I still can't believe that they haven;t embraced either/or Depeche Mode or Joy Division/New Order.

Kraftwerk is the first time they've even acknowledged electronic based music. They need to move on that, since popular music is sounding increasingly like Gary Numan and Erasure, and less like Joan Jett and Van Halen.

Utterly asinine list. As usual.

Is this Sting's first year somehow? For some reason I'd have assumed he was in long ago.

Lou Reed and Sting are already in as members of The Velvet Underground and The Police. These nominations are for their solo acts.

Yeah, but even then it seems like he should have been on the ballot already. According to Wikipedia, his first solo album came out in '85.

very few in that list doesn't deserve to be in.
I agree Green day is almost a guarantee in...
I think Lou reed is almost definitely in too.

I don't think Paul Butterfield will make it, but you gotta love Born in Chicago!

Green Day and SRV are the only two on there I'd feel strongly about.

If you're going to start honoring rap groups (different debate), you have to put NWA in.

+1 for Joy Division/New Order inclusion as well

Likewise (probably even more so) with electronic music and Kraftwerk.

Kraftwerk and The Velvet Underground share the same inverted commercial success/musical influence relationship.

Is there a hip hop HOF?

Someone should open one in Brooklyn if not.
