Feels like they increased the number of inductees from five didn't they? They created a couple of categories to get more acts in (Musical Excellence, Musical Influence) without being subject to a full Musical Performer vote. I'm fine with that; for this year, I'll stick to five:

Phil Collins
Oasis
Joy Division/New Order (getting a two for one is a no brainer)
Wu-Tang Clan
Iron Maiden

Mariah Carey is almost certainly in though. Maybe Buckley and New Edition too. They've spurned the Joy Division/New Order nomination for years now so personal pipe dream for me to get them in.

I know that Buckley gets a lot of love but the released one album then after his death a bunch of compilations and live shows. Great promise but Hall of Fame?

Likely a special award winner (Influence?) at some point. Agree though.

If Pink gets in, I would love for her to do her verson of Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit.....

just went and looked up Jeff Buckley and wow how is he even listed here. A lower level session player with 1 album and posthumous album. Never heard his music so I listened to a coupe tracks. And it is nothing special, nothing remarkable at all, not sure how he rose to this level, but if he had 50 albums of the stuff I listened to would still be less than ho hum generic 90's sound, strumming a telecaster and emoting

Honestly INXS has been a glaring omission. Don't care about the rest, nothing too spectacular. Phil Collins would be fun. Buckley is a good story.

which begs the question, are Jefferson Airplane/starship in the RRHOF?
