Did you see the deep list of big name influential nominees this year? If you know about rock history & influence (esp in UK but outside US), no need to ask why T. Rex. As for WH, Notorious BIG, has nothing to do with non-typical (pop, hip hop) rock acts--its depth of ballot.

T.Rex - Huh?? Dave Matthews - will get in at some point. Too much of a catalog not to. Cultural impact questionable. Bad Brains and Bad Religion - impact to punk rock being overlooked. Judas and Motor:

No JP & MH=wrong. Wave of (post)punk acts will come. TRex pick much in vein of Roxy Music last yr. Ht to non-US audiences. Very influential (style at intersections, also fashion impact in a way too) but like many glam acts far bigger careers/chart hits/audience in UK (eg Slade)

Unfortunately, I sense that Def Leppard will be the only members of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal to get in. I am still waiting for Kraftwerk to stop being snubbed.

Took Rush a long time, so I'm hopeful for those acts. Kraftwerk is a sin and I'm not even a fan but know their huge sig. Coming years will be interesting because so many eligible acts will be big names in subgenres vs. broad audience artists.

I have no issue w/ non-Rock inductees provided they intersected enough w/Rock (e.g., Public Enemy; George Michael [who still isn't in]). There is a music/recording artist hall of fame for all genres, after all, but it's clearly marketing move for the Hall/Jan Wenner. 1/n
