Because of Stranger Things, Boppers have made a brief comeback but only bought through the Nature Valley website. How did I not know about this? 😂 they also have the recipe but it has to taste like it did back in the 80s!

Funny that this list excludes many, but I understand it's also there for inspirational purposes. I've seen the 4 oldest, and if Micky Dolenz was on the list (he's 80) then I've seen 3 of these people this year.

This song should have been a big hit in the US. It didn't even make the Billboard alternative chart, but it did "bubble under" the Radio & Records modern rock one. Today it is somewhat a classic

I only attended 5 paid concerts this year, +1 from 2024. Sure I missed out on plenty opportunities but I sleep better knowing that I don't support LN/TM as much as I used to. I’m glad I got to see Herb Alpert, Micky Dolenz, NGDB & many who are getting up there. Anyway, the "protest" continues haha

Thinking of dropping my SiriusXM subscription in a couple weeks. Two years ago on Black Friday I bought a 2-yr subs. for $5 a month including their app channels (which I never really utilized except for the Yacht Rock one). Since that time it went to $25. I say hell no. Time to go back

A lot of acts almost made my list. I can't really think of a time when artists/bands were on the ballot for 3 consecutive years. That's why I didn't put Mariah or Oasis on mine. Almost put Billy Idol, but I think they'll give him a year off like they did with Cyndi.

Prediction #15: Home stretch! Thanks all for putting up with these posts. The final act on my nominee predictions list is Coldplay. Why haven't they been nominated yet?! smh (does anyone even say that anymore?)

Experienced my first record show today. Great turnout despite of the cold weather. I spent $x

Prediction #14: This is about to get weird, literally. Weird Al Yankovic is my next pick to be placed on the ballot. I know this will enrage or enthrall many people. This will likely givethe Rock Hall more and more backlash. But a lot of people include him in their "snubbed lists" and he...

Prediction #13: The other "diva" I have on my list is Sade. I really shouldn't consider her one. (Yes I know they'll induct the band!) In all honestly, I really considered putting someone like Patti LaBelle/LaBelle, Diana Ross or even Gloria Gaynor in this slot. But I think the NomCom is in 80s mode

Sometimes I wonder the whereabouts of those who had a brief wave of fame and they would vanish. This guy was once featured in Dan Rather's short doc on disco music in '78. But somehow he relocated to Harrison, AR. Was a successful disco musician/ producer. www.findagrave.com/memorial/134...

Prediction #12: For the classic rock/dad rock genre, many have thrown out names like Boston, Kansas and Styx. As for me, I think George Thorogood will probably be the next to be put in. He's no legend but his "Bad to the Bone" is #rockhallnomineepredictions2026

Prediction #11: the only rap/hiphop act on my list will go to Eric B. & Rakim. Nominated twice within the last 14 years. I'll admit finding someone for this genre was tough now that OutKast is in. I could have mentioned Snoop Dogg, Queen Latifah or someone mainstream

Prediction #10: this might just be a throwaway vote, as I see them probably get put into a side category - but the New York Dolls. #rockhallnomineepredictions2026

Prediction #9: Singer/songwriter category; does Bryan Adams count? I say yes. He did co-write most of his hits. Most of us know he was at the recent ceremony and he’s still actively performing. It also helps that he had a string of hits in the 80s/early 90s as well. #rockhallnomineepredictions2026

Prediction #8: we're more than halfway there, yaay! Okay, so now I'm going into the Metal/Hard Rock genre and it's always a tough one but at the same time, easy. Only because Motorhead and Iron Maiden just can't seem to get in. I'm going with the latter. #rockhallnomineepredictions2026

Kent is the first Survivor castaway to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame; however he is not the first inducted into a sports-related HOF...remember Jimmy Johnson?

Prediction #7: We've seen many unpredictable surprises on the ballot over the years, some of them only making it just once. Well, this year I'm really going to go all out and say....Korn. Part of me still wonders why Dave Grohl was jamming with them a month ago. #rockhallnomineepredictions2026

Prediction #6: Lenny Kravitz. Eligible for a decade now, nominated once. He may not have been drawn very much attention but he's been performing in the festival scene here & there. I believe he'll make another appearance on a ballot, and maybe this time he'll get in. #rockhallnomineepredictions2026

My new expensive hobby: this is what is known as Tinyvinyl. You can get it "exclusively" at Target and Urban Outfitters. A few are already selling big on Discogs, but I think for now they're just cool things to have

Prediction #5: Next up, we have Luther Vandross. I could have included any R&B crooner from Brook Benton (sadly his ship may have sailed unless he gets put into a side category) to Barry White but I went with Luther, who seems to have gotten a lot attention lately. #rockhallnomineepredictions2026

Prediction #4: since they're still inducting/nominating 60s acts, why not pick another? Herman's Hermits? No. Petula Clark? Nah. Mitch Ryder? He belongs but I don't see it happening soon. So why not someone like Tommy James (and the Shondells)? James it is as my 4th. #rockhallnomineepredictions2026

Prediction #3: the Smiths. It's a mystery that they still have not been inducted. It's also hard to believe they were last nominated almost a decade ago. Should've inducted them in 2020. Anyway, picking The Smiths again #rockhallnomineepredictions2026
