Not for nothing, but how do the Smiths continue to get snubbed? I’m a fan, but not the biggest one, and to my ears, is there a more influential band in the past 30 years? Just about every indie band, especially from the UK has taken something from them. The Cure and the Smiths were the two biggest snubs until the Cure got in last year.
T. Rex likely gets in under the Roxy Music reasoning. Soundgarden is a given. I think two of Lizzy, Priest and Motorhead get in...probably the last two, paving the way for Maiden next year. And, Biggie also is a given.
