Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame and New Wave

[Major Tom]

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the Pretenders inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame this year. [:D]

Who in the new wave scene do you think should be nominated next, and who has been left off the list so far?

My nominee would include Echo & the Bunnymen but I know they won't make it. I would love to see XTC inducted, they really deserve it.

I'd love to see Blondie inducted.
I always thought Patti Smith was in there, I was suprised to find she wasn't.

I'm just glad the Talking Heads made it in a few years ago, they are amazing.

100% agree. And Blondie was quite successful financially in tbeir hey day.

Agree w/ Blondie.

I also think The Cars and The Cure should be in there.

[MartiniHoudini]

Depeche Mode should be inducted. They've been together for 25 years now. And with the exception of Kraftwerk, have been the most influential electronic artist.

I was going to post the same thing about Depeche Mode. But their first release was less than 25 years ago, which I believe is the minimum requirement for entry. And their first US release was ???.

Of course Kraftwerk has been eligible for years[:D]

I'm glad to see other people recognize Kraftwerk's cotribution.
Not sure who's in the hall or not, but how about some B-52s...

The 2006 inductees are:

Black Sabbath
Blondie
Miles Davis
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Sex Pistols
Herb Alpert & Jerry Moss

Is Roxy Music in the Hall of Fame? Perhaps not a huge success in the U.S. but undeniably influential

[StormyPetrel]

Numan was quite innovative. He should have a spot in there somewhere.

Sadly, though, the RRHOF seems to be based too much on popularity.

My 3 picks would have to be Devo,B-52's, and Adam And The Ants.These three really need to be inducted.

here are some NW and other personal favorites that have been inducted so far:

'96
David Bowie
The Velvet Underground

'02
