They are right that Chaka has a better chance on her own. I love Chaka Khan but I am disappointed about Rufus since I think that Hawk Wolinski is also deserves being inducted. Steve Miller and Steve Miller Band were used interchangeably so I think there is a good chance that his band will be added. I didn't expect him on there for another couple of years. I am so sick with having them shoved down our throats. Ben, I was so hoping you were right about Chic. I am disgusted with one entry but other than that I have to say this is the first time I am happy with a ballot. Maybe they will come through with the Carter Family as early influence. They need to start putting in some folk and country. 5 r&b artist - they really are pushing it. We will all chat for sure.Īll I can say it's about fricking time. So sorry about Moody Blues Duran Duran ELO and Sade not on here. They were on my list early on a couple months ago. I will say that I like the Spinners quite a bit. Totally out of Left field is the Jb's and Los Lobos. I loved them a lot as a kid in the Mid 70s. He was on my list(Steve Miller Band actually} because he was key in the 70s. I had Steve Miller on my list but took them off. Some surprises for me are the Cars and Steve Miller. This does not mean that the Zombies, Monkees or Turtles never have a chance. I am aware that Chicago and Deep Purple formed in the 60s. The oldest acts here were popular in the 70s. I had hoped they Rock Hall would give up. The J Geils Band though is loved by Van Zant.Īs for Chic. The Moody Blues omission happens all the time even though I always Hope. Again it's early.īesides the Moody Blues omission there is No J Geils Band. That's half the Class I predict right Now. It's just that the Hall is slowly taking into account the 90s era. I also think Nine Inch Nails is a fair bet as an Inductee since they are the Only 90s act on the Ballot. I will predict them Right Now as an Inductee. I am so excited about Chicago being nominated. They packed arenas in the 70s almost as Much as Zeppelin. I will say right off the bat that I predict Yes for Induction. Since Chris Squire passed it was a fair bet they would be nominated. The Hall has taken Prog into account with Yes. Ok Philip, I think it was you among others that said 3 Prog acts was Unlikely. You know what I am disappointed once again that there is No Moody Blues. I am so very Glad Deep Purple and Yes are in. Also Deep Purple, Nine Inch Nails, N.W.A. Well there it is the 2016 Rock Hall nominees! I got some early thoughts on the 2016 Nominees.įor one thing I got 5 right. This is such a classic rock heavy ballot that I'm afraid they might get lost in the shuffle. I think maybe Steve Miller or Cheap Trick might sneak into the top 5 here.Īlso, just looking at the ballot, I don't like N.W.A.'s chances this year. I'm already calling who will be the top 5 fan votes this year: Chicago, Deep Purple, Yes, Janet Jackson, Nine Inch Nails. If inducted, is it only Steve Miller and not the bandmates? This seems similar to Stevie Ray Vaughan's nomination last year: how can you induct him without Double Trouble? Steve Miller without his band doesn't make much sense to me. I wonder if Chaka Khan's nomination this year is for her solo work or does that also include her work with Rufus (who were nominated back in 2012)? This needs to clarified by the Rock Hall.Īlso, the Rock Hall only lists Steve Miller and NOT the Steve Miller Band. No 1st-Ballot Nominees (Smashing Pumpkins?)Ģ Biggest Questions: Chaka Khan and Steve Miller Surprising 1st-Timers (Chicago, Janet Jackson, The Cars, Steve Miller, Cheap Trick) Maybe Stevie Van Zandt lobbied more for Cheap Trick) Gelis Band (Almost everyone pegged them to be nominated I'm stunned by this omission. Heavy Emphasis on Classic Rock (Chicago, Cheap Trick, Deep Purple, Yes, The Cars, Steve Miller) especially compared to last year's batch of nominees Chicago!!!!!! (Hell is freezing over at the Rock Hall and I'm happy) I'm so very happy Chicago finally appeared on the ballot they will easily take #1 on the fan vote and thus will probably be inducted this year. All the acts' popularities began in 1970s (Spinners were at their peak popularity in the early/mid 1970s). Just some early thoughts on the 2016 Nominees:Ībsolutely shocked how much the shakeup earlier in the summer really mattered for the 2016 nominations.
