Nirvana
The Replacements
Hall & Oates.
Cat Stevens

That would be the end of my ballot.

Who I think WILL get in:

Nirvana
Chic
Linda Ronstadt
Cat Stevens
Yes
Deep Purple

For whoever asked who "Chic" was, it was a group headed up by Nile Rodgers. Jazz infused disco dance music with a little Earth, Wind, and Fire tossed in. Very popular in the '70's. Didn't like 'em, but they were always a critics' darling. If you've ever heard Daft Punk, then you have an idea what Chic sounded like. Daft Punk is pretty much Chic on steroids, and Rodgers produces a lot of their stuff (prolly has something to do with the writing, too). I don't like 'em, but I'd bet more than a dollar that Chic goes in.

My votes:

Deep Purple (Rush going in last year may help their cause)
Peter Gabriel (Already in with Genesis, solo stuff too out there?)
KISS (Gene Simmons has more or less said in past that RRHOF can F.O.)
Nirvana (Slam dunk)
Yes (19 current or former members, who goes in?)
I've been to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!! It was years ago when I was a teenager but it was SO AWESOME!! I would love to go back one day!
