Out of all those names, the
Out of all those names, the slam dunk looks like... Bon Jovi. People love that mainstream shit.
Folks also love the Eurythmics and Depeche Mode.
I personally think the Cars have a good shot.
Meters would be great but why hook them up while Art is still with us (that would be too kind).

>>>>>Kate Bush skeeves me out.
Ha! I am a big fan, but can certainly understand why she is not everyone's cup of tea. What exactly about her skeeves you out? The high pitched voice? Her general weirdness?

Yeah, both those. She's just too batshit crazy for my tastes, and her music does zilch for me. Much like Sixer's Radiohead, or St. Mark's MMJ, she's one of those Emperor Wears No Clothes artists IMHO.
Oh, and Nina Simone? Really? She had zero influence on Rock & Roll, unlike either Sister Rosetta Tharpe or Link Wray. Her nomination is just more hipster posturing and ass-sniffing.

my pick 5:
bon jovi, cars, dire straits. moody blues and zombies
not who I want to get in but I think these 5 will make it for various reasons.

Yes. Here is the official website and it indicates how many times each of the bands/artists have been nominated:

J Geils Band is on its fifth nomination and considering dude died this year, I suspect they will finally make the cut for what its worth.

This year's nominees have few slam dunks and a lot of choices that one can make a solid argument for inclusion.
I would like to see the MC5, The Zombies and LL Cool J make the cut. All three were hugely influential. As a side note, as far as I'm concerned, LL Cool J's song, I Need Love, is one of the best songs ever written.

Definitely the Moodies and
Definitely the Moodies and the Meters, those two are inevitable. Dire Straits and J. Geils. Maybe the Zombies.
Fuck Radiohead.

No. Other then the Moody
No. Other then the Moody Blues/Meters/Giles, this is truly the bottom of the barrel and not one of these other bands deserves to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
I am a Dire Straits fan of their music, but they shut down the pop shop way too early.
I would hate to see MC5 & LL Cool J & Bon Jovi in. Rufus is on the wrong song sheet here.

sentimental pick....j. geils band ( not 1, but 2 great live albums capture this band at its best, both long before MTV, and "geils")

I think they should have inducted more than just these. Is it a rule they can only allow so many a year? Should do more

Nothing new - but it's getting ridiculous.
And as long as The J. Geils Band is not in the RnR HOF - it is seriously NOT really rock nor roll
