -> 20m. There needs to be some logic behind these inductions. Yes, record sales are not everything, but still, 20m lifetime record sales is not impressive. Fluke one album wonders like Hootie and the Blowfish match / exceed that. Bush has 25m record sales and I don't think they are worthy. Collective Soul has 15m -> clearly not a strong contender. Live sold 20m and nobody mentions them. Black Crowes sold 30m. I'm down on their induction mostly because the Rock Hall skips 100m selling acts like Motley Crue, Scorpions, Coldplay, and Linkin Park for them. They are a filler band, but I'd select the best available and let the voters decide vs tilting the scales and adding junk candidates like Buckley (musical excellence only). Also, the idea that newly eligible acts can wait longer is going to backfire when these bands finally get in -> they will have broken up already and won't perform. Same mistakes are being repeated. | |

| On Peter Frampton, just because he is a low C-level act and made it does not mean other low-C level acts should make it also lol. The Hall made the moves they did because low-c level boomer rock acts like Peter Frampton, Joe Cocker, Bad Co (though they might be higher tbh, would have been B level if combined with Free) and similar making it in with no issue and taking all the induction spots, but so many higher level 80s/90s acts could not get in if not even get on the ballot at all. The last thing the Hall wants to do right now is induct more Peter Framptons | |

| Omar, My prediction for JD/NO The parties will not share a stage at any point. They will be introduced in succession but not share a stage. Whoever will induct them will go first with speech as usual. Peter Hook will give his acceptance speech. He will then lead a guest lineup to perform one and only one song. It will likely be a Joy Division song but could be New Order dependent on what songs they pick (if they are not performing Love Will Tear Us Apart for example the guest band will 100% perform it). Could be Transmission, lots of options New Order then will take stage to accept and perform 2-3 songs to finish the induction, from both New Order and Joy Division. Hall will likely pressure them to do hits like LWTUA, Blue Monday, Bizarre Love Triangle, etc. What I am really hoping and would pitch is at least one group performs Ceremony. If they only could perform one song I pick it would be this one. Even if it is not as huge as their other songs this is the bridge between the two bands as Joy Division wrote it and then New Order recorded it. | |

| Tom Petty solo makes zero sense. Various Heartbreakers contributed on virtually every song. David Bryne's solo career is trash. He plays 90% Talking Heads material on tour. The other Talking Heads members have more hits than him ("Genius of Love" is way bigger than anything he's done; "Rev it Up" did well in the 80s). Jack White is possible if he keeps going another 20+ years. I'm not a fan, but he is very active and well-liked. | |

| "As all four original members will be present in LA in November" A possible way is four original New Order members accept awards and give speech and watch guest musicians perform 2-3 joy division/new order songs. Any more guesses? I remember Alec t said another option, New Order performs new order songs and give speech and then Peter Hook performs Joy Division songs and give speech. I think if all show up, more likely will see guest musicians perform their songs. I am curious about if these four will stand together give their speeches or they give speech separately. | |

| If you look at the Peter Frampton nomination, there is no way you can deny huge acts with less relevance now like Meat Loaf, Supertramp, and Blue Oyster Cult (plus many more). They aren't nearly as popular as they used to be and still eclipse Frampton by a wide margin. I like Frampton a lot, but really he was done by 1981 as a star (Sgt Pepper movie accelerated his decline, but he had little to say (signed, sealed delivered cover was one of his singles in 77) -> his best album in the last 40 years was instrumental). The Humble Pie albums help his case, but he is a weaker candidate than many snubs. | |

| DMX is probably too homophobic to get nominated. He has very good metrics (sales, streaming numbers). LL Cool J has been an successful actor for so long that you really don't think of rap when you hear his name. But he was snubbed and a better candidate than many that got in way easier. I think they have to nominate Kanye in 2027. He is still massive although he has put out garbage for a long time. He is selling 80,000 tickets at SoFi and a top 20 Spotify artist. Plus, he will generate buzz / fan-vote and lead the nominee list on the news. Lil Wayne also has to be nominated. Big Pun is always overlooked, but he only has 1 album. Eve, Lil Kim, and TLC are decent female options. The female rap pool is very weak. | |

