The way they vote in people, some of nominees are going to cancel each other out. So I think Mariah going in will cancel out Mary J this time, Eric B should be in first over Tribe. Foreigner should be in, but there are other bands that they still are missing. I think Peter Frampton will get in and possibly Lenny Kravitz but he might have to wait a few years, though he was eligible about ten years ago and Mariah was about 8 or 9. Kool and The Gang I feel should have been in there prior, Cher has had ALOT to say recently about the HOF subject prior to her getting a nod, most thought Sonny and Cher were in there but to my knowledge I don't think they ever were up for it, and I think that TV show and all that did that in. OZZY also has had things to say prior to all this, I don't know about him getting in over others that now have fallen off the ballot. |

Similarly, Ozzy's genuinely iconic work was with Sabbath; if he is inducted solo, it will be on the basis of his MTV exploits from the 2000s. pm: https://prince.org/msg/drift boss [Edited 2/18/24 20:08pm] | |

Mariah Carey's extraordinary vocal range and chart-topping hits have solidified her status as one of the most successful singer-songwriters of all time. | |

I'm gonna disqualify myself from weighing in on Dave Matthews, Peter Frampton, Ozzy Osbourne, Jane's Addiction and Foreigner. I only know a handful of their songs collectively. As for the others I'd put in Kool & the Gang, Eric B & Rakim, Sade and especially Tribe. I like Mary J. and Oasis was good but they're not quite there for me (Phil, if he's not in there already, I'd put in). Cher, Lenny and Sinead- I mean are they gonna let everybody in? I know Mariah will get in and there was a time I loved her music however, I kind of have a problem with somebody whose music is so formulaic even if it's pleasing on one level. |

Last time I checked, the fan vote wasnt there and she doesnt have a head of a record label on the board to ensure she gets in right away. We shall see. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.!
