My reasons for not supporting Janet’s induction do not only have to do with her exposure of various bodily organs, nor her lack of instrumentation in concert, but also the fact that so many of her so-called supporters had consistently voted against my favorite artists. Posted by Enigmaticus on Saturday, 06:12am Once again, here is my list with a few slight modifications and if you want to know my reasoning behind it, you will have to read several blogs. So, perhaps a hybrid of both lists is a good compromise. I also really like Charles Crossley Jr.’s list with the same possible exception. However, his list is missing Jethro Tull. Otherwise, I could vote for most of his list. Sorry, but playing a musical instrument and singing is paramount. I will definitely not support an artist who lip synchs, dances and exposes their breasts. So, who will the list of 2019 nominees be? I happen to believe that Alex Voltaire has really come up with a good list with one particular exception and we all know by now who that happens to be.

This year, among the Rock Hall critic community, the most popular predictions are the following artists (* = never been nominated): How much will the Nominating Committee draw from the freshest newly eligible artists? Or is there a name that has been kicking around for years that finally breaks through? It's the other half where things get interesting. Since the previously nominated group is much more finite, those tend to be the safer and easier predictions. The shortlist is typically made up of half new names and half artists who have been nominated before.
Every year the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ballot is somehow both predictable and surprising.
