If I was trying to stick to rock:
Foo Fighters (they don't deserve first ballot, or to be in at all, and I'm a big fan, but whatever. They're gonna get in at some point. Might as well get it over with)
Iron Maiden (long overdue)
Tina Turner (she's in for Ike and Tina, and thats probably all she should be, but she's Tina Turner. I don't know, I'm not super against it. She had a successful solo career)
Rage Against the Machine (not dying to see them in but one of the few bands from that time that truly made an impact)
Carole King (I think she's already in as a special award, but Carole King for a career is enough to honor)
New York Dolls (long overdue)
Todd Rundgren (I've never liked his solo career, but his career as a producer and helper and influencer in the general music sphere, there's more than enough to induct there)
I could understand an argument for Devo as well, gun to my head.

Can it be like Major League Baseball where there are lots of nominees but no one gets in?

Maybe not exactly RnR, but Kate Bush is one of the most gifted artists in the list.

They might as well change the name to Music Hall of Fame. JayZ? Be like the Stones getting inducted into a Rap Music Hall of Fame!

Agree, but even more-so, they might as well change the name to "Sustain a decent career HOF". It seems anyone/band can get in if they were okay for a few years.
For a true R'n'R HOF, it should be truly special acts, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Beatles, Stones, Who, LZ, maybe a few others. NOT Tina Turner solo (I'd even argue not Ike & Tina Turner, to me they were not HOF material - they have a "Best of" worth of good songs).Quote

Now that I would agree on!
