love to see The Moodies and Priest get in.

Dire Straits, Kate Bush among some others

Radiohead is likely a lock, and Bon Jovi may just be too popular to not get in (see Journey from last year).

[Crow]

Dire Straits please

[bl5150]

Dire Straits please

NO!  LL Cool J first     

[wolfking]

Yeah WTF, LL Cool J?!  Is that for his music or his work on NCIS?

[Mladen]

Depeche Mode
Dire Straits
Judas Priest
Radiohead

Cheering for these, personally.

[kaos2900]

If Priest and Bon Jovi don't get in this year I'll be shocked. LL Cool J will make it too.

[Samsara]

Bon Jovi and LL Cool J are locks.

i think Priest gets in too.

[Art]

Priest!!

[Stadler]

I just want to congratulate Radiohead on their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[RoeDent]

Now I'm not really a metal fan, but I am surprised at how few metal bands are in the RRHoF. I thought prog had it bad there until recently. But where's Motorhead? Maiden? Dream Theater?

[Stadler]

What I hope:
Bon Jovi
The Cars
Dire Straits
Eurythmics
Judas Priest
LL Cool J


What I know:
Kate Bush
Depeche Mode
Judas Priest
LL Cool J
Radiohead
Rage Against the Machine
Nina Simone

Gotta touch all the politically correct bases:   African American, CHECK!  Rap pioneer, CHECK!   Militant left flagbearers, CHECK!  Critical darlings, CHECK!

Maiden should have been in a long time ago. That being said, I wonder if they'd even show up for the ceremony if they were inducted. I could easily see them telling the hall to shove it up their ass' if they were.

[El Barto]

Dire Straights, LL Cool J, and Radiohead are locks. Priest stands no chance whatsoever. My hunch is that Bon Jovi, Rage, and either the Meters or The Zombies round out the inductees. Perhaps The Cars.

And as always, who gives a shit what those people think.

[El Barto]

Just once I'd like to see a band like Priest spend their entire 15 minutes reading RS's reviews of their albums. Priest never got more than 1* out of RS until Defenders.

I have this dream about getting up there and saying something like "Thank you, this is an honor.   No, seriously, you induct me and Green day, but Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, Robert Fripp, Steve Harris, Ronnie Dio, Bruce Fucking Dickinson, Ric Ocasek, Dave Murray, Phil Collins, Duran Duran, and Chris Cornell are not allowed in?  You should be ashamed of yourselves for how little you know about music."

[jingle.boy]

Well, at least I now have a list of bands I can use in Stadler's roulette.

that's kind of what Metallica and Hall and Oates did for Deep Purple and Todd Rundgren.

Purple is now finally in (long after the passing of Jon Lord pathetically), but Rundgren?
