Stranger Things no doubt helped Kate Bush, but honestly she should have been nominated years ago. Better late than never. Happy to see Soundgarden nominated again. Surprised that The White Stripes made it the first year that they are eligible, but I think they deserve to get in. I'm actually pretty happy with the list, although The Monkees are snubbed again.

Warren Zevon deserves to get in I think.

He should've been. Listen to his live album "Stand in the Fire". That album rocks hard!

If he does get in, and he should, I'd be shocked if anyone other than David Letterman gave the introduction.
I mean he should get in on the line "A little old lady got mutilated late last night." alone.

She was. Last year, the year before that, and 2018. An induction is going to happen either this year, or not at all... though there's also the early influence/musical excellence categories, where the nominating committee can just decide to induct her even though she doesn't win the ballot votes. But her incredible success last year is a good predictor of getting in via the normal route, I think.
They've really long moved past inducting 60s acts now. Even the Spinners are much more retro than any other artist on the list. Unless a whole new TikTok subgenre suddenly spawns in the wake of the Monkees' influence (Nesmithcore, perhaps?) it's never happening. I personally don't have a problem with any of the acts nominated getting in, but if they induct the White Stripes it'd be literally two months after they first become eligible, which seems a little too early.
Stoked to see Missy Elliot on there, however. I'd say her chances are pretty solid, for a first-time nominee.

Play It All Night Long
Grandpa pissed his pants again
He don't give a damn
Brother Billy has both guns drawn
He ain't been right since Vietnam
"Sweet home Alabama"
Play that dead band's song
Turn those speakers up full blast
Play it all night long
Daddy's doing Sister Sally
Grandma's dying of cancer now
The cattle all have brucellosis
We'll get through somehow
"Sweet home Alabama"
Play that dead band's song
Turn those speakers up full blast
Play it all night long
I'm going down to the Dew Drop Inn
See if I can drink enough
There ain't much to country living
Sweat, piss, jizz and blood
"Sweet home Alabama"
Play that dead band's song
Turn those speakers up full blast
Play it all night long

I got a little misty reading that article. I remember watching that show when it was broadcast. I saw Warren a few times. The best was with X (with a very pregnant Exene) opening fairly early on. Both bands were fantastic. I need to remember "enjoy every sandwich" as my time is more finite than most. I've been living under a sword of Damocles for well over a decade. Haven't quit fighting but it's getting tougher every day.
Just tickles my balls!
With Depeche Mode, NIN and The Cure in there, it makes sense to let Joy Division and New Order in.

The Monkees should have been inducted 30 years ago when they were first eligible. It's a shame because 3/4 of them are gone and all four deserved to stand on stage together for an induction. There's still a lot of snobbery about them from the gatekeepers.

If it occurs or not, Sheryl Crow’s speech will be quite fascinating to watch. Especially as to whether Kevin Gilbert is mentioned at all.

I don't have any issue with Crow being inducted, but it does seem kind of random.

Glad RATM got in. Maiden and Soundgarden were again snubbed.

And I bet RATM won't even show up to their induction.

Why not? Tom Morello has sat on the nominating committee for the past nine years, so it's not like he has a problem with it. I think there's a great chance they show up and make a provocative theatrical statement with the international exposure the ceremony has.

The post they put up on their socials today acknowledging the band's induction seems to indicate that @botley is correct.

I wonder what will happen with Kate Bush's induction performance? She has a thing about very rarely playing live. Actually after reading this, she's done TV performances so she will probably perform

Kate Bush is awesome and I am glad that he is getting inducted. I'm glad that Stranger Things introduced her to a new audience.
Active Member
the bigger issue with her is flying/traveling/leaving the UK, so if they actually got her to Brooklyn that would be pretty impressive.
