I'd probably vote for
The Cars
Kate Bush
Sister Rosetta Tharp
Then I'd write in
X and
The Fall (which will never happen, but I'd put them anyway)

Stunned that Radiohead didn't get in on the first ballot.

No Judas Priest. No band inducted was more influential than Judas Priest. Priest helped define an entire genre in it's infancy. And they had multiple Gold and Platinum albums and arena headlining tours. Influential and successful and considered one of the best at what they did. What more does it take?

I'm genuinely surprised Radiohead wasn't inducted. I was convinced that was a done deal.
I wonder who the RRHoF is going to get to perform Nina Simone's songs after the speech. Knowing them it'll probably be Dave Grohl.

I've come to the point of let them all in. Anymore I find myself just as cool with someone like Foghat or Molly Hatchet as anyone else.

Re: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2018 nominees
The bands/artists who I think are most overdue to get in...
Ronnie James Dio
Jethro Tull (they had #1 albums and sold out arena tours - and were one of the most musically sophisticated bands of that era)
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
The Cure
The Smiths
Depeche Mode
The last three there I don't particularly like, but I recognize their greatness within their sub genre and their success and influence.

I would add Emerson Lake and Palmer to that list. They basically owned FM radio from the early to mid-1970s.

Actually, it is.
The Sex Pistols, for example, got in solely because of their infuence and the groundwork they laid for Punk.
Influence and impact are two of the biggest criteria for artists to get in. Success is important, but not absolutely required.
