The official Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2020 Nominees are here

Pat Benatar
Dave Matthews Band
Depeche Mode
Doobie Brothers
Whitney Houston
Judas Priest
Kraftwerk
MC5
Motorhead
Nine Inch Nails
Notorious Big
Rufus w/ Chaka Khan
Todd Rundgren
Soundgarden
T.Rex
Thin Lizzy

At first glance I would say that The Doobie Bros, Whitney Houston, Todd Rundgren, Dpeche Mode and Dave Matthews will get in

Please, no, not Dave Matthews.

No J. Geils Band? That is a complete and utter travesty.

Here's who I think should get in. As many years of this have shown, what I think and what the voters in the hall think are totally different.

Doobie Brothers
MC5
Todd Rundgren
T.Rex
Thin Lizzy

Ditto to no Dave Matthews.

At least Cher is not on the ballot. She almost singlehandedly transformed Gregg Allman into B-list pop singer.

I agree where's J.Geils Band. Think the Doobies and Thin Lizzy are great picks. I agree on DMB but they will probably get in. I do think Sonny & Cher should be in.
I would like to see Bad Company and Warren Zevon in. Also Willie Nelson

Congratulations to the newest Inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. In the Performer Category:

Depeche Mode
The Doobie Brothers
Whitney Houston
Nine Inch Nails
The Notorious B.I.G.
T. Rex

Ahmet Ertegun Award:
Jon Landau
Irving Azoff

Surprised that Pat Benatar and Dave Matthews Band didn't get in. Surprised that Notorious Big and T-Rex did.
The Doobies long overdue!

T. Rex is long overdue.

The choice of Whitney Houston leaves me speechless. The only thing Whitney has in common with the greats of rock-n-roll that I can think of, is a mutual fondness for cocaine.

Gunnar
That's what makes her eligible LOL
