To the Duran Duran fan base, I think that your favorite band willīe the next prog band to get into the Rock Hall. Thank you to all of the prog fan bases, especially to the fan bases of The Moody Blues, Rush, Duran Duran and Yes. Geddy, Alex and Neil, please get ready to prepare your induction speeches. The Moody Blues were a huge influence on Rush, please take the time to make the necessary corrections! Now please listen to me, editors of Wikipedia and Allmusic Guide. I think that it is only appropriate for their disciples, Rush to induct their musical fathers. Well, congratulations are definitely in order for Rush’s biggest influence, the founding fathers of our favorite genre, prog, The Moody Blues. I think if they or someone like the Fifth Dimension were nominated, they'd fare a lot better.Įurythmics and Depeche Mode will get in sometime soon too, but I think the nom com is gonna go with Kraftwerk once more and once they're in, I think DM & Eurythmics will have an easier time. The Meters and Rufus with Chaka Khan, as great as they are, just don't have the name recognition or longstanding radio airplay as an act like Kool and the Gang or The Commodores do. They, along with Judas Priest, Rage, and LL Cool J probably have the best shots if nominated again next year. Radiohead not getting in is a big surprise, but they'll probably get in soon. Sister Rosetta Tharpe is one of the best choices for the EI category. Nina Simone is a great pick whose spotlight grew in the past few years. The Moody Blues were long considered one of the biggest snubs. Ric Ocasek is another name that just screams "rock and roll hall of famer."īon Jovi is too big to ignore. all consider him a peer of theirs, its not surprising that his band got in. Mark Knopfler is a guitar idol, and if the likes of Clapton, Collins, Sting, etc. I had predicted Dire Straits at the beginning of this year before they were nominated. A lot of these names should've gotten inducted 10-15 years ago. This year, like the past few years, are the Hall trying to play catch up.

I think its a pretty good class, although the stubbornness of the hall to induct 5 and only 5 is such a headache.
