The ballot discourse has already begun on our site https://futurerocklegends.com/2025_Nominees/

Also want to put a reminder to all Rock Hall watchers: this is the first year that official ballots would be through an online link and not on paper ballots.

Considering that almost half of the nominees are from the 50s/60s, how much do you think will it affect their chances?

Should the repeat nominees be inducted this year, this is who would remain from the 2020-2024 ballots:

Beck
Devo
Eric B. & Rakim
Fela Kuti
Iron Maiden
Jane's Addiction
Lenny Kravitz
Motorhead
New York Dolls
Thin Lizzy
Warren Zevon

(and, of course, Rufus since only Chaka was inducted)

caspery.bsky.social•16 days ago

Expectations are high for a Maiden sidedoor this year and potentially New York Dolls as well. Fela Kuti would also make a great side category inductee.

That leaves us with a pretty damn small list which is indicative of the Hall recycling the same names over-and-over until they're shoved in.

2016-2019:

Bad Brains
The J.B.'s
J. Geils Band
Joe Tex
John Prine
Los Lobos
The Meters
Steppenwolf

(also Chic but Niles was inducted)

No Iron Maiden again.
Fuck the Rock Hall.

truthministry.bsky.social•16 days ago

Bad Company
The Black Crowes
Chubby Checker
Joe Cocker
New Order
Soundgarden

Finally! Rock n Roll!!!

(* Oasis. No. *)

And also, remember that article from months ago about the Hall needs to induct more Spanish-speaking artists?

Didn’t expect the Hall would nominate Mana.

msantlerqueen.bsky.social•16 days ago

I knew that once I stopped predicting OutKast, they will eventually get nominated.

racermetrics.bsky.social•16 days ago

Besides the extremely male ballot, LOTS of weird category oversights this time: no pure R&B, no metal, no real singer-songwriter, which are all things you'd normally expect.

racermetrics.bsky.social•16 days ago

I get shifting away from indie since it's probably not viable, but then they did go underground with Mana when there were probably other more viable Hispanic nominees, and sort of with Phish (although maybe they are the most prominent jam band not in).

xtitan92.bsky.social•16 days ago

I shocked they went with Mana before nominating Selena or giving Los Lobos another chance.

poptodd.bsky.social•16 days ago

How is Chubby Checker not already in?

tonykiriluk.bsky.social•16 days ago

Can’t get voted in if you’re never nominated.

poptodd.bsky.social•16 days ago

And... how the hell did that happen?!

caspery.bsky.social•16 days ago

Eddie Trunk can at least fill out a hard rock ballot even if there’s no metal to be found (still think Maiden ME induction is forthcoming)

Bad Company, The Black Crowes, Billy Idol, Soundgarden, White Stripes

racermetrics.bsky.social•16 days ago

Well, they vote for 7 so I guess he vote for Cocker and then either Oasis or Phish.

caspery.bsky.social•16 days ago

Good point!

caspery.bsky.social•16 days ago

I see four locks: Bad Company, Billy Idol, Cyndi Lauper and OutKast.

I see five competing for slots #5-8: Joy Division-New Order, Mariah Carey, Oasis, Soundgarden, White Stripes

I see five hopeless candidacies: Black Crowes, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Mana, Phish