| The Rock Hall is going towards critical acts with at least some mainstream notability. The voters might not get that right away but the committee is. So for rap they HIGHLY regard critically received acts vs mainstream success acts, best if they intertwine of course. This is going for rock side too (see acts like Jeff Buckley being nominated, or Jd/No making it) but they had years of boomer rock acts where the defining trait was they had chart success so it does not feel as much just yet That matters less to new voters and committee members, especially those who are into rap enough to join an institution like this | |

| Rock hall still have bias toward guitar rock, and rightfully so because its name. So if you are not acclaimed well, badly acclaimed corporate rock will still easy to be voted in But for contemporary rnb/hop hop artists, if you don't make hugely acclaimed albums, you will not be treated as serious artists or just think your music don't have artistry or just is bubblegum and Walmart music. See every performer rap inductees, every single one of them have a level album in acclaim, popularity is not the most influential factor here. "Big names" like LL Cool J is not voted in using 6 tries despite having 8 top 10 hits, way more than a lot of rap performer inductees (wu, tribe, pe, nwa...) And with good acclaim, "big" act like Salt N Pepea and Queen Latifah even can't get nomination and can be inducted only by sidedoor. Also, see Mariah Carey, because unfair bias against her, despite her huge popularity, she still struggled. | |

| The hip hop pool is very very swallow now. Even if you count future eligibles like Kanye, Kendrick, Drake, probably there are still no more than 15 acts that are inductable for main entry in the foreseeable future. Hip hop act without good acclaim will definitely struggle, even if you are pretty popular, see LL Cool J... So likes of DMX won't be voted in even if he is nominated. I guess if rock hall skip potential FYE for Kanye, rock hall has to nominate one of DLS/Hill/Nas/Snoop Dogg/Dr. Dre. They have no choices now. | |

| K-DAWG Great to see your forum posts here on FRL. Respect your work here in the potential 2027 RRHOF Nominees. I agree on Mariah Carey. Can't understand why she has been unable to collect enough votes. They have a few choices with Mariah Carey. 1. Make a more clear lane for MC in 2027. Hold back on Alicia Keys & Beyonce until 2027-2028. Instead, bring Melissa Etheridge back and have The Bangles as a 1st nominee. 2. Have Mariah Carey & someone like Alicia Keys or Britney Spears nominated. Mariah Carey earns the induction anyway. 3. Wait on Mariah Carey 2027 NO nomination but nominate a sure fire candidate like Beyonce and have her inducted. Induct Mariah Carey 2028. I will put Mariah Carey on my list for 2027. You have a good early nomination with Motley Crue. There have been changes on the nomination board and things over the years. Maybe, Motley Crue will be given more of a push with Iron Maiden now inducted. Motley Crue moving up the board as 1 of the biggest snubs. They sure have the fame part down. Mick Mars, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Vince Neil easily can be picked and recognized by most rock/metal fans. Most music fans too. They have some memorable songs and sold millions of records over the years. My FAV Motley Crue songs would be Girl Don't Go Away Mad, Too Young To Fall In Love, Girls, Girls, Girls, Looks That Kill, Live Wire. Shout at The Devil is a Classic album. It was interesting having Motley Crue and Carrie Underwood singing with them. Would be easy for the Committee Lee, Mars, Neil, Sixx inducted. The core 4. It's a shame Meat Loaf died a few years ago. He could be present and vocal about his RRHOF candidacy. RRHOF probably looking for some quality Nominees in the 70's and 80's time frame. Meat Loaf had a few big time high selling albums. Agree on Bryan Adams and INXS. Both should be inducted soon. I remember both Adams and INXS growing up in the 1980's Bryan Adams 1 of my FAV artists. Reckless still in my Top 5 all-time albums. Sometimes #1 when I'm listening to Reckless. Every song could be a hit. Smashing Pumpkins easily could be a First Year Eligible Inductee. I agree on them as a nominee. I like the songs 1979 and Bullet With Butterfly Wings. Billy Corgan is a music genius. I was thinking B-52s would be given a bigger push. It doesn't appear the case. Will probably select DEVO as my nominee. Love The Guess Who early nomination. They have been gaining momentum last 5 years. The Guess Who still going strong. Love their songs. American Woman, No Time, Share The Land, Undun just timeless songs. I am debating putting them on my Final Nomination List or giving them 1 of the Special Awards. Plenty deserving for induction. Here's what an early KING 2027 Induction class could be. NO particular order. 1. Alice In Chains 2. Bryan Adams 3. Mariah Carey 4. Smashing Pumpkins 5. Diana Ross 6. INXS 7. DEVO 8. Dr. Dre KING | |

