In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

The Cars in an early lead? :D

Good man. Exact same as my ballot except addition of Chaka Khan.

I was torn between Chaka Khan and Yes. :blush:

I'm puzzled by groups like NWA, or even NIN, being listed.  Is what they do really rock and roll?

NIN, definitely.
NWA, well, they belong as much as Run-DMC. /shrug

I can't believe Steve Miller's not in yet.

I voted: Steve Miller, People of Color Who Have Justifiable Grievances, and Yes.

Other bands I like, such as The Cars, just don't have the play list IMO.

I went with:

The Cars
The JBs
NWA
The Smiths
The Spinners

The JBs should have been inducted along with the other "Backing" groups in 2012 (the Famous Flames were inducted that year.)

I was torn between Janet Jackson and the Spinners.  I went with the Detroit band this time.

Especially odd as Purple were a huge international success as far back as what 1972, only some 43 years ago.

Chic
Cheap Trick
The J.B.'s
Steve Miller
NWA

Not based on how much I like them...well that's not true, I like them all a lot except Steve Miller, but I think it's only fair.  I agree with Yi's sentiments re: The Cars.
