Current Rock and Roll Inductees
If there was a Hall of Fame for misinterpreted sarcasm set to music, Randy Newman would have been a lock a long time ago. As such, the Singer/Songwriter with the biting sense of humor has found himself waited longer than most for the accolade of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.

Many of Laura Nyro’s songs became hits; though ironically not in the version that Nyro herself sung. An influential songwriter who touched many artists, Nyro left behind a long legacy of Singer/Songwriter material, yet did so in the vein of a Poppish, R&B style. She is far from the best known artist enshrined in Cleveland, but those that knew her respected her.
Inducted in 2012. From New York City, New York, U.S.A.

Many entries on this list discuss Heavy Metal acts and whether the genre will receive long term respect from the Hall. Should that happen, we wonder if one of the bands that get credit for popularizing it, Blue Cheer may get a look from Cleveland.
199. The Human League

After the induction of Grandmaster Flash, there has been a lot of debate among music fans about whether Rap acts belong in the Hall. There really hasn’t been any debate about Synth Pop bands as without any inducted the trigger for debate has yet to begin. We here at NIHOF wonder if one of the more successful and influential bands, the Human League were to get in, whether that debate would rage as loud as the Rap one.
