yeah that's kind of my point, if S-K is in line they're in line behind the Replacements, SY, the Pixies, etc. all of whom have been eligible for a while without a shoutout. if the 120 Minutes crowd starts getting inducted, they're way way in the middle of the pack.

i think Sheryl Crow was already inducted in 1998 and they're just waiting to tell us
i kinda want them to waive the 25-years-after-the-debut for Grohl
I mean how can they wait till 2020 for Grohl

The Spinners are as deserving as anyone on that list. Nominated once before in 2012.

i will be the first to vote The Smiths but they don't have a chance in hell.

I think one notable part of Joan Jett's musical legacy is that she was and is a true rock and roll road dog. Jett has played a serious amount of gigs over the years, she's really good on stage and I would say that is a big part of what has really kept her music going.

Curious awards these. Has anyone ever turned them down? Always makes me laugh the anti establishment only really anti until someone invites them in. Like they both secretly wanted each other in the first place.

Fuck em
If you were a heavy metal fan in the early '70s, you almost certainly would have known who the Spinners were--might have even liked them. They were all over Top 40 with a number of brilliant singles.

If it was a Fall song, it would be "go fuck yourself DETROIT Spinners" unless Mark E. has issues with the British Spinners (and he probably does).

There are clearly better acts here, but NIN are the most important to my personal musical history, so I'm voting for them.

I'm voting for the Smiths just because I'd like to see Mozz and Johnny Marr together in a stage exchanging uncomfortable looks. Anyway Reed will get in eventually, and even though I like NIN, I'm not really interested in extending Reznor's upcoming award ceromony tour.

Re the S-K talk, I mostly meant it in the context of Joan Jett -- and I wouldn't be surprised if they at least get nominated for similar token-lady-rockers reasons. But yeah who knows.

Aren't Radiohead eligible in the next few years? They seem like a shoe-in. Is Jann Wenner still the main person behind who gets in? I doubt he's even heard of S-K.

Still no Chic, to save you the click.
I bet Johnny Marr breathed a sigh of relief now he knows he won't have to put up with Mozz for another uncomfortable evening
