Need to get this out of way. As I say every year. It is not the Rock and Roll Fame and has not been for a long long time now. It is the Hall of Fame of acts since rock was born. There are many deserving acts that it is a crime they are not nominated or in. Either you boycott the whole thing or make the best of it. That is up to you. I choose to deal with the hand I got.
Strong group.
The only it is crime if he got in for me is George Michael.
Automatic votes for me.
Kate Bush - I hope all the long long overdue recognition she got due to 'Running Up The Hill' being used on
Stranger Things puts her in.
Iron Maiden - If you want to show newbies what Heavy Metal sounds like you just can't do better.
Joy Division/New Order - If I had that choice I would vote for Joy Division solo the definitive post-punk act. If I had that choice I would vote for New Order solo. Maybe more than anybody they made electronica an acceptable pop music genre. 'Blue Monday' is the definitive synth-pop song. As a combination vote they can't lose, can they?
Willie Nelson - The Ambassador for Southern Rock. And man, the guy was a master with a fiddle.
Rage Against the Machine - During a slacker era they kept it political and are still an inspiration for activist groups. And they did not sound like the alt-rock acts they were grouped with.
Soundgarden - In the pantheon of the early '90s Seattle grunge/alternative rock explosion they are usually ranked third in importance behind Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Can't argue with that. No disrespect to those other guys but Soundgarden was a better group full stop.
The Spinners - A key bridge between soul and disco.
The White Stripes - An important part of the "post-punk revival" of the early '00s.
There is a problem you only get 5 votes and I listed 8. But that is not really a problem. To get into any Hall of Fame you should be more than very good.
