No love for J. Geils Band??? Great Rock and R&B Band, especially their stuff from 1970-1980 (Not a fan of their most popular album Freeze Frame).
Blow You Face Out one of my favorite Live albums of all time. Was too young to see them in their prime, but have seen them live 4 times since the late 1990's and they never disappoint.

Kraftwerk
Journey
Depeche Mode
Chic
Pearl Jam
Chic is pretty much Nile Rodgers, who belongs in there.

Huh, Kraftwerk or Depeche Mode.
I love them both, but it's a tough call. IMO, Kraftwerk were MUCH more influential on other artists and music in general, but I think DM were much better songwriters and have a superior body of work.

So I like that Trouser Press at least stuck to their guns even after the band found success...

I voted for Kraftwerk, ELO, The Cars, and Yes. I had trouble picking a 5th but selected The Zombies because Odyssey and Oracle is one of the greatest albums of all time.

As a fan of all 3, I disagree. Even though BB are the godfathers of hardcore punk, their musical talent transcends the genre.

Every year I ask:
Why isn't Kraftwerk already in? Massive influences.
Why is Journey even on the list? The godfathers of glossy, soulless rock. The progenitors of the worst characteristics of hair bands.

If the Bad Brains get in I wonder if there will be a shitstorm over their anti-gay songs and views.

I highly doubt they will get in. Who knows if that incident with the Big Boys or that one song (which they both regret and apologized for) will have any effect. I don't remember anyone protesting Guns N' Roses' induction for writing the racist/homophobic song One in a Million which was even covered by neo-Nazi/white supremacist Ian Stuart of Skrewdriver.

I know Journey is very "cotton candy", but I've never really felt they were soulless. They did what they did very well.

The backlash against Journey reminds me of the same kind of backlash against the Rap/Hop-Hop artists that have been nominated (or even voted in). The response is classically the same. Just because you don't like it, or consider them a fit for the Hall, doesn't mean far more don't feel differently.
And when people talk about how the Hall artist should have been influential, Journey definitely fits the bill for better or worse.
And as a fan, I would put the album run of Infinity to Escape against anything else from that genre. Escape is one of my favorite albums period.

I keep forgetting about them because I forget that they aren't already in!
Most people don't know how hugely successful they were, and how influential they were. Beyond that they were merely brilliant, musically...
Tull, Maiden, Ronnie James Dio, Priest, etc not even nominated - WTF???

The ones that mystify me why they don't at least appear on the ballot:
Johnny Winter
T Rex or as Marc Bolan
Mott the Hoople
Grand Funk Railroad
The Guess Who
The Faces
Is Canned Heat in?

this guy, not so much
don't know why people take this stuff so personally
Journey has a place in this institution just as I believe Rush and Kiss did and the Replacements still do as well as other acts I may not care for

I hope Perry can find a way to be part of it, possibly even performing at the ceremony if they get in. And given Rollie recently worked with Schon again on Santana IV, there is hope for him as well. Would love to see a "Captured" repeat of Feeling That Way/Anytime along with Wheel In The Sky and Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin' (if Rollie is included)

I'm not a fan of hip-hop, but hip-hop in the 1980s and 1990s was exciting and creative, and it went places music had never gone before. It changed popular music around the world. It doesn't matter to me that I'm not a fan, I'd say that the first generations of hip-hop acts definitely belong in the HOF.
