But LL Cool J, Dionne Warwick, Jimmy Buffet , MC5, Chaka Khan, still musicial excellence, I think it is more likely just error, not on purpose sneaky fix

So, in your opinion, at what level is an artist truly worthy of induction, at what level is it more of a "could go either way," and at what level should they not be inducted at all?

Oasis had concerts in Australia in Nov 7 and 8, don't know if this is the reason Oasis are snubbed again, they can not appear.

Zevon and Salt N pepa are very very deserving, but it is disrespectful. If rock hall just wants to put them regardless, why even needs the whole voting process. Just decided by nom com is enough

Fan vote winners were always classic rock acts or popular music stars, dmb and phish were only two exceptions (jam band), and not surprised they both struggle for first time

Richie, and his source/buddy (and/or Chris D) will be very pissed.

Most surprising part is influence. How Zevon is influence while Cocker is performer

Seems that part of my model is right

"Most nominated act" will be found a way to be put in

Not 100% sure about JDNO,

Could be positive vibes, could be Peter Hook just illusional, you know Peter Hook🤭

If New Order official account (not Peter Hook one) posts something, I think that will be probably done deal

Based on Idol interview recently, he haven't unofficially got the information whether or not he is in at that time

Outkast, Bad Company know already

Will see if we can get more hints before announcement

I think one of your top 8 will fail and one of your toss up will in

This is how performer inductees ended up in 23-24

I know they are lock in theory

But for true voting result, should be unchanged for a tong time

Probably already decided in late march...

Pretty sure the "insider" he mentioned is little steven

Little Steven told bad company "they are in"

The result has been probably decided long time ago

We just wait for some "hints" before Sunday

We just know Bad Company and Outkast are 100% in now

If "inside track" is "legal"?

This is the first time "inside track" is openly spoken in rock hall things

"Inside Track" is a known secret but I can not remember anyone openly mentions this

This guy knows nothing

Also, Phish sells a lot tickets in concerts, could see many industry people vote for Phish because Phish can make them money

Should be noted that Alan Light just said Cyndi was better candidate than b52, and did not compare with other new wave/alternative acts. Cyndi was not nominated as pop star, she was nominated as "female rocker" (she was in rotation with Pat B, Nicks... based on Alan Light's statement)

I know your meaning. But when talking about B52s nomination in 23, Alan Light basically said B52 had lots of momentum, but Cyndi Lauper was better candidate. Make me think nom com (not us) puts b52s in female rocker line (Light says gogos, pat b, cyndi, nicks, Eurythmics in rotation before)

B52s are more in line with Eurythmics, gogos, pat b, Cyndi than devo, jdno, duran duran, depeche mode in nom com's eyes

I miss Greg Harris videos

We have no nominees announcement video, which is sad

I feel they are more aligned with Cyndi Lauper

Alan Light mentioned something like B52 was hot in 23, but Cyndi Lauper..

So I think B52 were seen as female rock pick

Expect b52 will be nominated in 26

I feel it will be NY Dolls' year

Little Steven will def work for NY dolls first

If it is just coincidence that Chuck D posts "Congratulations Outkast" and then two interviews of Peter Hook are revealed in the same day? Probably rock hall decides to open the reuslt to inner circle yesterday?

Another interview with Peter Hook by ABC talking about rrhof.

Thoughts?

Result is probably already decided and leaked. Voting is operated by a third party website and anyone who has access should easily know the result already. But rock hall will still only email the inductees "officially" after voting ends as rcok hall must follow the "rules" and "procedures"

likely after 4.21

Yes, Outkast is a lock "in theory" and "in assumption", but Chuck D's tone feels like this is the "final result", not "assumption", that is different

I think rock hall will "official" email the inductees after 4.21, but "inner circle" people prob already know the result now. Still think the "hint" will after 4.21, because the result "could change" "in theory" until the last minute of voting

Think the performer inductees probably already are known in the "circle"
