Perfect
We can negotiate.
Kate Bush was hawt, but I dunno that she belongs in the RnR HoF. Then again, Laura Nyro is in there, too....
Kate Bush belongs in. She's a lot more than just hawt. Supremely talented as well.

+100 O0
How much material do the Eurythmics really have?
They made something like 10 albums I think. Its really Annie Lennox that I'm voting for,

more than Kate Bush
It's not always about volume...
Just looked it and she has 10 studio albums as well...

no, you're trying to build an indefensible case...
Influence
Longevity
Commercial Success
if you don't have at least 2 of the 3, you don't belong - and if you only have 2, you better be high on them
"Hawt" isn't one of them
And "talented" doesn't matter one bit, or Donna Summer wouldn't have sniffed the HoF.
Honestly, there are very few artists on this year's list that I think are legitimately worthy
I wouldn't argue with any of these
The Cars
Dire Straits
Judas Priest
LL Cool J
Rage Against the Machine
As much as I love The Meters, and how talented they were and how influential they were on the NOLA scene, they didn't make the tiniest dent nationally, and the people
they influenced haven't made a huge impact, either.

Nah, the first one was pretty awesome - it was the solo album you keep wishing Kieth Richards would do w/o the rest of the Stones.
The third one wasn't bad, either.
The rest of them are 1-2 good songs and a lot of filler.
If he collected the best tunes from each of his solo albums after the first one, he'd have an incredible double CD, but it's been way too watered-down with extra stuff

would've been an interesting combo, though.
The Other Guy in the Eurythmics should form a supergroup with Garfunkel and Oates.
Dave Stewart
That guy too.

Which 5?
Kate Bush

Judas Priest

The Zombies
Right. But it should be 25 years or earlier, not later.
And right arm, Stagger! Some Zombies love!!

thanks. brain not fully functioning today
but functioning enough to know that most of this year's suggestions are soooooo not Hall-worthy
Except for Dire Straits. I will take Mark Knopfler as an alternate.
A little something for my friends with a Kate Bush fascination:
And if you have a little more time, a lot more about Kate Bush:
never said she wasn't talented
never said she wasn't hawt in her day
I said I didn't think she belonged in the R&R HoF, along with most of this year's list.

And yer still wrong.
She still makes me go all weak at the knees :P
That Babooshka video still does it for me.
......I'm just off the lie down in a dark room for a while.

Was that Hugh Laurie in the hallway near the phone with the clear plastic cover?
That's him in the still there on the right.
He looks so young and spry.
Here's ya' some Hugh Laurie AND Stephen Fry:
Yes that's Laurie. And that's Donald Sutherland in the Cloudbusting video.
