BadKid58 86 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago I hope David Byrne gets it, I love Talking Heads. Or basically anyone but Taylor Swift. I went from really loving Folklore few years ago to rolling my eyes every time I hear her name or see her smug face. She can get it after some years when she's more humble imo. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing maybe this: “A songwriter with a catalog of notable songs qualifies for induction 20 years after their first commercial release of a song.” So I guess Gaga would be eligible in 2028 if I understand that correctly. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love her music, especially 1989, but recently I can’t listen to her without getting mad 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore p/k/a P!nk - Glitter in the Air * Just Like A Pill * Raise Your Glass * So What * What About Us She has much better songs than some selected here but I am so ****ing happy she's in consideration. Such an underrated songwriter. Kind of surprised Kiss, David Byrne & Patrick Leonard aren't already in the HoF. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
