Tina's not already in?
Tapestry kicked ass, and King wrote many of the bedrock songs of Rock and Roll.
Todd Rundgren belongs given the influence he had and collaborations with many already in.
JayZ
and whomever Jann Wenner wants.

The Go-Go's - No, hall of very good, maybe
Iron Maiden - Yes
Jay-Z - Not my thing but, yes
Chaka Khan - No
Carole King - She isn't already in?
Fela Kuti - No
LL Cool J - No
New York Dolls - No, influential at the time but not much of a career
Rage Against The Machine - Yes
Todd Rundgren - Can go either way on this, might be this year's Wenner Special
Tina Turner - Another one who isn't already in? Really?
Dionne Warwick - No

Put Motorhead, Little Feat and Warren Zevon in you cowards!!!!!

 

Hang on, DMB got more than 1 million fan votes in 2020 but didn’t get in. Now they aren’t even eligible in 2021?

And where the hell is Jimmy Buffett?

 

Tina Turner and Carole King are already in, but not as individuals.

 

He's strumming a six-string, on his front porch swing looking for his lost shaker of salt.

 

First of all, if Oasis isn't nominated then the process is a joke.

Next ...

Mary J. Blige -- meh
Kate Bush -- meh
Devo -- of fucking course
Foo Fighters -- I guess
The Go-Go's -- of course
Iron Maiden -- of course
Jay-Z -- of course
Chaka Khan -- I'd have to do more research on her entire body
Carole King -- sure
Fela Kuti -- don't know who this is
LL Cool J -- of fucking course
New York Dolls -- don't know much about
Rage Against The Machine -- probably
Todd Rundgren -- yes
Tina Turner -- of fucking course
Dionne Warwick -- see: Tina Turner

 

Foo Fighters, Rage and Iron Maiden all seem like "slam dunk" picks, between their styles of music and the name of said Hall of Fame, so I assume one of them will miss induction. At least one of the Blige, Jay-Z and LL Cool J trio will probably be picked, to trigger "outrage" and clicks. I also suspect one "artsy" pick like Kate Bush, Carole King, New York Dolls or Todd Rundgren. Tina Turner and Dionne Warwick both seem like they've been in the Hall for 20 years already to me, and yet, don't seem like they should be in it at all. And, they should just rename it the "Music Hall of Fame" or some generic thing like that, since that would sell plenty of tickets.

 

Buffett is an interesting case. A lot of guys in the bro country world are just following the path he started years ago. There's a lot more to his career than just Margaritaville and his other big songs. Given the life he has right now he probably doesn't care too much.

 

Mary J. Blige--yes
Kate Bush-who
Devo-deNO
Foo Fighters--yes
The Go-Go's--The No-No's
Iron Maiden--yes
Jay-Z--yes
Chaka Khan--indifferent
Carole King--yes
Fela Kuti--who
LL Cool J--should have been in already
New York Dolls--indifferent
Rage Against The Machine--Should they? yes. Will they? Doubtful
Todd Rundgren---Hall of FAME. Not hall of a couple of good songs.
Tina Turner---easy yes.
Dionne Warwick---see above.

 

On DMB, I'm a huge fan. I don't think I'm even putting in the Hall Of Fame. Not yet anyway.
It's the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame for crying out loud. It's become so watered down with everyone who has made 1 good album then they think they get in.
Nah.
