[Brian]

Two others who could get a 2nd induction in 2026 are Ice Cube and Dr. Dre.

[Elton-Cetera]

Two others who could get a 2nd induction in 2026 are Ice Cube and Dr. Dre.

That's 10 years between the first and the second induction for Dr. Dre.
That's 10 years between the first and the second induction for Ice Cube.

They would be the first and second to take the 10-year wait spot.

[Elton-Cetera]

I really hope they put Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer all together on the same ballot and they all get enough votes to be inducted in the same year. There is recent examples of multiple classic rock acts all getting in together.

2016 - Cheap Trick, Chicago, Deep Purple
2017 - Electric Light Orchestra, Journey, Yes
2018 - Bon Jovi, The Cars, Dire Straits, The Moody Blues

[Zach]

The Hall has historically been somewhat resistant to prog acts, though there are a handful in now; inducting three in a single year is pretty unlikely.

[Fido]

Greg Lake was also a member of both King Crimson and ELP. Has a double induction like that ever happened? In the same year I mean.

It’s listed above. Stephen Stills, twice in one year. 0 years wait.

[Elton-Cetera]

Two members of King Crimson have been inducted in the last two years. Ian McDonald with Foreigner, and Boz Burrell with Bad Company. King Crimson is next for 2026.

While the Carter Family are indeed country pioneers, they are also a perfect case study in the way country history has been whitewashed. Much of the Carter Family's catalog was made up of songs that patriarch A.P. Carter collected while traveling around Appalachia. Often joining Carter on these song scouting trips was a Black guitarist named Lesley Riddle, who not only helped Carter write down and memorize the songs, but introduced him to Black musical traditions (like church music and the blues) that further influenced what became known as country music. Lesley Riddle also taught A.P.'s bandmate and sister-in-law, Maybelle Carter, his style of guitar finger-picking, which further influenced her famous "scratch" style of playing.

While the Carter Family have long been considered country music royalty, it was only in the Sixties that Lesley Riddle began to get his due, and in recent years that his story has become more widely known. Lesley Riddle is just one of many Black artists to play a pivotal role in country's history, with Shaboozey also encouraging fans to seek out other key figures like Steve Tarter, Harry Gay, and DeFord Bailey.

HERE'S WHY SHABOOZEY SIDE-EYED THAT 'CARTER FAMILY INVENTED COUNTRY MUSIC' LINE AT THE AMAS
"When you uncover the true history of country music, you find a story so powerful that it cannot be erased," the "Bar Song" star said the day after the awards show.

Two Rock Hall Voters Debate Their Must-Have Inductees for 2026
https://www.vulture.com/article/who-sho ... -2026.html

[Elton-Cetera]

I predicted that Carole King and Tina Turner would be nominated and inducted in the same year, and I was right! I now predict Diana Ross and Phil Collins will be nominated and inducted in the same year.

Yes, Diana Ross (82 years old in March) is still performing. She sang a medley on New Year's Eve in Times Square to ring in 2026, and she has tour dates scheduled for February and March, including Las Vegas, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. Tickets are available on Ticketmaster.

As of the latest confirmed reports from July 2025, Phil Collins, now 74, is recovering from knee surgery and managing chronic issues like drop foot from a prior back operation. He retired from performing in 2022 due to these conditions. No updates in 2026 indicate changes, and album reissues are planned for his 75th birthday on January 30.

Commodores

1. Walter Orange (1974-Present) - 79 in December
2. Thomas McClary (1974-Present) - 77 in October
3. William King (1974-Present) - 77 in January
4. Milan Williams (1974-1989) - DEAD at 58 in 2006
5. Ronald LaPread (1974-1985) - 75 in September
6. Lionel Richie (1974-1981) - 77 in June
7. J.D. Nicholas (1985-Present) - 73 in April

The 3 or 4 songs Commodores should perform at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony:

1. 1974 - Machine Gun
2. 1977 - Brick House
3. 1981 - Lady (You Bring Me Up)
4. 1985 - Night Shift

Which 3 songs should Diana Ross perform at the induction ceremony?

Early Diana Ross?

1. 1970 - Ain't No Mountain High Enough
2. 1973 - Touch Me In The Morning
3. 1975 - Do You Know Where You're Going To

Later Diana Ross?

1. 1976 - Love Hangover
2. 1980 - Upside Down
3. 1980 - I'm Coming Out
4. 1981 - Endless Love

Diana Ross and the Commodores get inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in the same year. Diana Ross is the first performance and induction of the night. She performs Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Upside Down, I'm Coming Out, and then, "surprise" out walks Lionel Richie to perform Endless Love with Diana Ross. Diana Ross is then inducted. Then comes The Commodores induction and performance with Lionel Richie. They perform Machine Gun, Brick House, Lady (You Bring Me Up), and then Night Shift with J.D. Nicholas.
