Official Winners as decided by me below. And, my personal winner is not Oscar-nominated, I'll also pick who I would vote for among those nominees.
Funny how the Rock Hall has to constantly reassure people like "Wanner is no longer in charge. We don't operate like that anymore."
Based on these nominees, here are my early #RockHall2026 predictions:
Mariah Carey, Phil Collins, Lauryn Hill, INXS, Iron Maiden, Oasis, Luther Vandross
There seems to be an emphasis this year on acts that have short but impactful discographies. Like, Lauryn Hill and Jeff Buckley only have one studio album each.
