I mean give it to Phish obviously. I wasn’t expecting to see them actually get nominated, I’d kinda assumed they’d be one of those forever ignored acts, so I wouldnt be too shocked if they got snubbed. They do already have a little spot in the HOF museum so perhaps it was an inevitability. They’d definitely be fun to have at the induction ceremony.

Oasis will probably get in cus they’re having a reunion tour and thats just good publicity.
Joy Division/New Order seem like a no-brainer too.
White Stripes and Soundgarden seem like inevitable inclusions but they could get in any future year and it wouldn’t really make a difference.

The Black Crowes do not deserve to get in, neither do Bad Company. Either could do it just cus they have some popularity but I’d rank them near the bottom of the nominations.

Outkast are not rock, but they’re great so sure why not.

Cyndi Lauper would be a laughable inclusion. I’m no Mariah Carey fan either but she makes more sense than Cyndi.

I have no opinion of Joe Cocker or Billy Idol other than their hits are good and I don’t know much else they’ve done.

Chubby Checker I guess is fine, have they really used up all the early rock and roll artists that Chubby is the only one left?

Never heard of Mana, give me a recommendation to check out if you know them.
