Phil O'Keefe Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 You can check out the full list here: https://www.spin.com/2019/10/rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-2020-nominations-nine-inch-nails-soundgarden/ So... who would you vote for in this batch of nominees? Five to seven of them will be voted in, so feel free to list your favorite 5-7 nominees from the list of 16. I think I'd have to vote for Todd Rundgren (I'm a huge and longtime fan of his music and his production work), The Doobie Brothers, Pat Benatar, Whitney Houston, Thin Lizzy, Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk. It's a close call on several of them, and there's a few I didn't mention that I think are deserving of the honor too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doobies, Benetar, Priest, maybe Biggie. I have no idea who MC5 is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zig al-din Posted October 15, 2019 Members Share Posted October 15, 2019 I'd support Todd Rundgren 100%. Also Kraftwerk, Soundgarden, MC5, and TRex. Actually Kraftwerk is a bit of an odd choice. One of my favorite groups and hugely influential but in the electronic music category.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vito Corleone Posted October 15, 2019 Members Share Posted October 15, 2019 All of them probably deserve to get in eventually. Except maybe Thin Lizzy. For this go around? My 5-7: Todd Rundgren. Depeche Mode. Pat Benatar. Doobie Brothers. Kraftwerk Whitney Houston. Judas Priest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, if it's just based on popularity, their recorded output and overall talent, I'd have to agree with Rufus, Whitney, Kraftwerk and some of the others, in spite of the fact that they're really not rock acts. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV. True true, I always think of electronic as being a completely separate animal - more so than rap and R&B. Though rap especially has a lot of connections to electronic - what am I talking about? With quantizing and the click track, and the rest, everything is electronic nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vito Corleone Posted October 15, 2019 Members Share Posted October 15, 2019 The RRHF has long had a very broad definition of “rock”. I can’t even get worked up about that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members New Trail Posted October 15, 2019 Members Share Posted October 15, 2019 They're all worthy of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in my opinion. Todd should be in the Rock'n'Roll Genius Hall of Fame if there was such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
