Soundgarden is easily the best band on that list and should be a slam dunk to get it. None of them can touch Cornell's voice and the range he had....

Loved him and his band(s).

Still sounded like he was going to pull something every time he'd reach for one of those high notes.

IDK but Bad Company, Billy Idol, Joe Cocker really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Black Crowes too, IMO.

 

[Troy McClure]

Bad Company - No. They've been eligible for a couple of decades. The reason they're not in is because they were not all that special. They're only nominated to make old voters happy.

The Black Crowes - No. Nothing bad to say about them, but they feel like a second tier 90s rock act.

Mariah Carey - No. She's fully qualified to get in, but she should be punished for that Christmas song.

Chubby Checker - Hell no. Dude wrote one song.

Joe Cocker - No. His only real hit was a ballad he did for a movie soundtrack.

Billy Idol - Yes. He had a surprising number of hits, but I almost said no strictly because of Eyes without a Face.

Joy Division/New Order - Yes. This one is more about the influence than the fame, but I have to give it to them there.

Cyndi Lauper - No. Feels like she was more a bit than anything.

Maná - No. Never heard of... Him? Her? Them?

Oasis - No. And I say this specifically because I want to see the UK's reaction when they don't get in.

Outkast - Yes. One of the bigger hip hop acts with Hey Yeah being a massive crossover hit.

Phish - No. Can a band more known for an ice cream flavor than their music get in?

Soundgarden - Yes. They were huge.

The White Stripes - Not yet. They'll get in, but they can wait.

As usual the RRHOF misses the boat with this cast of nominees. Soundgarden and Bad Company plus Chubby Checker as the senitmental pick are all that are worthy of this list. Yet still no Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motorhead, UFO, Scorpions, Thin Lizzy, Ted Nugent, Megadeth, Slayer etc. This institution is was and will continue to be a joke

Anthrax and Mercyful Fate/King Diamond too