| Yeah. That one should be added, Timothy. The original idea for this project was that some of these Motown groups being basically in-service of the talents of Diana Ross or Smokey Robinson meant the stuff after didn't really matter but The Supremes made a lot of great (and popular) singles during Jean's time and she deserves to be added. I've put together two updates to this list in recent weeks and have a minor one played soon that will add some more names and a few corrections. Thank God it's getting a lot easier as the Hall moves to the 1980s and beyond as there's just far less lineup confusion as with a lot of these older acts. Yet they still dropped the ball with Pearl Jam. | |

| K-Dawg's Way Way Too Early 2027 Predictions 1. Mariah Carey - Getting this out there right off the bat. Put her in, and not by sidedooring. I don't know why the RRHOF is always so elitist on these pop/R&B chart toppers that undoubtedly changed the landscape. Madonna went in FYE 2. Boston - There are going to be some rock acts that still have merit, and they top the list. 3. Smashing Pumpkins - You got your Oasis. Now let's honor a band who truly changed the landscape and predated and endured grunge to become arguably the biggest group of the 90s 4. Motorhead - I'm not as big on them as some, but with Iron Maiden finally getting the nod, it seems Lemmy and crew are primed for the next run 5. TLC - T-Boz, Left Eye and Chili revolutionized the sound of the 90s 6. Motley Crue - I think there's a movement, with all the rock guys getting the nod, to put as many of their contemporaries in while the boomers are still kicking 7. Coldplay - I see them getting some attention 8. Bryan Adams - Phil Collins opened the door for rockers turned softer rock legends. People say he doesn't have influence...but "Summer of 69" is an anthem, and he broke hearts with "EVerything I Do" 9. Snoop Dogg - There will be debate, but I think Snoop gets a nod over Nas due to west coast ties. I'm not sure they want to do Dre solo, and I wouldn't fault them if they chose not to since he's in with NWA. Double noms are overrated, and honestly, you could even ME Dre for his producing. 10. INXS - There will be a couple repeat acts, and they do seem to have enough momentum from last year. I don't think the Smiths are gonna get mentioned this year 11. Shakira - I think she's also back. There won't be so much confusion. 12. New Edition - While the Hall can do a lot of damage control by electing them as a group, their performance in the fan vote sealed their repeat. 13. PJ Harvey - 90s women in rock are getting hit and miss all over the place, how about Polly Jean? She was a master of indie in the 90s. I keep thinking Tori Amos or Sarah McLachlan is gonna get some attention soon. 14. Phish - Jam bands are popular, and the trend seems to be to go after the 90s now. 15. Barry White - I think the voice of soul needs to be in. 16. The Guess Who - I always wish for the Monkees, but at least the Guess Who will win the rockists over 17. the B-52's - Influence, groundbreaking, pioneers. What more do they need? 18. Korn - Yeah, I have to throw one of my all-time faves in there, as a biased pick. Because they GOT THE LIFE! | |
