Have always and will always love The Moody Blues.

One Christmas, in the seventies, I was driving my car and listening to my favorite radio station out of Boston, WBCN.  It was snowing and I was slowly making my way to a Christmas party.  They played "December Will Be Magic Again" by Kate Bush.   It was magical.  It was so unique. 

I would put Kate on my list as well.

I voted just a while ago for 5 of them. I record the rock and roll hall of fame shows every year and save them.

I would love to see Radiohead and Depeche Mode in.  Surprised some of those on the list aren't already in.

@mistriTsquirrel 'Creep' is one of my favorite songs! It speaks to everyone, on some level.

@Ibby114  "Creep" is one of their most famous songs, but they have other songs that I find more...intense?  Not sure if that's the best word.  I do like the song, though.

I'm surprised that Rage Against the Machine is nominated, but not Nine Inch Nails.  That's just bizarre to me.

It finally let me vote.

Finally.

@Pearlee

Thank you for posting this.  I'm stunned that I didn't realize the selection was open to a public vote!  I always thought it was a board or group that did the selecting.

I was also shocked to learn the Moody Blues were not already inducted.

Have seen them as a group and seen Justin H. in a small venue with only his guitar.  Sigh. 

I told DH I would leave him in a minute if I got the sign from Justin

Why is LL Cool J nominated?  He does rap and R&B.

How does this relate to rock and roll?

They really were one of a kind....my heart still hurts when I think of Ben Orr...such a talent, died too young. Didn’t even realize he was the big talent in the group, always thought Ocasek sang the lead in all the songs!! 

[ROMARY]

Love  Lou Christie, too.  'Lightning Strikes', etc., etc.
