These acts deserved an appointment

Just ask Janet Jackson, Radiohead, LL Cool J, The Zombies, MC5 and Rufus with Chaka Khan. These names are on the list of short-listed candidates in 2019 and have all been named in previous years, with LL Cool J and Khan each having won their fifth nomination this year.

To be eligible for Rock Hall, the bands must have released their first recording 25 years ago, which means that the artists who made their debut in 1993 are now in the running. And for all the names that won their first Rock Hall nomination this week – including Todd Rundgren, John Prine, Devo and Roxy Music – a number of others were left off the list.

Complete list of nominees: Def Leppard, Stevie Nicks, Janet Jackson, Devo, Radiohead and more

Starting October 9th, the public will be able to consult the website rockhall.com to express their votes on the people they would like to see in the 2019 promotion. Voting ends on December 9th. The five best artists selected by the fans will also be taken into account. consideration alongside those chosen by the designated voters in the music industry.

Whether it's their first year of eligibility or that they have been fighting for a candidacy for years, those 15 names, which are not on the list, could easily have rivaled quality with the list of potential candidates for nomination this year.

Beck

This is the first year that Beck is eligible for Rock Hall – his debut album "Golden Feelings" was released in 1993 – and it seems likely that the Grammy-awarded singer-songwriter will be nominated at some point, 2018 has not been. his year.

Blink-182

Another newly eligible group, Blink-182, has not seen many other groups of their 90s pop-punk generation arrive at Rock Hall, with the exception of Green Day in 2015.

Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony

The classic 90s hip-hop group began planning its nomination campaign several years ago and, given the fact that the hip-hop genre is a relatively new addition to Rock Hall, their generation of rappers deserve to be recognized.

Count crows

The grunge icons Nirvana and Pearl Jam have already reached the Rock Hall, but the way the committee deals with Counting Crows and the generation of alt-rockers of the 90s arrived under the wake of the grunge remains to be demonstrated.

Dave Matthews Band

Similarly, the DMB jam group brothers have not had much luck entering the Rock Hall, although they have achieved more success in the charts than bands like Phish, who became eligible for appointment in the 1980s and has not yet been short-listed. .

Depeche Mode

There is no noticeable lack of new British wave of the 80s in the Rock Hall. And if the nominations for The Cure and Devo this year go in the right direction, there are still bands like Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, New Order and The Smiths on the list of snubs.

Jane's Addiction

With the 2012 induction of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the nomination of Rage Against the Machine this year, the next Los Angeles rock band of this generation to become the Rock Hall should be Jane's Addiction, which had was last nominated in 2017.

Jeff Buckley

Can Buckley enter the Rock Hall with the strength of a single album? The fans of "Grace", her beloved debut and the only full release before her death in 1997, would certainly say so.

Judas Priest

Influential rockers have been eligible since 1999 and, considering the number of other heavy metal bands that have reached Rock Hall – including Black Sabbath, Metallica, Deep Purple and Kiss – Judas Priest is also part of the band.

Kate Bush

Also named last year, Bush is perhaps more familiar to British listeners than to Americans, but his extremely influential discography, which continues to inspire some of the most interesting contemporary pop artists, is more than qualified as a Rock Hall material.

Nails of nine inches

The group that made the dominant industrial rock, Trent Reznor and co. in one way or another, has never earned a single nomination at Rock Hall.

Outkast

Perhaps the biggest feat of the year concerning a newly eligible act goes to Outkast, though it seems unlikely that Big Boi and Andre 3000 of the group will be out of Rock Hall for long.

Sheryl Crow

Recently eligible this year, Crow has all the critical love and commercial successes she needs to be part of the Rock Hall.

Snoop Dogg

Snoop spoke at the Rock Hall Induction Ceremony in 2017 to pay a moving tribute to his friend Tupac Shakur. Newly eligible this year, it's time for Snoop to receive its own tribute at an induction into Rock Hall in the near future.

Bailiff

Until Janet Jackson is inducted into Rock Hall, one of many names whose recognition is long overdue, an honorary moratorium should exist on any other R & B artist out of respect. That being said, Usher has become eligible this year and it will be interesting to see how Rock Hall treats R & B artists of its generation favorable to radio.
