Bon Jovi, The Cars, Dire Straits, The Moody Blues, and Nina Simone
Always a good discussion here on this topic!
Here were all the nominees:
Personally, Bon Jovi belongs for sure. I would say without a doubt that Mark Knopfler belongs, but not sure if Dire Straits the band does. The Cars have some good songs for sure (my kids and I rock out to Hello Again all the time), but not sure they are HoF caliber. Rage should make it at some point, as Tom Morello is an amazing and groundbreaking player. Judas Priest probably, but their fame pre-dates me a bit. I also think LL Cool J was influential and deserves another look.
ETA: other than Nights in White satin I'm not terribly familiar with the Moody blues. I'm sure some of you are so let me know what I'm missing
All that said, there are years where Im dying to see the HBO special from the induction ceremony. This year isnt one of them.
