Janet Jackson? Meh.

Roxy Music all day.

I like Stevie Nicks better than Devo, also.

They were my predictions, not preferences. Roxy Music is actually one of my all-time favorite groups and easily my favorite of the nominees. They were way ahead of their time. But they've never gotten the buzz some other bands have for being influential and they never sold much. I hope they get in, though.

Stevie Nicks is already in with Fleetwood Mac. I like her too. But idk if her solo career was enough to merit it on that alone. If she'd never been in Fleetwood Mac would she be inducted based upon her solo output ? I doubt it. But OTOH she would have recorded a lot of those great tunes solo, that she wrote and recorded with them.

Janet Jackson has the popularity, longevity and critical acclaim... from those who are into that sort of thing.

The Cure should already be in, imo.

As for Def Leppard, we'll see whether Bon Jovi opened the floodgates for hair metal crap or whether that was a 1-off. I suspect they'll be inducted.

I see Stevie Nicks getting in. Agree on the Cure. Not a fan of the rest but I agree with your picks.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Todd Rundgren(Not only for his early music, but also for his studio engineering, and producing other bands in his later years)

Roxy Music ( I thought they were already in)

The Cure (I thought they made it in years ago too)

The Zombies (Rod Argent should've been in long ago)

Devo (Sure why the hell not)

RATM (They'll get in soon)

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

about 2/3rds of that list never played any rock and/or roll in their entire careers

Forgot Stevie was in with Fleetwood Mac.

I'll go LL Cool J then.
Not a preference.
But he has decades of exposure.
