I hope so-they are such singular artists

Sade i can see for sure.

Erykah very highly doubt it.

Sade, possibly

Erykah, never gonna happen

If they ever get around to her, I say Sade will get nominated and maybe inducted after one or two tries. Erykah? Love her but I don't think so.

^ We meant the Hall, not anything personal. We all love Badu here. But be real, you think the committee will pick her? Think about it.

Oh yeah! i love Badu! i think she is the shit.

But i don't think she will be even nominated for the hall.

What do you guys think about Lauryn though?, i was thinking maybe her.. but she has a small body of work

Who knows? The Hall has a lot of weird folks in its committee and then we have the 600-plus folks who are part of the voting every year, inductees and record executives. So it depends on how many votes are tallied by all the people that votes for the inductees. I don't know if Lauryn would be picked at all. It's strange.

I mean Sex Pistols went in with only one official album...or didn't go in since they said fuck u to the hall?

True! Johnny Rotten and 'em were basically like "fuck off". I love that line, "we're not your monkey and so what?" Lots of folks were like "YEAH NOW THAT'S ROCK AND ROLL!"

I think Lauryn might get in. A very very small chance though. Her album was very influential though so who knows

Yeah that could get her in. I think Miseducation is part of the Hall of Fame list of influential albums by that list (NARM I think it was).

Sex Pistols were Virgin/Branson's ticket to the big time. (Sort of think both are overrated) I wasn't alive when they hit. Were they really that big? [Edited 12/20/12 17:31pm]

For a time yeah, in 1977. They were the UK answer to the Ramones in the U.S. though the Ramones had less commercial success anywhere when you compared them and the Pistols (who actually had a few top ten UK hits).

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Erykah badu with all my heart. Great body of work, fantastic live performer and good singer.

BUT

I dont see the Hall inducting her because of the history of snubbing and overlooking over the years they have done. There are alot of iconic and influential bands that have yet to get in because of their foolishness and politics.

For crying out loud, they just recently inducted Donna Summer who has been snubbed multiple of times just because she recently passed.

I personally dont think the RRHF means anything because its just based on biased opinions and not on who really deserves it. To be honest, I think acts like her and Sade deserve to be in it as well as lauryn hill.

I have a better chance of dropping my crutches, and walking to the hall of fame than Eryka being inducted into it.

Ms. Badu is probably too niche for the RRHOF, even if most of the voting committee was familiar with her , they may end up passing on her. Sade has the status and creditability to earn a spot but I doubt she'll get in on her first try, she's qualified to be in by the way since her debut was in 84. If PE are going in on their first ballot, she deserves to go as well.

Badu, no shot.

Sade, they got a chance.

Erykah? Where did she come from? I love her, but it's not gonna happen anytime soon.

Sade...I don't know about her either.

ms badu and sade will never be considered for the rrhof. these type of consideration only go to white male/ female performers. these two artist do not have a big impact on white male demographics so therfore it will not happen.

No, I don't think either will get in and neither will Lauryn.

I like all these women, but I can't see it, especially Lauryn. Her career is gone!

Your first record has to be 25 years old to be eligable for the RockandRoll Hall of Fame. So Sade yes, Erykah no, because she hasnt been around long enough.

yes. the question will be when they will have legit shots.

We shouldn't discount them out of hand for their "niches" or limited body of work. Those could work in their favor.

When judged against numerous other acts that will be eligible, particularly in the R&B/Soul category, their work will likely be seen as more substantial than that of their peers.

Great artists with limited bodies of work appealing to smaller audiences have been inducted over the years; they've just had to let their legacies "get some age on them" before they are recognized.

Whether 10 years or 20, they will each be in the "If _____ got in, why not ______?" convo. And they might could get the call.

Erykah and Sade will be nominated and inducted long before acts like Deep Purple, KISS and Cheap Trick get in. They really should call it the MUSIC Hall Of Fame.

I'd vote for THAT, Shorty. But yeah...you & Tim are right....love Badu forever but..not gonna happen.

I think Lauryn has a pretty good chance of being nominated, Sade as well. I don't think Erykah would even be nominated (assuming the committee had even heard or know about her). Furthermore, would Erykah herself even care about it? I don't think she would.

Neither one of them should have a snowball's chance in hell.

how come, ms trina?
