Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame 2019 nominees

Sex Pistols important due major influence to Punk.

 

Still no Iron Maiden, Harry Nilsson, Captain Beefheart.... It's just astounding. ASTOUNDING.

 

True...I just think his 10 years in Wings should be recognised, solo or as part of that band.

 

I would not be surprised to see Boz Scaggs nominated the next few years.
Overlooked.

 

But he is the best songwriter on the list by a wide margin.

 

Yea, but the HOF took care of it by inducting him in,
Taken care of

 

Prine is more than deserving.
He will be inducted under musical excellence

 

Will see those next few years.

 

I love their two albums and three hits, but that's not a large body of work, nor a particularly influential one.

 

your opinion:

more deserving than zevon?

 

Monkees first.

 

Ian Anderson considers this to be an American award, so he really doesn't care.

 

What does Radiohead and Roxy Music fall under? I'm not a prog guy so maybe I'm off base.

 

They should have been in way back when. Around the time The Yardbirds were inducted which was 1992 I believe.

 

If they're going to nominate Roxy Music they should also nominate Kate Bush. Both are one hit wonders in America. Actually, so is Kraftwerk. Of course, I've complained how the HOF always gave short shrift to groups that were a lot more successful at home than here.

 

Radiohead will be inducted.
Kraftwerk will prob. be passed due to the other artists on the roster.
Prob. get nominated again next year.
The HOF wants them in. They’ve been nominated before

 

Stevie Nicks' nomination reeks of behind the scenes machinations to boost sales for the new Fleetwood Mac tour. She's been eligible but never nominated for 12 years.

 

Well, at least Todd produced GFR, so there's that.

 

Kate Bush was nominated last year.
Surprised she wasn’t on this years list

 

And she will prob. win fan voting next to Jackson.
Both are shoe ins for induction

 

They didn't just put in Jeff Lynn with no ELO. No way Ian gets in without Martin and some dead bass players and disgruntled drummers.

 

Think since they showed up again this year,(nominated many times) the Hall will put them in.

 

The Cure for sure. I like DEVO too, but between the two, I would vote for The Cure

 

Their body of work encompasses more than the hits and Odyssey and Oracle.
They were very influential.
Pick up the Zombies Decca Stereo cd.

 

Are the Pet Shop Boys not rock & roll enough?

Shakin Stevens sold more U.K singles in the 80's than anyone else...maybe he's not cool enough.
