Billy Idol's guitarist and songwriter Steve Stevens is included in Billy Idol's nomination. He will be inducted with him.

Maybe this is one instance when the Musical Excellence category would actually be useful. I understand the wish to recognize Paul Rodgers, but Bad Company's catalog looks to me like it falls a little short, and that of Free even more so. So maybe the thing to do is to recognize Rodgers for Musical Excellence. I do think there's a good chance Bad Company will be inducted though.

An indicator of how this ballot doesn't look as strong to me as past ballots is that I figure The White Stripes as the #4 artist on this ballot, while on the other ballot they appeared, they could possibly have been as low as #8, with Missy Elliott, A Tribe Called Quest, Joy Division/New Order, The Spinners, Iron Maiden, George Michael, and Kate Bush all arguably more worthy, though I'd probably give the Stripes a slight edge over Bush.

One might ask why I would put the Stripes ahead of Oasis. Oasis does beat the Stripes in popularity, but I think the Stripes deeper catalog is enough to make up for that. If one were to list the 6 greatest albums by either the Stripes or Oasis, I figure 2 would be by Oasis, and 4 would be by the Stripes. I don't think either has much influence, as both have something of a throwback sound, and most of the major Britpop artists had already released a record before Oasis released their first one. Ideally, both artists will be inducted this year.

I feel like prolificness should only really be used as a tiebreaker and Oasis take popularity rather easily, even though the White Stripes do have a couple really popular songs.

Ice Cube is another one whose band was inducted and would be a deserving induction as a solo artist.

ADDED!

Hey, I wrote this.

Really good article. One small nitpick is that Billy Idol has 1 #1 hit (Mony Mony) which you forgot to list.

[Fido]

Yeah, good article Ryan. I'd probably vote for the same as you, except I agree with MP with Oasis instead of Phish (even though I probably like Phish more).

I already fixed this

[Elton-Cetera]

Apparently official voters have to vote online now. No more paper ballots mailed. I don't know if this includes the inductees as well.
