The 2021 nominees were just announced: Mary J. Blige, Kate Bush, Devo, Foo Fighters, The Go-Go’s, Iron Maiden, JAY-Z, Chaka Khan, Carole King, Fela Kuti, LL Cool J, New York Dolls, Rage Against the Machine, Todd Rundgren, Tina Turner, and Dionne Warwick. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame website permits you to vote for your top 5... so who are your Top 5? Tina Turner and Carole King should have been chosen a long time ago. Foo Fighters seem like a lock given their success in rock. I'd love for Chaka Khan to get in. My fifth pick would either be LL Cool J or Dionne Warwick. Dionne had a great career but is she too far removed from getting votes? Meanwhile, LL Cool J was one of the first rappers to enjoy success on pop radio. I also like Rage Against The Machine but I am not sure they should get in this year. I had to look up who the New York Dolls were . If you want to vote: vote.rockhall.com/

I'm surprised to see Todd Rundgren on this list...like 80sat40fan said about Carole King (which I totally agree, how is she not in there already?), same for Rundgren. And not just for his songs either. His hand was in many, many successful hit songs by others. He doesn't really care about being nominated or getting in, but no matter what happens, he'll always be a HOFer, in my mind.

Carole King was nominated as a Performer 32 years ago, but the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame made their decision to induct her along with husband Gerry Goffin together as songwriters under Non-Performer in 1990!

Was also glad to hear that Carole King got in too-She's arguably one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

Now that the Go-Go's are going into the HOF,I think The Bangles deserve to be inducted as well.
