2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees announced

Maybe there’s something in the entry process that I don’t know about but I’m shocked Ozzy isn’t in already.

guessing because he was already in with Black Sabbath, even his earliest solo album would be pretty old though
 
My opinion of each and if they are rock or not:

Mary J. Blige - like her, not rock
Mariah Carey - not a fan, not rock
Cher - like her, not rock
Dave Matthews Band - not a fan, is rock
Eric B. & Rakim - like them, not rock
Foreigner - not a fan, is rock
Peter Frampton - kind of like, is rock
Jane's Addiction - love them, is rock
Kool & the Gang - love them, actually some of their songs do rock
Lenny Kravitz - love the first three albums, not the rest, is rock
Oasis - love them, is rock, Blur should be in same year though
Sinead O'Connor - like her, most of her music actually is alternative rock
Ozzy Osbourne - kind of like him, is rock
Sade - love her, not rock
A Tribe Called Quest - love them, not rock
 
Is Milli Vanilli eligible?

After watching the recent full length documentary I'm more and more of the opinion that the real artists and Rob/Fab probably deserve all their awards collectively. The surviving guy (Fab) has actually kept practicing and actually can perform the songs very well live, kind of shockingly so for a guy in his 50s who looks like he's in his 30s.

It's not any less fake than half of pop music and it was WILDLY more popular than most pop music. The guy behind it is scum but the actual artists and even Rob and Fab aren't really villains at all. People love those songs. You can slam 80s or early 90s pop but a few of their songs are objectively among the best pop of that era.
 
In alphabetical order:

Mary J. Blige
Mariah Carey
Cher
Dave Matthews Band
Eric B. & Rakim
Foreigner
Peter Frampton
Jane's Addiction
Kool & the Gang
Lenny Kravitz
Oasis
Sinead O'Connor
Ozzy Osbourne
Sade
A Tribe Called Quest


And early odds on who is most likely to get in for the Class of 2024:

That’s a terrible list of nominees.
 
If Ice Spice doesn’t get nominated ASAP then the RARHOF is a complete joke. She has it going on! Poop and fart songs are the best!
 
The first inductees into the Rock and Roll hall of fame included Aretha Frankiln, Marvin Gaye, and the Supremes. It's always been this way.

Michael Bolton?

Why don’t you just go by Mike?

Why should I change? He’s the one who sucks.

I redecorated my office today. Dug through some old CDs I found in the process.

Found one of my cousin's wedding album back when burning CDs of the couple's favorites and handing them out was cool and proceeded to be very judgmental of her music choices.

Not lying but Michael Bolton's version of "When a Man Loves a Woman" was on there.
 
Did he though? I feel like it was the one album.
Frampton Comes Alive was a mega hit. It's follow-up, I'm in You was platinum although not as well received.

Humble Pie's Rockin' the Fillmore is a monster rock record for those in the know.
