    I really think you should have three lists.

    1. Biased:
    Yes
    Journey
    ELO
    Pearl Jam
    Chic

    2. Unbiased
    Pearl Jam
    Yes
    Joan Baez
    MC5
    Janet Jackson

    3. Who I think the HoF will put in:
    Yes (really!)
    Tupac
    Pearl Jam
    Depeche Mode
    MC5

    Journey may have a shot because of its connection with Santana and Bill Graham in the early years plus its popularity with Steve Perry as the frontman.

    Yes isn't in the first list of all nominees.

    The Zombies
    Yes

    I don't really care for any others on the list, and can't really come up with an unbiased list. I might add Joan Baez.

    Most of the bands they nominate, while they have popularity, I've either never heard or don't give a crap about. Never cared much for ELO, BTW.

    biased: Im a big ELO fan as they were one of my first loves. Of all the bands on that list, they are the only one whos music crosses so many boundaries that there is no one particular genre to place them in

    unbiased: somebody said in a different thread that their output is "patchy" and i even have to admit that. I would like to see ELO in the RRHoF mainly for Bev Bevan's ( and the late Kelly Groucutt's) sake but, in actuality, it should just be Jeff Lynne in the RRHoF, regardless if ELO is or not
